INCIDENTS OF THE DAT.
As stated In yesterdays REPUBLICAN, the
colorcd Republican voters assembled about
O'Clock In tho morning and awaited with
patience the opening Of the polls. As soon
as the hour Of q. m. had arrived tho com
missioners Of election In the several precincts
opened the polls, and voting was proceeded
with rapidly, and In nine tenths Of the pre-
cincts the rush was over by 0 O'Clock. At
ono or two OF the precincts In the First, Sec
ond, Third and Fourth wards the line Of
voters was quite large up to q late hour N
the afternoon. A good deal OF scratching of
tickets was done In several Of the wards.
In the First precinct Of the First ward
there were but two commissioners Of votes
during the day, Mr.. Peter Howisou, the
Citizen" commissioner, not appearing. In
the Seventh ward the eolorod man, John L.
aeroe,t, -ho was Q candidate for Common
open "bluo back" Republican ticket. Dur.
Ing the day the board OF registration was
In session at the City Hall, issuing certia-
Gates OF registration TO such persons who
had been registered and whose names did
not appear on the books furnished TO the
commissioners Of elections.
During the day several scenes OF disorder
occurred In various portions of the city.
Many OF them were Of minor Importance

on duty around the polls. Two or three Of
the disturbances, however, were more ylo-
lent, and one OF them was not quleted until
one OF the rioters had been killed and two
others badly wounded. The frat occurred
on the Navy Yard about IL o'clock. Ii
seems that Oniccr Green attempted to ar
rest two colored men who were engaged In a
drunken row. He succeeded in getting one
OF the men, named Pool, and then attempted
ha all -
who made a determined resistance. A
crowd OF colorcd men had by this time
gathered and endeavored to rescue the
prisoner, when Chris. Bohlayer, well
known In the Sixth ward, went to the as
sistance Of the officer.
A general row now onsued, and In the
melee the prisoners were rescued, and
bohlayer was severely cut about the face
with q razor In the hands Of some one of the
rioters. He was taken to his residence, whore
his wounds were dressed.
In the Second ward good deal OF ill-feel-
ing existed BY reason Of number Of colored
men scratching" the candidates on the Re.
publican ticket. One Of these ''scratchers,"
Sulius wallace BY name, was dragged out
OF buggy and badly beaten, but was rescued
by the police. For q time trouble seemed
Imminent, but by the determined efforts of
the police force II was avoided.
Between and O'Clock another riot oc-
CURED In the Second ward, which did not
END as quickly nor so quietly. The cause of |
this trouble was the "irrepresslble" Charles |
stewart, who has been so active during the |
campaign In his advocacy Of the "cltlzens' |
ticket" This Individual was observed by a
number OF colored men sitting In the store OF |
Mr. VIM. Y. Given, one Of the citizens can
didates, on Twelfth street, near L street. A
rush was made, but Stewart got inside OF
tl0 ii UAlllnR tho
once locked. Soon noisy mob collected In
lront Of the house, and finally became so
ooisterous rs to frighten Mr.. Giyen's family
70 such an extent as to cause them TO leave
he premises. The police force on duty In
he precinct, with detachment Of mounted
men, forced their way through the crowd
md succeeded In driving them back, In or
Ter that pathway could DO made by which
stewart could be got out OF the house, he
i1aHing requested Major Richards to protect
llm from violence.
When Stewart was brought out on the
treet, under the guard Of file OF police, a
hout arose from the mob who attempted to
5et TO him, and had they succeeded In their
'ndeayors II Is likely that lynch law would
ave been inaugurated. But they were folled
n their endeaVor by Major Richards, who |
rdered his dismounted men to form a hol-
Nv square around Stewart, aud the mounted I
|
nabled to keep the crowd at bay and pro /
oct him.
The crowd whooped, swore, and threatened /
mob Stewart, and 1t required all the exer /
onB OF the mounted men to keep him from
cling lynched on the spot. He was carried {
own l. street to Thirteenth, and thence 10 h
ie corner Of the alley where the polls were @
cid, (Fourth precinct of Second ward. \ and |,
zero he cast his vote.
This alley was literally packed with col C
'ed men, as also the alley on the opposite q
de OF the street, and hardly had Major h
lchards left the polls with Stewart, In charge al
the police, whom a volley OF stones was ii
rown and several of the officers wero Ii
ruck; among them Sergeant Harrison, Of b
G Second precinct, who was severely injured
'out the body by the large rocks with which O,
was pelted. The police, In charge of @,
ewart, with Major Richards, moved down ii
llrteenth street, the mounted men close n,
hind, halting every now and then to warn II
mob that they must cease throwing the CO
mos. Nothing daunted, the crowd, as Il Il
re, become more Violent; and one Of them, D,
,olored man, whose name was said 10 be M
llllam Smith, fired pistol at Major Rich al
is, who had already been struck several th
ies with stones. Instlnctlyoly, as II were, m
Major threw up the pistol with his arm, III
the course OF the ball was ayerted as JC
lugh by miracle. an
general tumult ensued, and the police, re
70, Dy THIS time, had arrived at the corner Gu
and Thirteenth streets, made q halt, be
u amid shower OF rocks and stones, fired isl
