Kingsbury, to the 128 counted by Dr. Brainard, accounts precisely for that number. The undersigned therefore came to the conclusion, that there must have been 128 votes in this last parcel and no more, and that those who testified that there were 131, must have been mistaken as to that number. The allegation that Mr. Lincoln fraudulently brushed off two votes for the remonstrant, has not the least testimony, in the opinion of the undersigned, to sustain it. He admitted that he did brush off the two votes in question; but not till after all the votes had been counted-they were in the direction of those counted by Brainard, and had undoubtedly been counted by him. The undersigned differ from the majority as to the right of G. Ward to vote in China. He testifies that he voted for Mr. Hunnewell,-that his home was in China-that he was taxed there-that he had worked one-half of the time for six months in Albion, but that he had not intended to take up his residence there. The undersigned are of opinion, that where there is any doubt as to the legal residence of an individual, the declared intentions of said individual are to be taken as evidence to solve that doubt.

There were some other particulars in which the undersigned differed from the majority of the committee, but as they are not material and do not affect the result, we forbear to enlarge upon them. Upon this view of the case, and conceding to the remon

strant all the votes he claims, he still fails of an elec

tion by two votes.

The undersigned therefore Report that Corydon Chadwick have leave to withdraw his remonstrance. E. F. DEANE,
