the legislature and levy court as sheriffs
and coroners, by ballot in the different
hundreds. But as the cursed rules were
tackled on, the whole was voted down in
August 1876. Now, in conclusion demo-
cratic voters have a fair election on Sat
day for the nomination for sheriff and
coroner; they are all good men. L can
and will vote for any Of them who may
b nominated; but mind that enemies of
ballots are hoping you may make such q
fraudulent nomination that they can use
1t as an argument to break down the bal
lot system and reinstate the old
aristocratic delegate system again.

MARIlN FARRELL UNCEREMoNIoUSLY
BOUNCED AND HENRY p. GRUBB
AWARDED THE SEAT.
Great interest was felt in the adjourn
ed meeting of the Board of Education
last evening, and as many persons as
could find accommodations crowded into
the little space left for spectators in the
meeting room of the Board. The object
of the meeting was to hear the report of
the committee on the Grubb- Farrell
Ninth Ward contest.
President Eckel, before the report of
the case was submitted, read to the Board
a statement of the case, carefully prepar-
ed from the minutes.
Col. Grimshaw Inquired if this state
ment was the report of the committee.
The chair answered in the negative;
that it was plain statement of the case
which he had prepared at the request of
some of the members, so that the reading
of the minutes need not be called for
during the consideration of the commit
tees report.
Col. Grimshaw-The members of this
Board should make themselves familiar
with the minutes, without having lee
ture read to them by the chair.
In rising to offer the report of the spec
ial committee Col. Heisler, stated that
the item in the Erery Erening and Com
mercidt, several days ago, to the effect
that the labors of the committee were fin
ished, was entirely untrue, as the commit
tee were not done until within few
minutes of the meeting. lie then read
the following as the committees report:
The special committee to whom was
referred certain additional documents
and affimations respecting the contested
election in the Ninth Ward, report that
they have given the subject most thor
ough examination, and are thereby ena-
bled to present the following facts to the
Board:
of the 1866 votes polled at the election
on the 4th of May last, "a were illegal and
therefore void, and of the remaining, u
legal votes were polled. On examination
we find that 43 votes were cast for Hen
rV p Gruhb aS follnws.

Jno. Palmer.
Each and every one of the gentlemen
whose names are herein given have made
affidavit in their own proper persons be-
fore John G. Cole, Esq, Justice of the
Peace, that they did each and every one
of them vote for Henry p. Grubb, for
member of the Board of Education for
two years, at the election held in the
Ninth Ward on Saturday, May 4th, and
that they were at that time legal voters
of the Ward. Copies of the affidavits
respectively are herewith submitted.
In view of the proven fact, therefore,
that but 70 legal votes were polled, and
that Henry L. Grubb received 43 legal
votes, being a clear majority of the
whole number of legal votes cast, your
committee respectfully recommend the
adoption of the following resolution:
Resoiued, That this Board, in conformi.
ty to law, do hereby declare the said
Henry p. Grubb to be duly and lawfully
elected to membership in the Board from
the Ninth Ward, and that he be sworn
into his office as such, in lieu of Martin
Farrell, present occupant, whose right
thereto is hereby declared null and void
for the reasons herein set forth.

Committee.
Col. Heisler moved that the report be
adopted, and the ensuing discussion
hinged upon the discrepancy between
the number of legal votes polled accord
ing to the above report az and accord
laS l7S. to the previous committees report
Col. Heisler stated that the last com
mittee had discovered seven voters who
were qualified by the payment of city
tax, but had not paid their county tax
whereas the law requires voters at 9
school election to not only have paid 8
school tax, but to be otherwise qualified
to vote at all other elections.
Discussion on this question was de-
clared out of order by the chair as moi
being germane to the question before the
Board, THE motion to adopt the report
Mr.. Farrell took exception to the name
of II. j. West, in the committees report
who, he said, had no county poll tax re
ceipt Also to the name of 8. Chadwick
who, he said, owed his city tax for two
years he paid for one year, but while ht
was credited on the books for the tax OF
1876, he very conveniently received a re
ceipt for the tax of 1877.
Col. Heisler presented Mr. Vests coun
ty tax receipt and his affidavit; also Mr.
Chadwick's city tax receipt for 1878. The
chair stated that these were before the
Board as accredited evidence, unless con
troverted.
Mr.. Pyle stated that Tax Collector Pro
vost had informed the previous commit
tee that Chadwick had paid his tax fol
1876, but by clerical error received {
receipt for 1877.
Mr.. Lally corroborated this state
ment.
Col. Heisler considered Mr.. Chadwick
receipt bona file evidence of his right t.
vote.
Mr.. Farrell said he did not impugnMr
| Chadwick's motives in voting, but whei
the committee counted him among .th'

TERRIBLE NIGHT.-Once when n bash

known her day; she seemed divine; |

first half hour she said: ..Whv do Won

the time those are only irrelevant an

end OF another half hour she said: please
why do you grin so steadily at vacancy,
anu yet look SO sad?'' explained that
always did that when was rejecting.
An hour passed and then she turned and
contemplated me with her earnest ewes
and said, " Why do you cry all the time P"
explained that very funny comedies al
ways made me cry. At last human nature
surrendered, and | secretly slipped my
boots oil. This was mistake. | was not
aole TO get them on any more. 1t was n
RAINY night; there was no omnibus going
our way; and | walked home, burning up
with shame, with the girl on one arm and
my boots under the other, was an object
worthy OF compassion, especially in those
moments of martyrdom, when | had to
pass through the glare that fell upon the
pavement from the street lamps.
Finally, this child of the forest said:
" Where are your boots ?" and, being taken
unprepared, put II finishing touch to the
iollles of the evening with the stupid re-
mark: The higher classes do not wear
them to the theatre. Dr. Warner.
