In tho Firat-Pro- cinct of the Lleventh Ward, the roturns wore made o sgroe with tho tally-list, under the protest of Mr. Ward's frionds. In the Palos roturns the same dofeot sas rome- died, to tho dotriment of Mr Ingalls, In the Third Precinct of the Twolfth Ward, tho judges asked to change threo votes in favor of Kearney, eandidate for tho Logisla~ ture. Tho canvassers not being in possession of tho poll-books, the request was rofused. Tho roturns from tho Third Procinct of the Tenth ‘Ward wore corrcotod, but, aftor all, the precinct gave 244 votes for Ridgoway for Suparintondent of Public Instruction. Sundry otbor corrections moro mado, but nove 4o sltor the rosult as al- ready published. Tho roturns from tho outside towns of the ‘Ihird Congreasional Distriot were the firs to re- coivo tho attention of the Board.

Mr. Swelt had boon employed to asslut him in $ho ovent of contoss, aud ho was unwilling to prooeed in the matterin his absonce, Aftor some diseussion, it wos agroed that the objections should ba Leard in the afiornoon at 2 o'cloelk, Mr. Root promis- ing to bave Mr, Bwott presont at that hour, the precincts objootod to to romain untouehed in tho meautime, The Board subsequeuntly adjourned uutil 3 o'olock. ‘The Board convensd prompily at 4 o'clook, but the attorneys of elthor sida of the coutest wore absout, The Bixteanth Ward was commenced with, and tho Boventeonth was renchod and com- "\ll‘l’xlud in advanco of Judge Trumbull's arrival, on TUE BECOND PRECINCT OF THRE SEVENTEENTI ARD wae reachod, Mr. Root came to his foct with an gb{fcfion similor to that Bled by Judge Trum- ull, .

Ho lind como preparod to prosont hils objeations, and was resdyto do so, Hoe had beon vorbally informod that Mr, Root had somo objoctions, If postponoments wero mado in that way it wss bord to toll whon tho Doard would got through, It he (Reot) had objections to put in bo should prosent thom, s tho othor sido bhad dono, in writlug, in order that it might bo known what thoy woro. 1f tho objoctlona wore of the aasmo charactor as those prosontod op behalf of Mr. LeMoyne, and thoy could agroo about the law, it would roliove tho Board groatly, If tho objectlons wero difforont, ho would jiko to know what thoy wore, Ho pro- forrod going on with the mattor and do- tormining it, supposing tho Board was anxious to closo tho canvass at somo time. As 1o whather they ehould go on now or not, the Doard would of courso dotermine; and if any objoctions soro to be presonted on bohnif of Mr. Farwoll, he thought it but fair to presont thom 2t onco, and not wait until one Bot waa disposod of and then go baok, s that would involve the cousideration of quostions two or threa times. Mr. Root rojoived thot lits side would en- deavor to bo as prompt a8 tho othor sido had boon in wotling ovidoncs. The parties hud come to try the caso ox parte, with afildavits In thoir pockets, and he would have no opportunity to contradict thoaflidavits it tho Board docidod to o uto the question. Mr. Trumbuil said it would bo & new practico that » party, whon ho had flled Lis declaration ond got his proof, should sond tho testimony to the otber sido. Mr, Root claimed timt ho had no ehance to fito countor afiidavits, and bo objected to Folng on and hryln§ the cnae ex parte, taking tho testi- mony and statomenta of tho othor aide. 'Fhio testimony on both siden should bo put in if. for instanco, the Fimt Precinct of the Twentioth Ward was to como up. It waa not fair to pross him to a trisl, when it was admittod that the othor sido hnd filed sho declaration, and had tho proof in their pockets, If tho caso wasto bo triod on affidavits in o sort of town-mooting way, he wanted his *jaw" in. Mr. ‘T-umbull anewered that that was an ox- traordinary statement, Did Mr. Root supposo that the Board had no knowledge of prococd- ings? It would seom 80 in proseuting euch an abaurdity as that whon a {v:rty prosontod his objcations bo must tako his testimony to hia ad- versary, Did auy one ovor boar of sich a thing in a court?

The objec- tious Liad beon stated, and at thoe proper timo the avidence would bo furnisbed. Mr. Root wanted the matter conducted falrly, All he askod was that Mr, Farwoll should not bo triod upon testimony ho know nothing abont, without opportnnity to produco ovidenco. Tho Court could vot undorstand the proceedings wlicn the testimony was in tho pookets of coun- sol. MR, SWETT : said he had seen thoe objoctions for the firet timo just aftor comiug into tho room. Thoy were that cortain_ precincts should bu rejoctod from tho couut by roaton. of certain questions of fact which aroso in rogard to the mauner of con- ducting the olection ; "for instonco,” that the judges of oleotion waro nob quahfid; that “there woro . {rrogularities [ conduct- ing the elaction at ‘corlain places, Ho deaired, In bobalf of.

He iy bolioved, for hia part, the law to bs that tho can- assers woro not judges of cloction, aud that this wasnot a propor placo to contost an election, ‘Tho law had_ wande ample provisions, if thers were irrogulesities or frauds in any procinct, to vitinte tho oleotion, aftor both mdes had had & full hoaring in Court.

Ho supposed the Bonrd way not & propor body 40 juvestigate an sloction con- test ; but be clsimed thoro was s fundamental dofoct that could not bo curod,—an arrognlarity could be cured,—aud if thoro was such a dafect it wag fatal. ‘Chat was the kind of a defoct he should insist oxisted in cortain precingts.

Notices witl soon bo #ont to tho banks, adyising thom of the amouuts charged to their redemp- tiou fund to reimburse the Tronsury for charges for lyansportation and cost of assorting notes. Thio chargea will bo in proportion to tho number of notes redeemed, rather than thoir valuo., The redomption agency, ha thinks, should Lo made a division in the Trensuror's oftico, subject to tha control o ihe Socrotary of tho 'Lreas- ury. Thoere shonld be stringent pro- vigions of law compolling banks to keej aod tholr G-por contutn redemption doposit, and e banke ought to bo allowsd to koop an excess thoreon if desired. An smendmont of Lho law is rocommonded suthorizing an exchange of notea fit for circulation held by the redemption agency for unfit notes held by tha ‘Croasury, which would save double transportation, exponso, and time. Auothor amondment is urged requiring all notes not bearing the charter number on their faces, whon redeomed, to be treated as unfit for circulution snd destroyed. It is nlso rocom- mended thet the Comptrollor of the Cur- roncy, with the concurrence of tho Soore- tary of tho Treasury, bo empowered to appoiut a apecial agont to examine tho affairs of vsuks noglecting to koep.up their & per centum redomption fund, and on his report, it warrauted, to place such banks in the hauds of a Receiver. * With theso amondments, and perbapa an increaso of tho amount to be kept in the Freasury for a redemption fund to 7 per coutum ob the circulation of banks, the nccessity or non- nocessity of which wil be known in time for Congress to act upon it, it is belioved tho law will enable the redemption agouocy to perform 21l tho functions required or oxpreted of it by Congross, the banks, and the peoplo, s NOTES AND NEWS.
