cannot be said.
ALL QUIET AGAIN.
So far as could be gathered all was
peaceful and quiet in the city and the sur
rounding territory last night. There were
remarkably few stones and torpedoes, II
any at all. At late hour at night
neither the police nor the officers Of the
company at Seventh and Perry Streets
had heard.
There seems to be no further danger OF
disorder on the south side OF the river.
In fact, to the ordinary observer, 1t is
barely perceptible that there is any
thing unusual going on. Traffic has about
reached its normal stage.

Great interest IS taken in the political
situation. Three candidates for the Legis.
