TIE CirY REDEKAisG fTs CHAgAcTgR.--The
election, yesterday, had one great redeeming
trait. and tina. was the absence Of the disgrace.
snl scenes heretofore enacted, 10 crowding up
the poll windows, and preventing voters from
approaching to deposit their ballots.
In the First Ward, the window was kept clear
bya number o. special policemen, and all
quarrelsome persons were kept at distance.
The Board Of Election Officers was headed by
WIN. Branch, Esq., and the majority inside
were Republicans. They facilitated voting a.
much "a possible, and at the same time gave
strict attention that there should be no double
o, Illegal voting.
In the Second Ward, Aid. MeGrorty appeared
10 be the Senior Of tho Board, assisted by
George Moore, OF the M,nnssot,an, and others
Of the Republican party. Every opportunity
was given TO challenge voters, and by the cree.
ton Of railing and barrier in front Of the win.
dow, allowing voters 10 20 In at one end and
come out at the other, there was no crowding
or rushing, and when voter was challenged,
he had either TO swear his vote In, or move
away o0t, 40 a. to allow others TO come up.
There was strong force Of special police on
tho ground, and all disturbances were nipped
promptly In the bud and IL Is satisfactory to
announce that the voting in the Second Ward
was accomplished In as quiet and orderlya
manner A. In any other ward Of the city, thus
redeeming its character from the odum OF pre-
vious election days.
The Third Ward, being branch Of the Second
Ward, 1t was apprehended, would be the scene
Of distur Dances, but we rejoice TO say, that
through the exertions Of Capt. Morton and his
force, at the polls, there was no disturbance,
aud nothing beyond what occurs at elections In
the most quiet rural Districts ,~t4ess the sasss
heavy vote Is poled.
In the Fourth Ward there was a full share OF
interest and excitement among the voters, but
nothing to injure tho reputation Of the Ward,
for quie. and respectable character, on cleo
ton day.
Altogether, we are proud Of our citizens, Of
oil classes, for the quiet manner in which the
election passed on Although party feeling ran
high, It did not degenerate, a. heretofore, into
III feeling.

the engine was finally discovered and it is
such q peculiar piece Of mechanism, that a
brief description may be Interesting. It stands
about six feet in its stockings, with q ruddy,

accent-and is but recently married. 1t is
easily attached to the crank Of Guernsey
Press, and the motion from its head to the pos

when in rapid motion the symptoms become
rather alarming. The face ssumes reddish
aspect, and the perspiration flows in profusion.

parts Of the city says that their filling up will
tend to good morals, in stopping tho profanity
Of tcamsters, whose loads have been sticking
in these holes every rainy spell for year. We
presume these loads that have remained stick
ing In one place 40 long, must have gone out of

or dry weather
Tug MAgRcr iIocsk. 1T appears by the re,

the dcte cncy in the market house collections,
waa not equal To the reality. The butchers
pledged themselves TO the city Council to pay,
In stall rent, tho amount Of tho rent OF the mar
