OLD MARKET PRECINCT.
The total registration yesterday may
be considered as large, the number Of
colored percsons being quite surprising.
Things were quiet and comparatively
orderly at all Of the precincts, with prob
ably the single exception OF the Old Mar
ket precinct. where the silvertes had
placed a man, whose conduct was very
much complained Of by those who went
to that precinct for the purpose or hav-
ing their names placed on the books.
The mans object seemed TO be 10 fright
en- away timid voters. whom he had any
reasons whatever Tor supposing would
vote against free silver He was very
obstoperous in his actions. and his re-
moval from the precinct would be well
coined by those who must go there.
