We had quiet, orderly election. Com.
petition for the local Offices was high, and
much earnest work was done by the candi-
dates and their friends, but no bad feeling
was manifested. Az il Is necessary for all

Police JuDGE.-Near the close Of the
exciting race for this Office il was suggest
ed that the election had not been held in
accordance with the Law and that the whole
proceedings were therefore null and void.
Then to preclude the possibility Of having
to hold another election, Squire Carson
put the name Of S. 3. Myers on the regu-
lar poll books and voted for him. Mr..
Rochester, nams was also put on and two
or three votes were polled, Mr.. Myers re-
ceising one majority. We are not sufii-
GENTLY advised on the subject TO express
an opinion which election is valid, but
there are those that believe Mr.. Myers will
receive the Commission. A larger number
Of votes having been cast In the election
than ever before, we understand that in
the event that the election ordered by the
Trustees is valid, Judge Dennis will con.
test the election, believing that he can
throw ont enough Of his opponents votes
to give him the Office. A good many al
Mr.. Rochesler's best friends were led To be-
lieye that he had been urged 10 make the
race as the candidate oftheRepublican par
~. and the fact that its leaders sup
ported him, strengthened the be-
lief, but We are assnred by Mr.. Rochester
aud his friends that he would have
soorned proposal from that party had one
heen made. Judge Dennis has made a
most admirable officer, and We wonld have
been glad tohave seen him retained in Of
fee. but We have no mi-giyings abosl Mr.,
Rochester, for he is In every way compe-
tent to Gil the Office, and is young man
Of undoubled integrity. Had he given
more notice Of his candidacy and had eve
ny one been assured that there Was no trick
about his race, he would, No doubt, have
been elected without the great efforts thai
his friends put firth.

lie was also intoxicated, and imagining
that the bragadocia was intended for him,
began to dispute with MeElroy. Sharp
words followed but the disputants finally
made up and were about to shake hands
and he friends, when McElroy remarked
with an oath that he (P) could not bluff
him, and at the zane time slapped him in
the mouth. They stepped out on the plat
form but were pushed apart by Mr.. Sharp.
McElroy with his right hand in his peck
ct, advanced toward pendleton, who drew
his pistol and shot him through the
right breast. McElroy walked of a few
steps and dropped dead. Pendleton was
subsequently arrested and lodged in Jail,
where he is now awaiting trial. Murder
is becoming exceedingly common in Rock

down an iron heel on thai class Of individ-

grow till Rookcastle's reputation will be as
