Mistake in Counting votes.

--A note from Capt. John Pearce, Superintentendent of the City Alms-House, under date of yesterday, says:

‘ By an examination recently of the poll-books, there was discovered a mistake in the returns from Madison Ward, by which my opponent, Mr. Raines, was given ninety-five votes which he did not receive in reality. As this makes my majority 190 less, I ask that this mistake may be corrected in the Dispatch. It is a mistake which my friends would like to see corrected. Very respectfully,

John Pearce.
