The city of Tort au fnnoe, or, as it is sometimes
called, l'ort ttpublican, is ttio capital of the tit-pub-lie
of Haytl. It is situated on the west coast, at the
head of the Tort au Prince bay. It is built on ground
that rises gradually from the sea and irom the bay.
The buildings present the appearauce of an irregu
lar amphitheatre. The houses are generally of
wood and two stories in hei?bt, so constructed with
a view of better withstanding earthquakes, with
whloh that part ot the world is often visited. In
1761 and 1770 the city was nearly destroyed by one
ef those terrible visitations. However, a lew oi the
loupes are built ot brick and stone.
The principal buildings of note in the town are
a Roman Catholic church, a college, iyoeum, custom-house,
mint, and hospital. A considerable
trade is earned on between i'ort-au-l'rince and th
United btates. Iblghty-three vessels flying the
United States flag, with cargoes valued at 827,904,
entered this port during the year 1857-68. The same
Tessols returned with cargoes, tho estimated value
or which was $10,981, 830. The town has been often
visited by largo conflagrations, the principal of
which were those ot 1794, 1S20, 1822, and 1850. The
.estimated population is 80,000.

Uwine to our system of conducting; elpcbons,
namely, the precinct system, whereby tho vo'ers are
so distributed in small squads through the city that
it is almost an tmpossibi ity lor any number of them
to congregate together at any one point daring
election day, there were no disturbances of any
mouient fiom the time the pohs opened until the
OOBO of the same.
A strauRor in the city would hive had no reason
to suppose that dunns yesterday our citizens were
engaged in an election of more than ordinary in
terest, lor beyond the appearance in the streets ol a
tew btnnibnnps, coi. taming bands ol music, and car.
rlagcs bonigoriveu hither and thither, covored with
placards containing political djvices and names ol
candidates, tho city presumed its usual appearance.
Xowarus evening, however, the streets ougan to
disp'ay evident signs of lito and excitement, tor a
snort time alter the closing ol the polls, thousands
corgregatod at the different points where oloolion
returns wore expected, and much enthusiasm was
nianilosted as the returns wore read at theso diffor
rent rendezvous lavorablu to iho political proollvi
ties ol those assembled.
Mo serious disturoances occurred during the even
ing although a lew street lights took place bctwoon
individuals.
Xbe main points of Interest dnrinv the nhrht were
the Union League House, the Democratic Head
quarters on Walnut street, and tho dillbrcnt news
paper offloes .
Below we give a summary of the notable events of
the day and evening,
Xbe glowing bonfires in all the leading streets
sent np a iund glare that colored the heavy over
hanging masses oi clouds with a bright fascinating
buo, as lively and soul-inspiring as the goo 4 news
circulating below.
From 7 o'clock nntil the "wee sma' hours" tho
scene was au animated and busy oue. i'olegraius
were constantly being received from all sections ot
the city, and at later hours from the State, which
bad to be compared with the votes of former years,
and alter being written in triplicate sueets, plucod in
tho prepared frames on the second story balcony,
from wlicnco tho lighted transparencies could be
read at great disiaucos. Iho labor was a most
arduous one, but many of our leading citizens
worked until ingly lor hours in the labor of love
afforded by chronicling; tho g.orlous results for tho
Union.
As Judge Kclley, on rotlring from the Leaeuo,
appeared upon the steps, he was reoognized by the
populace, greotod with immense cheers, and imperi
ously calied upon for a speech.
In response be returned bis thanks for the honor
done him. They had planted him, to-day, a thorn
in the side of Andrew JohnsoD, and bo would prick
him to the end of his official term, for President
Johnnon had been guilty of highly impcaoaaole
oflennes. (Cheers.) The President may go out of
ollice belore 1808. (droat cheors.) 1'he quotion
whethor he will or will not be impeacaed depends
greatly upon the facility ot the machinery ef the
Government provided by the Constitution.
'ihe glorious announcemen s of Allegheny, 9000:
Dauphin. 1200; Lancaster, 6000; Eile, 4000; Leba
non, 1800, with too following record, were wel
comed with tremendous enthusiasm. At eleven
o'clock was given this placard :
For Congress O'Neill, Myers, Kelley, and
Taylor"
This touched the hearts of tho people more deeply
than any ot trie preceding, eliciting one of tho
grandest, most enthusiastic demonstrations.
Throughout the night, the record continued,
until, tired out with good ne as, Union citizens went
borne, content to wait until the morning for the
lullost details.
Ihe Eighteenth Ward Myers Campaign Club, pro
ceded by a band ot music paraded through tan

and presented i heir u-nal neat and soldier-like ap
pearance. They marcued to the Union League

achieved.
