NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Registration pro
ceeded quietly yesterday. Challengers
rarely have had occasion to enter protest or
ask for naturalization papers. The Sixth,
! Eighth, Tenth and Fourteenth Wards, from
present indications, will poll a vote much
| below the average; in the other wards the
chances favor heavy vote. When regis
tration is closed a strict Investigation will
| be instituted and every one whose name
does not correspond with the residence
given will be challenged at the polls.
The Missing ROgues.
Yesterday several of Ingersoll's friends
called on Sheriff Brennan and told him they
had expected Ingersoll back during the day,
but he had not arrived. They then sub
mitted the names of the persons who pro-
posed to become Ingersoll's bondsmen, and
the Sheriff, pronouncing these satisfactory,
it was promised that Ingersoll should be
produced at the Sheriff's office this morning,
and then, unless the bondsmen should de-
cline to become sureties for the defendants
appearance for trial, he should be released.
As to where Garvey is, Sheriff Brennan
has no accurate information, but he has rea-
son to believe he is somewhere in Canada,
and will eventually return. After leaving
the city, Carney sent instructions to his
brother to pay all small claims against him,
and several of these have since been paid.
An attachment was obtained against Gar
vey few days ago for s., 400, a claim for
work done for him by firm in the city,
but it was paid to the Sheriff by Garvey's
brother.
WOodward's return is not looked for now.
He is afraid to come back, it is said, chiefly
on account of the part he played to the As
sistant Clerk of the Interim Board of
Audit
Sold Out.

states that Judge Ledwith sold out to Tam
many during the Rochester Convention.

Siderations besides the Supreme Judgeship.
