THIRD MONROE WARD.

The voting was resumed in this ward early
| yesterday morning, and was proceeded with
! throhghou; the day without any serious dis
turbance:
About II O'Clock colored man voted the
| Conservative ticket. The negroes made IN at
tempt 10 mob him, but were prevented by the
| GOODNESS and determination OF several gentle
men. There was every Indication that the
affair would be serious, and perhaps would
have been had not 4 detachment Of infantry
| BEEN marched 10 the scene
After this, moro etfectual arrangements
were made for preserving order, and every
| thing continued quiet until sunset-the hour of
! closing the polls Then IN order was received
! from General Schotield to keep the polls open
| until further orders. The voting was resumed
and continued until o'clock, when General
Granger came up and ordered the polls TO be
closed until o clock this morning.
Mr.. Nat. Sturdiyant, Conservative candi-
date, jumped upon the table, and announced
that The whites had carried the ward by a
large majority, and advised them 10 come 20
the polls early in the morning. Three hearty
cheers and tiger were given for the Conser
vative ticket, and the whites then quietly dis
rersed, the colored people soon following
their example.
FOURTH WARD.
The Conservatives of Church and Union
Hills came up noby to the mark, and the
colored majority is much less than we mad
reason 10 anticipate. It affords US sincere
pleasure TO state that not more than five white
and nearly fifty colored men had the courage
to vote with the Conservatives.
The military and police were on the ground
an day, but the work Tt the polls was done
quietly, aud their assistance was not required,
although the sight of blue coats and bayonets
may have had n salutary effect.
FIFTH CHENRY) WARD.
Not the slightest disturbance occurred in
this ward yes terday, and very few persons
voted.
The centre of attraction was colored man
who stated that he had debated with himself
long and often. but up TO that hour had been
unable to decide which ticket he should sup
port This. statement soon caused the adhe-
rents OF each party to crowd around. They
labored Zcllously TO win him over. He lis
tened respectfully 20 the arguments OF each
for several hours, but then was rs undecided
rs when they began. lie finally left the polls
without voting.
At half past o clock the polls were closed.
With the exception OF five white and nine CO.
lored men, ali who registered in this ward
voted yesterday and the day before.

BY PIERRE BLOT, Professor Of Gastronomy
and Founder of the New York Cooking
Academy. New York ID. APPLETON & Co.
This Monsieur BLOT has been making noise
in New York. He appears to be master of
cooking, and has his school, which he instructs
by lectures and actual experiments. 1t would
be IN amusing occupation TO look through the
volumes on the art of cooking, from Mrs.
GLASS down TO this French professor, and
compare the various styles of different times.
There are certain general principles which of
course time cannot alter but in the details and
varieties there may be endless change and the
French have been moro successful in adding TO
and improving them than other people. Now,
a. Bacon and green's belong to "first princ-
pies" We defy any nation to produce that
dish i'm the perfection with which it is placed
on the table of ;n Old Virginia mansion. But
the meat Of the hog, which forms the main
part of this dish, is susceptible of preparation
in innumerable forms that are more or less
'commendablc. Mons. Blot no doubt gives MS
large number of these and it is Just in this
way that his book, and others before him, have
been serviceable in the family. We shall learn
some economy in the preparation of 4 dinner
from rather stinted means by consulting him.
The French are great for making tolerable
meal out of Il commiSsary department that
would drive anybody else to desperation.

We were greatly shocked, in common
with this community, TO hear on Sunday
morning Of the sudden death of Robert
Eiyes, Esq, son Of Judge Alexander
ElveS.
Mr. Rivcs was, we suppose, about twenty
eight years OF age. He was distinguished
Master Of Arts Of the University OF Viz
GINA, and on leaving this institution he re-
paired TO the University OF heidelberg,
where he devoted himself chiefly to the
study of law. Returning home from
Europe some eighteen months since, he
entered the law class Of the University OF
Virginia, and graduated with much honor
in June, 1866.
Apart from his requirements, he was
Young gentleman of great promise, ana oil
a most exemplary and amiable character
We regard the death of such man on the
very threshold of what we are assured
would have proved most useiui ana
honorable career as puolic CALAMITY

Rtphts OF CoIorcd People on steam.
boats.

FORTRESS MONROE, May lS.-A case was
Yesterday brought up before the Mayor OF
Portsmouth, arising from captain of one
Of the ferry boats running from Norfolk to
Portsmouth forcihly eiccting two colorcd
women from the saloon set apart on the
steamer for ladies, one part of the steamer
having been designated for the use of CO
Iagcd persons. A warrant was issued for
the arrest Of the captain, and the Mayor
saws in his decision There is no doubt
In my opinion that the ferry company has n
right 10 pass such rules and regulations for
the government of these boats, and to ap-
point officers TO carry out these rules and
regulations, and the officers appointed
should hc al all times courteous and polite
The manner OF ciccting the parties with
ont first stating 10 them that it was against
the rules of the company was very repre-
hcu>lhlc. There was more force use d than
was necessary, and | shall therefore send
Captain Child> forward TO the grand jury
10 be indicted for assault and battery
Captain ChildS gave security to the amount
of 500, and the case will come up for trial
before the Corporation Court, which meets
in july next Chronicle.
Ii will be seen that the Mayor objected
10 the manner of ciecting the parties. M
80 moliter poS,6t is all the plea the cap
tain needs for his justification according to
the Mayors dcci>ion-that is, the negroes
may be put off, but not too rudely.
