As soon as the polls were opened this mornlng.they were surrounded liy throngs, and have continued crowded thus far into the day. a lilMsrarrful Scene nt the Central Nfntion Beserve Policeman Mo 4 riliRhtly Olllclona. Yesterday evening a scene occurred in front of the Mayor's OMce, which was highly characteristic of the Democracy, ami disgraceful in the extreme, in which a Democratic iiouuciiiu mum u j-uiuocraue nolieeman figured extensively. Samuel Carson, tvhoe name Is known in every part of the city, being anxious to invest a little of his surplus cash on the success of the grey-bearded individual who, on a fortune of ii5,ooo,ooo, pays bnt fs-ya inu Undo Dam's Treasury, offered to bet with a gentleman who was standing at Fifth and Chesnut sts. The friend of eary and Carson stepped into the Telegraph oitlee, but tne latter couldn't find enough money. They both retired the Weary man going on the steps in Iront of the Mayor's oillce, and Carson proceeding up Filth street. The latter, however, turned and went up to the man and struck him. Reserve Keigler, No. 4, ran to the assaulted party, arrested him and locked him up, allowing Carson to go on Ills way Hut shortly afterwards, this well-known poli tician was knocked down by a man whom he in sulted, and who was sit ting in an ambulance in front f the oillce of the Chief Ku;lneer. This man was arrested by High Constable Curley,who also directed the arrest of Carson. T wo ot her arrests were made of parties sitting in the ambulance, and at 0 o'clock, all the prisoners except Carson anil the man he struck, were before the shining light ( !) who attempts to administer justice at the Central Station. The names of those present were W. F. Eggleaton, Henry Tot, and Robert Osboru.

What became of Carson no one seemed to know, although he was, as before stated, locked up by direction of High Consta'jle Curley. This 1b another chaneo for an Investigation by Mayor Fox of the conduct of his policemen, and the committing magistrate at the Ceuttal Hla'lon, who has but seldom required tho production of deeds in far more lnipotsnt cases than this.

At one of the closing meetings of tho Uoa-d of Aldermen the magistrate of tho fourth ward .mde use of threats that tho city would lie mtv wlili people who would not allow the election to proceed under the operations of tho Registry Uw. it was Whispered around yesterday afternoon that th; ro would be an arrival of Plug I'glies from llultimore who were to participate in the election to-duv, in any manner In which they should bo directed by the Chief of the Plug I'glies of Philadelphia, it was un derstood that they were to vote In the names of dead men, of non-residents, and particularly their duly was defined to be to take possession of tho poll's luring the early hours of the day and vote in the names of Republicans, so that when the latter ap peared they would be ruled out by the election oill cers on the ground that that name had been -oted liefore. It is believed that by t ho latter course alon Several hundred Republican citizens, In tlm Third fourth, and Fifth wards, will be cheated out of their 1 o'clock this morning the gang whe loaf about Ninth ami Chesnut suvets coma tie seen wending their way westward, and on being "pined ff" they were followed to the various ilrlnkerles In the neighborhood of Iiroad ami Prime streets. There they were Joined at i o'clock by Alderman McMullin, and the whole party went into the Haltiinoro depot, where the train containing the roughs arrived at S -80 o'clock. In detachments of two und three they left the depot, took the carriages in waiting and drove rapidly away. For a time sight was lost of them, but on reaching Eighth and Sansom streets the whole party were dis covered in front of a puolic house in the lust-named Street. The carriages were drawn un in front of this catabltfhmeut, and here amttu tli leader of the De mocracy in the First Congressional district figured. The work of this crowd we may be able to chronicle In our edition of to-morrow. UlCilliilllu'n Doniuln. To vote early the adherens ui King William did not care. They preferred evidently to sleep away their recollections of a night of haul work ami bring all their energies to b ;ar on the main question of the day "Vote often." At 9 o'clock, therefore, every thing through the tro inn want wus ipnetudo itself, but by 10 o'clock the sleepers shook themselves ami repaired to the pollln f places. About the same time.

