ELECTION RIOTS.
Troy Wing,

The closing of the polls yesterday was at
tended and succeeded in various portions of the
city, but chiefly in the Sixth ward with iercer
and more bloody riots tl.an have dis.
graced the metropolis for many years rpast.
Up 10 about O'Clock P. NJ. the balloting was
carried on with good degree of order. A,
about that time three or four Locofoco DULLES
belonging TO the Spartan Band - Michael
Walsh, Yankee Sullivan and BLACKBOARD
named Ford began the disturbance by kicking
over the ballot boxes in different districts in
The ward. They were soon opposed by the
Faugh. a. a!lahs - another LocofOco gang,
chiefly lrish-and 4 general fight commenced.
The Irish were mostly armed with clubs. Sew
eral persons were beaten with most savage
violence: three or four were so badly wound.
ed that they can scarcely survive. One, we
believe Ford, had his head split open with a
club, and was conveyed 10 the Hospital. He
was alive at II o'clock, but was expected 10
die before morning.
AT about six O'Clock the Irish obtained com.
plete possession of Centre Street and would
n'low none TO pass; at this time nearly Ten
thousand persons were collected there. The
mob soon went down Franklin Street 10 Or
ange and amused themselves by miscellaneous
small fights. Presently they began 10 attack
the houses in Orange Street, broke in the
doors and windows, destroyed the furniture.
and drove out the occupants of several of them
At about s'clock, squad attacked the Sixth
Ward Hotel. kept by ]. Dunn, corner of cen
ire and Duane Streets and completely riddled
the two lower stories of their furniture. &c.
which they broke up and threw into the streets.
1t is said that the Spartans took refuge in this
house, whittier they were pursued by the
Faugh a-balaghs.
During all these proceedings the Police
were almost powerless By reason of their small
numbers. No precautionary measures had
been taken by the city authorities, and the
whole city was at the mercy of the mob.
Up, midnight little over fifty persons had
been committed 10 the Tombs. We have the
names of most of them: but as many were TAX
en- to the prison mainly 10 protect them from
violence, and as the whole proceedings were
so informal and hasty, by reason of the confu-
sion attendant upon their arrest, that many OF
them arc undoubtedly innocent, we forbear 10
publish them until after their examination This
morning.
we learn with regret that the house of Bish-
op Hughes was attacked by band of ruttans
we believe by the Spartans-the windows
and blinds broken in. and the building other
wise damaged. At abou. nine O'Clock the
mayor ordered out small military force. which
was directed especially TO the protection of St.
Patrick's Cathedral, in Prince street, as vlo-
lence was apprehended. Quiet was restored
through the city before midnight. Express.
