The. Board ot Examiners met Monday at Frankfort. The certificate in the Fourth Congressional District was given id W. In awarding the certificate to Anderson, the Board of Examiners present the following explanation' and defense of their action Msxo. The above certificate is based on.

re-, turns regularly made out and certified by the respective Boards of Examiners on the day -fixed by mw, and duly returned to the Secretary of State. An amended return was forwarded from Boyleoounty certifying that there was a mistake of four votes against W. C. Anderson "as appeared by a re-examination and scrutiny of the poll books. Appended to this corrected return is.

a statement by the Clerk, that after the Examiners had given the certificate of the vote of this county, he, the Clerk, had loaned the poll books from his office to some gentleman, who discovered the error which is attempted to be corrected, and reported it to the Examiners, who, on re-examination, found it was so. After this, and after all theieturnsfor the district were in, letters were filed with the Secretary, stating that the Examiners of Cumberland county had made a mistake in their certificate of the vote of that county, and time was asked to have it corrected. This was granted in order that all questions might be fairly made, and a decision had upon the facts as they existed. An amended certificate from Cumberland county was accordingly forwarded to the Secretary, stating that the vote of W. C.

Anderson, in that county, was 650, and that of J. S. Chrisman 380, A certificate was also filed from the county of Adair, stating that there was a clerical mistake of one vote against Anderson. We have felt-constrained, in the exercise of onr best judgment on the proper construction of the law, to reject all these amended returns, and to issue the certificate according to the orignal returns made to the Secretary of State. The law in relation to elections provides that the Judges shall attend to the summing up of the votes, certify the poll books, and deliver them in a sealed envelop to tne Sheriff.

The same law requires that each Judge shall retain a duplicate statement of the summing up of his precinct, which, in a contingency named, may be used as evidence of the vote. It also requires that the poll books of the different precincts shall, within two days after the the election, be deposited by the Sheriff with tbe Clerk ot the County Court, and on the next day thereafter the Board of Examiners shall compare them, ascertain the correctness of the summing up, and make out three written certificates in the case of a Represetative in Congress, certifying the number of votes given in the county for each of the candidates, one of which certificates.is to be retained in the Clerk's office, another forwarded by mail to tbe Secretary of State, and the third sent to the Secretary by any private conveyance. We, as a State Board, are to act on the returns thus made, and make out triplicate certificates of those having tbe highest number of votes; and our functions as Examiners do not more clearly cease when we have made our certificate of election, than in our opinion do those of the county Examiners after they have certified the full vote of the county. If this be not the just and proper construction of the law, wby require the poll books to be sealed up when they pass out of the hands of tbe Judges of the election If a correction can be made nine days after the poll books are unsealed and opened to the inspection of whoever may choose to examine them, or after they have been taken out of the Clerk's office, there would be but little efficacy in requiring them to be sealed in the first instance. If such additional returns are legal, the State Board of Examiners would be bound to receive and act on whatever correction should be made before their certificates were given, and as their functions are confined to the summing up tbe votes, they would be precluded from any inquiry as to the manner in which such corrections were brought about.

They could not institute an inquiry as to whether or not the poll books had been changed or altered after the seals were broken and they had passed into other hands than tbe Examiners. The amended certificates would, in all cases, necessarily be conclusive on the Examiners here. We think, therefore, it is clear, when the County Board have acted on the poll books of the whole county, and delivered their certificates to the Clerk, who has transmitted them to the Secretary, that their functions cease, and they have no power to recall or change those certificates. Tbe supposed analogy between this case and that of the special Judicial election 1857, will be found, on examination, not to exist. In that case, as in this, time was given for the correction of a supposed error in Meade county of twelve votes against Mr.

Bullitt, so that a decision might be had upon the effect of such correction; but as the correction, if made and allowed, would not have changed the result of the election, no decision was had by the Board on the question. In the Judicial election, the certificate first forwarded to the Secretary from the county of Hart gave Wheat 122 votes. The State Board of Examiners, before this certificate was acted on, were notified that there was a clerical mistake in copying this certificate as to the number of votes cast for Wheat, and that the other two certificates, made out at the same time, contained the true number of votes, according to the poll books.

Frankfort is a very old city for this young and fast country. The ground on which it stands was surveyed by Robert McAfee, in 1773, and the town established by an act of the legislature ot Vir ginia, in 1786. There are but few now living whose niemory extends over so long a period. And yet, within this long period, Frankfort has not haS a more glorious day than yesterday. The State of Kentucky came into the Union as a Democratic sister of the National Confederacy, in 1782 and for many years thereafter this political party had control of the capitol.

