Third Disirict.
The wCatherln Richmond yesterday, and
probably all over the State, was as beautiful
as could have been wished. The sky was
clear blue: the temperature was mild; the
streets and roads dry.
Since the withdrawal OF Mr.. Mullen made
the election Of George ID. Wise f0regone
conclusion. there was not that hustle and
activity about the polls that would have
otherwise been seen. Neither the whites
nor the colored people polled their full
vote.
The great mass Of Mr.. Mullen's support
ers came TO the polls in good faith and
voted for Wise, and with them a very un-
usual sprinkiDg Of Republicans. whites
and blacks, who were resolved not 10 fOl-
low the leadership OF the Hon. John >.
Wise.
The Democrats rejoiced in the fact that
their party. which was riyen asunder BY
local questions in MAY last, was once more
united. and the popular determination
was that ID shall long -cmlin so; that
hereafter we shall give 10 our Democratic
workinemen that full recognition which
their LOYALTY to the party so richly entities
them to.
There were no disturbances worth speak
ING Of in the city. II was quiet, orderly,
well.coDducted election. The voling was
quickly done, and only towards nIghtfail
was there any tagging at or about the
polls. Then, as men came homewlrd from
their work. they stopped to hear Whist the
result was. The only question was, What
will be wlse's majority in The city and IN
the district:'
There was precious little betting yester-
day. The biggest wager made was on the
basis Of four to one that Wise would be re-.
elected. Before the Withdrawal OF Mullen
il i probable that about two thousand dol
lars were bet even on Wise or Waddill; :;
but justbefore MuIlen's card came ont the
Wise men were Offering odds that he would
be elected.
The nquor-dcaers yesterday, with rare
executions. faithfully observed the law
which required them TO close their places Of
business. Very few drunken men were
seen on the streets-leSs than The average
even for a day when there is no election 10
