CALCUTTA, Oct 22.-The contingents Of
the Indian army from Madras and this city
are being rapidly transported to Rangoon,
where the expeditionary force is being as.
sembed for the invasion Of Burmah. The
Burmese government is actively preparing to
resist the advance of the British troops. En-

works, planting torpedoes, building fire RATS

The Ohio Election .

CINCINNATI, o. Oct. 22.-The canvass Of
the vote of Hamilton county was completed
this morning, and the total footings (unofi'
caD excluding precinct E, of the 18th ward,
show that Hoadly received "a ,527 votes, and
Foraker SO, 92S, majority of599 for Hoadly.
The highest vote received by q republican
senator was SO less than the lowest on the
democratic list, and 270 less than the high
est.
The vote for representatives is still closer,
but the footings have not been completed.
The democratic county officers are elected
with the exception of Kuhl for commission
or. If the missing precinct is counted it
will increase the democratic majority about
100. An exciting legal fight is now in prog
ress.
Republican attorneys this morning filed q
petition in the Circuit Court asking for q
mandamus directing its officer, the clerk,
| how to proceed with the count, by instruct
ing him what are and what are not legal
returns. A hearing on this petition was
| fixed for two o'clock. In the meantime,
if the restraining order issued last night
should be dissolved, the clerk might
complete his work before 2 o'clock and the
Jurisdiction of the court would be gone.
After considerable talk the argument before
Judge Buchwaiter upon the motion todisolve
the restraining order and also upon the de-
murrer to the petition was proceeded with 1t
is expected that the argument will occupy the
time until 2 o'clock, when the mandamus
proceeding will operate to hold the clerk
until the matter can be determined.

OORDER.

We understand there was a candy
pulling given the children of the COM
munity and some of Corder, at the
residence of Boswell Starks, Esq. You
may know they had a good time.
There has been a prOtracted meeting
in progress at the Hit schoolhouse, on
the Dover and Waverly road, for the
past four or five weeks; conducted by
| Rev. Mr.. Cobb. 1t is said there were
about sixty professions.
According to the announcement in
your paper of last week, on Wednes-
day the 9th inst, at the residence of
the BRIDES father, Capt. w. N. Saund-
ers, ST., in the presence of about one
hundred witnesses, by a solemn and
impressive ceremony pronounced by
Rev. Lamar B~sdsworth, Mr.. T. B.
GOWN and Miss Mollie M. Saunders
were united in the holy bonds of mat
rimcpy. The groom is a finely educat-
ed Englishman Of commanding ap-
pearance and we'll fitted to fight
the battles OF life and to provide
| for the happiness of her whom he has
vowed TO love, cherish and protect.
The bride, the last single daughter of
Capt. Saunders, a most beautiful blonde,
attired in a f~awn-colOred silk was
greatly admired by all. And from a
short conversation we We're permitted
to enjoy with her, we are convinced
that she is not only lovely but has a
just appreciation of the responsibilities
of a married life. The attendants were
Misses Mamie Lewis and MOllie Will
son, and Messrs. 5. and w. N. Saun-
ders, Jr., brothers of the BRIDE. The
bridesmaids, the most beautiful and
accomplished young ladies of the com
munity, robed in brown silks, were
well suited to stand by the lovely bride
at so important a moment. After re-
ceiving the congratulations of friends
they led the way to q table that was
loaded with all that Is calculated to
satisfy the appitite of man. We v
attended a wedding where there was a
scarcity of provisions, but we at
tended one where there was such a
superabundance as this one. And this
was not because of a failure of those
present to do justice to that which was
placed before them. Many valuable
presents were given. At a late hour
the company took their departure,
wishing the groom and bride a long,
prosperous and happy life. On Friday
the 18th inst, there was a reception
gwen them at the residence of John
Willis, ESQ.,, whose wife is a cousin of
the groom, on the night of the 10th
inst. W.

unnatural discomfort that no adequate
provision has been made for accommo'
dating the principal library of the gov
OF the vast collection of books
and pamphlets gathered at the capital,
numbering some 0 10000 volumes, ex-
elusive of manuscripts, maps, n the
products of the graphic arts, OF great
volume and value. Only 70 ooO,-
600 volumes, of less than half the col

The others, which are increasing at the
rate of from $4,000 to 10000 volumes a
year are not only inaccessible to the
public but are subject to serious
damage and deterioration from other
causes in their present situation.
Consideration OF the fact that the
library of the capitol has twice been

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.
The present condition of the law re-
lating to the successor to the preslden-
cy IN the event OF the death, disability
or removal of both the president and
vice-president, is such as to require
amendment. This subject has repeat
eddy been considered by congress, but
no result has been reached. The re-
cen lamentable death of the vice.
president and vacancies at h same
time in all other offices, the incumbents
OF which might Immediately exercise
the functions of the presidential Office,
has caused public anxiety and a just
demand that a reOccurrence OF such a
condition of affairs should not be per-
mitted.
In conclusion l commend to the wise
care and thoughtful consideration of
Congress the needs, welfare and aspira-
tions of an intelligent and generous
nation. To subordinate these to the
narrow advantages OF partisanship for
the accomplishment of selfish aims is
to violate the peoples trust and betray
the peoples interest, but an individual
sense of responsibility OH the part of
each of us. and a stern determination to
perform our duty we'll, must give us
place among those who have added in
their day and generation to the glory
and prosperity of our beloved land.