It might have ben truthful, bnt It wonld have ben highly Imprudent to Impute to these a Baltl morean origin. Iadem Boon appeared for these parlies, and anon they took their wavs In pairs of fifteen or twenty, and all the morning travellod from precinct to precinct. What they did there will PAt the fllxth precinct of the Fourth ward, at No. 707 South Sixth Btreet, the business proceeded quietly, save now and then when some poor Repuiv llcan was challenged. He wan at once "necked" and nnnn out of the lino, and the orthodox BteDtw up In his place to exercise their royal jroiogatlve. The whole Democratic ti here ran ahead of Its regular vow up to 13 o'clock. At the Seventh precinct of the Fourth ward, at No. C1B Shlppen street, the voting was all on one Bide, and "Packer" was a popular name. Here, If any where, the Democracy of oilier cities than Philadel phia "did their duty nobly," as a venerable Demo crat told a brother of his own creed on the spot. A Democratic ticket holder and a well known person about Independence Hall was here busy indeed. At one time a gang of about, ten young roughs came to within a block of the polling place, and were met by this person, who lost no time In pointing out to their leader another person whom ho accused of "scratching" and "sticking.". "lt's watch him, fel lers," said the leader; and accordingly a deUU left the gang to watch the "scratcher," who probably before this reaches our readers wishes he had never been born, for the detail were evidently chosen for their aptitude for "putting on heads." fntll noon, however, no blow had been struck, and but little ex citement was apparent. Prophecies were rife though that before midnight a rough time would reign In that, region. Alter noon, when whisky commenced to flow, and angry words were exchanged, a crowd on the corner of Seventh and Shlppoti streets started a tight among themselves, and pistols, knives, and black lacks were used promiscuously on friend and foe. This scared the decent portion of the people away, and In consequence, but Democrats were voting. The Eighth precinct of the Fourth ward is the redoubtable Billy McMullln's own particular work ing place; hence here were gathered the "choice spirits" muscular spirits, In good sooth. Here tho presence of Republican Inspectors or canvassers seemed a farce, and a solitary Republican ticket holder seemed to know it. lie looked as though lie was every moment In danger of being soused in the lllthy gutter and car ried away to a cemetery, and the surrounding crowd looked as If they'd like to do It. The man was wise, though, and held his peace. The "unwashed" voted unchallenged, and no Rcpuolieans, during our re porter's stSy, showed themselves. "William" him self was noVto be seen. It may be guessed, though, ne was not uttc. Keep Vour Month Shut ! At the Seventh precinct of tho Eitrhth ward an Inquiry of the Republican outside window book holder brought forth the reply that "they vote; lust as they choose and I daren't say a word. If I chal lenged one of these I'd be knocked on the head and pitched into the gutter." A query to another Republican at this polling place brought the advice to our reporter to be a little carelul. "You kuow you'd better keep your mouth shut down here. They're hour d to have It t holr own way." And so till noon the "Rloodtubs" did. We'll Win Anyhow. At Eighth and Fallon streets, well known as "a sharp place," there was. as elsewhere, a certain de gree or quietness, nut tnere were not warning those to predict it only the calm before the storm. Flushed faces thronged around tho window-book men, and towards 1 o'clock there was a continual wrangle, which promised well for bloodshed later in the day. Here, too, a policeman in "citizen's" clothes was electioneering quietly until accosted by a citizen, who referred him to Chief Mulhollaud's order. He continued his occupation, notwithstanding the pro test, and deserves to be casnierea ror ins trouoie. Democracy Attend. Eleventh and Fitzwater streets, the Eighth divl Bion of the Third ward, was a scene of turmoil from early in the morning, and but few decent people were to be seen at the polls. Democracy was of course iu the ascendant. A TiK'it FlRht. In the First division of t'.io Eighth ward, at Eighth and Sansom streets, the line was formed early and voted pretty evenly during tho forenoon, neither party hnving any gain to boast of. Although the presence of the police was not absolutely necessary at tins piace.it wouin nave iookou oeuer to nave nan an olllcer or. two here, lu view of former misde meanors committed by the same people who fre quent tho vicinity on election days. The Koundcrn in the Fourth Wnrd. The business of making votes commenced at aa carlv hour, and althoueli the law in regard to voter's name being on the list was partially adhered to, yet there was a disposition on the part ot the reirular manipulators to throw aside the lists and vote everybody who presented themselves, providing tliey voted the regular uuwasneu ticKet. There is little or no excitement at any of the places of voting which came tinder tho notice of one of our reporters In McMullln's dominion, but It should be recollected that the "rounders" had not yet commenced to absorti their regular doses of the agitating fluid. However, there need be no fears but that the "black spot" of the city will be true to her record, and ere the r hades of evening shall fall there will probably bo enoiijrh deeds done to occupy the attention of the Corom r lor the next three days. "Mully" expresses the greatest coulldence In the success of the great 'CoiiimlHsary,"aud as he is King oi the Ring, as well as First (irand Oracle of tho Dcinociacv, bets are freely offered that the whole ticket will' be successful. Strange as it may appear, little or no money backs up the talk of tho loudest. The Directory Maker are on hand, and can be seen going lrom door to door in the small streets. Whether these are "Mully's," Gospll's, or McKlroy's, we aro not prepared to say, although It may bo somewhat of a satlslaci im to kuow that all the two names