Weshave not heard whether the Washington
"Plugs'' went down or.not, but whether they
did or not, makes very little difference We
are told by q Wheeling gentleman, who was in
Baltimore on that day, that among all bald
shams ever gons through with in the shape of
an election, that vote on that day seemed totake
the lead he spoke Of it as gross farce, even
for Baltimore.
The Baltimore Exchange, in sreyiew Of the
subject, says:
The truth is, that there was no Election on
Wednesday, nor even the form or, pretense of
one. From the opening ofthe polls in the morn
ing until their closing in the evening in nineteen
wards OF the city, they were occupied and held
by bands of armed bullies who, with compare
lively few exceptions, as the returns will show,
permitted nobody to vote who did not openly
show and as openly vote the "American" ticket.
That ticket, moreover, was SO marked upon the
back with blue chequered or diamond-shaped
pattern, resembling that upon the back of an
ordinary playing=card, that, however folded, it

ruthans who guarded every avenue to the polls
were enabled to tell at glance whose votes
might be admitted, and whose were to be cx-
cluded. Not content, however, with excluding;

from two thirds to three fourths of the whole

could resort, were successfully employed for the
purpose of electing Mr. Swami.
TIE Scalpel, through its Paris correspondent,
furnishes the following Interesting description
of Ricord, probably the greatest living physi-
clan in the world: He was at the bedside of

rather thick voice to his clinique who crow
ded around him; he finished his remarks with a.
low and suppressed laugh, and his servants
scattered, and had view of the man. Ina

forehead and temples, over which ran heavy
blue veins, and crows foot wrinkles, heavy
dnderjaw, and thick underlip, make his face
one that could scarcely pass unncticed His
eye had but little animation. Its fire seems to
have burned out, but his wit is brilliant as
ever. He evidently prides himself much on
this power When he was making his observa-
ton of patient, his eyes started from his head
and rolled around, but seemed to fix upon no
object, and his remarks on a case were frequent
~ interspersed with EXPLANATIONS and short
sayings, calculated to produce laugh. He is
a great actor, and his vast knowledge in all de-,
partments of science would have made him
conspicuous in any profession. Although he is
anative of America, being born in America, it is
said he seldom or never mentions the subject. !.
