ELrcrIoY RETuRYs.-lt is very important
that officers holding elections should make
their returns to the proper officers rs soon
as possible, and that lcounty clerks should
furnish unofficial returns, especially Of the
vote for electors, to the various papers OF
the State, Mt the earliest possible day; as
upon these reports alone, must the candi-
dates for electors rely, in determining
whether they will come to Austin or not to
give the vote. The shortness of the time
intervening between the election and cast
ing of the vote prccludes the possibility Of
their being officially informed Gazette.
