ELECTION IN CAPE ELIzABETH.-The an
nual election of municipal officers was holden
in this town on Monday, the 23th inst, and
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the wealth
er there was quite full attendance. The
Union party invited the cooperation of all
who sustained the National Administration
while our friends of the copperhead persua-
sion called upon all who supported President
johnson to come up to work of recon.
structing the defunct democracy.
Notwithstanding the frantic appeals and
earnest efforts of these special and newly con.
victed friends of the President, the Radicals
having becoming SO accustomed to supporting
the National Administration during the entire
conflict with the great democratic rebellion at
the South, that they failed to accept the disili.
terested invitations of our conservative friends
and in their blindness reelected the old board
of officers by very handsome majority.
The Republicans of Cape Elizabeth have
good reasons to rejoice at the progress which
their opponents are making in the right direc-
ton. 1t was but few ronths ago that they
hated Andrew johnson more intensely per-
maps than any other man-Charles Sumner
NOT excepted; but now he is, as they hope
'he,r Moses, who, in their fond and delusive,
anticipations, is to lead them back to positions
u eihoiunent, and in whose name they drink,
swear and call copperhead caucuses. Y u.
The names of the several officers elected are
as follows: =
Selectmen, Assessors and Oyerseeys of the
Poor, ]. M. Robinson, Geo. F. Henley. and Fl
s. jackson. .E4.. -. -
Treasurer and Collector, j. S. Pickett '
Town Clerk, E. II. Flint

The Stockton Election Case.

The copperhead newspapers in this otate
are trying to make little party capital out OF
Mr.. MorrilPs vote on the Stockton election
case last Friday. We doubt II the ousinesS
will pay any very great dividends. ne iac',
are simply these. Mr.. Stockton was eieo''u
bv a plurality of votes. The question was
raised in the Senate, whether majority l.
not necessary to constitute legal election
This question is of practical importance be-
cause the New Jersey legislature is now i'll
session. and is ready and anxious to send a
Republican Senator to occupy Mr.. Stockholm
seat. Nevertheless, Senator Trumbun, the
chairman OF the judiciary Committee, report
ed in favor of Mr.. Stockton, and on division
the Senate stood 81 for adopting and 20 for re-
jecting the report. So much for the pretense
that Mr.. Stockton was in danger of losing his
seat by strict party vote. tls ai 81 t.-
2 Mr.. Morrill, had six or seven weeks before
SPARED" with Senator Wrigh OF New Jersey
on this very question. Mr.. Wright went home
sick, and has not returned. Mr.. Morrill, obvi-
ously could not be bound throughout the ses-
e, sion by a temporary agreement. He adopted
however, the practice usual in such cases, call
ing on Mr.. Stockton Wednesday evening ana
formally terminating the engagement. L. Is
eight hours ride from the residence OF Sena-
tor Wright to Washington. After waiting
more than thirty-six hours, Senator Morrill,.
under the circum- tances described above, ex-
ercised his undoubted right, and the vote
which had been recorded 81 to 20, stood p to
81, whereupon Mr.. Stockton claimed the right
of voting, and actually voted himself his own
seat, the vote finally standing % to 21. ..a
Monday Mr.. Sumner moved to amend the
journal of Friday by striking out MIR. Stock
tons monstrous vote, but yielded to Mr.. Pc
land of Vermont, who moved reconsidera-
ton. In the course of the debate which fol-
lowed, Senator Morrill, was supported by Mes
srs. Sumner, Fessenden and others, who de-
clared that they were his advisers and assert
ed that his conduct had been perfectly honor
able. Mr.. Stockton 3, who alone had charged

the charge, and it will be for the advantage OF

desired to Withdraw his vote but was not per-
mitted. Mr.. Sumner offered resolution that
the vote Of Mr.. Stockton be not received il

the Judiciary Committee was lost Is to %
Pending the question of the passage OF the
resolution, the Senate adjourned. Unless by
political miracle, the passage of the resolu
ton cannot be prevented. That it should pass,
no reasonable man can doubt.

The markets have been unsettled the past week.
Buyers hold off expecting lower prices. AS was an
icipated in last report gold touched 1875 on Sat
urday and even sold at fraction below that point,
consequent upon the passage of the Finance bill in
the House. On Monday it was fuctuatng between
125 and 1885, closing at 1926. Tuesday 27th it opened
| at 1888, advanced to 123ss, and closed at 1871.
There is hardly probability that gold will reach
lower point than 125 for some time, and the conse-
| quence must be more settled and firm state of
things in the markets. The importers will know up
on what price Of the precious metal they must fix
the price of their mportatons. This state of things
arrived at, buyers will come forth and make their
purchases freely than they now do, and there
will be better state of things all the country

The PoIIcE.-The course pursued by our
worthy Mayor in reappointing the old Police,
and adding some few to the number, meets
with the appreciation of the public. In select
ing these officers great care is obliged to be
used, in taking from the hosts of applicants
those who are most competent for the station.
This was the course pursued by our late Mayor,
Capt. Mcclellan, and his successor thought,
probably, that he could not do better than re-
appoint the incumbents, against whom moth
ing could be urged. In doing this he has sat-
isfed the great body of our citizens, and we
believe that our city have an effective police.
