THE WAR.
We have a continuation to , day of the highly
gratifying news from Kentucky, which began with
Ductile famous march to Louisville. Lexington,
having been abandoned on Sunday last by the re
doubtable Humphrey Marshall, who is wisely en
deavoring to got out of the State by the shortest
possible path, was occupied by our troops yesterday.
Kirby Smith is likeivise moving towards the more
-congenial soil of Tennessee, retreating, as the tele
graph informs us, towards Cumberland Gap, via
Manchester. As he, left Harrodsburg on Friday
last, he has had a week's wearisome march before
; and there is some prospect that he may be
trapped in spite of his energetic pedestrianism, for
the hardy and patriotic mountaineers of the south
eaatern portion of the State are obstructing the only
path of escape left him, by felling trees and de
stroying bridges. And finally, Braxton Bragg, him
gelf, is on the move. We thought Bragg wmid
certainly make a stand against Gen. Buell, at Camp
Dick Robinson. Probably Bragg, himself, thought so
till the hos' moment. The position is eminently favor
able for defence. Its natural and artiflobil strength
is worth 30,000 men. But Bragg has retreated from
Camp Dick Robinson. Be has fled before BuelPs
approach. He, probably , reflected thati if a single
corps of Federal troops could withstand his whole
host an entire day, as at Perryville, and win the
vio'ory too,- he would have precious little chance in
ancounteringßuelPs whole force,even with the great
advantagesoffered by his position. We ask no bet
ter evidence than this of the demoralization of his
army. It is highly probable tkat he has not only
abandoned the strongest position he could have
held in Kentucky, but has likeivise left behind
him much of his commissary stores. T,_e Kentucky
campaign may be regarded as closed: We may
have another battle, but the result cannot jeopard-
Ire the State.
More than a month ago, the Memphis correspon
dent of the Chicago Times startled the country with
the announcement that doyen ironclad war vessels
had arrived in,Mobile harbor from England. Was
the announcement altogether fabricated, or was it
simply premature by a few weeks? We now have
substantially the same story by way of Ha
vana, the steamer having arrived at I1 • 'ow
`York at half past one o'clock this morning.
In the interval, however, rumor has increased the
fleet to thirteen vessels. Of course there is not a
word of truth in either story; but their coincidence
is rather singular.
THE NEWS.
General James, the inventor of the terrible pro
jectile wbieh bears his name, is dead. The tele
graph gives us a brief mention of the fact, and
Zotbing more. The oircumstaoces of his death
were these : During a trial of the missile, at Sag
Barber, L. L, on Thursday last, in the presence of
tome French and Russian officers of artillery, and
a number of the citizens, a shell exploded, through
carelessness, instantly killing ono man, and wound
ing Gen. James, Creas Berger, a French officer, and
others. It was not then supposed that Gen. James'
round was mortal, and the sad sequel will startle
as well as grieve the community. The honored
demand was in" the fifty-eight year of his age.
He was not a graduate of West Point, nor did he
bold any rank in the United States Army, the title
Lc general " being accorded to him by , the press
and public as a token of regard, and of apprecia
tion of his inventive skill. Daring a great portion
of his honored and useful career, he resided in
,Ithode. Island, of which State, we believe, he was
a native. Use name been so identified with Um_
inventive .progress of our country, especially — in
the department of, ordnance...di /ow - win- lay
keenly' felt, as his memory will long be cherished.
EavairrattusG correspondence from Camp Ala
bama, Baltimore, and Wasbington, appears on, our
first page. The latter contains an amusing disser
:Wien on a morel subject, which will commend
itself to those who tire of reading political spdeches,
election returns, and accounts of sieges and battles:
Our Baltimore letter contains " A Secesti View of
the Pennsylvania Eleotion "—a subject fruitful and
important enough to monopolize a column to itself.
ANYTHING from the South is interesting. Some
of this " foreign " news we print to•day.. If flour
cannot be bad for less than ;12 per barrel in
Georgia, and ~T 52 in Mississippi, now, just after the
wheat harvest, what will be the condition of things
in those States, and other Southern States, during
the nest twelvemonths, supposing the rebellion to
continue? Can any one think that the rights of
property will be respected at all ? Will not rob
bery and anarchy run wild through the land?
IT WOULD be difficult to fiad a more touching
letter than that written by Cul. Thornton, to his
wife, on the eve of his death. His leiter to his
brother, which was published some weeks since,
created much sensation, and elicited a reply from
General McDowell.
