The Gounty Canvafsors wero in fcssinn yestorday, but had not declared the rosuli at the time of writing this artiole. - Sineo the above was in typo the County Canvassers have rejeeted the return oi tho soldi.rs' vote, and declured on the hniae vote. The District Board have dono the same, and Mr. Shier, in tb e First Represeutativo District, ie the only Ropublioau who gets a certifícate of election. As the election would have been conteated in any event, this action Bimply changas tho position of tho contoetants. As ouv paper is ready for preas we reserve commeot on tbis action of the Board uutü another woek. J5S The New York Pont's Washington special, says that Mr. Kassox, of Iowa, preposes to introduce a bilí into the House taking off the dufy ou paper. Congress ought to do this thing iminedifttely. The duty combined wi'li the premium' on exehanges is so high as to prevent the iroportation of paper, and give the rtiakers entire control of lbo inarket. Paper is as cheap in England and Germany, or nearly fo, as before tho war, while hero it has advanced from 200 to 300 per cent. Take off the duty and importations would cotnpel the paper tnakevs of the country tobe satisfied with a libera' profit. II prices are advanced or kept at tbeir present figures newspnpers without numbers must stop, and t'he publicaticin of books be coütraeted beyond precedent. The governmont loses in the advance it alone pays more than it reaüziH fiom the duty, whicli certainly ought to induce Congress to act., even itf it bas no Hympatliy wilh the newepaper interest of the country.

In 1857 he was a candidato for Vice President on the Fremont ticket. He has made an able Miuister, and an iuexperienced diploraatist will find it difBcult to fill the posiliou vacated by his death.
