got hold of him, and by the bride Of a new

The Washington City Election.

The Washington correspondent of the Chi

An election was held here on Monday, and
the democratic candidate for mayor elected
at night according to the actual count,
But, one of the bailot-boxes having been
conveyed to the Office of Forney's Chronicle
on Monday night, it was found next morning
to contain enough more radical tickets to
elect the radical mayor than it contained the
night before So, of course, the radical
mayor was declared elected by 80 majority.
In spite of this palpable fraud, however, the
council is democratic, and the democrats
have gained a substantial victory. Last
year the radical majority was 1000. The
falling off of the radical vote is supposed to
be because Grants portrait was printed on
the republican tickets

temperance convention held in that city:
During the session OF Wednesday morn

and eyes dim with the ravages of seventy
years, sat among the audience. With body
bent forward, clasping hands, and eyes rivet-

absorbed attention. A lady entering and