The F,leetion
Wepresent the most accurate tables of the
returns, official and unofficial, of the late elec
tion in this State, received up to 4 o'clock A.
N. We are fixed in the opinien that we have
the Legislature on joint ballot, giving the Op
.
positron all they claim. On the popular vote
the Union party will have a very decided ma
jority, unless Tioga, Bradford, Susquehanna,
Crawford, and other Bepublie,an counties have
fallen off in their vote, ovling to the enormous
preponderance of Republigans they have sent
to the war. York and Barks, likeNerthampton
and Lehigh, kept their Democrats at home, to
vote against the Administration. The result;
SIB it stands, is a great Union victory.
The Coming Vongreseional Elections.
are glad
'We are glad to perceive that the New York
Tritrune insists with characteristic courage
that war Democrats, wherever they are found
willing to cut lobse from the Breckinridgo
organization . , should be put forward for im
portant representative position& Generals
JOHN COCHRANE and DANIEL E. Smut's are
already in' the field in opposition to certain
co-called Democrats in .two of the Congres-
Sional districts of New York city, and Gene
lal,ConconAs, though declining to run against
FERNANDO WOOD in the Fifth district, says
that it is of vital importance that a war Demo
crat be elected to represent the district This
theFrue policy. Experience has shown that
every Demborat earnestly in favor of the war
its honestly a supporter of the Administration.
In the States which have yet to elect to the
popular branch of the new Congress, constant
vigilance is required to save it. Our Eastern
zeigbbor, New Jersey, has an important work
to accomplish. If we read the signs aright,
ishe ought to elect WARD over. PARKER, al
though the latter wears the Douglas cloak to,
hide his association with the Breckinridgers.
We have groat hopes of a triumph:in
demandthe,Cam-
Trenton :Congressional districts, and
trust that PERRY may be defeated in the Newark
district. It the true Douglas men do- their
duty in New Jersey, we shall, at least, be no
Weaker in the coining than we are in the pre
sent Congress. The free Northwest has in its
hands the decision of the majority of the next
Congress, and if the people are aroused to
their duty We do not doubt"that the loyal men
will control that body. In this remark we take
it for granted that the State of New York will
not allow itself to be wheedled out of its po
tential representation in the present Congress.
Soldiers' Belief Aesociation.
In the hurry of the election we bad no time
to invite special attention to the very fall and
clear reports of the operations of the Penn
sylvania Soldiers' Relief Association of Wash
ington City, as they appeared in a late number
tot' THE PRESS. They cover a period of three
months—the whole time since the fuundation
s:f the association—and exhibit the association
in such a light as to inspire confidence in it,
and insure yet ample donations in both money
and goods as its wants and the sphere of its
nsefuktess continue to increase and expand.
Goods placed in its care are conveyed directly
to the sick and needy soldier. Many of the
^worthiest women of Washington and George
town are its agents and almoners. The mem
bers of the association personally visit the
hospitals and there distribute what is sent the
association.: The facts contained in the re
ports are the best appeals for farther dona
tions which could be laid before the corn
inanity.
GonrAfixn with Ohio and Indiana, the vote
of ,Pennsylvania on Tuesday last entitles her
to the thanks of all the true friends of the
Government. In this State, the chief leaders
of the movement which disrupted the Demo
cratic party reside, and here they labored
most industriously and 'recklessly;'and, al
though our majority has not heen as large as
we expected it, to be, it is sufficient to show
that our people are right, and will never de
bet t their country. Ay.
