plated evacuation OF Richmond by the Reh
ell Government has been accomplished, and
that the Rebel chiefs, bag aud baggage

as the Rebel capital can be but preparatory
to withdrawal of the Rebel armies from
Virginia, and the caving in of the Confed

the fight from the capital would Of itself bt

Photographic Evidence i'm an
Election Case.

A curious election case was decided the
other day in the house-that of Sleeper VS..
Rice, from Boston. The whole case turned
on an alleged miscount of sixty votes, in
one of the wards, which at first gave the ma
jority to Sleeper. The miscount being dis
covered on the tally,sheet on which the &C
coun. had been kept, the return was cor
rected, and the certificate awarded to Mr..
Rice.
When Mr.. Sleeper gave notice OF contest
Mr.. Rice had photograph made of the ORR
ginal tally-sheet, and this photograph was
submitted in evidence to the committee.
The testimony of the sun was direct and
conclusive The clerk had made his figure
7 very much like his l. In counting the
votes for Rice he had reached 573. Five
more were read, the figure was noted over
the last footing 573, and it was carried out
518. Palpably the opening stroke which
alone distinguished the 7 frem had been
mistaken for the fna! stroke of the 3 on
which it Joined. The case was perfectly
clear, and all that was wanted was to prove
that the photograph was taken from the
genuine unchanged tally sheet. This wa:
easily done, and Mr. Rice was admitted tc
his seat by an unanimous vote
The photograph was Autographed by the
Government printer, and accurate fac SINH
les Of the tally-sheet were thus distributed
among the members. They plead the case
themselves; and furnished at orce move
and convenient way Of disposing of al
election contest.
