OUR OTTAWA Hlection Law! —_- ‘DISPATCH, The Special Dispatch to Examiner : Orrawa, April 11 Mr. Latlamme’s Amendment to the Elee- tiom Law provides for the adoption of the Annex System, by which the Returing Ofiicer is enabled to identify each ballot as that handed by him to the elector, without bein® able to ascertain for whom the el- ector has voted. An additional provision compels each voter claiming to be unable to make his ballot from ignorance, to take oaththat he igunable to read or write be- fore he can vote openly. With these amendments, the Election Law will be rendered as nearly perfect as possible, and will afford every security as to voting, and against the abuses it has been amended to avoid.

A poor ‘man from Strathalbyn, whose wife had _ re- cently died Jeavinga family of eight small children, was arrested for debt, and, with- out time being allowed him to arrange for his children being cared for, hurried off to Charlottetown jail. The distress and anxiety respecting his family’s safety and welfare Nave unhinged his mind, and the man is now a helpless maniac. Other cases almost equally painful are of frequent oc- currence, we believe.
