BOARD OF SupERvIsoRs.-An adjourn
ed meeting of the Board of Supervisor
If this county was held at the Cour
House yesterday:
PyeSent,-Messrs, J. C Hupp, President
G.. W. Franzheim, b. S. Good, VIM Men
OILS, Jas. Salisbury, W p Wilson ana III
Wallace
An order was passed summonIns JONI
Pearson to show cause if any he can WY
certain road should not be'opened ID
Tr;ads,nbia and Liberty townships.
The snm of $500 was appropriated for
,be purpose of repairing that portion OF
Fairmont turnpike running through
ob;o and Marshall counties The latter
comfy has appropriated a like sum,
and the work of repairs will be com.
menced Immediately.
NJ Wilson thought the Board, at its
last meeting, had acted hastily in the
rriadelphia election case; he held that
the Board had no right to disfranchise
two hundred voters on account OF there
heing one or two illegal votes cast in
township. If such action were taken,
,rhat security had we that the returns of
any election could not be thrown out at
any time, and thus hundreds of voters
would be disfranchised merely from the
fact that an illegal vote had been count
cd. Mr.. w. then. moved that the action
taken at the last meeting be reconsid-
cred.
Mr.. Coed moved to amend by ex-
pnpging the record of the action from
The records of the Board.
Mr.. Wallace was opposed to expang-
ing we might repeal or reverse. but We
ought not to expunge.
Mr.. Good said the Board had acted
with indecent haste in this matter; the
law provided that the returns should be
carefully examined by the Board; they
we're NOT examined at all, but upon the
mere assertion of the Registrar of the
township the returns had been thrown
art Upon the same principle the
Roard could declare the whole returns
&c Ohio County null and void, at least in
rrrard 10 the vote for County Superin-
teSIept of Free Schools Mr.. G. then
nrednced the naturalization papers OF
nine of the rejected voters, which pa:
Ders we're endorsed by the Registrar OF
Philadelphia township. MIR. u. said all
The votes taken were cast by leg al voters
according to the Constitution Of the
state, and if the Election Supervisors
had entirely disregarded the acts of the
recent infamous Legislature, the election
rrturns would have been legal. Mr.. G.
hen withdrew his amendment, in order
. Lot the question be taken on Mr.. VIII
sons resolution.
Mr. Wallace claimed that the Board
lad acted according to law, and if the
resolution which had been passed (by
which the returns were thrown OUT was
repealed we would be involved in great
sr difficulty than we have any reason to
.pprehend now.
After further debate, the resolution of
,ir Wilson was passed; Ayes, Messrs.
F,anzheim, Good, Nichols, Salisbury
and Wilson. 3 Nvs, Messrs Hupp ard
