hendeo serious disturbances on the occasion
OF he first exercise OF the right OF franchise by
the colored people.
The police, under the order Of Major Rich.
ards, has been arranged to meet any emer-
geney that may arise, but anticipate no serious
asIhe euity IN any locality. The rumor that was
started yesterday, that large number of
Roughs would arrive from Baltimore, proved
to be unfoundsd, as the officers report the ar
rlHal OF no greater number than on previous
election days, and without any apparent un-
dsrstanding as TO movements in tn is city The
precinct police of the city are subdivided for
attendance at the voting places in each ward,
having asufficient reserve al the station -house
IN each precinct, while the mounted police
and iorce Of men dismounted form reserve
AT headquarters subject to call from any To-
cailty OF the city. In consideration of the fact
that the telegraph wires might be severed by
an. eva disposed person, system of private
signals, almost as speedy as the telegraph has
peen arranged, by which the reserves can be
Iouhed from any point in the city. Last night
Gen. CANDY called at the police headuu uartsrs
aEo inquired as to the arrangements for the
preservation of order. and rendered any aid
that might be required of him. Major Rich
ards accepted the proffered aid. fiat should be
found necessary. but expressed hope that the
police OF the District would be abls to secure
order during the entire day -. =
