The Eleetion-

The election for county officers comes OF
to- morrow. There are ten candidates % the
track for the various positions of trust and
profit to DO accorded by the voters Of old
Washington. Six of these asplrantsare sure
to experience the modification of defeat, as
there are only four places to be filed. The
people, we suppose BY this time, have been
informed oftheir respective claims and quail
fcations, and are able to vote intelligently,
and we shall not. presume to dictate to their
sense and judgment. We have long since ex-
pressed our preference for Squire Griffith
in advance Of any candidacy except bis own.
We, however, have no issues to raise in re-
gard to this race, and had we, it is now too
late. We shall support him, because we be-
lleYe him to beA sound Union man, and
a thorough going Radical, because be 10
qualified and will make an efficient and active
officer. He deserves the SURFACES OF the
Radical party for his uutIring labOFs in their
cause, and his election would be just tri-
butte Of gratitude therefor. q,
We entertain no unkihd feelings towards
Mr.. Boring, nor have aught to say against
his competency and wOrthiness, and if be be
elected and discharge his duties satisfactory
y no one will be more willing to accord him
the credit of a faithful public servant.
Al to the rest Of the candidates we have
no public preference, except in regard to A.
G. Collins, ESQ.,, who drumming for Register.
The Squire is a strong Conservative, and we
can not cOnscientiously vote that ticket. He
has been Register for some time, and his
books are in a good condition, and no com
plant can be made againsthim on the ground
of iucompetency, or that be has not dis
charged his duty. We say this inGJustice to
the man.
Mr.. j. J. Yesger, and 1t. Branscom, are
both reliable and trustworthy men, and we
care not about the result Of that election.
DR.. NJ. s. Mahouey, Payne, ard Reyes, we
class in the lame category, and wish they
could all be elected.
