had hoped that the election yesterday would nave
been one of the most quiet that ever was hela III
this city, and the orderly manner IN which matters
were conducted during the early part OF inc uay
seemed to indicate that the hope was well Iouhue.
Unfortunately noon approached, an excitement
commenced at the Eighteenth Precinct, having ITS
ergiu AS VIC learn, in contest Tor precedence III
approaching the polls. Major Henry Bia'ze, zone
of the officers of the German Military Companies
who assumed q championship on the Democratic
side struck one of the Americans and thereuPon
half dozen revolverS were drawn on MN. lie
started to rum and some eighteen or twenty shots
were fired at him. One bullet took effect IN MS
thigh another in his foot, and third passed across
his breast We counted eleven shots in board
fence, all of which had been fired at B!aize
Soon after several fights ensued, and among 9th
erS E. ID. White, city contractor, was oauIy oea-
ten and wounded
The next difficulty occurred at the Twentieth
Precinct. How it commenced we could not ascer-
TAIN but of the bloody issue We are certain "A
man named Antoine Feier, native of Franco, VINO
had his naturalization papers in his hand, was stab
bed in the centre of the abdomen by somebody
who we could not ascertain. His friends put him
in a cab, and conveyed him to a Charity Hospital:
but he was dead before he arrived there. An m
quest will be held over his body to-day, or as soon
witnesses can be procured.
Towards evening DIR. oherrer, VINO kept dr
store the of Greatmen and St Ferdinand
street, was fatally wounded by pistol shot at the
polling booth of the Twentieth Precinct 1t Is SAID
that he went to the poll with his naturalization pa
pers in hand and pistol in the other, and that,
being opposed by American he fired at him and
wounded him in his arm. The American then re-
turned the fire. and the shot proved fatal. The de-
ceased had occasionally been subject to hts OF IN
sanity.
A man named Antoine was also shot in his leg:
several shots were also fired at James Boylan while
he was on horseback and a German was stabbed or
wounded in his face.
Towards II O'clock P. NJ, party of men broke
into the Ninth Precinct and DESTROYED the balotbox,
with its contents. There is said to be Democratic
majority of 60 or 70 in this precinct
At midnight crowd-probably the same one
that destroyed the balot-box in the Ninth Precinct
forced their way into the enginc-house where the
inspectors of the Seventh Precinct were engaged IN
counting the votes They at once forced the inspec-
tors and clerks to retire. when they seized upon the
balotbox and utterly destroyed both and Its bal
lots. There were in this Precinct S94 votes cast.
and previous to the destruction of the box it had
been ascertained that the Democratic majority on
the State ticket was 212
Thd Trne Delta of the 10th has the following:
How LONG ARE RRuFFIANs TO RULE THE CITY 1T
is we believe. well known to every person in this
community that since Monday last band of Thugs
hold undisputed sway after shutdown in this city,
and that no decent man, even if ne can prove that
he was Graded within view OF Mount Vernon, can
consider his life safe for moment from the attacks
of the bulies, if he don't hurrah for Sam" If an
honest Waterman attempts to interfere he is either
assassnated on the spot, or kicked and beaten like
dog, as was the case few lights ago. when watch
man Take was nearly killed, on Perdida street. for
endeavoring to prevent gang of the shoulder
strikers" from breaking open house. The leader
of the gang in that instance is well known to the
police, yet thus far arrest have been made.
On Thursday night Alderman Durrell, while go
ing into Hollis on Gravier street. in company with
several gentlemen was insulted and abused by a
gang who we're there at the same time, and after
leaving the house in company with his friends he
was knuckled ard brough; to the curbstone rath-
unceremOn:ously. No one, of course, knew who
the dexteTous operator was. The reasons assign
ed by the outsiders for the operation on Alderman
Dure, was. that he joined the know-Nothing Or

on Monday last. 1t is useless to enuurerate the
acts of violence nightly perpetrated by the rowdies

We know that there are many members Of the
Know Nothing party in this city who repudiate and
abhor these horrible outrages much do,
and are anxious that the perpetrators should be
brought to justice, but until there be united effort
by the good men of all parties put them down,
we see no other alternative left than adopt the
California rule-tO consider society dissolved and
each man become his protector. AS things

and the only problem to be solved is, whether or
not ruianism is to reign triumphant in the queen
city of the South. 1t is full time that all men, of
whatever shade of politics. religion or nationality
should take the matter into serious consideration.
The Pcayune, of the same date, has the follow
lowing version of the attack on Alderman Dure:
MORE VIOLENCE BLooD.-The rule of blood
and brutality is not yet ended With the return of

one of the coffe-houses that street. in company
with Dr. Dalton and MIR. Chas Lee, when certain
