ELECTION DAY.

Yesterday was clear and pleasant Of recent year
an uIusuai circumstance FOR our Election Day. II
tho afternoon there wac soms show Of clustering
weather, but it passed away, aud all wac bright
again. The total woe was Gi $50, or j., ISL lea'
than in November, aud the contras, between the
excitement Of that election and the queIness OF thi
was the snlject of general remark. There was little
or no lighting, and no disturbance Of any conse
qnence.
Charles McNeal wa, arrested, charged with at
tempting to vote illegally in the Fifth Ward; John
Wood in the Sixth Ward; Garrett gilbert, Cor
nelins Crannon, John Lyons, and James Rourke
in the Twelfth Ward. They were all held tor ex-
animation.
In the Five Points District, II. I. Brennan re-
ceiyed 90 votes, Robert T. lIaws 5. Ga. of these
votes, three hundred and thirty-nine were voted by
affidavit, made up principally OF Massachusetts SOL
diers fom The Franklin Street Barracks. This fraud
seems enormous, but when we take into consdera-
ton the fact that thesc votes in addition to the
poll let Of tie last election increased as that was
ALEC by some one Hundred and fifty affidavit votes,
tic fraud becomes really amazing. The Sixth Ward
was besiesed at every election district by soldiers
challenged as not being residents Of the Stale, had
residences supplied By their eonscenceless election
eeiers. In this manner gangs of sodiers voted from
one election district to another all day long. The
practice Of voting by blank aiidavts has brought
forth its legitimate fruits
THE CITY ON ELECTION NIGHT
was Is quiet as during the day. At the polling
places there was no excitement and but few spec
tators watched the progress OF the canvass. There
being only four boxes TO count, aud the vote light,
the canvass was completed at a comparatively early
hour. The headquarters of the severa contending
parties wsre attended by the faithful anxious
TO hear the result.

The assembly waited I'LL 81 o'clock discussing poti
cal affairs and occasionally venting their impotence

been taken to have the returns Gent here and that

The company theTeupon dispersed.
THE GATHERING AT TAM5IANY HALL.
Last night the old Wigwan was crammed with
the unerrifed and exul,ant Democracy. As the re-
ports came in from the different wards, noisy and
enthusiastic demonstrations were made, until 1t
seemed as though Bedlam had broken loose. Every
time new report read, ali the leading candi-
dates were treated 10 three cheers each, in other
words they received about sixty.sx cheers and
twenty-five tigers. I. II. Fsron, the Controller
cleo, of Brooklyn, and late Of tie Navy Yard, made
