Tall Crowing.-There was an exhibition of
fowls in the hall the Metropolitan Institute, OPP
posite to Browns Hotel, on Friday and yesterday.
Only ten cages Of birds. and they of the chicken
family, including popular foreign species, were
displayed for inspection and admiration. Not
pure native American among the collection.
When we entered the room the roosters seemed
10 be engaged in Growing contest. One would
exercise his vocal powers if his throat would
split. and directly after rival would break down
in the effort 10 excel his lordly predecessor; but
the Shanghia's loud and long prolonged notes, ac-
compan:ed by degree of hoarsness or croaking,
were pronounced preferable to any other descrip-
tion of fowl music; but for part. if we have
any choice, we would rather decide in favor Oft
native chantcleer, although we cannot say that
we are exlravaganty fond Of such explosions.
II was faceousy said that some of our young
politicians had been at the exhibition practising
with the Shanghais in order to be well attuned
by the time the result of the election is announced
tomorrow night but we rather suspect that crow

horse and buggy having disappeared from GER
tain stable during the following night, it is sus-
pected that the convicts rode away like gentle
men! Police officers, watchmen, and others, have
made general exploration Of the city, but with
out obtaining the least trace to their where
abouts.
A citizen, while passing over Fourteenth street
bridge, on Friday night, at eleven o'clock, was
stopped by two individuals disguised in female
dress, who asked and obtained from him chew
oftobacco! The one being taller than the other,
and both of the masculine gender undoubtedly,
suggested to the citizen that he was in company
with Camper and Alexander. Therefore, as soon
as he left them he gave information 10 Captain
Birch, who dispatched posse in pursuit; but
the errand was in vain. In our ropinion, however.
it is not likely snch skillful villains would have
thus exposed themselves in the public streets on a

The Election, tomorrow, will probably be the
most exciting one which has ever occurred in our
city's history-a period of more than half a CEN
tury The opposing forces are making every effort
for success the against the other but we fer
vently hope that, as heretofore the canvass will
pass without leaving regret beyond the mere de-
feat Of candidates.
Both parties, we learn. will have their vigilani
committees at the polls, in larger numbers than
formerly and hence we may anticipate good
deal Of challenging OF votes
Two years ago, three thousand eight hundred
and nineiy-one votes We're cast. From present
indications there will be more than five thousand
tomorrow.
We are acquainted with gentlemen who prefer
TO be absent from the city that day, rather than
be within the range of the election excitement.
The polls will be opened AT the following places:
First ward Justice Drury's Office, opposite the
six buildings, Pennsylvania avenue; second ward,
store room Of S. R Sylvester, corner of Eleventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue; third ward, al
the house Of J. Ferguson, corner Of Ninth street
