The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1872-10-17

Many of these written, tickets we're made up
upon the basis of Hobson's Choice, the candi-
dates for County and Legislative officers
named on that ticket being voted with but
slight alterations, and the m OF the state
officers being filled up In writing. A large
number of the Hobson's Choice tickets were
also voted Just as they were issued-Wlth the
State and Congressional offices left blank; and
many others were voted with but one or Two
names of candidates for State offices written
In. The great variety Of tickets that were In
tho field, and the complicated scratching that
was done upon all Of them, rendered the duty
of the managers in counting the vote one OF
no small difficulty, and the full vote OF the
county will not be officially returned for some
days yet.
There were but few Incidents of the day that
are worth recording. At the Eagle Engine
House In Ward s a remarkably youthful COL
ored individual presented himself as q voter,
was sworn, and was about to deposit his bal
lot, when he was challenged by a watohful
member of the Mackey faction, and upon To-
~vestlgation was found to be only about twelve
years of age. He was Immediately arrested,
and will receive attention In the criminal
courts.
The Federal supervisors of election and
special deputy marshsls behaved well as q
rule, and used their best endeavors to pre-
serve the peace and secure justice to every
voter. In a few cases, however, they ap-
peared disposed TO Interfere unnecessarily
with the managers of election, and 1t was evil
dent that many OF them had but q vague Idea
of their duties and the scope of their suthori-
ty. Some slight difficulty was experienced In
Ward l. owing to O Misrepresentation of duty
on the part Of the supervisors; and In the third
precinct of Ward 8 inspection street) an ar
rest made by one of the deputy marshals was
the subject of an excited and angry discussion
on the part of tho colored men gathered
around the polls, but In no case was there any
open rupture or any breach Of the peace from
these or any other causes.
There was an inclpient row during the after
noon In the neighborhood of thu Marion En-
CINE House, which, however, ~as promptly
controlled by Lieutenant Frazer and his
officers at the upper GuardhouBe. The
organization and management Of the police
force during the day proved excellent, and
the quiet condition of affairs throughout the
city was largely attributable to the prudence,
GOODNESS and judgment of the officers and
prlvates OF the city police.
