peared for the respondents, Kales s Rountree
for Mr.. Sherman, and Me.srs. II. F.
Tulcy, Sidney Smith aud Il. Il.
Chase for Mr. Rose. The points made
by the respondents counsel against the writ
were, that it could not issue, because the
offices in controversy were city offices, Tor
which guo aeurraato will not lie; because the
ailidayits were defective in not showing spe-
cidcalIy Tint there we're any illegal votes cast
tor the respondents at the election; that it
docs not appear in said Affidavit that there
were any illegal votes counted for respon.
dents III determining the result Of said elec-
ton; that said af1idavits do not show that
Sherman aud Rose were ever declared elected
to said Offices By any responsible authority,
or that any certificates Of election were ever
issued to them; nor does it appear that re-
spordents lave ever acted as such officers, or
claiined 60 to do.
Arguments were made in 1naintainine these
points by Mcssrs. Rountrec, Kalcs, Tulcy and
Smith, and against them by Judge Arlington

we're cited, and the whole day was complete.

Though the hospitality Of our city is greatly

A Grand Sight.

A clown exhibited at the NJ. L. Church on
the Sunday evening before the election. He
raved aud pitched like mad bull in bear
fight. Every man who did not believe with
him was a c,pperhead, and all cope rheads
were traitors. His performance was SO very
christian Ike that'every body must have been
delighted with it. Dan Rice could not begin
to perform with this clown. Foolish people,
who elieve thoy can deceiue God, thought the
things said and done by this clown were
smart, and manifested their delight by the
olapping of hands and stamping of feet. In
good circus this mans performance would
have been considered stupid affair.

To watch its soft and fairy form"
Hers was indeed faithful portrayal and apt
comparison of heart feelings and earthly hopes
We are borne down the tide of success to day,

and drifting again in mid current where thou.
sand billows of disappointment meet, we ouly
hear faint echo of what might have been from
Times receding shore.
