The Board of County Canvassers met again yes terday for the purpose of acting upon the revurns sent down from Westchesier county. Messrs. Flanagan and Angel, rival candidates for civil Justice in Morrisania, and ali the inspectors, were in attendance, and Mr. Flanagan requested a HERALD reporter to say that he was not the gentle- man who a iew days ago examined the protest of his rival, Mr. Angel. The Committee on Protests examined the inspectors, some of whom stated that the returns previously made to the New York coun- ty canvassers were made up after returns had been de in accordance with law Im duplicate to the County Canvassers of Westchester and the respective town clerks. Mr. John A. Henry stated that Mr. Mlanagan, whose seat 1s contested, and Mr. Richard Ciark, induced the inspectors to make out these returns, aud that the official returns were in the hands of the town clerks and super+ visors of Westchester county. ‘The commuttee de- cided not to canvass the ceturns sent in, aud to await the receipt of the ofMlgiai ones irom the chester su and an adjournment was three o’clock 2 M.

The Counsel conciuded by the re~ marks:— “it will be observed that the votes given in both counties for and against annexation, in accord. with section 17, are in terms required to be canvassed in the same manner as votes given for State ollicers, and by law required to be canvassed. and returned.

Angel, con- testing the seatoi Mr. Flanagan for civil justice. He claimed that the election was null and void in that inspectors were not appointed by the authority of tie law governing elec- tions in tle citx and county of New York, that the New York canvassers lave no authority to cali upon the authorities of Westchester jor re- turns, the inspectors had no power to make such returns to this body, and that there was no legal election, John Cochrane appeared for Mr, Angel, arguing that the election was void and there were | no returns to vass. tx-Judge Cardoza ap- | peared for Mr. Flanagan, and, Se corritiy to the opinion of the Corporation Counsel, insisted that. because the inspections had not been conducted un- der the law governing elections in New York | county the voters of Morrisania should not be dis- | franchised, The hearing of the case of Scherman for Assembly, in the Eighth district was. closed by consent, ‘and the committee ade Journed until two P.

He asked the representatives of the company if they would enter into a bond to use no iron but American. Mr. BARNETT Said the company could not do so, and if they did he believed such a bond would not | Stand in law, Mr. MiTcHeLu, the first speaker, asked that em- ployment be given to laborers, and that, if deemed proper, the loan of $2,500,000 be made to the Indus- trial Exhibition Company.
