Stevens, the commissioner nppolnted bv Governor Hastings to stiptrvise the taking of the vote of the Thirteenth icglment. The following uie some excerpts from the net, showing Its geneial tenor und effect' "A poll shall be opened In each com pany, composed In whole or In pait of Pennsylvania soldiers, und It shall be located at the quarters of the captain 01 other officer theieof, and all elec tors, belonging to such company, who shall be within one mile of such quar tets, on the tiny of election, and not pi evented by cudcts of their toininand eis or pioxlmltv of the enemy, from lemming to theh company uunrtefs, shall vote at such poll and at no other place, olllceis other than those of n company, and other voters detached and absent fiom their companies, ot In military or nnval hospital, or In nny vessel or navy yard may vote at such othei polls as may be most convenient fot them, and when there shall bo ten or mote voters at any place, who shall be unable to attend any company poll or their ptoper place of election as aforesaid, the elcctot.s piesent may open a poll, nt suth place as they may select, and cettlfy the piocoodlngs In the poll book. SOME OF THE DETAILS. "The polls shall be open at least three hours. "The electots piesent shall choose three judges of election. The ludges of election shall appoint two clerks nnd piepaio suitable ballot boxes. The Judges of election may, and, upon chal lenge, shall, exnmlne any uppllcnnt in lespeet to his right to vole. "Separate poll books shall be kept, and sepatate returns madefnrthevoters of each city or countv; the poll books s-hnll name the company nnd regiment and the place, post or hospital In which such election is held. "Each ticket shall have wtitten or pi luted thereon the names of nil the ofilceis which may be propeily voted for at said election, for which tho said elector desires to vote. "Two of the Judges, on making the count, shall read the ballots and tho third shall stilng the vote foi each county upon a separate thread "The Judges shall transmit one of the poll books, tally list, returns and tickets to the piothonotary of each county lepresented by voters. "Not more than one commissioner shall be assigned to any one leglment. He shall be allowed ten cents a mile for each mile tiaveled by the generally traveled unite from his home to the camp and teturn. He shall deliver copies of the act and tickets to the election ofilceis and shall have geneial supervision over the election.

He shall also deliver copies of the sbeilff's pioclamatlon to the staff olficeis nnd company coni mandets. CAN VOTE P.Y PROXY "Wheie a voter Is one of a detail of less than ten voters who are not able to leach their company or tegular poll ing place, he may deposit his vote In a sealed envelope and give It to a quali fied elector of the dlstilct In whlth he votes, to cast for him by ptoxy. This vote Is subject to challenge the same as If the voter was present. "A poll tax of ten cents Is imposed on every Pennsylvania soldier lu the field at the time of an election, but he shall be exempt from nil other person al taxes. Election ofilceis lecelve no compensation." Where theie Is a conflict between the Curtlu act nnd the Raker ballot law the more iccent law will, of coutse, obtain. The only conflict is that bal lots of the present blanket style will be substituted for tho old fashioned folder ballot. The act does not apply to tlje election of councils or ward and division officers In tho city of Philadelphia. Such a Smait Dog.
