The NINETEENTH WARD DISTURBANCE,
&c-ln narratng the occurrences at the polls OF the
Nineteenth Ward, our reporter committed grave
error III using the name of Mr.. Edwards IN such
manner as TO allow for the supposition that he
countenanced the proceedings of the row dies This
was an entire mistake as must have been apparent
to any one who knows Mr.. E. SO far from counte-
nancing rowdyism, he is well known to have been
favor of the opposite course, and he received the
votes of a large number of the most respectable
members of the Democratic party expressly on the
ground tina. he would do all that could be done to
put Gown that lawless sprit Of violence which was so
esrfuiy manifested In that and in two three other
Wards on the day of the Election. We have here
Edwards, and regret that by the blunder above ex-
planned We should have done him act of injustice
All parties agree in the statement that, whoever
may have been the instgators and actors in break
ing up the Election, the blame does not rest upon
Mr. f. or his friends
From the movements OF certain parties few days
prevoust to the lection. and the apparent thorough
understanding among the actors in the disturbances,
it is quite certain that the design was formed and the
rowdes hired and drilled beforehand. 1t seems that
the Opposition had determined If possible to elect
their Alderman, and, in consequence OF the spit IN
the Wing ranks, their chance appeared good'
About noon, however, this result became ex-
tremely doubtful, and just before the attack upon
the FIRST District poll 1t manifestly certain that
the Opposition candidate was in hopeless minority
What connection this discovery had with the de-
struction of the boxes which ensued Immediately
after will probably appear hereafter. Several per
sons have been arrested on charge of being con-
cerned iii the riot and is hardly possible tina! the
affair can now be hushed up or kept from legal IN
quiy.
The notices of wanton outrages perpetratcd IN
other parts of the City by the bancs of rowdies
whose names are terror to every peaceablc citizen,
will arrest the readers attention. and may prompt
the inquiry whether 1t is not time TO take some ehec
tive measures put end to these dsgrace'ul and
highly dangerous scenes. The increase OF roTdy-
ism, the frequency Of murders and murderous at
tscks, the open defiance OF law and justice, show
in frightful dis.inctness that our City is rapidly
approaching condition even worse than the wors
of south. western cities in the days of the Bowie
knife and Lynch law Is 1t not time to think serl-
ously and act decidedly
