democratic successes seemed overwhelming.
The Buccaneers were in high spirits perfect
ly intoxicated with their luck One Of the
upteriied created immense mernment by
giving the following advice in high tone
Il say you Fremont men, all you've got to
do is just to go home and lick your wives l
guess you've had enough of election by this
time" 1t would be easy to fill column
with remarks such as these. We give one
or to as specimen of the good feeling
prevailing though the laugh was much
more on one side than the other The crowd
fingered about the HERALD OFFICE until the
small hours of the morning, and tie non
reception Of further returns seemed scarcely
sufficient to drive them off, or put q stop to
the ibes and jeers Of the multitude.
The Quiet of the City Last Night.
With the exceptions of occasional out
bursts of patriotic feeling on the part of the
unterifed, nothing occurred to disturb the
tranquility Of the city last night. The Off
GERS in command at the different station
houses, telegraphed to the Chiefs office 'al
quiet" at IL 1-2 o'clock. The Streets in the
lower part of the city, particularly in the
neighborhood Of the HERALD OFFICE and
Tammany Hall wore quite an animated ap-
pearance until the time of our going to press.
The democracy never appeared in better
spirits and offered the most extravegant bets
on Buck and Breck. The Fillmore men and
Fremonters had but little to say in regard
to the contest, and manifested but little dis
position to make heavy bets on the success of
their respective candidates.
