utye they have been able without bloodshed to main
tain their rights and viDdicste the majesty Of
the law. The plots Of the johnson National
Unionists have been defeated in the court, and
their muskets and ammunition captured in their arsenas
The preananged places Of ultimate appeal and all the
parties in command Of their defeated forces both IN the
courts and the asenas openly recognize Andrew johnson
as their seadfast friend who has done his best to help
them. The mass meeting Of Democrats and ex-hebels
announced for this morning, was given up as coon as
was ascertaned that the Mayor and the City police instead
Of attempting TO suppress the gathering as they hoped,
would defend them in whatever they might please to say
To override the law and obtain possession OF the police
and Judges of Election, that Rebels, bitter and
unreconstructed could freely vote, was the
sole object OF Swann's movement That il has
been defeated is due TO the efficiency of the police and the
equally remarkable decision and vigilance OF the Radical
leaders in the contest for their night If the Republicans
Of NewYork City possessed the pluck, prudence and har
mony exhibited by the Baltimore Radicals dundg the last
three days, they would carry the Metropolis next year
Victories have followed each other rapidly like Sheridan
in the Shenandoah and the resultant qualification made
all the decided by the fact that IL is not merely TN
umph of loyal men Rebels but of law over anarchy
The application for writ of contumacy against the war
den was to-day argued at great length before Judge
Barol, q fairminded Conservative. The cry was
represented in opposition to the granting OF the
writ by Thomas s. Alexander, esq. an eminent
urs whose advice the Radicals chiefly followed IN lhe
who made q brilliant and effective speech against
the application TO force the return at o'clock The Judge
decided that the Warden had three days TO return the w
aud the hearing appointed for O'clock on Thursday
After adjournment the Radicals renewed the overture,
heretofore made to appoint from the CONSERVATIVES one
Judge out of the three in each election precinct The
concession was accepted The Conservatives went INTO
conference for four hours They could not agree m 20
what men appoint and at clock this evening sent wt
ten notification 20 the Board Of Commissioners th5 they
would give up without making any appointments andct
the whole matter drop 1t anticipated that the resuof
this will be that the registers who axe al swans APP
pontees, viii withhold the lists Of 1866, on which the
election should be based In which eases the Judges VIII
fall back upon the Registry lists Of 1865 on which there
are no Rebels enrolled Ii is known what was the
substance the interview to-day between Gen. Grant
and Gov. Swami. The Rebels, however, denounene
Grant az having defeated the purpose OF tho Presiden
and some Of them cuTsing him as loudly as they dd
when Richmond was taken. Candy, also, IS unpopular
with them.
MdAighL-The man who was shot at the capture Of
the first lot Of muskes ChaIlesst. seriously but
not fatally wounded in the head. About half of the
muskets had bayonets. Many more muskets have been
captured making about 6,O00 stands in all go were
found in one place loaded and capped also large
number Of revovers. Since the complete collapse
of the plot, the Copperhead papers are ont an
nouncing that public liberty is as good as
lost and that oil things are rushing to ruin.
1t is settled that the Rebels viii not vote tomorrow guns
OF no guns This probably, secures the success OF the
Radical ticket There is thus early some talk OF lmPeae
ing Gov Swami for endcavorng TO absorb within bimse
ali subordinate Offices He will probably claim, however,
that ho has distinguished example TO justify him. The
Office Of The Amcrean, the only paper except Gerah
one that is heartily with the Unionist is crowded with
Radicals discussing tie events Of the day and the pros
poets the Threats and talk Of riot are SUI
abroad but reason known for serious aPITehen-
sion. Grant returned to Washington at o'clock

from tho streets and the city appears nearly to have re-
turned to its usual tranquility Loyal Baltimore expects
New-York to do its duty tomorrow
Attorney General Randall has given an opinion on tho