But the sceptre passed from the hands of the Democracy, and ever and anon was wielded by the foe under the name of Anti-Relief, Old Court, National Republican. Whie. Know Nothing, or some other name, until Democracy, at Frankfort, was decidedly below par. The hunkers grew so fat upon the public crib, and so proud of association with one another that they said they could smell a Demo crat a mile, and that the scent was too awful for nostrils polite. It was a glorious day, then, that saw Kentucky return to her first faith and turn out these life-long feeders upon the public crib.

The installation into office of the Hon. Benah Magoffin was a rep etition of the same formula that had served seventeen times before; but its importance was some thing more than the eighteenth inauguration of Kentucky's Governor. It was the symbolof Kentucky's return to the political faith of the fathers of the Commonwealth the visible evidence of foolish things being laid aside and wise things undertaken anew. At nine o'clock in tje morning the Committee appointed for the purpose proceeded out the Har-rodsburg road to meet the Governor elect on his way to Frankfort, and to conduct him with becoming honors to the Capitol. The procession that was formed by the junction of the escort of and of the Committee, with, the gathering up of both along the two ends of the road, extended in length more than a mile.

It marched into the city, and having proceeded along the streets designated in the published programme, arrived at the pulic square, in front of the Court House, at noon. Here a beautiful and commodious platform, decorated with evergreens, was erected under the shady trees, to which the Governor elect as conducted. He read from bis manuscript a lengthy inaugural address, which but a small portion of the ten thousand persons present could hear. The oath of office was then administered to him by Judge Duvall, of the Appellate Court, amidst marked silence. The Hon.

Chas. S. Morehead then conducted the Hon. Be-riah Magofiia to the office of the State Executive, and after handing over to him all he had, the former became ex-Governor and the latter Governor of Kentucky. Thus has entered upon the duties of this office the twenty-second Governor of Kentucky eighteen of them by the direct choice of the people at ei many popular elections, and four of them by virtue of the office of Lieutenant Gov ernor, from which they passed to that of Governor by the death or resignation of their chiefs and we venture to say that Gov.

Magoffin, the twenty- second in number, will fill bis term of office with as much honor and satisfaction as any of his predecessors, however hallowed in the memories of those who appreciate the public coaduct of the great and good. The inaugural address is too leDgtby for our issue of this morning, but we will lay it before our re aders at as early a day fs the pressure upon our limited columns will permit. We will also in our issue of to-morrow give an account of the ball which came off last night at the Capitol Hotel in honor of the inauguration. In the meantime we but express the opinion of all who witnessed the ceremonies of yesterday except the unfortunates whooo funoml if nrua i. Dt-J lliaV cturj thing went off in the finest style and most manner.

The Certificate of Election Given to Anderson. The Hoard of Examiners, as may be seen from the report which we lay before our readers this morning, have awarded the certificate of election in the Fourth Congressional district to Wm. C. Anderson, Esq. The official returns sent at first to Frankfort, indicated the election of Anderson by three votes.

Errors, however, were discovered in the votes of Boyle and Cumberland counties, which if corrected, would have changed the result. The Board of Examiners, however, determined not to look bshind the returns first made, and hence issued the certificate to Anderson. The eiror in Boyle county would have added four to Anderson's vote, and the error in Cumberland would have added thirteen to Chrisman's vote thus securing Chrisman's election by a majority of six votes. We will not follow the Board of Examiners in the impotent argument, which they have manufactured to justify their course of action. The people will regard it is as a most unjustifiable piece of pettigogging a shameful political dodge, unworthy of men occupying the high and responsible position of the Board of Examiners.

It was to bo hoped that the Administration of Gov. Morehead would close without any action calculated to sully its fair fame, but we regret to say that the just expectations of the people have been disappointed, and the last official act of the defunct Know Nothing Administration has been such as to call forth the unqualified condemnation of unprejudiced men of all parties. Will Mr. Anderson accept? Dare he accept a certificate, when he has good reason to know that his gallant competitor has received a major ity of the votes cast? Will he take advantage of a mere clerical error and represent the people of the Fourth district whether they will have him or not? Under the circumstances, we think Mr. Anderson should refuse to accept his certificate; let him propose to Mr.

Chrisman to run the race over. If he does not do something of this kind he will be ruined politically forever. The people of Kentucky like magnanimity and fairness in politics, and, if Anderson does not resign now and run the race over, he can never hope to bo elected again to CoDgress neve no, never. Harpers' Copyright in Douglas' Magazine Article. Exclusive Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial.

Washington, Aug. 20. No inconsiderable perturbation has been created since early this morning, by a succession of telegraphic dispatches some of them to Mr. Douglas and others to his friends on the subject of the note of the Harpers to the press, prohibiting the publication on Popular Sovereignty. I know of three such dispatches from New York, and one from Philadelohia.

