il THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN WASHING
TON, yesterday, resulted in the success of the
Radical ticket, by large majority including
majority in the City Council. The colored
people voted, almost in mass, for the Radi-
cals-the exceptions were few. The National
Intelligencer declares that the frauds perpe-
trated by the Radical party managers were
unparalleled. It says:
as; There is evidence that they dragged negroes
from the country off the market wagons at the
market place, and had them registered. There
is evidence that they voted negroes living in
Maryland and Virginia by scores and hundreds.
There is evidence that their busy myrmidons,
men who have neither interest nor character In
the community, were allowed to pass up and
down the lines OF voters waiting to gain access
to the polls, and to Inspect the tickets of the
colored men, and when Conservative tickets
were found in their possession they were taken
away torn up, and Radical tickets substituted
for them. y
The Washington Chronicle exultingly pro-
claims the result, under the head of-''The Old
Residents. Routed II 10 Washington the
managers have succeeded in arraying nearly the
whole colored population in opposition to near
ly all the white permanent residents-and this
will be attempted to be done all through the
Southern country A melancholy and lament
able state of affairs, bodibg no good But it is
the duty of all order loving citizens to bear
this, or anything else, with patience and forti-
tude, and in perfect quietness.
