SEVENTH WARD.
Everytbipg throughout this Ward was entirely
quiet during the fore part of the day. There
every sppearA Of very light vote being cast.
The law was generally erfor ,ed in al its provisions,
and especially the number of liquor sOres shops
open and doirg business was very small. A stranger
passing through the Ward would be far likely to
think it an American Sunday in far more moral city
than New-York, than election day in this modern
BABEL. The new policemen are fne.looking set of
fellows, and were prepared to take part in much
stirring Get of than any that seemed thsn
likely to Occur. Nothing could work better than the
large numerical distribution of the poll districts.
In the afternoon the scene changed cons derablg as
to its peaeesbe aspect. A gang of physical-force
rowdies. who call themselves the Ha1lton-strees
Boys" consisting of Lishmen and portion of long
shoremen, the Of Iishmen, who may bs desig-
rated Irish Creoles, made onset upon the booths
of the Republicans ard Americans at the Second Poll
District, No. SO Msdison street, knocking them down
and retreatpg before any police force could be assem-
bed to arrest or resist them From this point they
proceeded in an organized band, and, as 1t proved
sfterwsrd, armed with clubs and slungshots which
they concealed, to the polls in District No B. at No.
70 Market street, and running down the hill at that
place osted against the booths Of the two adverse
parties to the Democratic and upset them. The
policemen detailed to attend the polls could not leave
their posts to make any attempt to arrest the dsurbers
OF the peace and had to look on at distance SerSt
Parks, Councilman Warner of the Iv.h District, and
TT eron Copeland of the police force were present. and
attempted the arreet of the rirgeaders of the row.
These fellows, however, resisted with violence. Po-
licemsn Copeland and Sergeant Parks brought their
baons to bear on the head of John Keefs Of the
aimed with snpg shot at Sergeant Parks, which bit
him on the front of the head, and would probably
have proved fatal had 1t not been warjel off by his
cap and the metal wreath in front of it. Other blows
were struck at Policeman Copeland, which proved
more ssrious A fellow known to the police but who
has hitherto escaped arrest, named Pendergast, To-
ficted upon him four five blows on the head,
amounting to very ugly scalp wound and confusion
of the brain FERROUS but not likely to prove fatal.
The fame fellow get hold Of Mr.. COpeands thumb,
and fairly chewed of his thumb nail in the most des-
perate and brutal manner. The melee then became
general Several of the butchers from the neighbor-
ing market took part with the policeman, but no ar
rests were effected, and the whole the rowdies held
the ard disconcerted the small police force the
ground.
Communication was then sent to the Police Station
House Of the Ward at the foot Of GoverGeur street.
TO actirg Captain Cameron, who dispatched de
tschment of twelve or fourteen men under the coon
msrd of Sergeant Bennett There arrived on the spo.
and succeeded in aTestii John Ksefs and taking
him to the Sation-Houss where his wounds were
dre,sed The rest the rioters took TO their heels
and ran like dogs
Policeman COPELAND was then removed TO the drug
store Of Mr.. Paris, conner of Market and Munroe
streets, where bic wounds were dressed and whence
he was nj in carriage to the Station House, he re-
using 10 be sent home. Fhi. efficient member of the
Metrtpo Police Is military Of excellent in
ellieer &c al information end in consequence of his
ilitsry knowledge bad been detailed to assist Capt
Waterbury in the military training ard instruction OF
the force, ard bad only been recalled to the Seventh
Wad to assist the force there through the day. He
is fine lrokng fellow, and evidently understands HIM
elf WELL He only regrets that the rules Of the SER
vice perverted him from bei,g armed with suitable
weapons Sergeant Ponk, in returning to the scene
e action prov ed bnself with revolver and was
we'll disposed to use it.
The mob as they came fl ,m the polls Of the Sc ond
to the polls of the Third District, estimated -
consist Of from lofty 10 fifty persons; but at one hne
not ess than from three to four hundred persons were
eppsged in the mus. When dispersed from the Third
District portion of the organized band OF row
dies returned second time to the votirg precinct In
the Secord Dstrict ard again upset the botths or
boxes of the Republican and American parties. In
doing so they threw heavy weight upon the head OF
child returning from school, and wounded il so
severely that was removed TO the came spothecarys
chop al duly cared for before sent to ss home
II seems that the immediate cause of this outbreak
i that while the Irish portion Of the Democratic party
in the ward voted the straight ticket for John Seey a.
Member Of the Assembly the American portion of the
some party preferred and were known to be voting for
the Fusion candidate, James A. Dolsu.
At the other polls of TIE Ward the quist that
prevailed was oppressive to airy one on the
qui rire for the usual excitement Of election
coy. In the Fourth District No. 90 Henry stree, the
appearance was that of Jews clothing store IN
Cfaihsm street. when there is desrth Of customers.
The Inspectors seemed hardly TO know wha.they were
