= This trio OF tickets might have been thought
enough, but likings and dislk1ngs led to the con.
coction OF split tickets Of all sorts and sizes.
There was a phosphate Grabbers" ticket, and
Mechanics ticket, and an 'Independent Re-
publicanr ticket-the difference being In the
omission OF some particular names, which were
especially obnoxious to handful OF voters There
we're dozen Of these, and the voters, without
paying their money took their choice.
- THE VOTING.
1t was known that there would be some offers
OF compromise; but It was generally resolved to
vote nnoe and vote early. Soon after O'Clock
1.-THE polls were throngeu with anxious voters, and
1t -was rsmsfkgdthss citizens who had not de-
posted ballot since "the Union came In" turned
out on this occason.
WHO THEY VOTED FOR
Under the State law the commissioners OF cleo
tIons meet on Tuesday next to canvass the'vote
and. they are allowed ten days in which to do the
work Until their count Is published, the result
OF the elections cannot be known with certainty.
although an approximate estimate may, In a few
days.; be made. In:thls city all the indications
are that over ONE THOUSAND MAJORITY has been
given, for the Reform candidates. The result in
the county, however depends on the vote outside
the city limits. sd.i
The white vote was largely given to Bowen
early In the day. Tnis was mainly due to the
fact that Mishaw, the Bowen candidate for the
State Senate, having died on Tuesday might OF
country fever, Timothy Hurley-Bexen's First
Lieutenant-publlshed q card saying that he
would vote Tor Edwin Bates Reform candi
date, and urging his friends to do the same. This
srsmed o-gtvsshe whites a Qutd pro quo and
they voted heartily for Bowen.
aAcKEY'S HANGUVRs.
Between nine and ten O'Clock 1t was evident to
the supporters Of DeLarge, the opponent OF Bowen
for Congress, that things were not going as they
| wished. r. J. Mackey, than whom there are few
keener politicians in the country, scented his op.
portunity and made q diversion which, Tor all
| that Is known. may have routed the pictorial
| Bowen. Mackey, as we are informed, made q
stump speech, In which he denounced Scott and
Ransier and declared his intention OF supporting
Carpenter and Butler, provided that their
| friends would vote for DeLarge for Con
gress. As the Rerormers had no Congresslona
candidate, and as there was little room for choice
orer, and WAS pretty generally accepted. A lively
| barter business sprang up, and votes for ''De
Large for Congress- were freely traced OF fol
votes for the Reform ticket In some cases t,cc
and even three votes for Carpenter and Butler
were given, by the DeLsrgeltes, In exchange FOL
one vote for DeLarge. Ar. T. }. Hdckev, hfnaself
ro,ed the Reform ticket This conduct brought
down upon him the indignant condemnation o
the Scott negroes confirming, not weakening
his laudable resolution. Later In the day MI
Mackey visited the wharves In the same line
business, and he Is said to have Influenced largs
number OF votes In the terra incognfta "up th'
road.n His carriage was decorated with Reform
placards, and throughout the day Mr.. Mackel
appeared to be faithfully acting upto his cry o.
'War against the New England carpet baggers.'
| - THB ORDER OF The: DAY. -.
Amarked feature Of The day was the good orde
maintained In the streets and at the polls. Thous
ands OF whites and blacks thronged the thorough
fares, and kept guard at the different precincts
