 No returns have been received from Big Bug nor Sunset, consequently it is presum- ed that no election was held at either of these prhcincts. In fact it was stated some time since, that most of that portion of the Mormon Colony settled at Sunset were at the saw mills in the Mogollon mountains and did not go home to hold ar election, andat Big Bug the papers did not arrive in time to en- able them to hold an election, but remained ia the Postoffice here without being called for, this being the most convenient office to that Camp, and the one through which they receive theil mail. The Board of Canvas sers proceeded to-day to canvass all the re- turns. as far as received, except Little Cobra do, (St. Johns) and Clifton. The Little Colorado returns appeared to be subject to some objection which caused the Board to lay them over for further consideration to- morrow, and in the case of the Clifton vote, q protest having been entered it was also until the resembling of tho Board at 10 A. NJ. tomorrow, when such ob- jections will be heard as may be offered against the admission of these returns.
 We have already stated what we presume to be the principal point relied on to throw out he vote from Clifton viz: the priority of the certificates over the record in the Great Register. but hear there arc still other points relied on, among which is the fact that the voters at that precinct had not paid 8 poll tax within the year. This latt'r point, we should fear might be tender one to touch for fear the same objection might find its way into other precincts, not that we are cognizant of any such illegal voting but the chances are that it may have been done.
 It will be seen by the above count that without counting Clifton and Little Cobra do Hardy has in this county by official count sO4; Oury. 253; and Stevens, 230. Should the votes of these two precincts be allowed and they are as reported it will add l04 to Stevens at Clifton and GA at Little Colorado making total addition of 16S in the county, which would make his vote in his county up to 39S, or nine more than was accredited to him in our estimate ycster- lay. Without these precincts as fa- as leard from, and our information appears to De authentic, Stevens stands in the Territory liter deducting g as shown by the offi"ial 'ount in Pima, and adding in this oun y o former estimates, 9s3, Hardy, ,OG2 Guy, '1S, which would elect Hardy by S7 over | Stevens, but if Little Colorado alone be counted and Clifton left out, then the ma ority for Hardy will be reduced to 23 and | hould they both be counted Stevens major ty will be Sl, while, should Little Colora- To be thrown out and Clifton counted Ste 'ens majority will be reduced to r over Hardly.
