Late Elections.

CINCINNATI, OHIo.--We learn from the Cincin-
natl Commercial that the votes for two Justices Of
the peace were kept in separate boxes and were not
destroyed by the mob in the II tn and 18th wards
The vote in the whole city for those two officers
is therefore complete, and is supposed to show the
true strength of the contending parties 1t is as
follows:
Democrat Knop- Nothing.
lindsey 9,066 Nelson ~ 8. 236
Bray 1851 Stackhouse ! 1875
"Messrs. Chidsey and Nelson were on the
Citizens Ticket and hence they both ran ahead
OF their party strength. The vote for the other
two approaches something like test, and shows
an anti-Know-Not hing majority of GIL The vote
IN the 18th and 18th wards, in which the ballots
for city officers were destroyed was as follows
For Justices--llth ward, Democrat, I,o72, Know.
Nothing 220; 18th ward, Democrat e34 Know
Nothing 29l total, Democrat zoos, Know-No-
thing oil. In the other fifteen wards, Faran
(Democrat for Mayor, has 1865, and Taylor
Sknow-Nothing,) 1880. Adding the vote for
Justices above given, indicating the probable
vote for Mayor the totals will stand Faran 1871,
Taylor 8,34l. Majority against the Know Nothing
candidate 1,04e."
The Commercial denies that the ballot-box in
the 9Th ward was destroyed on account of Illegal
voting II was in charge Of three judges and two
clerks, all Of whom, except one judge, belonged TO
the American party. The discrepancy between
the number of names recorded and the votes In
the box was only four or five, which is said to be
no uncommon thing.
ST.. LOUIS, MrssoURr-The municipal election
at St Louis on the I'd instant was conducted with
order and quietness. There was no undue excite
ment no drunkenness, no rioting. The Ameri-
cans were generally victorious, having elected all
their nominees but two-the City Marshal and
City Treasurer They elected Mr. Washington
King to the Office of Mayor by large plurality.
The number Of votes received by him is 4,264
John Hogan, (whig,) received 1000, and j. H.
Lightner, (dem.,) s,i7l.
FLoRrDA Is CoSrSei--At Jacksonville, on the
I'd Of April, Phillip Fraser Esq, the American
candidate, was elected intendant by a majority Of
as votes over all opposition. The six councilmen
of the same party received similar majority. We
learn that Mr. Fraser is an old line Democrat--or
rather Vas-and that his opponent was one of the
most popular Democrats in jacksonville.
Americans in the " land Of flowers, believe that
AmerieGns shaH rule Americai
This result says letter to the Savannah Repub-
Hcan, sstonishes everybody. Why should III L.
not Samivel ubiquitous and omniscioust
LOUISVILLE, April Z, 1885.
The election here il progressing quietly. Barbee,
the Know-Nothing candidate for Mayor, Is without
a doubt elected. Speed, anti Know Nothing and
the present incumbent, refused TO run on the
ground that his term Of Office had not expired.
The Know-Nothings viii most probably carry the
city by Urge majority.
ANOTHER VIcroRr.--An election for municipal
officers in Indianapolis, Indiana, resulted in tho
success of the whole Know Nothing ticket over
that Of the Sag NIGHTS by about three hundred ma.
