Baltimore Roughs."

1t maybe that less whisky was consumed
yesterday than on the day before; at the same
time the drunkards were fully as numerous,
but certainly not near so pugnacious. As it
was, how ever, there was an ample supply of
street brawls, and no person who sought for
any kind of a row from q fair stand-up or
rough and tumble mayhem tussel to bowie
knife encounter need have taken any further
pains in the course of his search than to
stand on Baltimore street and call out for
Hayes. The most serious demonstration
which occurred during the day took place
about 2 O'Clock in front of the South street
entrance of the american office. A bulletin,
favorable to the Republican party's success,
had heen posted, and some colored men stand
ing near, pronounced it good. A rowdy,
whose name could not be ascertained, made
several insulting remarks, and cried, sect
out of here YOU black" Some of his COM
panions at the same time aimed blow at one
of the eolored men. Somebody called out,
''You had better run, they'll kill you fellows"
whereupon the colored men started down
South street towards Lombard street. The
rowdies followed close behind, giving vent to
the most terrible oaths and indecent language.
The police force, however, managed to get in
front of the CHS, and forming line across
South below German street, were able to stop
the mob, while the colored men made good
their escape. During the time this exciting
chase was in progress some eyil-disposed per-
son threw torpedo on the sidewalk, explod-
ing it with report like pistol shot. In
mediately dozen pistols flashed in, the air,
but no further shots being heard they were
replaced. About 5o'clock the mob lost many
of its numbers, who went to supper, return
ing at night with renewed vigor to cheer and
shout like the maniacs they proved themselves
to be-BaltiElore American, 10h.

Lead-Pipe Thieves.

One of the class of thieves who have come
to be called daylight thieves by the police, aud
who operate in such way that they are rarely
caught, was captured yesterday. The class re-
ferred to is that which confines its operations
to stripping vacant houses of lead pipe, bath
tub lining, spigots,gas fixtures and other moy-
able plumbing material. A thiet will in a
short time do hundred dollars of damage,
and realize but trihing sum from his plunder.
Mr.. John L. Edwards, residing on street, be-
tween Nineteenth and Twentieth, yesterday
at nocn heard noise in the adjacent vacant
house, of which he is the owner. He Uniformed
Officer Kirby, and that officer went into the
house and brought out a colored man named
John Roberts, alias Thomas, who was just on
the point of leaving with bag full of lead
pipe, bath tub lining and spigots. Three or
four houses in this vicinity have been robbed
in like manner, and as Roberts has been seen
lurking about there, he is supposed to have
done all of the mischief. He offered considera-
bic resistance to the officer, and after he had
been locked up in the Fourth precinct station
he tore up the bench in his cell and broke the
door open. lie was secured Immediately and
handcufied.

WHO'S AHEADT-
Waiting to Hear the Returns-The Interest
About the City,

ouo0t bAS SAbys
The excitement about town incident to the
election had abated considerably yesterday.
There was not near so much noise 1s on the
preceding days, but there was a quiet and in
tense interest, which manifested itself in the
form of questions. "What's the newsp was
the first thing said o1 every occasion. Busi-
ness men neglected their business to run out
and learn what the latest bulletins said. Wren
a took enan drink he had first to tell the BAR
keeper who he thought was shead. II m an
settled down in barber's chair the inevitable
question would be poked at him as the barber
brushed the ,laehcr into his mouth. Vixen he
went home TO dinner he would have to tell his
wS{e and all the boarders gust what he Thought
Of it.
A lawyer had a card posted consFicuously
Tn his Office, ave heve not heard anything
from Florida, and don't know who Is elected" !"
During the day meagre crowds gathered about
the telegraph offices and read the dispatches
from time to time posted in the windows. The
news was of such character that both Repuo-
licans and Democrats welt away with some
thing to comfort them. "It's settled now,
was the expression generally induleed In py
both in the same joyful accents.
A crowd stayed about the Republican head
quarters, on F street, all day, but very few
dispatches were received. Shortly after nine
O'Clock Mr.. Simon Wolf made short speech,
in which he said the present assurances could
only be settled beyondrcavil on the part OF the
Opposition by the official returns, and these
could not be expected before Monday. he
advised all to go home and restcontented until
the last nail was driven and clinched, when he
felt confident they could meet and interchange
their congratulations on the assured success OF
their candidates.
Mr.. III. Rice, of Maine, followed in a SINH
lar strain. and the crowd dispersed.
There was very little disorder during the
day. Occasionally an arrest was made, and
crowd would gather from every quarter to fel-
low the unfortunate to the station-house.
About O'Clock NJ. Patrick Bresnehan got
into political discussion with some colored
men at the corner of Third and c streets
northeast. Their dispute was spirited, and at
last words come to blows. In the scufie
Bresnehan was worsted. He got several
scratches and bruises. He was rescued by
some bystanders, and left for down town to
hear the latest news.

A Forgetful Memory,

Yesterday morning, before Judge Smell, in
the Police Court, General Birney, Assistant
District Attorney, stated that he held war
rant sworn to by constable named Thomas
]. Bicksler, and copied by Officer J. R. Sut-
ton, charging Edward and Isaac Jones with
keeping a gambling house at the corner Of
Thirteenth and streets, known as "The
Club" Bicksler's affidavit was that he
(Bicksler) while in said house was robbed,
of money by means of a certain gambling
game known as s'faro." This warrant had
been regularly drawn by Justice Plant, and
that morning Bicksler denied all knowledge of
such proceedings, and said he knew nothing
against the house. Under the circumstances
the Court entered Hone pf0Scgui.
