Good idea,

St. Louis has adopted a system of
counting the votes every hour and announc-
ing the result. 1t is a great check on
fraudulent returns, aud greatly facilitates
early news of the result. All that is nec-
essary is to have two sets of boxes and two
extra men to count, and each hour pass a
box back to the counters and 90 on voting
in another box. The Republican, speaking
of the new system, says:
1.-THE returns were all in early, and i
was shown that the hourly announcement
of the number of votes cast was an effect

have heretofore been noticeable on thu
