SCENES ABOUT TOWN.
AT THE BELLEvERETT HEADQUARTERS

AT THE HEADQUARTERS.
At an early hour in the evening select band of the
faithful had gathered hear the glad tings of great
10Y. Their number received accessons at intervals,
and by 8 o'clock the long, low-roofed room was quite
filed with mongre, throng Of gentlemen, working
men, boys, and loafers, which well represented the
fusion Of discordant elements Of which their party is
composed The atmosphere of the ROOM redolent with
tobacco smoke and bad bresths, and heated by the
numerous gas lights and the animal warmth of the
macs of bodies, became utterly unsupportable The
preparation streamed from the unfortunates at every
pore, and the damps gathering on their brOws were
significant forerunners of those clammy sweats which
must attack them on reading the news this morning.
Near the platform the crowd was packed 30
densely that at time it WAS rumorsd the floor might
give way. This put an effectus stop to the stamping
which had previously followed the publication of each
favorable return. When orr reporter entered the
Chairman was delivering himself of come direfally
facetious remarks upon the absolute defeat of Black
Republicansm, his uttersnce being 60 thi ikened by
numerous poa'ions that the words tumbled ont with
mps,uous incoherence. After frequent appeals to
:" dry up, and calls for song he said that he had
been working for the Union night aud day for the last
six weeks and if the audience would please excuse
him for few minutes (roars Of laughter) he would
retire, and return with renewed vigor to per-
form bis duties. The audience kindly consented,
and Mr.. Chairman soped, after introducing
ex-Alderman Larue. This worthy uncovered
hs noble brow. made convul,iye dash at
his hair, and in a sepulchral tone commenced
with the stsrsotyped feller-citizens.' He said he
hailed from Illinois ard had positive assurances that
that State would roll up 10000 majority for Douglas
He lad bet 5000 the election in this city, and was
prepared to put up check for $3.50 600 10 bet with any
Black Republican. The victory was fit and won and
the archaDgls above then singing praises the
defeat CT Black Republicanism. Hear, hear, aud
cheers He had no choice Of candidates, go long as
Old Abe was defeated Illinois, by the Eternal, would
never vote the Republican ticket. Uproarious ap-
plause
How long this Iibsld oratory would have
continued we cannot tell, but the ex-Alderman was
suddenly quenched in the yels of the audience, as
messenger came in with returns. The temporary
Chairman here announced shat although the returns
not complete, he could congratulate his friends
that Connecticut the strong hold of Black Repubi-
canism, had given a majority for Fusion I"
This high.colored statement was received with
tremendous cheering, and shortly afterwsrd when it
was announced that Burlingame was defeated there
such hurricane of applause that seemed 1t
must raise the roof. Hats were waved overcoats,
hats and caps thrown high in air. and cheers cstcss
aud wild Indian yells mingled In confusing clamor
for the space of five minutes. The returns from the
several wards were brought in quick succession by
special messengers and each favorable was cheered
10 the echo. The brethren publicly expressed anxi
ETY. to know what The TRIBUNE would say this
morning, and there end of condolences on the
utter extinguishment Of our swsrthy host" As early
as ten o'clock and consequently before the oficia
returns could possibly have been received the following
maoresfo for Fusion had been announced, and honorsd
with three times three each: NewYork So 900 Fusion
majority; New Jersey ,OOoi Jersey City 900; Albany
