sOt I-SHELL PklNAhf EbE
The Primaries OF the Administration wing OF sh.'
Democracy passed eff with the usual quantity o
knock. downs and drag outs, and the consumption o.
much bad run-ths, great Democratic staple the
traffic in which Gov. Seymour protected by his veto
! lsst winter II will be perceived that the Custom
House and office-holding portion Of the Soil-Sheu
party with large sprnkling Of the members OF the
! prize-ring, figure conspicuously. In fact, We nay
say the pugl.tic section Of the Pierce and Seymour
party i largely and ably represented by somewhat
ilu.trious penonsges in police annals Dealers in
LIQUOR figure most in importance in this array OF oey
INQUIRIES. Ihese msy be divided into licensed aud
unlicensed porter house keepers and there IS pretty
fair sprinklipg OF dealers in fighting liquor in some
of the wards. The election Of slch large number
Of run sellers, suppose, is in pursuance OF the
principles enuscsted in the Veto Message of Gov
Seymour framed copy Of which is found in most Of
the grog-shops in the City.

but finally the Herrick men succeeded in expeIng
the opposing party. In the space of two hours the
combatauts succeeded in polling 1000 votes. The
crowd ascend ed was a hard one and the fighting
was desperate One man bad his finger cut off.
There were other Union and Harmony dongs of
similar character.
TyESTIErH WARD-No returns. Great excite
mept and hard fighting; one taken Off by the
police The Inspectors quarreled among themselves,
and refused to count the ballots One Of the Inspec
tors said he was perfectly willing to have them
counted. but his two associates would not do so in
his pr,scnce The ballot boxes were taken 10 the
House and scaled. The Seymour ticket is
supposed to be ahead. The police were roughly
banded.
TwESTY-rIRsr WARD-No opposition.
TwEsfY.sFcoSp W.Rp-The issue here Who'll
" confined to the liquor question, party prefer
ing the fighting article another, plain whisky, and
third which was successful by - majority decidedly
preferred Lager Beer" In the melee the Sage Of
Bloominedale, tie Hon Mr.. Sesgrist, had his pants
torn of and bis hards badly cut but as his friends
came off victorious it is supposed he will put up With
this slight accident in his usual philOsophic manner
| He was able however as an Inspector TO sign the
returns Of election.
Thus eEded the soft Primaries for Tammsny Dele
gates.