The Episcopal Convention
We have watched with great interest the
progress of the debate iu the Episcopal Con
vention, now assembled at•ffew , Yorli r The
deliberations of this reverend body tire always
of national importance, and now more p trtieu
larly, as it assembles in the midst of a-civil
war. Episcopacy has always maintained ameog
its ecelesiaslical compeers a lofty pride that
forbids association or sympathy with any
other denomination. The hesitation and
manifest distaste with which it.approaelnatif . tha'
question of loyalty may seem strange to those
accustomed, like' ourselves, to proclaim . our
loyalty at all times and with all necessary en
thusiasm; but 'they will not seem strange when
seen in an Episcopal Convention. When men
withdraw themselves from the world, it is to
be supposed that they withdraw themselves
from the trials, sorrows, feuds, and excite
ments of the world. Within the sacred
circle of the holy church, the contentions, of
arinies, the roar of cannon, the 'clamor 'of
battle, the 'quarrel of the. politician, and the
trouble of the statesman, are never supposed
to come. Whig and Tory, Democrat and Re
publican, master and servant, may kneel at
the same altar, eat the same bread, drink the
same wino, and accept the same holy bene
diction. The harmony of their religious feel
ing and ceremony is a beautiful thing, and it
is not without a 'degree of awe that we reflect
that the same words rise to the throne of God
from a million of hearts for the sick and the
wounded, the sinful and the dying, and all
those in authority; and that the solemn power
of the priesthood comes to them through
every mutation of time and history, surviving
war, revolution, chaos, and death, even from
thc hands of the Son of God. They have a history
as ancient as that of our race, and a liturgy as
old as the apostolic 'age In England, Episco
pacy has survived .the apostacy and perSeca
tion of Kings, the open enmity of JAMES, and
the demoralizing and deceitful friendship of,
CRARLES, until now the beautiful words of her
service mingle with the devotions, the vows,
and the dying moments of the• royal family,
and its hierarchy are the peers of noblemen
in the House of Lords. In Republican Ame
rica Episcopacy has been as fortunate as in
Monarchical England. Partisanship has made
sad work with many of our most powerful and
widely-extended ecclesiastical denominations.
Ministers of God, debarred from any participa 7
tion in active political life turned the Conven
ben, the General Assembly, the Conference,
and the Association into clubs for political de
bate, and interspersed eclesiasticat legislation
with political vituperation. The schiainsand
schools that hate arisen in many of these
organizations show the baneful effect of this
spirit. Episcopacy was spared' these trials an
til the question becarne one of loyalty to the
Union. •
That many reverend gentlemen should hesi
tate in making their loyalty a matter of eccle
siastical doubt is to .us a matter of surprise.
We did not ask the Episcopal Church for an
endorsement of the war. It was indeed a
matter of little moment whether she considered
our cause right or wrong. The question was
purely ecclesiastical. The Convention met and
found a state of facts existing which could not
be overlooked. A large number of her priests
some of her wealthiest congregations and
many dioceses had violently severed them
selves from her communion, and dilobeyed
her canons by recognizing a usurper and a
rebel as one in authority for whom the prayers
of God were to be invoked. A Bishop of her
church was in the field as a general of a rebel
army. Every Bishop in the seceded States
bad not only almost from the first taken part
in the rebellion, but encouraged the people to
perjury and sedidon. A newly chosen Bishop of
Alabama was a captain of a company of rebel
dragoons. Bishop Jonas reports the dying
words of Bishop MEAD in language of horror.
We had no singlevidenceof.axy loyal
festa.tion _among their. Southern dioceses or
congregations. They had broken the oath of
consecration—" In the name of God, Amen !"
These are the solemn words of the vow :
tg I, N., chosen Bishop of the Protes
tant > Episcopal Church in N, do pro
raise conformity and obedience to the doc
trine, discipline, and worship of the Pro
testant Episcopal Church of the United States
of America, so help me God, through Jesus
Christ." Here was a plain case. It might
even have satisfied Dr. RAMICS or Mr. WINI
manor. All of these Bishops = Bishop
General Pow included—had sworn by the
most sacred oath that can appeal to the
heart of the Christian to give obedience to
tbe discipline of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States, and yet they
had broken the oath and defied the authority
imposing it. If AiS oath, they service, the
integrity of the chuh, the holy nature of the
priesthood, meant anything in the eyes of an
Episcopal Convention, we can very easily see
to what decision the members of that Con
vention would arrive. They had simply to
reaffirm the integrity of their church and
punish those who had disregarded it.
Episcopacy might have done a noble deed—.
but she preferred the humiliation prescribed
by Dr. MEAD, Mr. Hum, and Judge CONYKG
HAM. The members of that Church will be
pained by the vapid phraseology of their Con
vention's resolution& We have tears and
hopes and protestations, the rhetoric of insin
cere politicians mingling with the prayers
of insincere clivines. Loyal men every when
of the Episcopal communion will regret that
their Convention did not speak as became the
representatives of a proud ecclesiastical de
nomination, and the citizens of the United
States. Bishop Panx is a traitor in the eyes
of everyman. He has murdered our brothers,
Episcopalians and all; he has thrown off
his priestly robes and taken the uniform
of a rebel officer; he has treated this National
Convention with the same disrespect and per
fidy that he has manifested towards the coun
try. There . is not a member of the Con
vention that doubts this fact, and yet
the COnvention refrains, "in a spirit of
Christian forbearan9, from employing
towards him any term of condemnation or
reproach." This is the judgment of Episco.
paey on the great rebellion, and it seems very
much as if the judgment had been prepared
more as an encouragement to the rebellious
Episcopalians in the South than as the fair
expression of the opinions, of Episcopalians
in the North. It is not what we expected
certainly not what we had a right to ex
pect. Episcopacy may express those senti
ments, but we do not believe they represent
the wishes of the people, and when they
come to elect another Convention they will
show that our confidence is not bestowed in
vain.
