THE ELECTION IN WILLIAMSON
COUNTY.

To the Editor Of the Union and American:
TRIUNE, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Tenn,
Aug. /, 18T2.-The election for county Off
GERS and Judges for the Supreme Court and
Criminal Court is just over. The largest
vote that was ever given at this precinct
was polled to-aays
For Supreme Judge-McFa rland 1853.
Cooke Is votes.
Fer Criminal Judge-McLemore 159,
Jones 8, Hughes &c.
For Sherif-Lavender 1T, Bingham IS,
Nevis IA.
For Tax Observation-Disclosures 1S2, Nc
Call %, Ridley IA.
For County Trustee-Tucker III, Swee-
ney 40.
For Constable was the exciting race
Putnam 113, Bostick 106.
From straWs we frequently learn which
way the wind is blowing, and from the
signs, as all the candidates that were in ia
Vor of Greeley and Brown received over
whelming msjorities-not a single vote was
given for any candidate who was in favor
OF Grant and Wilson that we have heard of
in this county-therefore. if any one de-
sires to be elected to an Office in this coun-
ty, be must be against Grant and Wilson,
Vi VIII UO OCACdICQ HO- has Oh OppO-
nent in favor of Greeley and Brown. A
If the people will turn out this fall and
90 TO the election as they have done to-day,
to make choice of a constable for the
Triune dis riot, Greeley and Brown will re-
ceive the largest vote that was ever polled
in this section of country for President and
Vice President. E - -F
Now, if so unimportant an officer as con-
stable can bring out to the polls full vote,
can you not suggest some plan by which
similar interest can be created so as to have
full vote III November for. electors for
President and Vice President?
Summers letter to the colored people is
very favorable to Greeley, and if they could
themselves read and appreciate the logic, it
would tell against Grant, and it would be
well for honest men, in whom the colOred
people may have confidence, to read it to
them. AGRIC0LA.

singular Detormity.

A few days ago young man, coming, as
he says, from Pennsylvania, arrived here,
and has since been about the city askiI g
aims on account of physical deformities,
which unfit him for work by which he
might earn living. His feet resemble the
claws Of All sulrnsl, having on each two
long toes very wide apart. His hands have
a similar formation, the finget5 on each be-
ing SO remote from each other as to prevent
them from being closed together in the
hand. His deformity is of most remark
able nature, being the first instance of the
kind ever witnessed here.
