This evening the tune is changed. The
Republicans, principally cOored people. are out in
force, marching and countermarching through the
city, and cheering over their victory. The official
figures give Bowen (Rep) IA majority in vote OF
over $4,000. The Board of Aldermen is tie and in
the Council the Democrats have three majority,
which is owing to the ward system of the city, the
Republicans having carried three and the Democrats
four of the seven wards The Democrats talk of con-
testing the elections but it is hardly probable that
investigation will help them in the least, for the
fraud is all their side. 1t has been the most ex-
citing canvass ever witnessed in this neighborhood
and the whites having majority of over 1000 in the
registry the victory is all the more satisfactory to

Oliver Dean, eghty-fve years old, who gave the
finely situated and extensive grounds, $4,000 for the
buildings, and $4,000 besides as permanent fund.-

now numbers seventy, and preparations are made
for two hundred.
