MARLBORO.
Our correspondent writes as follows:
The election for district officers under the
new regime has passed without disturbance Of
any kind. His Honor, T. ". Allen, District
Judge, was nominated for the Office OF Pro-
bate Judge at q meeting which may be called q
'tJohnsonian Chaseiten nominating club, the
object OF which was to reconcile the conflicting
elements to give and take, which gave, but did
not receive. The new officers are all members
Of fthe League. Judge Allen, by his impartial
decisions, sobriety, and even disposition, has
skirmished even within the Radical camp with
no little success: You will observe he is only
beaten by forty votes. His want OF success is
owing altogether to the white registered voters
who failed to attend the polls, yielding too
freely to the fears Of defeat. There were more
blacks votes given to Judge Allen than white
ones. Who is to blame The blacks have
done their duty well, and they only want
another opportunity to show that they begin to
think for themselves in the discharge Of their
