Here and there solitary potulent individual, with
fimsy NeH- York Herald sticking from his pocket,
went bis uncertain way, either oblivious to every
thing. or gratifying his feeling by huzzahing for his
Bull Run Jimmy varying bis performance by bel
lowing suatches of political ballads. In many of the
streets bows gathered around their customary bon
fres fed by purloined ashboxes, barrels, wasbtubs,
nails and theater b-boards. In the police station
bouses gathered groups of men, anxious to hear the
resuts of the election but in which they were often
disappointed At the headquarters OF the various
political parties aud factions crowds assembled,
and in a quiet way talked over the chanceso OF
suecess of this or that ticket The lafest war news
was not forgotten but formed fruitful topic OF con-
yersa,ion. All agreed that the vote had been ex-
tremely leht that there great lack OF excite
ment; and that more orderly election they had
never witnessed. As the evening advanced poirti-
clans and friends, in light wagons, drawn by fast
naos or in close carriages visited the saon-houses,
and polling-paces with intent to learn the success
or defeat of their friends. As they received good
news, they vented their feelings by uproarious cheers,
was bad consolatory drink was resoned to; II
doubtful hopeful drink was all that could be taken.
At a comparatively early hour the poling.Places
were nearly deserted, the monotoDous tally OF
the canvassers and the heavy irregular snoring Oh
some half-intoxicated or worn-out watcher, being
the only evidences that the canvass was not yet
completed aud the polng-places not deserted.

the thieves and miscreants who were cheating the
moor soldiers wfes out of their husbands pay Good
men must be put in places of trust-(" Hurrah ior
