Mr Eprroz: A few words will answer this card The proposition to ‘request the judges of elceticn to invite two gentlemen of each of the two parties to be present at the counting of the votes,’’ was made by Mr. Houston, one of their own party, and Mr Fitzpatrick, at the suggestion of hiscolleague, wrote out the resolution. It was passed by a large majori- ty—Mr. Reed, of the Second, Mr. Clarke, of the Sixth, and Mr. Pearson, of the Seventh Wards, voting against it. Now, if these gen- tlemen’s honesty is impugned, it is by their ' own friends; but this is all a miserable ex ouse; and if they, with the other judges in refuse the presonce of one of their opponents at the counting of the bal- lots, then they give good cause for suspicion, and their opp nents are compelled of neces- sity to ask tneir friends to vote openly, so that the tally may be kept outside as a oheck on the j:dges.
