State census Just completed are the figures
showing the number of legal and quail
fled voters in the State. The census was
taken in June, and the result shows the
total number of electors at that time to be

still larger in November, as the natural
increase is steady and constant; and yet
the total number of votes cast at the No
vember election was but 775 ,456. 1t thus
appears that at least 1862, 1867 voters, or
very nearly one-third the total voting pop
ulation of the State, did not cast their bal
lots at all at that election.
