for members of Congress and for Electors for Presi-
dent and Vice President. We give below such re-
turns as have been received up to the time of going
to press.
As general thing the vote is not as full as here
toforc This is accounted for by the fact first that
the minds of the people are much occupied by the
war, and they think more of fighting than they do
of voting and secondly there was no opposition for
President and Vice President and, except in two or
three Districts, there very animated contest
