Referring again to the favorable position in
which the people Of Virginia were placed,
compared with tie people Of other states,
Governor Walker repeated the words Of the
chairman Of the New York Democratic Con-
vention, that 1t was time these discOris b.e-

the Southern people were 50 heartily for Hor-
ace Greeley. who appeared to them almos,
like an angel Of peace after their surrender
who opposed disfranchisment; who was will

were Outstretched across the bloody chasm.
Governor Walker resumed his seat annie

ELECTION DAY.

No sooner were the polls opened yester-
day morning than the votes commenced
to pour in. Two compact lines Of voters
were formed and steadily kept up during
the whole day. The tone and temper of
the crowd were excellent, though exuber-
antly enthusiastic for their respective |
candidates. At one o'clock We were in
formed that 795 votes were cast. This
surprised US, as we thought the polling
was proceeding quite slowly. Early in
the day it seemed to be the general i'm
preston that Kane was largely in ad-
vance of his competitor, Travis. Bets
were freely made on both sides, though
Kane had decidedly the call. About
noon an amusing incident occurred. A
thoroughgoing supporter of Travis hear
ing that bets of two to one were being
made against his candidate, put up
twenty dollar piece against $40. Not
satisfied with this, he took out his watch
and chain and bet that, then pulled Off
his coat and wagsred that garment, his
vest followed suit, and We thought that
in his enthusiasm he was going to strip
himself entirely, before he took second
thought. The dense crowd and slownsss
with which the voting seemed to proceed
made us regret greatly that Phoebe had
not been divided into two or three pre-
cincts. The polling would then have
gone on without any difficulty, and the
crowd distributed ov greater surface.
Whatever the result might be, it SEEM
ed TO us at middle day that a great
number of split and scratched tickets
were being polled. In the afternoon the
excitement increased, and also the crowd.
The stages from Salt Lake and Hamilton
came in much earlier than usual, bring.
ing several voters, who were Travis men
After this, US every vehicle drove up, the
passengers were vociferously cheered or
their political feelings being indicated
Up to three O'Clock no disturbance o
any kind occurred. Occasionally few
individuals would vehemently anuounc
their preferences, and for few moment
attract the attention of the swayine
heaving crowd, but on the whole goo
humor and forbearance seemed to pre-
vail. Towards the latter part of the al
ternoon, however, the crowd seemed
be more irritable. Though the saloon
were all closed, good many men hega
e to show the effects of liquor. AS the da
