Tn. r.mmanx society.

The election of Sachems In the Tammany So
ciety, last evening. indicated any thing but unan-
unity of sentiment among the members. We have
not received the report OF the tellers, but under
stand that no choice made, though the canvass
lasted until morning The point OF the contro-
yersy involves, as we mentioned yesterday, the SUI
premacy of one OF the two bodies now organized at
Tammany Hall, each Of which claims TO be the
Democratic Republican General Committee"
Two tickets were run; In favor OF the union OF
the Democracy and OF recognising ouly the regu.
lar General Committee, OF which Fernando Wood
Is Chairman; and the other disposed 70 encourage
the Sickles and Brady faction. and TO countenance
the pretensions Of the committee OF which Henry
NJ Western is chairman. Elijah r. Purdy, the
present Grand Sacbem, headed the first ticket and
The name Of eY- Mayor Mckle was placed at the
head of the other though we are informed that his
name was used without his authority, and that he
did not attend the election. The following were

A desperate effort was made 10 elect the ticket
upon which NJ. M. Noah and Cornelius y. Bogar
dus were placed which was generally regarded az
their ticket To that end many members Of the
society, who long since deserted the Democratic
party, and have not been in the habit OF attending
It's meetings were present willing 10 lend what aid
they might to distract the party, BY continuing n
double organization, and with that object voted the
Noah and Bogsrdus ticket. Among them were
Charles Il. Tappan, for many years Wing superin-
tendent Of repairs; Gcrret Forbes, the old Wing
collector of the Third ward, and since Harrison
inspector Of the customs; and John G. Morrison,
candidate for night inspector under Harrison.
These men are now Just as openly and decidedly
attached 10 the WING party as they ever were.
When il apparent that the whole or most
part Of the Purdy ticket was elected, Mr.. William
A. Douglass, who, with &. 3. Bogsrdus, were the
two inspectors in the interest Of the disunionists,
found three more Of the Noah tickets IN the ballot
box, which had previously been empticd, and In
that situation exposed 10 public view. Of course
the other two inspectors refused TO count these
tickets. IL they were counted, they would elect
six Of the thirteen Sachems-one less than major
ty on TINT tickct-snd the treasurer.
The present Grand Sschem, Mr. Purdy, received
ninety seven votes-scveral more than we're cast
for any other person either side. II any
body was elected, therefore, he was.
Till the result j. proclaimed, and successor
der the constitution OF the society. The result OF
the election being disputed. he very properly took
possession Of the books and papers Of The society