They all urge the importance of an immediate contradiction of the implied statement in the Harper caution about copyrighting, that the Illinois Senator had received a pecuniary consideration for, his latest politico-lite-raiy labor. One dispatch urges Mr. Douglas to repudiate without delay any participation in such contemptible meanness as such a transaction would appear to involve. Another requests his most devoted adherent in this city to save him from a worse fate than that of Wise. In fact either Mr.

Douglas has reduced manifestoism 'upon controvertea political subjects to a lower level than it has ever reached before, or else the Harpers have been taking an unwarrantable liberty with the press in causing them to refrain from copying an article for which they gave no consideration. The impression upon the public mind is that Senato Douglas was really paid for thecmo-munication in question, or else Harpers gave bim the choice between having it categoried among the "rejected articles" they are constantly receiving, or published Oil consideration of the name of the author appearing over the piece and being privileged to use it exclusively. I have just learned, also, that Mr. Douglas will not venture to reply to the dispatches which have been sent to him. Advance copies of Harper must have been received in largo numbers by Douglas yesterday.

The article itself was freely canvassed this morning, and the inconsistency was pointed out by his Southern adherents that he assumes in it as an undoubted fact that the Judiciary cannot exorcise any control over the slavery question, while in private conversation he has said again and again, within two months, that those who hold the ultra pro-slavery view in the Territories will al-J? the United States Courts to appeal to, andthat hew.ll be the last man to dissent from their decision this point hangs the entire edifice of Mr. Douglas' popularity or unpopularity in the Southern States, audit is therefore confidently beheved that this article of his in Earners' Magazine must damage him seriously. The TTr aid editorially intimates that Gov. Wise oneut to rejoin in Bonner's Ledger. jy.

Y. Herald. Senator Fitch, of Indiana, who has been reported to be in a dying condition at his residence Logansport, is in Washington Citv in the enjoyment of good health. une of these certificates was transmitted to the Secretary, showing that Wheat had received 222 votes, instead of 122. We thus had two original certificates, which were authorized by law to be sent to the Secretary, and the question was, which was right? The Clerk and Examiners made affidavit that the last one sent was an exact copv of the oo fiio tbo Ollloc, unu contained the correct result ot tbe poll books, and our action was accordingly based on the last one.

The Examiners of Nelson countv first sent a certificate of the votes of that county, stating on MS ace mat mey nau not included the vote of the Hioomneid precinct, ss they had not received it. They aUerwards forwarded an additional certificate giving the vote of that precinct, which had in due time been delivered by the Sheriff' under seal of the deputy Clerk, and bv neglect had not been laid before the Examiners. They did not attempt to maKe any change in the vote of the precincts which they had before certified, but certified the vote of the precinct thus returned under seal by them. The vote of this precinct was counted lavor ot nr. cututt, simply on the ground, that as the law required the Examiners to act on the books of each precinct, their duty did not cease until they had so acted.

But in nn instance did they attempt to re-count the votes of any precinct alter it had been once certified. It is proper to add that a distinction was made at the lime, by the Examiners, between the case as presented by this special election, and the correction of the poll books, after they had been certified by the County Examiners, and the corrections were allowed, on the express ground that it did not involve the legality of a re-scruliny and re-examination of the vote as certified. It may not be improper also to state, that when the amended return from Boyle was filed, and before it was known what effect it was to have on the result, the opinion of the undersigned is known to have been adverse to its reception.

S. MOREHEAD, MASON BROWN, Secretary of State. JAMES HARLAN, Attorney General. Col. Boyd and the U.

S. Senate. The Hop-kinsville Press has taken ground in favor of Hon. John C. Breckinridge for the U.

S. Senate, but Wm. Brown, the Representative from Christian county, and Robert Glenn, the Senator from Christian and Todd, are both in favor of Col Boyd for the Senate. In addition this, all the Democratic Senators and all the Democratic Representatives from the First Congressional district, are for Col. Boyd for the Senate, as well as a large number from the Second Congressional district.

Our information from other portions of the State, indicate a decided feeling in his favor, and many of the members elected to the Legislature are ardently desirous to cast their votes for him for that distinguished position. Indeed, it is the belief of many intelligent men in the State, that Col. Boyd can be very easily elected if he desires the position and will permit the use of his name. Col. Boyd is now Lieut.

Governor of the State and desires to fill faithfully and fully the position to which he has been elected by the people. He conhdently expects to take his seat as President of the State Senate at the meeting of that body. His physical health and strength are steadily improving, though his disease still clings to him with annoying pertinacity. What will be his ultimate determination rela- uia nuiuu to oe usea lor me u. fc.

senate, we cannot say; but he has many ardent iriends in the Ktatp nnn to allow them the use of his name, and who feel confident that he is the favorite of the people and the choice of a majority of the Legislature, (hi bject however, we are inclined to if Byd wiU make no movement himself. He has ever been in the hands of the Democracy to do with him as they thought proper and he will hardly differ in this instance from the uniform rule of Mb life.
