Among the votes for the mayoralty q considerable
number were found to be for Alfred Carson-u one
district many twenty votes Several votes were
also recorded for Jenny Lind, for The same Off co.
There is a difficulty about the election fr the
Nineteenth ward The act Of the Legislature creating
Nineteenth ward out Of part OF the Twelfth provides
that the persons elected reside at tho time of
their election In that section of the old Twelfth which
is now the Nineteenth. 1t appears, however, that
neither the Alderman nor Assistant Alderman elected
reside in the Nineteenth ward but In the present
Twelfth ward. There is also ano her difaculty It'll
uncertain whether the Alderman and Assistant Alder
man elected for the Nineteenth ward enter upon
the duties Of their Office now must wait till the be-
ginning Of the new year.
The question has been raised whether Mr. James
Brooks of the Express who is elected to Congress

fishes statement to show that BROOKS his cleo
ion the Union party and tho support OF Mr. George
Law and other bunker democrats. The following Is
the comparison of votes given to whig candidates In
the district represented by Brooks from
which It will be SEEN that he below them all, In
his district and is beaten by anti renter

TIE SILVER G.AYs-A NEW FAIrY NAME.
The State Of New York has been remarkable in coin
ing for political parties Men of the last gene
ration will remember the designations Of Lewisites
Guilds Clintonisns Burrites, Goodies, Bucktails and
Martlng men. In more modern times, We have oriSi-
mated In this city and State tho party OF Ma
tionsl Republicans, working men, Fanny Wright men
wings Locoiocos, ank and File, Conservatives, Hun
kers, and Barnburners. We have now, IL spears TO
add to the list the party designation Of" Silver Grays"
This name at the late convention OF national
wings Utica when the lion Francis Granger prssi
dent Of that convention In q speech made the
sion declared that IL would be his pride TO In the
ranks Of the silver Grays." MIR. Granger did not
explain Why he gave that name to his folio but
IL Is generally supposed TO apply to the cslor of his
hair and that other Of the nationals in that
conv,ntion-ssy Messrs 10 Hoxie Hasbrouck, Duer,
Carroll and others.
The silver greys,n have thus far proved themselves
feeble people having only aided In the triumph Of
Seward and Weed. without exactiag even the usual
guis pre- guo.. Greeley said Of them that they
very nice party IL they did not winterkll to which
Hoxie replied in his speech at Utica, that he
thing about them that looked like being winter killed;
but he should not wopser II they should kill social
ism, Fourierism, and all other cursed isms.
As present advised 60 In for the silver grsys,
particularly end Weed attacks them In his last
Erering Journei. accusing them OF treachery and
ether political sins. The following are specimens
