The Commissioners OF Election IN Prince
George met at the courthouse yesterday
and counted the vote OF the county. Oh
lection had been made ut the previous meet
ing # the Board to receiving the returns
from Bland and Brandon districts by rea.
son of certain iniormalities. In Brandon,
the Justice who swore in the judges and
clerks bnd failed TO certify the fact. In
Bland, the judges and clerks were sworn,
but bad neg iected to sign the oath on the
poi-book. The Board, by vote OF three
ayrs 10 two noes in each case, decided 10
allow these errors TO be corrected, and then,
l,y the same vote, received the returns
thus giving the election to the Bate ticket.
The spring term OF the Circuit Court OF
Petersburg commences tomorrow. The

several cases of interest removed here from
some OF the counties in the district.
Federal Memorial-dayi( Tomorrow WILDE
observed here by closing the Government
buildings. The visitors to the national
cemeteries to decorate the graves OF the
Uuion dead will be few. A single rose or
flower or spriS Of evergreen Will probably
be ali that many OF the graves will receive.
1t is believed that many OF ourpeople would
contribute flowers and perhaps assist In the
decoration il the matter were properly man
aged. Hundreds of them visited Poplar
Grove Cemetery last year, when formal cere-
monies bad been arranged.
Mr.. William j. Malone, wel!-known
tobacconist OF this city, was married last
night to Miss Susie Moody.
A magisteria commission yesterday and
to-day relieved our Jail OF three prisoners
who had been confined there US iunatics.
Two of them had so much improved that 1t
was deemed safe TO discharge them. A
third was ordered to be transferred to
Prince George. and fourth was directed
to be sent to Howard Grove asylum.
