Notwithstanding tho great excitement which
prevailed throughout tho city yesterday over
the charter election, particularly in regard 10
the contest for Mayor, the general spirit was
ono Of order and but few breaches of the peace
or other disturbances occurred Ia the Eight-
oenth Ward, triliing row was created by the
humorous attempt Of one ficetious individual to
split the head Of another and oyerturn half a
dozen or more ballot boxes. In the first under
taking he succeeded, in the second he did not,
OF course no arrest was made; such a thin
would have been in direct opposition to tho ian.
cicnt and sacred rights AMI privileges Of tho
people a. Mayor Wood would say. In the
Sixth and First Wards, also, triAns "musses'
took place. The shower OF posters which for
some days past has ornamented the dead walls,
curh-atoncs and lamp posts, WAS increased by
numbcrlcss varieties of attack, rrjoinler, and
sur-rcjoindcrs Oh the regulations OF tho several
candidates.
The most effect however was created by
poster purrorting to be letters from Coz. Cor
coran and Archbishop Hughes hopinG that no
Irishman or good Catholic would vote for, or in
any way all Mayor Wood, the Prince Of wales
