The Election passed off very quietly in
South River River District, on last Thurs
day. Except at Fishersville the vote was
quite light, and even there it fell short of
that polled for Congressman last fall. At
his own precinct (Eishersville), which has
heretofore given Fundermajority, Ham
ilton came within seven votes of getting
two to one against Mcfarland. The vote
for Treasurer stood-Hamilton 1873, Nc
Farland rs. At Sherando, where the vote
fell from lag last fall to few over 20 on
the oath inst, Hamilton's vote was more
than double that of Mcfarland. The Re
adjusters held their own and a little more
at Waynesboro and BarterbrOok in this
election, as compared with the fall polling.
They are hopeful of future results.
