CLINTON, Aug. 7th, 1874.
EDITORS CHRONICLE Our count
election is over. Politics were eschewe
in most of the contests. Judge Youn
was supported by all parties. His ma
jority signifies nothing except conf
dence on the part of the people. N
II. Adkins, Esq, received the large'
vote OF any candidate in the field, ruI
ming ahead of Judge Young. Adkin
is most probably elected, as Youn
most certainly Is, az he woul
be as strong in the west as |
the east end of the circuit. Our 0unt
officers were elected without muc
reference to politics, except that part
lines were drawn in the Trustees an
Tax Collectors races. Hicks, Repub
lican, WAS elected Tax Collector undt
we're Democratic opposition. Moor
was elected Trustee under similar ci
cumstances. Their majoritles are pre-
ty large-about the old Republica
vote. Everything passed Off 9uietl
till after night, when Richly kincai
provoked q quarrel, committed an a
sault, and got badly whipped.
