vors OF OuR CouNTY.-Ths recent

ger vote in this County than was ever
before polled. The total number was
very nearly 24O0. And yet. there we're
almost one hundred legal volsrs in lows
Township who remained sway from the
polls. and shout ~ many in Wayne
Township. In the other Townships. the
vote was pretty well brought ont. Ou
the other hand. there were doubtless
msuy illegal votes polled. We believe.
If the entire legal vote Of the County
could be brought ont. it would fully
reach $500. In tie older settled Ststse,
the proportion Of voters to the entire
population. is generally estimated ct one
in seven. 10 new countries. the proper
is greater. In this County. it may be
one to six. which would make our total
population $4,000. This. We think.
would be pretty near the correct figure.
