~ ELECTION EFFORT AND FAILURE.
In view of the posture to which affairs
had been brought in the city in connection
With the police board difficulties, those
representing that large portion Of the COM
mnnity placed so greatly at disadvantage
hereby were disposed to accept the best
arrangement which it was possible TO attain
IN regard to holding the election to-day.
In the conference Of gentlemen Of both
Iclitcal parties, held yesterday at the in.
,tance Of General Grant the proposition
ar>t made by the Conservatives for the
hclding of two clections-one under the
auspices of the judges appointed by the
old poiiCc board, and the other under the
auspices Of judges appointed by the new
hcaTd-was emphaticaily dissented to by
the Radical party. A second proposition,
however, from the Conservatives, for the
oppoiutmcnt by the old police board of
;IdgcS of election composed entirely Of re-
.pcn>ihc men-property-holder and good
citizcns-one Of the three for each precinct
IN bc Conservative, with a Conservative
clerk, met with more favor but finally, af-
fer much conversation over the details, the
whole arrangement fell through.
Yesterday was another exciting day, and
during The most of ii crowds appeared in
some ofthc principal streets. There Was COM
parative quictneSs, although number of
pcrsons were arrested, and on trivial charges
Of one sort or other sent to Jail, bail being
refused. The new police board, Messrs.
Valiant and Young, with Sheriff Thomp-
son, remained in the city Jail, to which
they had been committed BY Judge Bond.
The old board continued to exercise the
powers pertaining to the office.
In the Dispatch of yesterday was a state
men, of the plan of compromise suggested
Iy General Grant. In urging this plan, he
said he particularly wished to see the en-
tire vote Of the city brought out, and he
urged the committee to endeavOr to effect
. compromise, promising to do all that lay
in his power to secure good faith in all ar
raugcments entered into by the old COM
missioncrs [but he didn't know what
scoundrels he had to deal With.
Well, the Conservatives agreed to Gene
raj Grants compromise, and appointed a
committee 10 settle the matter with the
Radicals. g..
Ia reply to an inquiry, the Mayor in
formed the committee that his colleagues
were busily engaged and could not see
them at that time, and to the request OF
the committee to be furnished with list
of the judges appointed, the Mayor handed
them printed list Of those who served at
the municipal election, cut from city
paper, and then retired. The members OF
the committee being made aware Of the
fact that the old police board had been en-
gaged for some time previous in swearing
their judges and clerks for duty to-day in
tcrprcted is as i'm violation of the arrange
mcnt made between the partiesat the sug-
gestion and with the full concurrence OF
General Grant and General Candy. They
therefore retired with the best grace they
could. II is understood that General
Candy, on being informed of the result,
expressed his modification and regret, and
insisted on the committee again waiting on
the board with their list Of a judge and
clerk for each precinct. This was done at
II O'Clock last night, at which time, it is
understood, it was reported to them that
the board had adjourned.
Thus ended the no doubt well-intended
interference of General Grant and General
Canby in the political imbrOglio Of Balti-
more, and as necessary consequence the
election will be conducted under the same
auspices aswas the late municipal election.
GENERAL GRANT RETURNED TO WASHINGTON.
General Grant returned to Washington
at 3 =. NJ. yesterday, of course under the
dclusion that he had been chiefly instru-
mental in settling the Baltimore political
difficulties.
MEETING OF THE JUDGES OF ELECTION. i
As perhaps bearing on the above is the
following: 1t is understood that q meeting
oi the old Judges of election was held yes
lcrday afternoon in the upper story Of the
old City Hall, at which uniform plan OF
action was suggested for their adoption.
II was stated that the judges determined
10 allow none but what they call "loyal
men" to vote, without regard to registra-
ton.
