TREASURE CRY ELEcrIoN.-We have
no returns from Treasure City, but were
informed at a late hour last night that
Coleman was reelected Marshal by a
small majority. The balance Of the
ticket on which he ran WAS considered
doubtful. The main question involved
in the contest on the Hill was one reia-
tive to disincorporating the town-or
what was equivalent. the abolition of
salaried offices. Party lines were, there
fore, not very strictly drawn. 1t is al
together probable, however. that the
Peoples Ticket, fayoring a speedy dis
continuance of the city government. is
elected, with the exception Of Steele, for
Marshal. OF the $40 votes registered
about 500 were polled.
p. S.-Coleman is reelected Marshal
by 40 majority. The entire ticket IN
which he ran is also elected. bnt the ay-
erage majority is less. Both p7rties
favored retrenehment-still, the Demo-
Gratis claim to have won a victory, the
fight having been 80 shaped, we believe,
as to warrant the assumption.
THE CoLoRED TRooPs FoUoHT MOLLY
For the first time, the colored c~otizens
of this city exercised the right Of voting
yesterday. There were SO registered,
and all, without a single exception. voted
the straight Republican ticket. Most of
them voted early in the day. Neither
violence or jeering was interposed agai st
the newly enfranchised citizens from
any quarter, and as a rule. they came mp
in twos and threes. deposited their bal
lots unostentstionsly, and departed IN
peace. The most exncting Democrat
can not claim to have been contaminated
by the orderly. meek manner in which
the colored people deported themselves
yesterday. Truly, the colored troops
fought nobly.'
SHARP PRAcrIcE.-Our assessing corps
have been in the habit of assessing all
Mormon teams that put in an appear
ance in the city. Mormon settlers hav-
ing dropped on this course Of proce-
dure resorted to sharp practice to evade
paying taxes. Lately a npmber of pro-
luce peddlers came within a mile or two
of town and then proceeded to negotiate
the sale of their wares to our local deal
ers. employing job wagons about town
To make the delivery. Deputy Assessor
Henley came down on the evasive saints
like a thousand of brick and made
them pay on their personal effects TO the
last dollar. 1t il not probable that AN
other of lions own will attempt soon to
defraud the revenue laws of the country.
The ErFEcT.-The closing of the sa-
looms yesterday resulted in throwing a
larger %concourse Of people into the streets
than has been witnessed in this city for
many months. Throughout the entire
day knots Of people were to be seen on
every hand, discussing the merits OF can
dldates for the various positions to be
hlled, and otherwise manifesting n Lively
interest in the contest. Refreshments
were to he had in private rooms in all
parts of the city, especially in the I'M
mediate vicinity Of the polls; yet a more
qniet and orderly election never trans
pired in any Country than was That oil
yesterday in this city.
SHERMANTowN ELEcTIoN Further than
that the election passed off quietly in
S~hermantown, we have no particulars.
There were only 100 voters and but little
ia.erest was manifested in the result.
As in Treasure City, a question of econo-
my. or a total discontinuance of the
municipal government, entered into the
contest.
REAL ESTATE FOR TAxEs.- The Sheriff
will sell, to-day, for taxes. some of the
best property in Treasure City. Some,
of course, goes TO sole for the purpose OF
getting a better title; bus in some cases
owners will not he present, and the prop
erty must sell for the taxes; and the title
is the best possible to hold under.
RESTAURANT FURNITURE o SALE
Geo. 4. Davis & Co. will sell at 10
o'clock this morning. without reserve,
all the furniture of the chop stand known
as No. o. 1t is a rare chance for the
purchase of articles in hat line at low
prices. See advertisement.
soBER.-Sobriety was the rule in this
city yesterday; not n drunken or bolster
Gus individual having put in an appear
ance dnring the entire dav that we heard
