Mr.. Mckee had previously withdrawn
from the contest; and the votes that he
received must have been purely COM
plimentary. The result was certified to
the successful candidate, Mr.. Morrow,
by the judges; and being within ten
votes of majority over all, plainly
shows that he is the choice of the Re-
publicans interested, for Post Master
The fact that it is generally admitted
that a contest between Mr.. Morrow and
any other one Of the candidates would
only result in greatly increasing the
majority of the former makes US unwil-
ling to believe the many rumors that
this one and that one are still intending
to push their claims. So far as we are
informed, there is no truth in any of
these reports; and. indeed, we are UNI
willing to believe that either o: the un-
successful candidates would SO stultify
himself as to continue to oppose tie
wishes of the majority, in matter of
this kind, after they have been so I'M
mistakably proclaimed.

Post-Otiicc?
The Post-of1ice war having been ended
by the decisive battle Of last Saturday,
one has time to recall some of the many
laughable things connected Herewith.
The stories told about the various candi-
dates, true and untrue, as to what thew
were, and were saying, doing and think
ing, or what they had been, and had
said, done Or thought would fill vol
umc. One candidate was Canadian,
unnaturalzed; another had said "The
soldier dodge was played out" another
twas mixed up with copperheads;" an
other, said to be the wealthiest in the
lot, was sacrificing his self respect by
begging for the Office on the score that
grim poverty had his skeleton hand on
his throat, by counting his numerous
progeny on his fingers and thumbs, (of
both hands), and tragically fearing that
unless the public teat was placed in bis
mouth, their rations of hash and sup
plies Of pinafores would give out entire
ly;' another, 'lived in the country, and
was MT fit anyhow" another, "need MT
think he had any right to the office be-
cause he had always lived in town." &C.,
&C., ad infnitum.
One Of the candidates met hale old
farmer one day with, "Good Morning,
Mr. -, suppose you will be in to the
Post-Oifice election next Saturday."
swell, declare" was the reply, "you
post-office men will bore me to death
yet" "Why, Mr.. -, I have never
said anything to you before, have Il"
Hum, no! guess not" Nor any of
my friends?" "Well, no, come to
think, I don't know as they have; but
there's that COMPOUNDED -, he's been
at me every day for three weeks"
a candidate was heard to drop the
following remark, drawn from his
experience in electioneering: "You
can't believe any thing a man says,
unless he tells you he wont vote for
YOU and another, after all was over,
couldn't see what men wanted to lie SO
confoundedly for" Indeed, a careful
has calculated that if the
private memoranda kept by each canai-
date of his supposed adherents, were
united, counting each name thereon as
an individual voter, they would have
shown at least ISL electors, instead of
the 2s3 who appeared at the polls.
