he city election yesterday resulted IN a
greater victory even for the Republicans than
the sweeping one indicated when we went to
press Mr.. Boswell is elected Collector by
nesTly 5000 majority, or nearly double that
ever received oy a municipal candidate.
WalIach, in 1855, was elected Mayor over
Essby by majority OF 2,g76. Halls maiorrty
over MeNerhspy, for Collector, in lS67. was
2-i,. II was anticipated that the Republican
majority would reach 5,5C. but that party was
Eearly as much astOnIsbed a. their opponents
te,t il shouId mount up 10 the figures realized.
The opposition failed not only to register, but
also TO vote when registered. The registra-
ion would have allowed them to put 10 sOms-
ihIEg over 200 votes, a number they failed to
reach by AT least 2,0O0 votes.
While such a victory is well calculated TO
inspire the jubIisEt feelings shown to-day by
the Republicans, II would have been much
more satisfactory 10 all thinking members of
the party had II not been marred by the riots
IN some of the wards through the attempts of
some reckless colored men TO prevent voters
of their own color from exercising the right of
suffrage in their own way.
lt will afford the most telling argument
against negro suffrage that could BE- placed In
the hands Of its opponents, that the colored
people IN the first city where the experiment
has been tried undertake to control the exer-
ctSe OF the rlgnt by brute force. The system OF
slavery from which they have Just been eman-
cipatsd was not more blrbarous and despotic
than the slavery they attempt To impose upon
the voters of their own color.
The impression Will go abroad that the elec.
ton would have resulted differently had the
coiored "citiZens yoters" been permitted TO de.
pOsit their ballots unmoles ted, whereas we do
net believe tnat fifty colored people in the
whole city would have voted that way. The
police doubtless hsve the names OF the ring
leaders in these riots and they should not tail
to arrest them, and have them unishsd to pre-.
vent the repetition of such scenes This is only
an act OF justice to ths great body of the colored
people of the city who utterly condemn these
outrageous acts, and who should not be held
responsible for the course of the rowdy ele.
melt that held sway for time in the
Second Ward Yesterday. In regard to
the attack upon Stewart IL should be stated
that the feeling against him was undoubtedly
greatly intensified by his course as sub-con-
tractor in failing to pay his men. This, of
course, afforded no palliation for the action of
the mob, but the tact serves to show that the
raid upon him was not inspired altogether by
his politics But enough transpired in the
course of the day in the Second and other
wards TO show that a body of negroes were
determined by physical coercion to prevent
any OF their race from voting the Citizens

NEcTION. The Directors of the Washington
aud Alexandria Canal, Aqueduct, Bridge and
Railroad Company held a protracted meeting
last week at their Office in this city, the result
of which was the passage Of an order for the
immediate construction OF a railroad to connect

railroad, commencing at the Virginia terminus
Of Che Aqueduct, and running thence along the
BERN bank of the canal and connecting with
the Loudoun and Hampshire railroad near the

connect the system OF northern and southern
railroads will be supplied-a matter Of great
