LOCAL MATTERS.
Yesterdays Elections; Vote on tho
City Hall; the Contest I'm jackson


ward.
Yesterdays elections were as quiet and
about as unintcrcsting as any ever held I'M
Richmond. The Conseryatiye-Democra
general ticket nominated at the recent
primary, in which over $500 voters particl-
pated, had no opposition, aud in Marshall,
jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and Clay
| Wards. the like was true as TO City Coun-
ul and magistcrial tickets. The only
ward i'm which there was a contest was
jackson, the stronghold OF the colored
brother, where the Republicans appeared
to be split. and the whites bestirred them
selves and made glorious fight with the
results given below.
ON the question Of authorizing the City
Council to appropriate 100000 to build a
! City Hall there were but a small number OF
negative votes. Many persons went to the
polls solely with the purpose o! giving that
scheme the help OF their votes, and while
the aggregate Is not large II i certainly true
/ that most OF those Who voted yesterday
were property-owners; and it is fair to
assume that they truly represent the com
munity at large. or the votes cast against
the City Hall proposition it was noticeable
that quite q number were given by colored
men.
