RETURN OF THE ACCUSED CHEF OF POLICE.
In the Hudson County Court Of Oyer and
Tcrnner yesterday at Jersey City, Charles H. Winfield,
Counsel for the Chief Of Police, presented dispatch
from his client stating that he had gone away from Jer
sey City on important business aud that he would re-
turn at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Winfield added
that he was positively assured that the Chief would re-
turn and requested that his bail might not be forfeited
on account OF his absence. Tho Court ruled
adversely however, and the bail was declared forfeited
Shortly aferward telegram was received by Police
Commissioner Ednondson from McWilliams stating that
he was on his way jersey City and would lave been
there before but for unavoidable delay subs quenty
third telegram was received from McWliams request
ing his brother TO meet him at depot in New-York.
These dispatches arc said by OF the Police COmms-
sioners TO be authentic, but the persons who received
them refuse TO give the name or the place from winch
they were sent. -
Last night about o'clock the Chief arrived from New
York City In coach, aud after interview with Com
missioner EdmOndsOn. drove 10 tho County JAN,
surrendered himself and was locked up Com
men, endeavOred to dissuade him from this course but
he persisted in going Jail despite the rcmontance9 OF
the Commissioners who desired that he should remain
quiet until bail could be furnished. Nothing is known
publicly in relation 10 the whereabouis OF the Chlet
during his absence and his bOndsmen refuse 70 disclose
ANYTHING in regard the matter. II is believed how
ever, that tho Chief has not been farther away than
New-York City. An effort will DO made today TO pro

editors make the difference between the two candidates
only 800 or 400 votes allowing the most liberal estimates
for changes in the counties beyond the mountains III
they should give Merimon considerable gains over the
maories gwen Shipp In 1870, and no more important
changes be reported from the counties already heard

not be ascertaned until IL Is officially an-
pounced The excitement the result mas
abated very little to-day. At $3.50 this afternoon
the time when the Western train was expected fat
Salisbury the teeraph-fice here was thronged with
neople anxious 10 hear the news 1t brought The
onerator at Salisbury announced that no returns
had come from the West, and then might have been
heard language forcibe than complimentary about

have been more quiet than yesterday but the anxiety
an both sides has increased the chances Of Cadwes

A carefully compiled table has been prepared showing
the relative strength of both parties In the next Legsa-
