are defeated. Gen. Lee, though he has re-
| signed mis- place as a member of the board
of visitors of West Point military academy,
federal Office, he is ineligible to hold the
place of governor. The Mahoneites all
alluded to this..pont early to-day and seemed
to be saving it in reserve. 1t is not
regarded as anything by the Demo-
Gratis and laughed at by them.
At the Whig office tonight all hope is
abandoned. 1t is quite certain that the
Democrats have SO or so of the 100 men,

twenty-five. The Democrats fix Lees ma
jority at something over 10000.

Special to the Globe.
PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. 3.-The cleo
ton here and throughout the state to-day
has been one OF unparalleled quiet and
good order. Last evening Mayor Jarratt,
| as precautionary measure, swore in a
strong force of extra policemen to do duty
at the polls, but there was but
| little need for their services, as
they had nothing to do but to look
on like other spectators. Very little has
been done to-day in mercantile way, and
business has given place almost entirely to
election. This afternoon Plummer Mackin,
a colored Democrat, was arrested ON the
charge Of attempting to vote more than one
ballot at the Fifth Ward pre- cinct. He was
lodged i'll jail, but Vas subsequently released
on bail in the sum Of $500 for his
appearance in the mayors court Tomorrow
morning. Early to-day the Republicans
discovered that the Democrats had circu-
lated tissue ballots and had also put in cir
culation Republican ticket, on the tail
end of which appeared the name of r. NJ.

part of the Democrats was denounced in I'M
measured terms by the Republicans. r. NJ.

10, 900 majority. Senator Malone and
Col. James d. Brady, congressman for the
Twenty-ninth congressional district of Vir-
ginia, have been constantly in attendance
upon the polls to-day. Congressman
Brady stated to your correspondent to-day
that he considered the election. under the
adverse circumstances, the most successful
victory ever achieved by the Republican
party in Virginia. Hon. James S. Barbour,
chairman of the Democratic state commit
tee, has just telegraphed to the Democratic
headquarters in this city that most of the
counties in the state have given large DEM
