A dispatch FROM Washington, of
the 10th inst, says:
A federal election bill, introduced
by Senator Chandler to-day, provides
that whenever any congressional dis
trict ten voters from each country, or
ten voters from each precinct where
the congressional district is one coun-
ty or less, shall make an affidavit
that they believe the election will be
unfair if held by the state officers,
and shall petition the United State
circuit judge to have the registration
of voters and the election conducted
by United States officials, the court
shall be opened as now provided by
law for the appointment of United
States supervisors of elections, and
the court shall appoint all necessary
officers to carry out the prayer Of the
petitioners. Publication shall be made
for four weeks Of the fact that the
congressional election is to be held by
United States officials, and one COM
missioner from each political party
shall be appointed on the recommend
alton Of the candidates for the congress
the court, however, to have the pow
er to require that another person shall
be recommended in place of any per-
son deemed unsuitable. The commits
sioners shall make out registration
books of the voters of each precinct
and each of the commissioners shall
also recommend to the court for APP
pointment one inspector or Judge Of
election and one clerk for each voting
precinct. The inspectors and clerks
may select two bailiffs to keep the
peace, both not to be Of the same po-
litical party; and they shall also hold
the election, publicly announce the
result and make return thereof be-
fore any adjournment to the commits
sioners of election and the commission
ers shall canvass the returns, declare
the result and make consolidated
return to the clerk Of the circuit court.
In case the state law prescribes no
educational qualification for voters,
voters who cannot read or write may
call on the inspector to assist him in
voting. In no case shall there be any
removal of the ballot box or adjourn
ment until the votes are counted and
the returns certified. The clerk of
the court shall publicly convass the
returns within thirty days after the
election, and when the result is ascer-
tanned, two certificates shall be made
out and signed by the Judge and at
tested by the clerk, one to be given to
the person elected and the other to be
sent to the house Of representatives.
