THE election in this city yesterday
passed off quietly. The Democrats,
contrary to general expectation. made
20 effort in the Republican Wards.
The Republicans elect their candid
ates in the First, Second, Third,
Fourth. Seventh and Ninth Wards,
while the Democrats carry the Fifth,
Sixth and Eighth Wards. The Re
publicans made a gallant and spirited
fight in the Fifth Ward, and were on
ly defeated by seventeen votes, aud it
is said that more than enough Repub-
licaus remained away from the polls
than would have elected Mr.. Jones,
the Republican candidate. by a re-
spectacle majority. This Ward will
be redeemed at the next election.
The Council will be Republican as
eretofore.-Indionapolis Journal.
In its Pomeroyical. bombastical,
and nonsensioal notice of this cleo
ton, the Courier of yesterday COD
tanned the following:

Indianapolis followed in a way that

shows a queer improvement. The

that city, that they failed to put in an
appearance in six out of the nine
wards.

The above fasehood was exposed

are somewhat surprised at this want

circulating falsehood. Usually it is
very prompt both in copying and
