A Protest-Its Results.

We made the statement in our lsst
issue, that two Of the Commissioners OF
Elections had assumed the entire respon-
sibility Of the Bosrd-ignoring the third
party altogether. A protest was imme-
dis,ely forwarded to Gov. SCorr, inform
ing him Of all the facts in the case. We
are happy to announce that the Governor
give the matter his immediate attention,
and has written a communication TO the
Chairman OF the Board warning him Of
his course-and directing the Board to
appoint none but competent persons as
Managers At the several Precincts -
Gov. Scorr says It is his purpose to ad-
minister the laws Of the State upon prin-
ciples Of equity toward all classes, and no
other course pursued by subordrn ates will
be tolerated.
The Managers at this Precinct has been
changed, and now stands as folows:-
John w. Twitty, A. w. Chance and
Wesley Humphreys.
