The news of their approaching release
had circulated through the city and con-

When the released prisoners appeared
they were greeted with groans and excla-

with some difficulty that the large force of
police, who had been ordered to the place in
anticipation of disturbance, protected
them from personal violence.
The released prisoners were conducted to

CITY COMMISSIONERS.
The Big Water Pipe Contract Awarded
to the Cincinnati & Newport
Iron and Pipe Company.

A communication calling the attention
OF the Board to the condition of the cul-
vert under Colerain avenue near General
Young's residence, was referred to the En-
sineer.
The Engineer was instructed to prepare
an ordinance for the establishing of the
grade of North Vine street from the Madi-
son Pike west.
John Kaufman asked for permission to
connect his dwelling-house on Vine street,
near Green, with the sewer with an eight
inch pipe. Referred to the Engineer.
The following was adopted:
Resolved, That the action of this Board
of Sept. 26th, 1879, in directing that war
rant issue to Long, Kramer u Kramer to
pay claim of John Ryan & Co., under the
act of June, 1879, be, and the same is here
by rescinded; and the City Auditor is re-
quested to return to this Board the order
issued in pursuance thereof and the clerk
of this Board is hereby directed to cancel
said order. and that he correct the books &C
cordingly."
THE WATER PIPE CONTRACT.
The Engineer of the Water Works sub
mitted the following computation of the
bids for furnishing water pipe accord
ing to the written proposals, and not as to
what Dennis Long intended to bid in re-
gard to curve pipe. The recapitulation is
as follows, which shows that the Cincinnati
and Newport Iron and Pipe Company are the
lowest bidders by 81, 443:
Dennis, Long & Co., $95, 143; Cincinnati
and Newport I. and P. Co., $S7, 200; r. D.
Wood & Co., $l09,7l7.
Upon this computation of the Engineer
being handed in, the Water-works Commit.
tee made the following report
ITO the Board Of City Commissioners: The
Committee on Water Works, to whom was
referred the report Of the Superintendent
on the bids submitted to the Board on the
26th ultmo, beg leave to report that by
their direction the Superintendent ha.
made an additional report herewith
submitted, in which curve pipes
are computed as special castings according
to tie specifications accompanying sale
bids. This report is based upon the writer
proposals submitted by the several bidders
and shows the bid of the Cincinnati anc
Newport Iron and Pipe Company
to be the lowest. Your Committee
therefore recommend that the contract bt
awarded to them, deeming it proper thata
verbal statements in explanation of bid
should be treated as irrelevant, and tina
Only the written propositions shoult
be considered. The first computation
of the Superintendent was base'
upon the verbal statement of one of th
bidders, and we suggest that if the Boar
should admit this as proper basis of cal
culation, when the expenses OF an Inspet

HOW DEMOCRAT WAS COUNTED OUT AND A
REPUBLICAN COUNTED IN-ACTIoN OF THE
MERCER COUNTY IN. J.) BOARD OF CANVASS
ERs-A CONTEST TO FOLLOW.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
TRENTON. Nov. Z, 1879.
There Is much excitement here to-day over the
action of the Mercer County Board Of Canvassers.
who, when canvassng tho returns Of the late cleo
ton throw out the vote of the Northern precinct of
Hopewel township, thereby electing to the House
of Assembly Mayor Robinson. Of Princeton repub-
lcan. instead OF Bayard Stockton, democrat. who
was at first declared elected.
FACTS IN THE CASE.
The facts that the poll list contained 312
names; that the township election officers recorded
237 for Stockton and 80 for Robinson. thus showing
of "a the actual number Of voters.
Mercer Beasley Dr., appeared for Stockton, aud in
sisted that tho election officers should be called upon
to explain the discrepancy, but William L. Dayton
said that that would be going behind the returns.
proceeding which the Board OF Cauvassers had no
legal right to take, and advised the throwing out Of
the township. The Board acquiesced with this ad.
vice. and thereupon declared Robinson elected by
125 majority.
CONTEST TO FOLLOW.
Mr. Stockton intends to contest the seat before the
House OF Assembly. Some republicans are willing
extreme men Of the party oppose 1t. The democrats
are very indignant and their organ o-morrow will
vent its wrath. 1t is also claimed that Pearce (dem-
ocra) elected in the Hghtstown district instead
OF Beekman. because the counting of alleged
double ballot for the latter illegal. and that two
ballots of that description cast for Pearce were
thrown out. Beekman's majority Is put down at
two. Another contest in this case Is threatened.

STILL IN DOUBT.
Nothing Definite Yet as to the Lieutenant
Governor and Other State Officers.
A VERY MIXED ELECTION.

The vexatous problem of the result of the election
still remains unsolved and even Governor elect
Cornell knows not who will form his staff of State
officers. The returns are more meagre than ever,
ominous silence prevailing in many counties
which are strongly republican. Very contradictory
claiming the election of its own State ticket.
The widest and widest discrepancies prevail as
far as party estimates concerned and political
Imagination runs riot in figures. There is nothing
yet to alter the impression that. excepting the
Governor, the entire democratic State ticket IS
elected although wadsworth. the republican candi-
date for Comptroller considerably ahead OF his
ticket in counties. Carr, the republican
nominee for Secretary of State leads the others
in Washington county and shows remarkable
strength in other districts There is no DOUBT
Of the defeat Of Soule and the election OF
Horatio Seymour. Jr., State Engineer Even the
most sanguine republican authorities concede this.
The returns for Treasurer and Attorney General
differ so slightly from those for Lieutenant Gov
ernor that Messrs. Mackin and Schoonmaker
may be regarded in the same light as
Mr. Potter in their chances tor success. Fresh
returns show an increase Of the Kelly voto
throughout the State. and it may now be estimated
at over $4,000. The majorties for Cornell arc
also increasing and will place him moro than 70 900
votes ahead of his democratic competitor 1t is not
unlikely that the official count will be required to
determine the election Of the greater number Of the
State officers.
