THE ELECTION.

We give the returns this morning from
ninety-two cities and towns, whose aggregate
vote for Governor is as follows:
Abner Coburn. 17.436
Bion Bradbury, 12,303
Charles ID. Jameson. 2.341
Scattering 3
Republican majority, 2792.
The vote in those towns last year was, for
Washburn, 22,OSs; Jameson, 1920; Dana,
7,405; scattering, 80. Republican majority,
6,S63. The Republican loss from last year is
4,07l. Should the same ratio of loss continue
throughout the State, Mr.. Coburn's majority
will be about 5000 over everything, but his
plurality over Bradbury will be more than
1900.
For members of Congress, the Republicans
have carried the "a, Sd, 4th and 9TH Districts,
and, we think, also the LIST, although it is
claimed by our opponents that Sweat is elected.
In the twenty-six towns in this District heard
from, the vote for Governor stands for Co
burn 66S6, Bradbury 6324, Jameson PSI.
There are twenty-five towns more to be heard
from.
In York county the Democrats have proba-
bly, elected their Senatorial and County ticket
In Cumberland, we think, the whole Republi-
can ticket is elected, and also in every other
county in the State.
For Representatives, we have received but
few returns, but enough to warrant us in say
ing that there will be large majority of Re-
publicans, and Union men elected by Republi-
cans.
The vote Of the State is the smallest thrown
for many years. From the returns received,
and if the remaining towns come in the same
RATIO the whole vote of the State will not ex-
coed $4,000.

Illegal Restraint Of Insane Persons
F.om the Boston Journal, Tuesday.l

The special legislative committee to whom
WIS referred the subject Of the illegal restraint
Of persons alleged to be insane, had hearing
Monday morning. Rev. Preston Cummings
made 4 lengthy statement Of the evils which
result from tile luxity Of the present Laws upon
the matter, showing the numerous opportnni-
tics afforded for sending without examination,
to both public and private Institutions, per
SOUS who Tor any reason their friends Or rela~
tiFc5 may desire to have out Of the way. 1u
tie discussion upon this point, several mem-
lers Of the committee recalled instances with
in their own knowledge where wives had been
thus confined ty husbands on yarious pretexts,
and one case WAS mentioned -Wherc the wife Of
u clergyman, having become addicted to the
use Of Intoxicating liquor, was sent to m in
sane hospital, and there died. =
Mr. Cummings, who has had personal expe-
1ience in insane asylums, says the effect upon
the patient is much worse when Id is sent to
the hospital ty lis friends without the inter-
yentiou Of the law, because. believing that
they are not riShtful1y there, their feeling Of
confidence in those friends is destroyed, aud
what they consider their betrayal becomes q
source Of continual and harnssing complaint,
and frequently tends to Elsten the insanity
upon them for life. When sent to the hospi-
tai ly order Of court or Of Judges, on the con
trary, they subn,i: quietly to the law, and en-
tertain 70 disturbing feelings Of resentment.
To illustrate this, i calculation based upon
the returns Of the Worcester Hospital for
twtnty-one: years showed thGt the number OF
those vino recovered after having been sent to
tie hospital by their friends was but fifty per
cent. in comparison with those sent hy au.

Case Of tho ship HIercetlisa.
lF1om the New York Times, 1eth
The patriotism Of lIr. George D. Morgan

Whatever BE- the decision OF DIr. George b.
Morgan with regard to paying back into the
Treasury the sic, 600 which be has indirectly
got out Of it, we trust he will, ut least, see
the propriety Of refundinga q smaller sum which
lie is charged with having levied in the form
Of black mail upon the proprietors Of u yes.
sci na1ned the 31crccdita. The story there re-
corded is by no means the most 1iagrant Of
those The particulars Of which have been laid
before ne. The vessel in question is screw
steamer, till lately engaged in the Southern
trade. The owners having no use for her
when their commercial arrangements were
by an agcnt commissioned by A1r. " e1les, who
opened negotiations for the purchase Of the
ship Anxious to be rid of the importantly,
and to resist the e1toFtioDs Of this person, the
owners wrote direct to the Government, offer
ing to sell the vessel at any price which might
promptly refused, and the preceding negotla-
tiens were as promptly rene@cdby MI. Wel1csss
satellite, who made Intellectual attempts to
exact bribe Of IS. Geo, to be given, as lie said,
to men Of influence in the Department to in
duce them to aequiesce in the purchase. The
shipownefs very properly refused to be par
ties to any such disgrace1ul proceedings, and
thought they had succeeded in keeping their
record clear"
But the officials Of the Nary Department
were too keen to be thus shaken of. Though
the ship had been delivered according to con
tract, the purchase money Was net to be had
I'LL al the tcommissions" had been paid.
Among these was the claim Of Mr.. Morgan,
who had not previously made his appearance
IN the affair, but now demanded - 500 as his
horora1ium for writing q letter to Washing
ton TO urge the remittance Of the money which
WIS some weeks overdue But the patriotism
Of these devoted public servants did not stop
here. Other commissions were obtainable on
the cost Of fitting the vessels for sea. Till HI
advantageous bargain could be made, she was
not allowed to be got ready for active service,
but was conveyed to WDliamsburgh, where it
is said she still lies a useless but somewhat
too expensive illustration Of what Mr. Secre-
tary Nfel1es and his friends regards as "Tigd'
anee for the public interests.:''
Such is the report Of the parties interested
in {lis transaction; as the case stands, it would
seem that Mr.. Morgan WIS guilty Of some
thing very like levying black mail, and that
his brother-in.law the Secretary Of the Navy,
was accessory thereto. Explanations are
badly needed.