Return Judges
We are ashamed of many of the exhibitions
of our Boards of Return judges. The provi
sion of the law that creates this office is a wise
one. It is intended to simplify the method of
ascertaining the result of the elective fran
chise, to, give an offieial expression of
the will of the people. These officers
have merely the duties of clerks to perform
—they count and record. It is a sacred
duty almost as important as that of the judi.
ciary, as we are all Interested in the preser
vation and safety of the ballots, and the im
partiality of their proceedings. In many of
these Boards we have had nothing but chica
nery and subterfuge—the worst practices of a
primary election or a ward convention. In
nib Twetly-fourth ward
,there was a
shameless attempt at fraud, which no
thing but the prompt action of the District
Attorney prevented from being -carried into
execution. In the Fifth district, we have
seen an attempt to return Mr. CARRIGAN by a
technical quibble, although Mr. THAYER has
the majority of the votes cast. In the meet
ing of city and county judges yesterday, we
bad the same exhibition on a larger scale. This
Board has been organized and managed precise
ly like a ward convention. A caucus was held,
ambitious and officious politicians were placed
in the offices, and everything proceeded on as
well as could be expected for the Democratic
party. The caucus that elected Mr. BROOKE
president; other gentlemen secretaries`
and doorkeepers, proceeded to elect Mr.
Rt . no to Congress, although Mr. Kraus
was the choice of . the people. TO do
this an adjournment was attempted, to enable
the caucus to manufacture evidence against
Mr. Mycits. There is no knowing how many
of a majority Mr. KLINE would have had this
morning if the caucus could have managed the
returns, but, fortunately, a mandamus was ob
tained from Judge Tilemesoa compelling the
count to proceed. Thereupon the voluble Mr.
Bit ocoin delivered a speech; and other voluble
gentlemen delivered speeches, and, after much
embarrassment and trouble, Mr. MYERS re
ceived his certificate. •
All this is too bad—it is positively diSgrace
,
fat. , We dc, not wish these swill ward politi
cians to manage.a - nd falsify the returns com
mitted to their c tre, so that "the will of the
ople may he falsified. Such things may be
tolerated id, Democratic Conventions, but they
cannot be permittld in a" body elected by the
people and charged,with the. performance of a
high and sacred duty.
PENZIE 4 YLVANIA has had•her share of pri
vations and sacrifices in this- slaveholding rebel
lion agairat' the freest. Government enrth,
Indiana and Ohio have bad theirs. :The Re
publicans and, loyal Dmaeorats in these States
volunteered by thousands, and the result is
the triumph of the so-called Democracy in
both. It is worth something to remember that
the Brechinridgers elected to Congress from
these two States , generally outbid the Union
candidates in professions of devotion to the
Union. Row such men can hold seats in the
National Legislature and vote against the Go
vernment is a problem which the future must
solve. In the'meanahile, let•tts hope that be
fore that Congress aisembles the rebellion will
be crushed and the Union restored.
IN looking over. the districts in which the
loyal Democrats have done their whole: duty
we must not forget the First. EnwArta, G.
WEBB, the unconditional Union Democratic
candidate, has entitled himself to the con&
dance and respect of all the supporters of the
Administration and the war. Re had a bitter
fight to make against an intolerant combina
tion. He asserted his principles in his bold
letter of acceptance, and never departed fmm
them. If he has" not won the fight, it is cer
tainly not to be charged to his want of courage
and consistency in making it.
THE FOLLOWING paragraph, from the N. Y.
Herald of yesterday, indicates that that jour
nal‘ regards the election of certain Democrats
to CongreSs as a new pledge that there is to be
a more vigorous prosecution of the war. So
mote it be:
" DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE REBEL LEADERS
AND .NEAVIIPAPERS —The Richmond papers have
reckoned without their host, in the case of our
elections. They calculated that there would be a
great Democratic uprising in their favor, repudi
ating the proclamation of Mr. Lincoln, and that
peace would soon be the result. The rebel officers
engaged in the recent raid into Pennsylvania etc
pressed the same sentiment at Chambersburg, as
appears from the letter of Colonel McClure, waich
we published y sterday. But these hopes are now
blasted. The elections have been held, and, if they
indicate anything, it is a vigorous prosecution of
the war for the Union till it is brought to a success
ful issue. Let the rebellions States, therefore,
take warning. The war will •be carried on more
vigorously than ever, and. there is nothing Jett for
them but submission to the authority. of the United
States Ge - vernment, or to, pay the penalty of their
obstinacy and folly,"
LETTER FROM, 1, OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, October 17, 1802.
