WASHINGTON, June S.-The returns
frome Yesterdays election show that
nearly five thousand white voters
failed to vote, and were probably in
Inundated from approaching the polls.
The vote, as compared with the regis
tratiOn, is that number short. The
evening papers contain details OF the
minor riots that prevailed during the
night; but the day has been compaTa-
lively quiet. Owing to the corpora
ton law admitting negroes tO-all parts
of places of amusement, il was feared
that an attack would be made on the
National Theatcr; but the negroes con-
descendinglvs sent a delegation TO the
Droprietors. and informed them that
no attack would be made. The Re
publican papers generally pitch into
the negroes for the riot of yesterday,
but have not a word Of condemnation
for John W. EOrney, whose infiam-
matory appeal to the enegrOes undoubt-
edly was one Of Jhe prime causes OF
the riot. Among the Councllmen
elected 10 impose taxes and prescribe
municipal regulations for the capital
Of the country, is the head waiter of
the National Hotel, and the barber at
Willard's zone of the Seventh ward
Aldermen WAS, q year or two since, q
bOot-black.
The most exciting thing going on is

They got into quite squabble to-day
over the kind of schedule that should
be used in taking the ninth census.
The proposed scedUle unCler discussion
was that relating to statistics of exist
ing diseases; but it was finally cOnclu-
ded that men and women could not
be cOmDelled 10 inform tle census ia
ker what aiIment, if any afflicted
them.
Information has been received here
that Ignacio Mariscol has been APP

Acknowledgement HOar has given
an opinion, at the instance of the

troll of telegraphic communication
with foreign nations, BY means OF ca

States, is within the constitutional au-
thority Of Congress TO permit, regu-

no security for such enterprises while
no authority or protection for them
has been provided by acts of Congress.
Separate States may grant enjoy

Several persons injured by the acci-
dent at Annapolis Junction last night,
were brought 10 this city. As soon as
the accident occurred, much sOlicitude
was felt as 10 the safety of the Presi-
Dental party, and on some of the pas
sengers proceeding TO the rear car
they found the President, il is said,
placidly smoking, and not aware OF
the extent OF the disaster. Mr.. Nc
Can, brakesman on the train, had
his left lee broken. The darkness Of
the night added To the horror of the
situation, ss it prevented the unin-
iured from seeingThe full extent of the
disaster. The embankment where it
occurred is some twenty feet high.
