/ sUNDAY IN NEW ORLEANS.
+, The day was bright aud glorious. few clouds
l lay in the heavens, which ever and anon shielded
tue earth from the rays of the sun, and gave the
fresh South breeze full plsyg The whole city was
| on the hIove Sunday, great holiday on usual
occasions, was yesterday the prince of holidays
None but weak or decrepid remained within doors;
aud even these lay next the open caseiuents to
| gaze at the moving masses OF mortality which
cruw0ed the sidewalks.
lhe encatnpInent of the Vigilants was the CEN
tire of atractloa, and the four grand avenues lead
lug to the fortlficaIlUus were black Tor Squares.
The ladies seemed to have grown more hola the s
promenaded with their escorts, aud gratifed their
curiosity by pcerng the barIicades aud gazing
into the very mouths of the cannon. Nurses, with
their little children charges, prevented from bav

fearlessly until heir little hooped dresses brushed
the sentinels some of whom good aatnrediy beid
them up In their arms to see the war doings inside
0ne lttie fellow, with eagle eye aud brown curls
broke away from his mother aud clambered up on
the stone barrlcade, and said he wanted sword To
hight, and nothing buf his extreme youth prevent
I'd his being Nlgiiant on Sue spot.
During the day squads sent out in the
Second District, ON various duties, bat night clos
ed in without anything of any par ticular import
having transpired.
Eetween 1U aud IL O'Clock, Messrs Clark, Roulig-
ny aud Henry Parker, who sleep III the Court
House buildings, approached the lines OF the vigi

aud discharged, and but that they lodged around
the corner they would have been Killed.
Acting Mayor Ii. Nj. Summers, visited the en-
Any thing. The opposition kept possession of
Lafayette square, aud Lad cannon pointed down
each street which approached the City Hall.
ELECTION DAY.
Shortly after ociock. just after the voting be-
gan i'll the different pcl!lng places, shower of rain
fell, which somewhat danpened the ardor of
political dIsputants. The Vigilance Committee
sent cut in squads their registered voters. They
halt some distance from the polls, and go up one
by sae.
al off ha
big guns were drawn out Of Lafayette Spare, and a
salute was fired by the triumphant party. The
Mayor, elect, then addressed those assembled in a
neBt, otf-handed manner, aliudiug with spirit to
the difficulties which had been come during the
brie but important camp paign lie Hecongratulated his
friends at their success under such disadvantage
uus circumstances, assuring them that they had
succeeded by proving that they were the law and
orier party. lie councelled them to show becom-
ing masnanimlty III their success, aud to preserve
unstained the laureis they had won. They had
nothing. he assured theui, to tear Fl ON the down
town camp, aud his advice was that they should
retire to their homes in peace, and enjoy the
quiet repose which they SO much needed after
their arduous exertions
The majority of Mr.. Stith is 590 bat that for the
American candidate for Street Commissioner in
considerably less The American candidates for
recorders of the First, Third ard Fourth Districts
were elected and in the Second District the vote
Tor Recorder is quite close, and the impression is
that the independent candidate MIR. Emile Hiltz,
is elected. The independents also supposed
20 have elected three Assistant Aldermen. For
the full result, however, we must await the open
Ing OF the boxes, when official returns will be pub
lished.
WHY THE VIGILANTS WERE DEFEATED.
The New Orleans Delta after the election, says ::
The want, too. of al efficient executive commit
tee severely felt. No Independents tickets
were to be had until after nine o'clock, at any of
the precincts, though the polls were opened at 5
o'clock. BY this We lost many votes
Again, an impression prevailed that the polls
would be kept open till suudown, and many mer-
chants deferred acting until after dinner under this
delusive opinion.
iakiug lulo consideration the disorganzed state
of the several committees aud the other facts We
have hastily sketched and the partial success we
nave obtained, think that there is every reason
to hope that the city dynasty about which We have
so often complained, has seen, in yesterday eiee
zion its last success.
And for the present we only hope that the
newly elected Mayor will endeayor TO select good
police. and make tor himself the good reputation
| his friends predict.