As the hundreds 'of thousands of soldiers
now in the battle-field defending the Govern
ment and resisting the rebellion read over the
returns of the late elections, they will hardly
re echo the exaltations of the sympathizers.
N one know so well as these brave men what
an enormous mass of loyal voters has been ab
stracted from the party of the friends of
the Union by enlistments in the army. Even
those who went forth as avowed Democrats
have, in most cases, proclaimed their determi
nation never to lay down their arms until trea
son is crushed, and their wilingaess that the
institution of slavery should be crushed with
the treason of which it is the foundation and
the feeder. This practical consideration
will, let us hope, counteract the intentions
of the cceoperationists with the rebellion,
who look forward to a peace on the basis of
separation. They may therefore change or
abandon their programme in view'of the other
constituency, hereafter to be met, composed
of the heroic defenders of our fiag—a con
etitttency which, though not voting in these
eeiections play a,larreeee.
stage in, coming years. You observed, of
course, that just before the close of the cam
paigns in the three States of Indiana, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania; while the chief organs of
the so-called Democracy refused to admit that
they regretted or recanted their treasonable
' declarations, most of the candidates for Con
gress hastened to place themselves in
the position of ultra loyalists, as was
the case with Mr.' Carrigan in the distriet
of Bucks, who threatened personal violence
upon any who doubted his devotion to the
* Republic. You have'not also failed to notice
the stupendous vote thrown for the Union
ticket ev6n in several of the districts from
which so many Republicans and Douglas Demo
crats went forth to the battle-field.
pile is a striking evidence of the truth of this
remark; and the same thing may be said of
Chester, Delaware, Lancaster/. Dauphin, Al
legheny, Bradford, Tioga, and Erie. And
wherever it is notorious that a large re
siduum of Breekinridge voters awaits the
draft shortly to be made, after having voted
for the anti-Administration ticket in great
numbers, the Union citizens were fired
with an enthusiasm which seemed to 'glow
brighter and grow stronger as they reflected
upon the absence of fheir neighbors, relatives
and friends. But there is another view of this
result; full of admonition. However falsely
the Breckinridge leaders spoke when they
asserted that the Administration lacked vigor,
and discipline, and dash, it is certain that they
induced very many people to believe them ;
and, however incompetent and unworthy they
themselves would prove to be if oceupying the
places now filled by the President and his
constitutional advisers, why should not the
latter accept this phase of the popular verdict,
take the Breckimidgers on their pledge, and.
give new vitality and Vigor to the future ma
nagement of the war ? I contend that the
late elections have secured a substan
tial and unparalleled victory to the Ad
ministration. The • new House of Repre
sentatives will be decidedly with , the Go
vernment. For nearly twenty, years past
every Congress chosen with and favorable to
the new President has been succeeded by a
second Congress decidedly adierseld his poli
cy. It was _so in the second Congress under
Harrison and Tyler, tinder-Polk, under Taylor
and Fillmore, under Pierce, and calamitously
so wider Buchanan. All these Chief Magis
trates were defeated upon immaterial issues—
their path was comparatively plain and broed—
the Government was moving along on a beaten
track-Ltfieriatrialini was a unit,--and yet in the
North and in the South, decided majori
ties were pronounced against them. Who
can calettlate the burdens -that • the friends
of Mr. Lincoln . and the war have had
to carry in the late elections ? The cloud
of misrepresentations in regard to every
measure of the present Congress, the preju
dices growing out of the emancipation, taxa
tion, confiscation, and revenue questions, and
the aterror inspired in timid minds by the
wee:salty of adding new battalions to the army
through the,hard process of a draft—aeainst
all these obstacles, superadded to a'depreciated
,
currency, a heavy debt, the abeenee 9f . htin
drecis aflfl
,thotisands of our political friends in
the army, the fat that the '
Union men, in
private as well as martial life had to contend
against the Secessionists, armed and =armed,
and also that the sympathizers in `the; free
States had the field of opposition and
detraction entirely to themselves—against all
these obstacles and disadvantages the Ad
ministration has triumphed, and ' the next
House of Representatives will, IJ think,
be ours, even should the Border States con
tinue to array themselves against its policy. If,
therefore, the natural vexatious and mistakes
which no Administration could have avoided,
gave encouragement to those who really sym
pathize with the common enemy, the send
raent of love for the Union was too strong,
and the confidence in the President too well
settled, to deprive him of the power and the
aid of the popular branch of. Congress. The
civil war was a dreadful and bloody novelty,
and the manner of treating it a fearful experi- -
ixtent ; and yet Mr. Lincoln and his officers
have been triumphantly and effectively sus
tailed. Occasioxan.

