The presidential election has come
and gone and now the returns of the
votes polled at the election are coming
in very freely to the secretary OF
States office The towns which have
not been heard from are Mapleton,
Casco Mt Vernon, Hope, Andover,
Brownfield, Greenfield. Orono, Gull

Lyman. The plantations which have
not attended to their duty are Conner,
Hamlin, St Francis, st. John, Walla-

county, Perkins in Franklin and Long
island in Hancock.
According to law the returns must be
forwarded to the office of the secretary
of State. signed by the mayor alder
men and clerk of cities. selectmen and
clerk of towns and assessors and clerks
of plantations.
The returns will be opened at the
next session Of the executive council
and referred to the committee on cleo
tons, which consists Of Councillors
Holman, Clason and Shepherd. This
committee will make its report at the
following meeting of the council.
The number Of defective ballots at
the election WAS not near as large as in
September. It is estimated that 1000
ballots were thrown away at the No
vember election because they We're moi
properly marked, while in September.
$500 defective ballots We're east
throughout the State. The reason for
the decrease can be laid to two causes.
In the first place. it was a very simple
matter for even the most illiterate per-
son to mark his ballot, the squares and
names being placed in such a compre-
hensive manner.
Then again, the voters are becoming

mated that two years from now there
will not be over 500 defective ballots
cast in the whole State at the guber-
Material election.
II is not always the illiterate person
that marks his ballot wrongly. In &
majority of the cases. ii is the man
that knows it all that on election day,
saunters up to the polls with an indie
pendent air and deposits his ballot.
half of the time not taking the trouble
to see in what square he has made his
mark. The illiterate man will, if he
does not know what to do. ask the cleo
ton clerk for information, and will
vote in such a way that his ballot will
count while that of the man that
knows it all will not.
In ward one, Augusta, last Tuesday,
nine men wished to vote for Palmer
and Buckner, the national Democratic
candidates. The votes of seven counted
while two were thrown out, simply be-
cause the mark was not made in the
square above the names but placed in
the square with the names. One man
voted for every candidate while an
other ballot turned up without a
scratch or mark of any kind on it.
A voter can't be too careful on cleo
ton day.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Hills bill to remove the restrictions
against the appointment as officers of
the army or navy of persons who held
commissions in the army or navy be-
fore the rebellion, and who subse-
quently took part in the war on the
side of the Confederacy, which passed
the Senate during the height of the
excitement over the Venezuela bound
airy question, passed the House yester-
day, after two hours debate, with but
one dissenting vote-that of Mr.. Bou-
telle of Maine
The Democrats, except Mr.. Cum
mings of New York, who spoke, as he
said, las one of 500, 900 Democrats
who fought in the Union army and
Mr.. Wilson of South Carolina, who
was drawn into the debate by. Mr..
Boutelle, refrained entirely from par
tlcipation. Mr.. Hull of Iowa, chair
man of the military committee, who
had charge of the bill. admitted it
would subserve no practical pur-
pose, and was largely sentimental
Mr.. Boutelle, who led the opposition,
single-handed, thought it would furn
ish a bad object lesson for naval
and military candidates who were
bout entering on careers in the SER
vice of their country, and when he got
warmed up to his subject, called at
tent1on to the fact that many Southern
men in Congress in the past had
obstructed legislation in the interest
of Union soldiers, dwelling particular
ly on the opposition to the retirement
of General Grant. Mr. Grosvenor of
Ohio and Mr.. Grow of Pennsylvania,
however, supported the bill ardently
as graceful and gracious act to the
vanquished. and when the vote was
taken Mr.. Boutell alone voted against
its passage.
The bill to abolish the death penalty
in certain cases was passed Bills
were also passed to make the sale of
spirituous liquors under false brand
punishable by fine and imprisonment,
to turn over the property of the Nor
mon church. now in the hands of a
receiver, to the trustees, and several
others of minor Importance.
