Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1860-10-10

The sun yesterday morning rose bright
and beautiful and throughout the day
the city was canopied by sky as
| calm and blue as ever overhung our
lovely valley. In every respect, and
in the fullest sense of the term, the
weather was delightful. The air was soft
and yet invigorating, and its balmy kisses
seemed to successfully invite the entire
population into the streets. Our fashiona-
BILE promenades were thronged with ele-
gantly-dressed women, and the day seemed
to have been made for the express purpose
Of wOoing persons to the polls.
The excitement in various parts of the
city was intense. At some of the voting
places, although large crowds were at all
the balloting passed off very quietly, but at
others, party feeling ran very high. Com
paratively, taking the whole city into con-
sideration there was less disturbance than
usual but there were nevertheless numerous
broils, ARRAYS fights, resulting in some in
stances quite seriously, although in none,
we believe, were any of the parties arrested.
We subjoin an account of the more SAN
culinary disturbances.
MAN STABBED IN THE NINTH WARD.
A man named John Murray, who resides
in Dublin-street, became involved in diff
Guilty in acoffee- -housei in the Thirteenth Ward
House in SycamoIe-street, near Abigail, and
was stabbed in the back. The wound is rep
resented as quite painful, although not dan
gerous. The row seemed to be general, and
several persons whose names we were unable
to learn, were more or less injured.
sTABBING AFFRAY IN wATER-sTREET.
A man named Lawrence Perry became
very drunk and abusive in crowd in Water
street, between Walnut and Main, last even
ing about six o'clock, when row occurred,
during which he was very severely beaten
by couple of FOUNDERS" and stabbed twice.
One wound is quite slight, being in the
feshy part of the arm, but the other is in the
thigh, and much more painful and severe.
MAN SHOT IN CENTRAL-AvENUE.
About nine o'clock yesterday morning
William Boyle made bet with an acquaint-
ance in Central-avenue near Melancthon-
street, during political discussion. Words
ran high and at length became personal,
when Boyle knocked his opponent down, He
was then seized by some 6ystanders, when
his adversary, whose name we could not
learn, rose, and deliberately drawing pis-
tol, shot him in the right side. Luckily the
ball glanced on his ribs, but it nevertheless
made painful and dangerous wound. The
would-be homicide escaped and has not since
been seen.
SHOOTING AFFRAY IN DEER-CRREK VALLEY.
A man named Stephen Burman, during q
discussion in one of those miserable dog
geries in the extreme eastern portion of the
Thirteenth Ward, was shot in the side with
out apparent or immediate cause, by some
unknown person. The ball lodged in the
side and was extracted by DR.. Morrison with.
out difficulty. The wound is not likely to
| prove fatal.
CUTTING ARRAY NEAR THE BRIGHTON HOUSE
At a German beer-saloon in the neighbor-
hood of the Brighton House, yesterday af-
| in difficulty, which resulted in q serious
injury to both. One received q wound from
| knife, which extends from the left nipple

| MANS SKULL FRACTURED IN THE SEVENTEENTH
WARD.
A man named Ellis, residing in the
Seventeenth Ward, had his skull fractured
in a tavern during an affray The fpht
originated in political discussion, and
glasses, bottles, chairs, and numerous other
weapons were used indiscriminately. 1t is
thought he was struck with a bottle but il
is not known by whom.
MISCELLANEOUS INCIDENTS.
A broil occurred, last evening, at the cor
ner Of Second and Smith-streets, during
which a man named Henry O'Hayly was
shot in the foot by another named James
Bush. All the parties were drunk, and
when Bush fired, some one had presence of
mind sufficient to strike his arm-otherWise
the shot would have proved fatal.
George Gregg, steamboatman, became
involved in quarrel, about noon yesterday,
in Front-street, above Lawrence, when he
was struck with club, which fractured his
arm. Two or three others, in the same row,
were more or less severely injured.
We heard, during the day and evening, OF
numerous other broils and fights, but these
are the principal ones. The city, which was,
as we have said, comparatively quiet during
the day, became more and more noisy in the
evening. The newspaper offices were be-
sieged at an early hour by an eager and ex-
sand throats in our immediate vicinity are
believing as though they were used by
madmen.
