The returns from the precincts of the d;f.
fercnt city wards were received SO la.a las,
night. or 20 early this ,Rorning, that they
could not be communicated byi teh,pra,,l
As was TO have been expected, after iie VIII.
drawal of the independent RepuhIica,t cnn.
dates the election was, AS It were. h inc.
handled business, pretty much all the votes
being cast one way--for the regular Radical
ticket. Some show Of fight was made hr tho
Conservatives over the Council tickets In the
wards. but owing to the recent gerryn1anle,
Of their boundaries even that interior line
was swept away by Republican majorities
ranging from three to one hundred. But
two Conservatives Were elected to the Coun-.
cil---MeSsrS. r. II. Brooks and William r,
Mallory---and they were on both tickets, In
to Third and Sccoud Wards respectively.
some Conservatives threw away their ballots,
in voting for the ward nominees, Oh the In
dependent boilers, and all sorts of queer
votes were deposiled-"sor Dolly Warden and
"Doggett's dog, not Doggett," for General
Grant. &c. ~. .s.s ~ ~
There is prevalent belief among some OF
our people that the boilers were bought of
with cll>ton,-housc money. so IL to save the
great injury which would have been in
Iiictcd on the party by the defeat OF the
regular candidates. OF this nothing can be
definitely known. and rather incline to the
opinion that there Is no foundation 1or the
suspicion. t-
1t Is unprecedented that the Radicals who
We're elected will have 10 little difficulty III
getting lrondSmcn, especially j. N. Is. Stew
ard, Commissioner of the Revenue, who,
