Feeling In the City.

Foot1ug In the CITY,
An day long yesterday the huge marble pile at the
junction Of Fulton and Court Streets known as the
City Hall. wore the appearance Of having been par
tally deserted The crowd which usually hangs
about the sidewalk and on the steps was nowhere
- be seen, and the knots OF eignts ana tens who
were wont to oiter in the corridors discussing p0
tics and consuming bad cigars had "folded their
tents like the AraD and silently stolen away" The
usual number OF clerks and attaches or the institution
however, were at their posts, and attended each to
his affairs as they are won't About the County Court
House there was not noticeable any particular a.
minution in the number OF hangers on. Groups
we're scattered about here and there on the sidewalk
or in the rotunda, discussing mainly the monster
meeting at the Acad emy Of Music the night previ-
sus and the political situation IN general. demo-
chums, were observed leaning against the wall near
the entrance the Registers Oflce, holding AMI
mated conversation which was about as iOlows:-
REPUBLICAN-Now, Sam, there's no use your de-
nying that you people stuffed the boxes In nearly
every ward OF the city. We have proof OF 1t, old
fellow, and we mean soon to show you that we
have.
DEMoCRAT-Well, II the democrats have stuffed
the boxes or cheated IN various other ways, You
republicans claim, you have done the same. Why,
We propose TO show you in lew days that you COM
nrst portions OF the Seventh, Eleventh and several
other wards, such as were never before known In
any city.
REPUBLICAN-0d boy, your jibing now. You
can't sn0 that we have stuffed ballot boxes in any
district OF tine CITY, but you can bet we will show
that you have; and wen make 1t too hot Tor you,
700. once we get the thing properly before the
courts.
At this psnt third party stepped up, and, after
little further talk, oil retired to s'smile"
The public pulse In Brooklyn has, for the past
swenay-iour hours, been Oeatins high. The people
Of all classes seem to be, and are, evidently,
thoroughly aroused. Among the democratic masses
there Is an evident desire, equally strong that
professed BY the republicans to have all election
frauds. II there really nave been any committed, In
yesugated, anu the perpetrators thereof
prougat to justice. The mass meeting at
the Academy Friday night was the almost
universal subject Of conversation among
al classes. and all agreed that It grand AFFAIR
and ought 70 be productive OF good. The democrats
claim tnat II Will be productive OF good lnasmuch
- that IT win ultimately result IN establishing the
TACT that no frauds have been committed unless by
tne very parties who were Instrumental in getung
