In the case of Catharine N. Forrest against
Edwin Forrest, full bench of the Superior
Court has decided against the motion OF de-

award of $4,000 year akmony.
Our City Canvass still "drags its slow length
along" three days having already been spent
upon it, and only about one quarter of the
votes vet csnvassed. At this rate, the whole
of this week may be consumed without reach
ing q conclusion. Yet why should it be

hour for dinner prepared and eaten on the

P. NJ. The City is disquieted, and justly, by
the bold assertions of the master-spirits of the
Board that Mr.. Opdyke is to be counted out
and Gunther counted in. Whether that is or
is not to be done, the suspense should be dis
sipated at the earliest moment. We thank Aid.
Froment for moving on Saturday to meet there
after at 10 instead of II A, NJ; and, though this
was deemed inconyenient, We trust those VINO
really attend to the canvass will henceforth
take their tea at the Hall, and proceed with tie
canvass to as late an hour in the evening as
possible. Surely, three days more ought to suf-
fee for every thing but the formality of sign
ing the canvassed returns.
So far, Mr.. Opdyke has gained 90 votes Oh
the returns as We printed them the morning
"Grunter," or "Gunth or cooley Gunther,"
or any thing of the sort, has turned up. If any
such were cast, they were allowed by the dis
trict canvassers to C. Godfrey Gunther and
counted for him in the returns already printed
by US. If there were any such votes returned
as imperfect or scattering, we are confident
they did not amount to forty. And it is re-
markable that, while so much has been said Of
these votes, nobody has assumed to locate them
no one has said, al know that so many
{" were cast in this Ward, SO many in that;
all is supposition or guess-work. And, though
shrewd politicians have steadfastly asserted
that Mr.. Gunther Is elected, not one Of them
has attempted TO girs the figures ,0hioh elect him!
Yet the conspiracy to cheat Mr.. Opdyke out
of the certificate has not been abandoned.
