the CITY Treasurership, and on this
noint thew made . vigorous ehort,
which was evident from the fact tnss
The Republican candidate for this once
ran behind 1000 votes; but when they
Harmed the true state Of Affairs, they
must have been not only astonishsd,
hut must have felt actually crushed by
th. tremendous weight Of $4,000 ma
jori.y piled SC mercilessly upon them
by the opposition. The result aston
i.hed the victors themselves. 1t may
he said, however, that considerably
more interest was felt by our people in
New York affairs than in their own,
and the streets were crowded with news
seekers of this kind. Almost impass-
able throngs were gathered about those
places where the desired intelligence
could be most readily had, and when
II was at length announced that koo-
iuson had but 10, 900 majority in New
York city, it WAS felt that Cornell had
gained the day, and the crowds began

while lust now TO detail; suffice it u
say it must be painful to himself sno
ought also to pain the people Of Della

Policeman George Stevenson ha
learned q lesson In law that he vii
probably never forget. On Tuesday h
arrested James McCann at Fourt
Ward polls, without provocation or au
thority. The prisoner applied for an

stead Of accompanying McCannto Cour
allowed him to 60 there alone, sayin
that the writ was all right. MoCan
entered bail before Judge Ludlow, an
at once returned to the polls, where
short time afterward he was agai
causelessly arrested by Stevenson an
placed in confinement till the ne,
morning. The matter was brought b
fore Judge Ludlow, who informed ST
vsnson that he had been guilty of
most gross contempt of Court, and th'
fsuch things could be done with iu
punity the most serious results wou
follow. He therefore ordered him in
confinement until he could pay a pei
atty Of $50.
