New York Charter Election.
The Herald gives some of the incidents of the
election on the 10Th inst II saws:


The Herald gives some of the incidents of the
election on the 10th inst. 1t says:
" The election was, for the most part, conducted
in quiet manner; there was, however, some ex-
element in the Sixth and Eighteenth wards. In
fact, the Sinh appeared to be made the head
quarters for riong around the polls more especially
at the Sd district, opposite the TOmbs. This poll
was the principal attraction, and drew large
number of spectators to witness the fighting and
squabbling between the contending parties-the
Brennanites and the Kellyites. About noon, while
the rain was pouring down in torrents the Kelly
boys seized upon the ticket-box of the Brennan
party, standing on the side walk, carried it into
the centre of the street, and broke it into pieces
In the melee, many broken heads was the result
Shortly after, the Brennan party retaliated, and
broke up the Kelly-box. This caused terrible
fight; and the boards composing the box were split
up into small pieces and used for weapons in break.
ing each others heads The police interfered, and
some eight or ten of the rngeaders were taken be-
fore the magistrate and committed. New boxes
were again placed on the stand, and the election
eering vent on usual, with an occasional knock
down and drag out. The other wards were re.
markably quiet.
In the Eighteenth ward, the disturbance was
among the persons attached to two portions of the
wing party. The difficulties have been brewing
ever since the canvass first commenced There
were several personal conflicts, but no great dam
age done. In most of the wards things were con-
Quoted in such a manner as to maintain the re-
spectability of all parties. In fact, the weather
was such as to prevent very large numbers of per-
sons from collecting about the polls
"In the Fourth ward, a person is said to have
gone up to the polls in one district, and demanded
to know if all the ballot-boxes were locked He
was informed that they were, but, on making
personal examination, he ascertained that two of
them were guiltless of bolt or fastening. =
In the second district of the Second ward, a
person, said to be Blackwells Island convict,
arrested for attempting to cast an illegal vote

The NATIONAL WING AND OFFICIAL INTELLI-
GENcER.-The Wing beats the Inteligencer in
energy; what it lacks in dignity it makes up in
industry. The following paragraphs show that it is
determined to be regarded as the mouth piece of
the President. 1t intends to use the Telegraph 10
establish its character the exponent of the Ad-
ministfation
"We will thank our contemporaries who copy
the Geographic intelligence from Washington bear
ing the credit of the National Wing, to preserve
the credit. 1t is courtesy that we think is due to
our labor in the cause of difsing correct inteli-
gence."
"The press of New York, which is furnished
with the Geographic news from Washington, will
please not omit to give the credit to the National
Wing Office, as the dispatches all emanate from it,
nished is that such credit shall be given''

The Tribune remarks: "The day was about the
worst we ever saw an election take place on-dark
over head and muddy under foot, with constant
northeast drzze direct from the coast of Labrador
This, combined with the disorganization of the
Loco Focos, and the general disgust of citizens
at the recent management Of our city affairs by
both parties, to render the vote remarkably light
one. We doubt whether more than two thirds of
the legal voters actually in the city exercised their
right of suffrage
The Commercial Advertiser, of the llth inst
thus announces the eesult of the election the day
previous:
The Charter election yesterday resulted as
favorable to the wings the most sanguine of their
number could well expect or desire. They have
elected their candidate for Mayor, Caleb s. Wood
hull bya majority of at least 1000 three Judges of
the Superior and two of the Marine Court, and
probably 26 out Of 36 members of the Common
Council. The whole City Government. is, there.
fore, in their hands until the first of january 1885,
when the members of the Common Council will
be superseded by those elected under the new
Charter which we are glad to say has been adopted
by large majority Mr.. Woodruff, the Mayor
elect, will hold his office until the LIST Of January
1851"
VoTE ON THE New CHARTER.-At last accounts
the vote on the new Charter for the city of New
York had not been counted.
