The ELECTION The interest taken in the
election to-day was probably as great as that
felt in any previous political contest, and as the
weather was delightful, the vote polled was
doubtless as large as could have been we'll
brought out. Lutte attention was paid TO the
vote upon the amendments 10 the Constitution,
and 10 the Second Ward-the only Ward 10
which there vas an election tor Councllmau-Mr.
McKeuze had noopposi,iuo, but with regard 10
the success or detea, Of Geu. Hutton all was
the reverse Everybody seemed to be interest
cd and excited about it, aud purSuaslous of all
kinds were freely employed BY his political
frcuds and enemies. As anticipated Uy the
Gazette, tor the first time since the war, the
vote Of the colored people was at least partially
divided; we'll known colured cauvassers wearing
Hunton badges aud distributing Hunton tickets
were at all the wards working with as much
spirit for the success of the General as they
have heretofore worked ior the Radical cause,
aud apparently with success, for reports from
all the precincts are to the effect that the COL
ored vote was by no means unit.
In obedieuce to the Mayors proclamation,
all the bar-roumS were closcd-that Is: the
front doors-and though the police were vigl.
liant aud were reinforced by squad of special
policemen, so quiet Was the city that but one
or two arrests were made during the whole
day, and had it not been for the crowds around
the polls stranger would not have kuown that
an election Was III progress
At four ociock this afternoon the vote polled

New York, Nov. 3.-There was row this
morning in the Dist Ward between Coroner
Richard Croker and cxShertf O'Brien, who
is running as candidate for Congress in oppo-
sition to Hewett the Tammany nominee. Both
were backed by their friends, aud during the
fighting Que Of D Brien'S gang shot and killed
a Croaker man. Rcinorcements of police have
gone to the spot. \ tucd has long existed be-
tween 0 Brien and Croker for asceudancy In
the Ward, the latter being Tammany mau.
New York, Nov. 3.--The shooting aHray
in thd 2lst Ward took place at 34th street and
Second Avenue between politicians, during
which John Mckcnna was shot 10 the head.
while Thos. Maher received wound 10 the
right arm. From what could be learned OF
the atfray, 1t appears that cx Senator and ex-
Sheriff Jas O Brieu with a number of polit-
clans were ln second avenue, near 34th street.
About o. clock this a. m, Coroner Richard
Croker, John Sheridan, Geo. Hickey, Clerk OF
the Supreme Court and Henry Hickey, togeth-
er with a number of others walked up the
aveMue and The former became engaged 10 a
quarrel with O'Brlen, duriog which hard
names were exchanged. o. Brlcn's party
claim that Croker struck him first, while the
other side assert the opposite. A general scut-
fe eusucd, during which. pistols were freely
used, shot from one, Wou0Glug Mchcnna Ia
tally. The whole party were speedily arrested.
Croker dcuied that he had anything to do with
the shooting, not having had a pistol uor did
he know who did the shooting. O'Brien's
brother tells different story. He states that
Croker pointed pistol at his brother and was
about firing when McKenna went between
them aud Knocked Croker down.
McKenna also got Knocked down, and on
rising again received the bullet fired by Croker
at O. Brieu McKeDua stated that it was Crok-
er who shot him, but soon became UNCONSCIOUS
and is now 10 dying state at Bellevue Hos,

Within few weeks there will assemble
representative bodies of the Congregational,
Protestant Episcopal and Baptist Churches,
whose counsels and deliberations are likely
to have important bearing upon the future
of these Churches. On the 30th instant the
National Triennial Council of the Congre-
gational Church will assemble at New
Haven, Conn. This is a permanent repre-
sentative body, whose delegates are divided
into three classes, and are chosen by the
local and State conferences of the Church
This council has no legislative power or
judicial authority over the individual
churches. The purpose of the council is
to foster spirit of unity in doctrine,
church polity and Christian work, and to
discuss such propositions as maYtend the
moral advancement and interest of the body
which it represents. In view Of the great
scandal which has assailed leading minis
ter Of this denomination, the meeting of the
National Triennial Council is being lookedto
with extraordinary interest by the brethren
of the Congregational Church and the gen.
eral public.
On 0ctober7 the Triennial Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church will assem-,
bic in the city of Brooklyn. In addition
to the large lay and clerical delegations
that viii be present at this convention,
there will also be present nearly fifty bishops
who will have a constitutional voice in the
House of Bishops hequestion of Ritual
ism, which has been agitating and threat
ening this Church for some time, presents
