The Assessors in the three Towns of North,

themselves by putting the figures nearer where

The Troy Daily Times (Rep.): Some
thing should have been done long ago to
remedy the obvious defects in the exist

Thoughtful men for many years. But
Congress could never be induced to take
the matter up seriously until after the
crisis of January, 1877, which led to the
organization OF the famous Electoral
Commission. And then circumstances
were not favorable to dispassi0nate con-
sideration of the subject. 1t is more
than doubtful whether any satisfactory
