tainly had no intention Of being unjust to
them in our statements Our figures for ma
joritics last year were taken from an unolli-
cial table in the files Of the GAZETTE, which
we supposed was correct. Black Hawk Co.
has done nobly, and We have no disposition
to be complaining or faalt finding that she
did not do better. Indeed, we think with

so strong an element of apprehension de,
serve the highest praise for giving the enc,
nay so good fight.
