The Town Meeting in Alfred.

1t is well known fact that in the town OF
Alfred political parties are more evenly divi-
ded than in any town in this State. AT a
contested election, when the voters are all out
it is seldom the case that the difference is
more than five, and frequently it is only one or
two.
al the annual town meeting in Alfred, Oh
the 18th of March, Ira Il. Drew, ESQ.,, "copper"
nead) was elected Moderator. The ballot for
lown CLERK was declared for George L. Came,
tcopperhead) 155; for Charles Brooks, (Union)
l52; for Seleetmen, &C., Silas Derby, (cop.)
154; Timothy Carey, tcop.) 1856: N. H. Rus
sell, (cop.) 155. The Union candidates had
152votes each. For Treasurer, John r. Trip
(cop.) had 155; Joseph E. Willard, (Union)
152. For Town Agent, Ira T. Drew, (cop.)
had 157; Nathan Dane, (Union) 150. Those
persons having the highest number of votes
were declared elected.
After the election it was discovered that
two persons had, each, thrown two ballots for
the Copperhead ticket, which were counted by
the presiding officer; that one young man, a
legal voter, whose name was placed upon the
voting list by the Selectmen, ON the morning
OF the election, had his vote Ia Union one of
course) refused by the presiding officer, and
that another legal voter who applied that
morning to have his name inserted on the list,
was refused by the Selectmen.
Deducting the two illegal votes from the
Copperhead ticket and adding the Union
vote which was rejected, the whole number of
ballots thrown would be 306-necessary to a
choice, 154; and as no one of the Selectmen
or either the Town Clerk OF Treasurer
mad that number, there was no election oil
either of the above officers.
Under these circumstances, Messrs. Nathan
Dane and other voters on the 31st of March,
peiitioned the acting Selectmen of the town
to issue warrant calling another town meet
ing tor the purpose of electing Town Clerk,
three Selectmen and Treasurer, there hav-
ing been no election of officers on the 18th of
March. There was no dispute about the elec-
tion of Mr.. Drew as Town Agent. The Sc
lectmen declined to issue any such warrant
and che petitioners brought the case before
the Supreme Judicial Court last week, on a
petition for mandamus to issue to said Sc
lectmen to call new town meeting for the
choice of such officers. The case was argued
by. Messrs. Bourne and Dane for the petition
ers and by Mr.. Drew for the Selectmen.
Saturday, Judge Danforth ordered the mar
damas to issue. Ii the Selectmen of Alfred
do not obey it, they are cited to appear at the
Supreme Judicial Court at Alfred on the 4th
of June and show cause for not obeying it.

My Dear Mddame:-I have the honor to
acknowledge yours Of the 18th inst, inclosing
a check to be forwarded to Mrs. Davis as
present from the ladies of Fayetteville. Sad
ly remembering how your homes were DESC
lated during the war, could not have expect
ed you in the midst of the ruin, to have been
mindful OF the wants of those at distance
Nothing could add to my admiration for the
heroic self denial and Christian virtues of my
countrywomen, for the measure was full to
overtiowing, nor could anything increase the
gratitude with which will ever recur to their
confidence nd,sympathy. 1t only remains to
assure you and the ladies whom you repre-
sent, that | am most gratefully and respect
fully your friend, and obedient servant,

POLITICAL.

During the discussion on the bill to re-
yiye the rank of General in the United States
army, Thaddeus Stevens said, alluding to the
praises which had been showered upon Cen,
Grant by various members, that he was WILLING
"to give to the hero, not only the office created
by this bill, but a stall higher office acheaeper
the happy moment for doing so shall arriue.n
The suggestion was received with applause.
The StGr, if we correctly understand the
DRIFT or its remarks Saturday, holds that the
position of the Southern rebels in the Union
has been changed BY the war. That is the
Republican doctrine. Now will the Star please
tell us, who tho people are, who believe the
Southern States are out of the Union? 1t was
that absurd implication which we undertook
to expose, and we do not intend to be divert
ed to any other issue until that is settled.
The Connecticut Senatorship has become
an interesting subject since the organization
of the Legislature. Hon. l.. S. Foster, the
present Senator, Gen. Orris S. Ferry of Nor
walk, and exGov. buckingham are the rival
candidates. 1t is generally believed that Gen.
Ferry and Gov. Buckingham will receive COM
plimentary votes on the first ballot, and on
the second Mr.. Foster will be reelected by the
solid Union vote.
