THE RETURNS ON CANVAS.
Thousands of People View the Exhibit In
Front of the Dispatch Office.

Impatience is O characteristic OF the
American people, even in the smallest
details a life, and when great political
struggle s in progress this characteristic
Is more noticeable than ever. At such q
time bulletin-boards are the centres OF at
traction. and even the smallest items that
may tend to throw some light upon the re-
suit of the contest are read with the
utmost eagerness.
IL has been the custom of the Dispatch for
some years past to display the returns as
fast as received. Last night this was done
as usual. As the returns were received
they were transcribed, and by means or
powerful ealcium-light thrown upon a
large cloth screen which had been erected
in front of the office. DIR. W. II. Taylor
was in charge of the apparatus, which was
admirably managed. aud two clever young
cartoonists furnished racy cartoons Dear
ing upon the result Of the election, which
were alternated with the dispatches giving
the election figures. :,
The election news was enthusiastically
received by the crowd OF ANXIOUS politl-
clans, who as early as 7 o'clock gathered
in the street In front of the office and held
their ground until nearly midnight. 1he
cartoons elected great deal OF applause
and proved to be, as had Deen expecteu'
the most interesting feature OF the night.
Having private wire IN the once the
Dispatch was enabled 20 exhibit the bulle-
tins with greater facility than ever before.
The undertaking was an entire success
aud the thousands of eager spectators VINO
crowded Main street from soon after
o'clock until midnight were Afforded great
delight and pleasure. When large Demo-
cratic gains were shown the ANXIOUS voters
cheered Justify.

THEY DID NOT'FlGHT.
The Two CoancIlmen Arrested and Their
Differences Settled.

Differences Settled
The Dispatch Of yesterday. contained Q
full report Of the difficulty that occurred
between Messrs. Charles L Philips and A.
Il. Guigon Mt the meeting of the Common
Council on Monday night. Some very ex-
citing remarks passed between the gentle
men during the session of the Council
and after adjournment the trouble was re-
newed, when Mr.. Philips gave Dir. Gulgon
the lie and the latter struck at him. but
they We're prevented from engaging in a
personal renc0ntV by the interference OK
friends who were present.
WARRANTS SWORN OUT.
II was understood at the time, however,
that the two gentlemen would probably
have further trouble, and early yesterday
morning Sergeant Cosby swOre out war
rant charging each of them with being
about 10 commit breach Of the peace;
He then went in search OF Mr.. Philips and
found HIM at the headquarters OF the
Democratic party in Clay Ward. Mr..
Philips was paroled for his appearance at
the Second police-station at noon. and
Colonel Elicit, who is a warm personal
friend of both parties. upon finding that
warrant was also out for Mr.. Guigon,
assured the Sergeant that he would also be
at the station at the appointed time.
TAKEN 10 COURT.
At noon both gentlemen appeared
promptly st the station-house, where the
warrant was served upon Mr. Guigon. The
party. accompanied by Messrs. Elicit.
Courtney. and Grymes, then proceeded to
the Police Court, and arriving there
waited in the private office of Justice
Crutchfeld until the case was called:
When the Justice announced that he was
ready 10 investigate the charge Messrs.
Guigon and Philips, preceded 10y Colonel
Elicit. walked up. Colonel Elicit ex-
planned that as q friend Of both parties he
could say that the difficulty had been ad-
justed, and the whole trouble was the re-
suit OF q misunderstanding.
NOT UNDERSTOOD.
When Mr.. Guigon had apologized for his
remarks concerning Nlr. Philips's bull
doing" the Council the latter failed TO
hear him. and both gentlemen had mutual
ly agreed TO withdraw all offensive lam
guage or threats.
Justice Crutchfeld said that if this was
the case he would dismiss the charge.
Messrs. Guigon and Philips both said that
| they had settled the matter amicably, and
| thus the matter ended.
Going up the street after the case had
| been disposed of, Mr.. Philips said to Dir:
| Guigon that he was not made aware until
! on his way TO the courtroom that MIR.
| Guigon offered TO withdraw his charge Of
bulldozing the Council. He further said
| that he was talking TO q gentleman at the
time and did not catch Just what Mr.. Gui.
| gon said, and he regretted that he should
| have used any offensive language IN refer
| ence TO Mr. Guigon.

