the "IJr' names Of the candidates, while
some on wall paper procured in baltimore, (aii
sas man had,) and some on light green paper.
Ihe Citizens, 1t appears, failed to procure any
vail paper similar to the aforementioned, and
resorted to the dodge Of using the green paper
above referred to, with the names OF the candi-
dates thereon, headed, some with portraits of
PRESIDENT Grant, with the words Mixed
ters" with Tapping wings.
The probabilities are that the Citizens ticket
will be elected throughout, with the exception
OF one or two candidates for the Board Of Alder
men, whose names, 1t is said, are being scratched
in favor of John K. Cox one of the Republican
candidates. Henry ID. Cooke, Esq, is on both
tickets, and will get heavy vote.
CHARGE OF ATTEMPT AT RAPE.-Edward
CruSOr eEav ia pipn
charged with an attempt ut rape, and was held
to bail in the sum of $500 for his appearance at
Court. 1t appears that Della Dunlap, white
servant in the employ of MIR. G. f. Rittenhouse
was proceeding through Kalorama woods, when
she alleges that Crusor, who had followed her
with handkerchief tied over his face to avoid
recognition, came upon her there and attempted
to violate her person, but was compelled by her
efforts and screams to desist In the melee the
handkerchief dropped from his face. She made
complaint at the station house, and Crusor hav-
ing been brought there under arrest was at once
held to bail as above stated.
The CANAL.-The Georgetown level of the
canal has been drained of water, and to- morrow
large force Of labOrers will be placed at work
cleaning the bed Of the canal out, and making
such repairs as are necessary previous to the
opening of navigation in the spring.
