CHARTER ELECuoN.-BeloW we give the
complete vote cast on the 18th inst, for mu-
nicipaFoffcers. There were some 1910 votes
cast--I576 Of which were adverse to the City
Charter and only 1854 in favor of it. Gonse-
quently if the Legislature had authority to
delegate back to the people, the power to en-
act, or to suppress laws already enacted, the
charter is a nullity. The whole performance
partook more of the character of humbug
than a sensible, business-like transaction. The
Legislature did childish and incomplete
piece of work in not providing for counting
and making returns Of the first election, and
! in leaving it to a squabble between property
holders and those who have no interest in the
welfare or prosperity Of the place. A ma
jority of the votes cast. it is charged, and we
believe were those of observation-disclosures
having come from eight to ten miles to vote
against the charter. We care but little about
the charter personally, as we do not live with
in the districttha most requires its influence.
| So little did it interest US that we did noteven
attempt to vote on the day of election but
| it was very clear even to a casual observer,
that fair expression Of the bona fde resi-
dents of the city was not being arrived at.
Many became Disguised and left the polls
without voting. ~ COT To- .
