THAT "SrAroo."- THE San Francisco
Times says that the statue of Washington,
to be given to the county in California that
donates the most literally to the Washing
ton Monument Fund, according to its vote,
looks as much like Washington as it does
like Nena Sahb; and that it might ass as
cross between an Abino and the dumb god
in the Chinese Josh House on Pine street.
The Times hope tina: the statute may be
given to some strong Democratic County as a
punishment for its political stubborness. If
the "stun pcur" is so cussed ugly as repre-
sented by the Times, we would recommend
that it be presented to Washburn, to be set
up in his sanctum so that at all times he
can have the privilege of looking upon his
counterpart in beauty.

LAKE Pass TURNPIKE CoMPANY.-This is
the name adopted for the company lately or
ganized at Dutch Flat to construct wagon
road from that place 10 Virginia city. The
report Of the engineer, upon the topogra-
ply, distance, grades, cost Of construction,
etc, was published in the Enquirer several
weeks since. and should have appeared in
the Herald but for the crowded state of our
columns. We shall not neglect, however,
to give the attention to this proposed i'm.
portant thoroughfare that it deserves. The
capital stock Of the company has been fixed
at $50, ,000-the shares 800 each. 1t is es
timaed that this amount will construct an
excellent road. and the low price of shares,
will enable nearly all interested to aid in
carrying on the work.
The distance from Sacramento to Virginia
city by this route is twentytlree miles
shorter than by Placervlle, and as Il natural
route infinitely superior The maximum
grade being but 10 inches to the rod.
Vpon the completion Of this road it will
become a formidable to that by way of
Placerville, and will undoubtedly icprive it
of much Of its well earned travel; for easy
grades and diminished distance will draw
custom.

Contested Elections.

A statement has been generally published
through the press that there will be several
contested seats in the Assembly from this
county at the coming session. We do not
know upon what authority this is based, un-
less it is supposed that throwing out the
returns from Upper Horse Shoe Bar, pre-
cinct where there were more votes IN the
ballot box than upon the poll-lst, would
have made change in the Assembly deega-
ton. But this it would not have done. If
the returns from the precinct had been re-
iected Messrs. Smith, Mundy, and Harrison
(Doug.) and Hartman (Repub) would still
have been elected Upon some of the other
candidates however, it would have made a
difference-it would have defeated Thomas,
for Senator; Bullock, for Sheriff; Fannin, for
Supervisor and several Township candidates.
The facts in regard to the returns were,
that there were l65 names on the pol-lists,
and III votes poled. To this the officers
of the election certified upon the returns
leaving the settlement of the matter to the
Board of Supervisors. The Supervisors it
seems, could find no law authorizing them
to re iect the returns and therefore admitted
them although they were satisfied that twelve
fraudulent votes had been cast. AS to who
received them of course it was impossible to
know; and they possessed no right to take
twelve votes from any of the candidates
The Co. Supervisor and one or two Town
ship officers were elected by less than twelve
votes by accepting the full vote as returned
1t was contended by counse's before the
Board of Supervisors that the entire vote of
the precinct should be rejected, as fraud
had been committed, but the Board did not
accept this view Of the case, and accepted
the vote as returned.
If the case is carried to the Courts, the
decision thereon will serve as a guide for the
future, that election canvaseers may be fully
informed as to their duty and authority in
instances of the kind.
1t is proper TO sy that no blame can be
attached to the election hoard at Horse
Shoe Bar, as they manifested every disposi
tion to preserve the purity Of the balot-box.
We are informed that Mr.. Higgins will
contest the seat for Senatorship.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %. 1860.
Mr.. EDITOR: -The exhibition Of the
Sabbath School of the Fifeenth-street
Presbyterian Church took place on one
evening of this week. arrived at the
church just in time to see train OF little
fairies come in, headed blythe superlntend-
ant of the school, Mr.. John 2. johnson.
The little girls were dressed very lastly
indeed. When they were all arranged on
the stage, Mr.. johnson approached the
front, and made neat little speech, in
which he said "this was but another evil
dence of the estimation in which this
church is held by the public, for these
children now arranged before the audience,
seeing the need of financial assistance, vol
unteered their services, held meeting, Sc
lected their own pieces, and hence you see
them. here to night; but SO short has
been the time for preparation that we must
beg the audience to overlook the defects,
should any occur" Master Joseph Cook
then delivered short address, which was
received with much favor by the audience.
One of the finest features of the affair was
the introduction Of three very small chill
dren, Masters Cook and Booker, and Miss
Fisher. The exhibition closed amid much
applause. We noticed an informal pre-
sentation to Miss Booker of pot of roses
in full bloom. There were many clergy
men of the A. NJ. E. Church in the audi
ence, among whom I noticed the Rev.
John nj. Brown, of Baltimore.
A wedding extraordinary will take place
at the John Wesley Church next Tuesday
evening, at 6 o'clock. The parties are
Mr.. Pierce and Miss Brown.
On Monday afternoon last, the Confer
ence of the A. NJ E. Church, which has

iourned. Rev. James Lynch is stationed

other appointments will be made until af-

ference. BOX.

NEW HAVEN, April, 1860.

Mr.. EDIroR:-I think you once made
the remark to me that your paper was
somewhat distinguished for its correspon-
dence," and certainly you have secured the
interest of some of our best writers and
thinkers, who often communicate their
ideas to the public, through the columns of
your highly priced paper. "May its
shadow never be less"
Some few days since we left Portland,
Maine, in the charge of Prof VIM. +.
johnson, who was there in the "full tide
of successful experiment" lecturing and
examining the heads of the good people,
with skill which does honor to his ability
and talent. Prof johnson is one of the
most remarkable men among us for scholar
ship, energy and perseverance. In social
life, and as a Christian gentleman, he is
worthy of all commendation; may success
ever attend him, and we hope that large
audiences may everywhere greet him.
Stopping in Providence for few days,
we found much to encourage and please
us-some of the most earnest and devoted
men among us are found in that city
| The Johnsons, the Banks, the Parkers,
| and the Waughs, and the venerable Nor
thup, are such men as constitute the glory
of any city. We hope soon to see them
and many other noble spirits there, again.
There is an immense work to be done in
Providence and in the State of Rhode
Island, for the elevation of the colored peo-
pie, work which calls for union and
sacrifice on the part of those who long for
the time to come when the Right shall
triumph over the wrong, and when moral
integrity, virtue and religion shall crown
the people with glory. A. c. B.
