'j- -1 a i Amendment of the Election Law'One of tho most important mens . urcs of the Session is tbo bill introduced 'ky Senator Corbin, for the sunendmeat of the present odious election law of the State. Tho bill proposos to roraovo tho most objectionable features ot the present law, and if properly enforced would seem to^fTord a sufficient safeguard against $ho frauds which may bo perpetrated under tho law as it now exists. The. first section of tho bill amends tho-third section of the Act, bo that of the threo Commissioners, and Ahreo Managers of Election, one at Jeafct of each shall be appointed from -caeb political party. v . The socond section of tho bill amends tho thirteenth section of the .Aet, by striking out the words "eack box 8ball bo provided with :i sufficient lock, and shall bo locked before tho .opening of the poll and tho keys rc lained tho commissioners, and w shall not bo ononed during tho elec lions," and inserting the u ords "oath box shall be provided with a sufficient Jock, and said lox shall bo publicly opened and inspected to see it is enip.ty and eocuro, and then looked just . before tho opening of the poll, .and Abe keys rotained by tho managers, -and shall not be opened daring the Suction third of the bill, amendiug fiction fifteen of tho Act, makes the flawing important change?as to the time, place aud mode of counting lhe Voice: "That at tho closc of' lli3 election, tho tnanagers and clcrk shall inime-i diaftely proceed publicly to open the ballot box, and count I lie ballots | therein, and mttko such statement of jLho result thereof, and sign tho same, .as tho naturo of the election shall jeqhiro.

If more ballots jshall be found on opening tho bo.\ than thci-o are names on the poll list,' all t4)C ballots shall be returned to ihe box, and thoroughly mixed to-j getiier, and one of tho managers or tl?e clerk small, without seing the bal-! lota, draw therefrom and immediate-) Jy destroy as many ballots as there; arc in excess 01 mc numueroi names; on the poll list.

Tliis public counting'at the place of Toting, and at the close of tho election, Affords a needed protection! -u-munst. that tnirwicrinir with the vote -e> ' 0 . which may ba practised under the! present law. Soction Jjoighteen of tho Act, rcla-! ting to the aiuntiug of the votes by' tho commissioners, itfrepealed, and: tho following subsfitotcd in its stead : j "That they shall proceed publicly j to eanrass tho returns of tho mar.a-; ffvra of election of tho countj\ and j from said returns, make such statements as tho nature of tho election jshall rcquiro, and, within three clays .of the timo of tho first meeting as a board of commissioners, transmit llio wimo to-the,board of State Canvassers, togother with any aud all papers1 relating to thejilctftion..
