FIFTH WAaD.-Great hustle here at the opening,
but il subsidized. The challengers seemed to be
getting their dander up after the first days result
literally. As specimen of the utter inutiIity of
the new series OF questions, we give the following
case:-
The voter was tall, fierce looking cavalier dress
ed in a close fitting frock coat, sort of I" devil
may care air, and look that seemed to say he was
ready fer any Of sport, from making love up to
fighting duel As his outer man betOkened wing
principles, he was challenged by the locofocos.

day.
Wow, gentlemen, as you were so curious OF
every other point, allow me to tell you that voted
LoArER.-Hurrah for Jem JewIick
This mode Of catechizing must tend to diminish
the aggregate number Of votes. In the first two
hours the numbers recorded were 272.
An odd Of long shore looking loafer presented
himself 20 vote, with couple Of tickets that had
been well thumbed and paved about.
Inspector. Sir, your vote is challenged. What's
Voter. Seaman Lewis, No. lbs Chapel street.
!! How long have You lived there!
". Oh! . long while.
l. Have you not been out of the county during
the last six menthsi
". No.
l. Then you may vote, One-Twol
One al the challengers, however, had some doubt
Of the truth Of this fellows story and he directed
officer to keep his eyes Seaman Lewis, while he
ascertained ifhe lived at l25 Chapel street.
On inquiry there, they said no such person was
known, and the challenger therefore, gave the voter
into custody. When questioned as to his wherea-
bouts he said that he slept the night previous Al
Brooklyn, and came to this city TO look for
job, and thought he might well 60 10 the polls
any body else. When there, man told him he had
a right TO vote, and so he took the tickets and
voted.
This man he pointed out, in the person Of one Ed
ward n LathrcP, ticket vender, Who 10 stationed
at the "ifth."
Lathrop denied the soft impeachment, and said
that the feolow represented himself genuine vo-
the authority Of the president OF the board Of nspec
tors What was 10 be done with Lathrop was not
dcte rnined ON.
SIXTH WAsp~-Here the arrangements are most
miserable. The place is Geld and cherries; the in
spectors, except Counsellor Shaer, seem dull; chal
lengers seem wide awake and the clerks are half =
sleep. The crushing and crowdng are tremendous;
and have to wait two hours before they can get
chance 20 put in their There is less enthusi
asm here than ever saw before. The flags are
old and worn out. There no new banners and
very few placards. A jolly, round faced mas came
up to vote:-
Where were you born, sr1'
Il was begot IN France, born in London and be-
long 60 New York
How sof'
Because married New York girl belong to
my wife, and she belongs TO New York
