LOCAL MATTERS.

The Election-The excitement at the polls
yesterday was intense-far exceeding that OF
any election within our memory The City
Hnll was crowded during the whole day, and
several fights eured, though no one was Sc
riously injured, as the combatants only used
the weapons provided by nature. About
mid day flag hoisted by the State Rights
party, inscribed with an extract from a speech
OF Mr.. Bolts, was torn down by some of his
friends, and the scene that ensued was in the
highest degree uproarious. Mr. Bolts mounted
a chair. and made a little speech ON the occa-
sion DENYING that he had ever uttered the
sentiment attributed 10 him. The flag was
again hoisted but after much confusion and
excitement, in which most fearful threats
were uttered. the Mayor interposed, and the
flag was finally removed.
At the upper ward polls we heard Of but
one collision, the parties to which We're placed
under arrest. The crowd was not so great III

Randolph. Steger and Robertson, State Righ Is
candidates, and Messrs Macfarland, johnson
Bolts and Gilmer, Union candidates. MI
Gilner withdrew from tho contest about mid
day. Messrs. Randolph, Johnson and Mac
farland were elected After the result was
announced at the City Hall, speeches were
made hy the delegates elect.

furnished with all extract from an answer
about to be filed i'll the Circuit Court of that
county at the suit of a well known New Or
leans Bank against prominent city banker

and doing business therein, and acknowledg-
ing allegiance thereto, and have abjured all
allegiance to the United States Of America
that said State OF Louisiana has seeded from

the plaintiffs, and I'll other persons who are
citizens of said State and doniciled therein
and acknowledging allegiance thereto, are
alien enemies of the United States of Ameri-
ca and OF the State Of Missouri, and have nc
right to maintain any suit i'll the Courts OF
the State of Missouri.
This defence, if persisted in to the last re-
sort, would carry the question of the right OF
State to secede to the Supreme Court of the
United States for settlement. Its prosecution
opens the door TO a variety of legal questions
