THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.

We are unable to give the'precse particulars or
the figures of yesterdays election. Some Of the
Commissioners sent in memoranda of the vote at
their different precincts, and some did not, prob
ably thinking that the public had no right to know
the result.
Crowds assembled at the Mayors office, but re-
ceved little or no satisfaction. Those lists which
were sent along with boxes were read to the
people present; but as none of the boxes were
opened, and as they were all piled up and locked
up together, and the Office closed, the soveregns
of the streets had to imbbe the excitement solely
| from the verbal reports floating on the streets
There has never, perhaps, been an election in
this city in which there were SO many departures
from straight tickets, and splitting and scratching
of tickets. We must say that the election, though
| there were some fracases ending in knockdowns,
some drawing of knives and pistols, and one man
stabbed at one Of the voting precincts, was still
more orderly and quiet, as general thing, than
any election We have had for some years.
Not having the figures, we can only offer the
| general results Of the election showing that is
pretty much of an offset between the American
and Citizens tickets prominent candidates on both
being elected.
