PRESENTED BY THE ELECTION.
Election day passed off very quietly.
N.o'solders were permitted about the
polls. General Bennetts orders to the
officers of the day were that no guard
should be stationed at any of the ward
precincts, unless special request was
made necessary.
The citizens generally are very much
pleased with the result, and deny that
any issue Of unionist or secessionist was
raised in the selection and election of
candidates. They claim that they are
Union and nothing else, and that all will
cordially support, the views and policy
OF the administration AS. All evidence
ofthis intention they instance the cleo.

avowed Uniouist during the war; who
received p respectable and successful
vote.

a. G.. Mackcv and The "Union ticket"
view the result as acomplote triumph of
the old hmkers and secessionists. The
election OF Mr. Coogan, they say, was
effected bysthat candidate merging him
self with the ,secessionists. The Union
men and former friends Of Mr.. Coogan
have no confidence in any good result.
