Sg-The Press having stated that Judge

That paper insists that he ,ciH support Copper
head treason. We don't believe il, nor do we
believe he will to-day cast vote for Bion
Bradbury. The Press has not said that he Will
vote for Cony, for on this point we are not in
formed but that he will decline to vote for
Bradbury we have not the slightest doubt
Sg- Frequent complaints have been made
by the Argus, of the Assessors striking the
names of voters from the list, and thereby de-
priving them of the privilege and right of vo-
ting. 1t is understood by those who have had
to do with matters of that kind and ought to
be by all, that voting list is made out for one
year only. 1t is the duty of the Assessors to
canvass the city each year and enter upon
the check list the names of the persons enti-
tied to vote they find the present year, with
out any regard to the past. By an oversight
the name of the Mayor might not be found on
the list, as was the case last spring. The fact
that a mans name was on the list last year is
no reason why it shuld be put on this year, I'M
less when called upon, his name is given to the
Assessors. Every man who wishes to vote
should examine the check list before election
day and see that his name is on correctly.
