New-York would give not less than Forty
thousand majority for Grant and Griswold
In this City, their supporters largely exceed
third of the legal vote, while they are a de-
cided majority of the natiye-born electors. We

cor FEyToy AND THE ELECTION

Gov. Feuton remained in the city through
ont yesterday, and by his presence and re-
sulting confidence that protection would be
guaranteed to all who sought to preserve the
purity of the ballot, the quiet of the election
was largely due. The Governor adopted
effective measures to repress organized violence
and maintain the supremacy of the laws He for
bore giving occasion for additional alarm by any
premature proclamation, and the resultha vindi-
Gated the soundness of his judgment. Hasty
and inconsiderate action would have tended to
preciptate an outbreak rather than to avert it,
but he quietly put himself in communication
with the civil and military authorities aud, as
will be seen by the following correspondence.

this city, under command of Major-Gen. Sla-
Ter, by direction of the Governor, was placed
in q complete state of preparation for any
meergency. We have occasion for mutual con-
graduation In tho fact that the public peace
has been preserved without resort to the means
which were at his disposal, and that through
the firmness and moderation of the Governor,
the evils which threatened us have been averted !:

CURIOUS BALLOON ACCIDENT IN MASSACHUSETTS.

From ire New Bedford Mercury July 81
The plearure OF the throngs who witnessed II was
sadly marred by frightfu accident. Unfortunately
the police force was insufficient TO Keep the crowd
rom invading the space appropriated to Mr. Collard
and his assistants, and large number Of men and
children were about the balloon, though the aero
naut warned them OF the danger. Everything was
at last ready the rope to which was attached the
grapne being properly cOiled and the latter safely
placed in the carr but In some way the guy by which
the balloon was held caught ana displaced the
grapne which fell from the car. In Its descent IL
struck upon the Head OF little boy named william
Mottrom belonging in Taunton, fracturlng his skull.
The rope by which the balloon was held to the
earth having been cut the grapnel was dragged
along and caught one little French boy named
John Bono under one arm and the chin and another
named Charlie Jones on the hip, and both were
lifted in the air. For q moment the agony OF the
spectators was intense. The balloon was ascending
In direct line when Mr.. Colard, hearing the cry
and seeing the boys suspended, with admirable
presence Of mind cut the rope with his knife, thus
giving the little fellows their only chance Of escape.
They had reached the altitude variously estimated
at from fifty to eighty feet but which are salts
fed from Mr.. Collard's statement could not have
been more than forty feet, and fortunately fell into
Q tree upon the Common which greatly broke the
force OF their descent, and thus saved not only their
lives but their limbs. Both suffered from the con-
cusson. They remained insensible for time, but
under careful and skilful medical attention were
made comfortable and will undoubtedly both re-
cover.