particulars Of disgracetul scene that oc-
CURED on one of the electric-cars, on Clay
sweet Sunday afternoon in which the ne
groes who nearly filled the cars became so
disorderly that tho few white passengers

umpb.
The intelligence from all over the dis
trict shows great falling of OF the Bow
den vote, and the indications of DR.. Law

though Judge Murdaugh failed TO divert

In this city DIR. Lawson's plurality is

In Portsmouth DIR. Lawson's plurality is

In Norfolk county the Bowden vote fell

dedly dispirited tonight,
Third District.
The sun wore n bright and smiling
couutenance yesterday and the stauneh
Democrats and true white men OF the
Third district were happily engaged in the
discharge of their sacred duty.
The election was quiet and orderly and
o splendid vote was polled considering the
fact that there was no opposition.
The result was the return to Congress
for the sixth time Of that true representa-
tive OF the peoples interest, Hon. George
ID. Wise, who has borne the Democratic
colors in every fight since 1880 and has
never allowed them 10 trail in the dust.
He has always been elected, though once
cheated out of his seat.
Richmond has never experienced more
orderly election or more perfect day for
voting. The closed har-room doors and
the sight of a few men around the poits
were the only evidences that 1t was cleo
tion-day.
NO OPPOSITION.
The Republican District Committee
failed Of a meeting until il was too
late to put up a candidate, and almost
on the eve Of election refused TO act, and

glory. The white vote was practically
solid, scarcely dozen white men voting
for Langston.
The negroes contributed in two ways TO
Democratic success--a great many OF them
voted for Epes and great many refused
to vote at all.
The Republican vote is the smallest ever
polled in this city, and during the day very
few negroes were seen about the polls.
In the First precinct of First Ward the
vote was not counted.
The election officers signed written pro-
test against the legality Of the election,
placed il in the box with the ballots, ana
gave it in the custody of the Sergeant. The
supervisors Of the precinct had taken the
observation-disclosures from the registrar 10

There is great rejoicing among the peo-
pie. and scarcely a Republican is to be seen
on she streets.

THE GARMENTS COMPLAINTS.
President Fisher to he Waited on as Soon
as lie Gets Here.

The Dispatch of yesterday stated that the
street-car men were stiil in session at 3
o'clock III the morning. 1t was some little
time after this before the meeting ad-
iourned. The list Of grievances was per-
fected. and it was decided that the next
step should be the presenting of them TO
the various companies by committees
already appointed for that purpose.
One of the carmen said 10 Dispatch re-
porter last night that II was not their pur-
pose 10 strike or 10 cause any trouble.
They think they have grievances which
could be remodied without detriment or
great cost to the companies. and they feel
that they are in the right. The two princi-
pal complaints are that often tho men are
made 10 work much longer than they
should be without tlmo to eat, and that
while their hours OF duty haYe been
heightened their compensation has not
been correspondingly increased.
President Fisher Is expected here IN
few days and il is the purpose of the COM
mittee 20 call on bim and the other officers
of the roads as soon as he gets here.

of the negroes, and at a meeting last Mon

DrscossoLATE NEGROES.
The condition of the negroes was truly
pitiable. The average colOred man feels ~
Is his sacred duty TO vote, and that a fail
ure so to do would entail disfranchisement.
IN most instances the negroes who WENT
the polls, finding that there was no Re-
publican for whom they could vote. drop
ped in ballots for George ID. Wise. Ihis
happened probably twenty times during the
dav. This same thing happened IN the
precincts all throughout the district.
JUDGEsHIPs NOT WANTED.
For once in the history OF politics in this
country Republicans, or rather few OF
them. refused Office. The Republican
iudpes showed disposition to obstruct
the election by refusing TO serve; i ms
was the case at Fourth Madison and Ihird
Jefferson. At the former the hepuohceah
Judge. Brown, positively declined 10 dis-
charge the duties of that position or sign
the returns, and no one OF that party De
ing willing TO take II third Democrat

WHO WE'RE VOTED PoB.
The Republican vote In the entire dis
trict will hardly reach much over hun
dred. Among those voted for by that side
were Judge Waddill, John Mitchell, Dr..

the others voted for Malone.
