ed affair. The polls for this precinct were
opened at tho Sea Island Hotel, which, by
the way, is getting to be quite an institution
with US. Eighty-two votes were thrown-all
for Mr.. d. Mc9rcggor, our worthy chief Of
the blaeksmiths' department, and chief en-
gineer Of the FIRE department, who leaves this
morning for Columbia. We have not heard
what the other precincts of the parish have
done; but our managers, who went to the
usual rendezvous where all the boxes should
have been, found no one there, and conse.
quently had everything their own way.
st. Helena Parish has but two precinct
one at Beaufort and one at ST. Helena Island.
In Beaufort thirty eight votes were polled--
thirty three of which were for Mr.. James q.
Thompson, and Eve for Mr.. II. J. Judd. On
St. Helena six votes only were polled, all for
Mr.. Judd. But as neither the managers or
the voters had taken the amnesty oath, the
other judges decided that the election at ST..
Helena was invalid. Mr.. Thompson is there

large majority. ..,

candidates in tho parish. Every condition

of the Army Of the Potomac. That Office
was persistently, obstinately, and openly
administered against the private soldiers Of
the Union army, and oppressivsly engi-
neered against every representative of the
loyal newspaper press of the North and
West. 1t repressed and discouraged the Wig
orous prosecution of the war, and fostered
sympathy with the rebellion, and held up
slavery with both hands. The newspaper
men in Washington, without distinction of
party, regard General Patrick's nomination
as an Outrage on their profession and a def.
ance of the public sentiment of the army
which writhcd and suffered under his tyr
