WASHINGTON Tuesday, June g. 1862


The Republicans here very jubilant over the
result of yesterdays election Their victory was
overwhelming. They have 5000 majority on the
general ticket and have carried every ward in the
city thus placing the complete control of the City
Government in their hands. The only thing to mar
the glorious result was the unfortunate disturbance
at the polls of the election precincts The accounts
of the affair as given last evening were
greatly exaggerated, 1t appears, to-day, that
the cause of the disturbance was not simply
the voting of Democratic ticket by colored man.
This man whom the disorderly persons attempted to
mob is accused of being party to an attempted
fraud on those colored believed to be unable to
read. He aud number of Democrats got ont a
bogus Republican ticket with the names of the
Democratic candidates printed thereon. and tried to
palm of the same on the ignorant. When the cheat
was discovered the colOred people became incensed,
and in their anger endeavored to take the law into
their own hands and punish the guilty parties This
same man had also made himself obnoxious to many
of the coored men by of his having employed


large number TO work on some contracts for street
paving, given him by n Republican Mayor, and hav-
ing cheated them out of their wages The Star (nde-
pendent in politicsl speaking of the election in this
evenings issue says:


"While such victory well calculated to inspire the
jubant feelings shown to-day by the Republicans. II
would have been much more satisfactory to all thinking
members Of the party had 1t not been marred by the
riots In some OF the wards through the attempts OF some
reckless eooTed men 10 prevent voters OF their color
from exercising the right Of suffrage In their way.
The Impression will 90 abroad that the election
would have resulted differently had the colored
ballots unmDlested whereas We do not believe
that 90 eolored people IN the whole city would
mol
have he names Of the nngleadcrs in these riots aud they
should not fail To arrest them aud have them punished
20 prevent the repetition Of such This ~ only
act Of Justice 10 the great body OF the coord people OF
the city, who utterly condemn these outrageous acts. aud
should be held responsible the course OF the
rOwdy element that held sway for n time In the Second
Ward yesterday In regard to the attack upon Stewart
It should be stated that tho feeling against him was
donbtedy greatly intensified by his subcOn.

piiton for the cOn OF the ob but the fact
TO show that the raid upon him was not inspired alto
gether by his politics"


4 number of colored men who voted the Repub-
can tckot yesterday, wero to-day discharged by
their employers for no other reason than that they
had voted as they saw fit. The business firms guilty
of this small and mean piece of business had the
modification of seeing their names printed in one Of
the newspapers this evening.


Several gentlemen prominently connected with
the politics of Virginia arrived here to-day direct
