TIE 1NrBaxHTs in tho city cemeteries last week
numbered 13s. Not case Of yellow fever was re.
ported, though we see by papers from abroad that
the fever has been prevailing extensively hero for
some time.
TIE ELECTION Of yesterday, though unusually
peaceab!e and quiet, ss 9 general thing, was still
characterized at several of the precincts by some
Incidents Of decidedly rough and bloody character
As far as we could ascertain the incidents were as
follows:
General Lewis, the Superintendent OF Elections,
was fsticufed at Poll No. 2, Seventh Precinct, by
some men who it is said were engaged in upsetting
and breaking the tables on which the Independent
election tickets we're placed The stories of the affair
conflict very much, and we are unable to 20 into
any particulars with certainty. The General was
soon afterward arrested by policeman, who charged
him with fighting and disturbing the peace. Being
taken to the police Office, he was Immediately re-
leased.
Mr.. G. De Choiseul was beaten at the poll on Com
mon street, near Charity Hospital. Robt. johnson
was afterward arrested, charged with having made
the assault, and released on bail by Recorder Sum-
nners.
At about the time the polls closed, the lastmen.
toned poll was visited by several carriage loads of
members Of the Independent party, who sprang out
with revolvers to take johnson, who had returned
to the poll, and another man named McMickle John
son escaped through the back part of the engine
house McMickle, however, having no friends to
back him, quietly surrendered, and was taken down
to the Parish Prison and there locked up. On what
authority he was arrested by what means his cap
tors put him in prison, have not discovered The
independents they reported were after johnson and
McMickle as the men who had upset their tables and
attacked Gen. Lewis and Mr.. De Choiseul In the
evening, Recorder Summers went down to the prison
and released McMicke.
Twougy affairs happened at the poll at the corner
OF Carondeet and Perdido streets In the afternoon
before the poll closed, VIM. Evngton, "a policeman,
but not on duty the Superintendent Of Elections hav
ing dispensed with police service around the pos)
had difficulty with Sam Wire, who drew pistol and
shot him in the face the bullet grazing his cheek and
ranging past bis eye up to his temple not wounding
him seriously. Wire Immediately surrendered himself
at the police Office but after while Evngton sent
request for his release, and the request was complied
with, the entry on the book being marked "null."
The other a6ray at the above poll was between L.
Mccall and Charles Reeves, and occurred at the close
OF the poll. Mccall drew knife and cut Reeves
several times across the arm. Reeves drew pistol
and shot Mccall in the thigh. Reeves and his friends
rushing at him, Mccall fled down Perdido street and
along St. Charles, wheeling and firing at bis pursuers
as he ran, and Reeves firing at him. During the
chase one of the pursuers threw bowieknfe at Nc
Call; the blade of it struck him in the back of his
head inficting bloody wound. Before the crowd
caught up with Mccall, Lieut.. Dryden nterfered and
probably saved his life by arresting him and taking
him to the lookup None of the Others were arrested
The thing, as matter of course created all sorts of
an excitement along Perddo and ST. Charles streets
We heard of several private fist-Gghts and knock
downs, of which we have not particulars enough to
justify an attempt at details. The only affair we wit
messed personally, in our rounds, was at the Common
street poll. Jack Sarver, an ex-policeman, got
knocked down, and on jumping up, busted. We did
not know the man who struck him
POLICEMAN CARRAGEY, of the Third District, un-
dertook to arrest two men who were fighting on the
levee on Sunday night. In so doing be was knocked
down by some other man. He jumped up and drew
his revolver, which, as it from his pocket, dis
charged one barrel, and shot and wounded an IN.
known man who was standing by. Carragey, not
knowing he had hurt any one, succeeded in arrestinp
the fighters, with the aid of other police who had
come at his CALL 1t not until his return from the
lookup that he discovered he had wounded man :
and then he Immediately returned to the lookup and
surrendered himself The wounded man proved to be
P. Mckee, and the ball had entered his breast dan
gerously. Sergeant Ducoing took him to Charity
Hospital, and yesterday Recorder Long went to take
his affidavit; Carragey meanwhile remaining in du
rance.
THOMAS McCAY was shot in the breast by some un
known person on Sunday night, on Levee street, be-
tween Vaudeville and Spain. He was taken to the

cred dangerous.
