COunty-The POstOffice De-
partment has TriumpEed.
Yesterday, the first of August, that long
heralded day for the politicians of all shades,
and one that all candidates for Office looked
forward to with anxiety, has come and gone.
The morning broke upon the city with a clear
sky and u burning sun, and gave promise
that 1t would be extremely hot for all parties.
The coroner-ln-chief having had all frame.
works that were to act as approaches to and
exits from the polls constructed day In ad-
vance, it only became necessary at nine
o'clock for every officer and clerk, as they
were to be at his place Of assignment. AT
the appointed hour the voting commenced,
| and for awhile the fingers of the clerks were
kept busy recording the names of those who
desired to exercise the great and glorious right
accorded to the freemen of America, regard
less of age, race or previous condition. They
did it, as will be testified to by the vote be-
low, for it is said the vote polled yesterday
| was the heaviest since the Bartlett movement
About twelve O'Clock the battle began to get
warm, and number of blacks began to get
crazy, as was evidenced IN the fights
| i
| tempted at several wards, followed
| by prompt arrests and Judgment in the sta
| tionhouse. In the first ward several quarrels
were raised, but no blows were given. In
the second, several fights took place. and two
| repeaters were arrested. In the third, with
| the exception of two quarrels, everything
passed off quietly. In the fourth no disturb
ance of any kind was noticed. In the fifth,
| one of the strong negro wards, quarreling and
| fighting was the order of the day. In the
| morning an arrest was made for shooting
with intent to KILL and in the evening, at
half past four O'Clock, a shooting affray took
place in which Joseph Day was shot
by Richard Dougherty, and almost instantly
killed. The sixth ward had several disputes,
but nothing serious occurred. The seventh
had its crowds of people, satisfied in every
respect. and all in good humor; so was the
eighth, with the exception of two or three
quarrels. The ninth shared in light disputes
and the tenth had its loud-mouthed negroes,
filling the air with profane oaths and bias
phemous language. With these remarks we
end the observations of the day, and refer
our readers to the following returns, as
handed in to Coroner Caldwell up to late
hour this morning:
