During the day two or three "skirmishes"
took place between the voters In the Fourth
precinct, caused by several OF the colorcd
citizens voting the citizens ticket. A num-
Der Of "roughs" from Washington were en-.
gagged In the rows; and they, together with
several Of the rowdies Of Georgetown to the
number Of thirty altogether, were arrested
and will be held In the station. house until
this morning. Tho arrests were ordered
from police headquarters. Among those
arrested were "John" Bowie, "Dlck" Smith,
VIM. Cook, "Joe" Gibbs, aud other rowdies
Of this city, together with Henry Platter, I'd
Edwards, Sam Lawson, George NJ. Wash
ington, Samuel Collins, and others ofGcorgc-
town.
The police arrangements were admirable,
aud great credit Is due the officers who, by
their determined bearing during the day,
did much to prevent serious disturbances.
The rioting was confined almost exclu-
sivcly to the Fourth precinct. The advent
Of the Washington desperadoes did much to
augment the difficulties, and Lieut.. Essex
decided to take prompt measures TO arrest
and detain them In custody until after the
excitement Of the election had subsidized.
The returns of election were announced at
the custom-housc In the presence Of an I'M
mense concoursc OF citizens, and the result
was received with tumultuous applause by
the friends of the winning side, who pro-
ceeded TO visit the successful candidates and
congratulate them. They were Hospitality
received by several Of the newly elected.
The highest vote polled at the election In
1867 was that cast for Mr.. Welch for Mayor,
which was 1,0l9.