At this stage of the proceedings, the returns of the
Thirtkorth ward having just been announced, Mr. Fay
called attention to an alleged hand, which was apparent
on the face of the return paper front the Thirteenth
ward. lle sold there aepeared to be a di/1)6811km to
rule Mr. Kline out, althongh every one conceded his
actual election. In order to arrive at the true and actual
returns, it was necessary that the hourly returns, as
well se those presented, should be in the hands of the
Prothonotary.
Several members of the Board denied the aseertion that
Mr. Elio° bad been actually erected, and contended that
the Board could not take cognizance of alleged frauds,
but were compelled to count the returns as presented,
without refert nee to their leiality. Mr. Green and other
members held that by the decision of Judge Lud.ow,
given last year, the membelp of the Board were mere
machines.
A member said that the decision of Judge Ludlow was
that the Board could not go behind the record presented
to tie, without regard to when end where the fraud was
porp6Wated,if fraud en Wed. • • - 1

Mr. F'ey , declared that a comparison of thew!, returns
wick, the Lonely papers exhibited a defalcation in the for
mer paper lii fever of Mr. 81; ere, sufficient to elect him,
The subject gave else to an animated diecoasion, in
which arguments, pro and con, were repeated with in
creasing vehemence. A scene of uproar and confusion
was the result, in the midst el which a motion was made
to take a recites until this morning. The motion was
carried ; but the recess had ecarcely become an accom
plieted fact before the arrival of a messenger from the
court with a writ of mandamus upon the president of the
hoard. This fact being communicated to the members,
the board re• assembled iu o few minutes afterwards,
..Many of the judges having left the room, the president
'appointed &committee of one to request their attendance.
All of the members abort', resumed their seats, when the
president, Mr. Brooke, informed the body theta peremp
tory mandamus had been carved upon himself and the
members of the board, as follows :
CITY AND COUNTY OP PHILADELPHIA, $$ :
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on the suggestion
Of Thomas L. Stafford, of the city of Philadelphia, :to
Charles W. Brooke, President or the General Return
Judges for the county of Philadelphia, and to the mem
bers thereof, greeting:
• We cot:award you, that immediately upon the receipt
of this, our writ, you proceed to perform the duty en
joined by the 19th and 80th sections of the act of,General
Assembly, nestled 22d of July, 1839, and in furtherance
thereof, that you do.add together the number of votes
which by the certificates before you, DM:daily certified
by the judges of the several election precincts, shell ap
pear to have been given for the persona in respect to
the office of Oongreeelonal Representative for the Third
Cougreeelonal district of sold county, and hereof fait not
at your peril.
Witness the Honorable OSWALD THOMPSON, LLB , Pre
eldent of our said Court at Philadelphia, this llth day
of October, 1862.
CHAS. KNIGHT, Prethonotarv.
The PrrEddent then addressed the Board, as follows:
GENTLIOIEN : I dtElire to state the position which /
ens cted this body was to assume in carrying the motion
fora recess, . There was a contest hero upon a question .
which appeared to be a mooted one, and about which I
expressed an opinion, unnecessarily, perhaps; and I un
detslood the object of that recess to bo to get the onlitlinn
of Judge Ludlow, or some other Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas, in order that the Board Of Beturn Judges
might exactly determine what were their rights and
duties Bet It appears that some of tha gentlemen did
not understand the motion In that way. I presume, if
that motion bad been eventually carried, then, when it
was judicially ascertained what we might and omildido,
there would be, to..morrow, no difficulty about making
these returns. About the time that motion was put it
appear, an application was made by Sir Stafford for a
writ of mandamus. That mandamus was served upon
me and the members present. The only return we can
make to that mandamus, in Its present form, is to doWhet
that w rit commands—namely, to go on and count the
vote /88 we have it here upo t the papers before us. I
tie store decide that our I nalneta is now to go on and
count that vote.
