New YORK, Dec. 4.-The whole vote
polled at the election yesterday was 1884,
1872, a reduction of about 5000 from the
vote at the election last month, and 81 900
less than the registered vote of the city.
All of the Aldermen elected are Democrats.
and all but three were the nominees Of
Tammany Hall. The Councilmen elected
were all Tammany Hall nominees. OF
seven School Commissioners elected, three
are Republicans. For Civil Justice, Thad-
deus H. Lane, a Tammany Hall man,
was elected by large majority. The cleo
ton was the quietest ever held in the city,
and but few arrests were made for illegal
voting. Meetings were held at the various
political headquarters in the evening.
Speeches were made by /. Sanders and 9TH
ers.
DR.. Harris reports the number of deaths
in New York last week at 1863, and in
Brooklyn at Is.
The Herald's special SAYS Gen. Grant is
preparing new order TO still further re-
dnce the expenses ON the army account.
The movement made some time since by
Grant to dispense with the services of civil
ians employed in the army viii constitute
an important feature in the new order, and
| will make reduction, it is stated, of 5000
men. The abolition of the breyet system,
which meets with Grants favor, is now
under consideration by the Military Com
mittee, and some changes are looked for
which will avoid the confusion and jeal-
| ousies which have arisen from promotions
of this character. The proposition OF
| Washburne of Indiana, to pay the army
weekly is not likely to meet with success in
the committee, as they consider the scheme
impracticable.
The Savannah National Bank, of Savan-
nah, Ga, to-day voluntarily resigned its
privileges as a depository of government
funds, and applied to withdraw its securi-
ties az such.
The Times special says; The House
Military Committee called upon Gen. Grant
to-day to pay the usual visit of courtesy
and had prolonged interview. The late
Indian trouble was fnlly discussed and also
the project of transferring the Indian Bu-
reau to the War Department. Gen. Grant
adheres TO his former views on this point
and, with the committee, is strongly in
favor of such transfer. The General
views on all military matters accord with
those of a majority of the committee.
The Tribune's special says: The Senate
Judiciary Committee expect to report upOr
the case of Senator Thomas, OF Maryland
on Monday next. The committee appear
nearly or quite unanimous in favor of per
hitting him to take his seat, as the evidence
taken having failed TO sustain the charge
of disloyalty against him.
1t is not likely that tine President viii
send any nominations to the Senate thi
week, though he may. The struggle for tn
mission to Mexico grows warm there beini
number of applicants; Gen. kirkpatrick
the Minister to Chili,s is anxious to &c
nearer home, and wonld be pleased to b
commissioned to Mexico.
The other aspirants are MowTy, OF Ari
iona, Nugent, of California, and Genera
| Averill.
The Worlds special says bill is nov
before the House Military Committee, tn
effect of which is to prevent the restoratio
| to the army of such officers as have bee
, | arbitrarily dismissed on sentences of court
; martial, and is intended especially TO reac
the cases of Gen. Fitz John Porter an
. Col. Bigler.
