THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.
The Official X eturns

The election for Mayor, seven Aldermen,
and twenty-one Councilmen in this civ, yes
terday, passed of quietly, and with but little
excitement in most of the wards, owing, per.
maps, to the fact that none but local issues
were made. There was considerable good
humored rivalry among the candidates and
their supporters, but none of the aerirnony
ana bitterness which characterize such con-
tests when party lines on national political
questions are strictly drawn. Ample arrange
ments bad been made by Superintendent Rich
ARDS, ef tne metropolitan Police force, for the
preservation of order: but fortunateiv. there
was no occasion TO call in requisition any re-
serve force, as there was no disorder and but
very little drunkenness. As we predicted yes
terday. Mr. Wallach received a majority in
every ward but the Sixth. His reelection was
considered certain, but when the returns Were
announced last night, his friends were agree
ably surprised 10 find his majority larger even
thar the most sanguine had anticipated
The official returns in each ward are as fol.
lows.
