Fifth Wayd.-In the star of Yesterday we gave
a pretty full description of the disorder which
took place at this Ward. The only afray as far
as we could hear, which occurred after the close
OF our report, was that in which man-whose
name we did not learn, was badly beaten on
Sixth street, near Virginia avenue The sneciaI
police and two of the Marshal's posse came To
his rescue, but before they could arrive to his as

Strth Ward We learn that some diminishing

diter our report closed but il not of a ser Gus
character, no one having been injured Loud
complaints Were made about marines not en-

RIooi, however, of the truth of this statement
Tie mounted police stationed at the polls in this
ward, as well as in the Fifth Ward, were very
Vlgllant. and deserve great credit The conduit
OF some OF the special police was also deserving
OF appreciation while other members of the force
showed themselves extremely bigo.ed, partial
aud unit for their duties. During the evening
there was in the Fifth aud Sixth Wards good
deal OF shouting around the bonfres in the streets,
bat no disorderly conduct deserving of notice
SsrexfA Wharf.-The Second Precinct of this
ward was again visited by the same crowd
which we noticed Yesterday, in the afternoon
after our report closed. Their arrival was the
cause OF partial dispersal of the voters at the
polls, but was not attended with any violence
The mounted police were made aware Of their
presence, and came to the post OF danger in time
TO find out that their services had not been re-
quired. The First Precinct also received a sim
liar visit, but nothing tranSpired worthy of no.
lice There Is only one cause of complaint
among the voters of this ward and that Is that
the polls should have been visited by the gang
alluded TO. as they succeeded in breaking up the
pacific arrangement pre-existent for short time,
ana caused some persons of be. h political creeds
to lose their votes, as they Were either unwjll-

some members OF the special police were like

cannot accuse them of partality so far as we wit

The Procession
The main incident OF the evening was the pro-
cesslon and its Incidents, one, at least, OF which
was disgraceful and humiliating to a very large
proportion of the successful party This process
sion commenced in the Sixth Ward about ten
p. IN and was accompanied by banners trans
parencles and music, and jubilant with shouting
Ii proceeded pretty direct 10 the residence OF the
Mayor elect, and in passing in front of the Star

Some half dozen heavy stones were thrown in
the windows of Mr.. Triplett's bindery, damap-

out OF the windows. An attempt Was also made
to get into the windows, we are told but the man
who was hoisted up was prevented from getting

The dastards who committed this outraoe-mav

near killing two good Democrats, and injured the
property of the Third to considerable extent

EXTRAORDINARY FREAK OF A BLIND HORSE
On Wednesday last, a blind horse which had
just previously been detached from a cart in
which he had been hard at work hauling bricks
all day, took fright and ran at a headlong pace
across Pennsylvania avenue. at a shot distance
east OF the Capitol; when he arrived at the side
opposite that from whence he started, he encoun-
tered a tree box, which he tore down together
with the tree inside il, IA sapling some six
inches through al the trunk.) This act did not
impede his progress in the least, for he continued
straight ahead, and the next thing he encountered
was The fourteen inch wall of ID rough cast brick
