For lit ipfriiiia! By a Vote 0C330 to 159. The railroad election in Marion township, yesterday, resulted in an overwhelming victory for the friends of the railroad. The result in the South precinct gave 114 votes for the appropriation, and 74 against. In the North precinct, the vote was 216 for, and 85 against. Total vote for-330. Total vote against—ls 9. . Majority so or more than two to one. The election passed off in a quiet and orderly manner, and developed no incident more interesting than the rather unreasonable wrath of Uncle Tommy Robinson, and a few others of the opponents of the tax, when they found that the friends of the appropriation had printed plenty of ballots reading “For the appropriation,” but none against. Uncle Tommy was equal to the occasion, however, and a prompt execution of his orders by The Republican job office, obviated the shedding of anything more sanguinary than profanity. Two or three representatives of the Fort Wayne, Peoria & Galesburg railway company, which was incorporated on the 28th of last June, as a part of the great, but doubtless visionary, 11,000 mile narrow gauge scheme of “The Peoples’ Railway Company of America,” came to town Monday, and on Tuesday flooded town and township with circulars, full of the most gorgeous promises of what the Ft. W., P. & G., would do for Rensselaer, provided the election yesterday was carried against the appropriation. Their efforts had no result except to induce a number of undecided people to vote for the appropriation. The town of Rochester, in Fulton county, voted an appropriation for the R., R. & St. L. road on Tuesday.
