' TOWNSHIP or ’MARKHAM, To the Editor Of'tlio York Herald, Sm,-â€"A most disgraceful scene oc- i . a. ‘. curred at the annual meeting for the elec- tion of Trustees in School Section No.” ",6, Markham, For some time past the section to which I allude to have differed fill their opipidns with regard to the quali- fication of Mindohii Macey, their teacher. In fact some few of the voters have alâ€" lOWetl themselves to be worked up to sucna state of excitement that the mille- inium may come before they “ cool ” .down to their original temperature. The conduct of these persons at their last To tagonistic to the then existing Trustees and Teacher, appeared to be the object of those disaffected men; and to make the election sure,a poll Was demanded, wliich‘was’kept "open two days, during ' which time. violations of the law were fiequcntly made by both parties. Old and decrepit inrn, dragged from their beds, escorted by Igorcuferm arms. ap- proached the poll, and were compelled to it vote as directed; aged inenand women, . ,having neither a“ habitation er a home,” were' bland-ed tci the Returning Officer, and claiirfeiil‘ a Iright to" vote.

Now let us examine into this stnto " of the poll. in order honestly to arrive oi. a fair conclusion as to‘itli’é lessons taught by the con- test. To aiiy'man conversant really with tho ti no state of matters in this Riding, the result ‘ of this election must show that the Clear Grits have sustained 3‘ most humiliating defeat a the outset of this election. V'l‘hey laughed up the idea of'Col. Berosford coming forward 0nd,: any terms, and declared that they would defeat " him by a majority of from 800 to 1500 ; and tho result is, after using every means in the power of a hitherto most numerous and dominant party. they with the greatest difficultyâ€"and after alniost superhumanefl'ort, succeed in lento * dug their ce‘iididato my (majority of 410.-7-‘ Where are tit-9 old {majorities sec, and 1000 ?~;--" Where are the boasted ,inajoritie'é of 1000 Ind .1500 which they derisivoly assured us would b0, the result of this-.st'ugglo? 'I‘hoconstituoncy ,of this Riding numbers somewhat about 3900. and the whole of the. votes emu amount to only. _ 9100, leaving atallmvldii‘ts an unpolled portion of somewhere about 1100. Now thgtvthio uno‘ polled portion oftho constituency remained so, in spite of the efforts made use of by the agents,x of both parties.,~is jquite manifest. Let us no if \iv‘o’ca‘in rationally, account for the non-ops: poarauce of a grout proportion ofvthosc votu.‘ 0n the returns mudoito the Sheriff, I believe I speak within thexstrict bounds of truth in Ital-f ing that in East-‘Gwsilliuinsbury more than fifty persons presented themselves to Vote who cup» posed they had votes, and feiind, from coma“ reason or another. they Were deprived of their franchise ; and _‘ these persons were invariably " voters for Cal 'Beros’ford. but the parties having“ charge of" the assessment roll were his oppon-ir outs ; I believe Col. Beresford’s poll clerk‘ recorded some of the votes, and made them do» cluro who they votedfor in order to be able to‘ prove the caseâ€"and numbers ('on thesd‘iltiio'n" returning to their homes, and. staffing thutithéir= votes had been refused) were prevented frou’ coming to the pollrl§st they should be also ro-‘ fused.