will be voted; the uld ones ha ee been voted already ! The rounders arc all at work, and great work may be expected. Tho i;ieventli Wnrd. A tramp through the Eleventh warl this morning found the election progressing quietly, with no ap parent signs of a disturbance of any kind. This Ward is one of the main Democratic strongholds. There are three thousand voters within Its borders, and a majority of one thousand Democratic votes is looked forward to at every election. At 9 o'clock this morning the voting was going on vigorously, and continued so till after noon, when the precinct houses became in a measure deserted. The Republicans polled their votes early in the day and, according to our informant, they had responded in large numbers. At one of the polls in t.ils ward we noticed two life-long Democrats cast their votes for the Republi can ticket. Those who blood around tho window witnessed this proceeding with astonishment, and could not understand why the voters so acted, but an investigation proved that the change was brought about in couHequeuee of t uo withdrawal of Robert Moore as a candidate for legislative honors. It will be remembered that Samuel Dailey and Robert Moore claimed to be the regular nominees on tho Demo cratic ticket for the Legislature from the Ninth dis trict, i'.y some means Moore withdrew only yestor diio, and Daily was left In possession of the Held. The two personB referred to above were Moore men, and Incensed ut the cond.ict of their candidate, ami despising Dailey, concluded to vote the Republican ticket, which they did. The instructions of the Mayor to the police force appeared to be generally curried out In tills ward, in one instance, however, we noticed a policeman, in full uniform, standing at the window, and from his actions he appeared to be taking a great interest in the voting. The nii-ierable wretches of New Market und Willow streets were turned out of their abodes early In the morning, and were first niivlo to cast their votes for the Democracy. They appeared iu strength, as they gem-tally do in this one of the banner wards of the Democratic party. The l liiei mli Wnrd. In this, as in ninny other wards of the city, cutting Is pretty extensively practised. A peculiarity oi this election Is the wide-spread dissatlsfacMon that exists on the part of many adherents of bolh parties apainst some of the nominations. Oftentimes the ticket seems to be too ha'd to swallow until cleared of Its oliiioxluusiieKS. 'I he "rings" generally run their worst men in the strongest precincts, trusting they will go through without much opposition; hii at nines iiieciicens are independent and couscleu tiouH enough to run an independent ticket agains Uicin.

In the Eleventh, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth wards we noticed tho following placard posted In conspicuous places: jrviinn-'miM, jiewarei LOOk to VOIir Tleketa The enemy has Issued a spurious Democratic Ticket. in iie jugiitecnin ward one Edward Mullen, a cnmlldate for Common Council, is moving heaven and earth to secure his election. He has a card posted around with the words thereon, "Irishmen, Catholics, vote for Edward Mullen for Common council. ' The Twentieth Wnrd. This ward, like the Fifteenth, is a seenre Ronubli- enn stronghold, the two together having given a combined majority of over twenty-two hundred votes fortleneral Grant, in the Presidential election last year. A tour this morning through those districts convinced us that t hey were also alike in "scratching" Humor ui uic iiupniuiuiiiu names, governor weary, in some of the precincts, did not come fully up to tho average of the Republican ticket, but ran behind ninny iu mik niiniuitiea iur county omces. instances arc known where men, who gloried In the name of radicals, and had voted the ticket straight for years, deliberately cut out or erased the name of his Excel lency from their ballots, though we heard of Mit ono case of this determined oppokition to his re-election inducing a vote lor nis opponent. The Legislative worthies Cloud and Runn ran far betler In their respective precincts of this ward than their corrupt practices of last winter deserved; but their names were occasionally slashed into. Iu some neighborhoods the Democracy was restive under the new nominations for the county oillces, bnt our inquiries could not develop tho fact of any extensive "scratching" on their part. Up to noon no disturbance was threatened in this section of the city, and there is no prospect of any breach of the peace in this quarter. Tho Centre or the City. Up to the time of going to press, in the central por tion of the city, embracing the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth wards, everything has been very quiet, Savo a few drunken men and betting char acters, none were around the polls disposed to create even the slightest disturbance, the voting was progressing with order and regularity, and every thing indicated that the entire day would pass in peace. It was evident that in at least a majority of places the police officer were strictly obeying the Mayor's instructions in regard to their bearing during the election, and were stationing themselves near the polls, to bosurc, but still not so near as to interfere w 11 ri the line of voters In any degree. It was impos sible in those wards of the city ascertain how tho candidates are running, from the fact that the tickets were so split that even the most shrewd and knowing were perplexed and confounded. x At one or two of the voting places squads of suspicions-looking characters were lounging, and, If the words of bystanders can be credited, they were divi sions of the crowd of Baltimore roughs reported to have come to the city Ih last night's traius. The Independent Itcform Party. At but few precincts in tuts city are tho placards of the Independent Reform party exhibited. The earnest temperance men, who are the prime movers in this organization, are, however, by no means Idle. Desj lte the apathy and opposition which alike exist among the major part of the many thotisaud advo cates of toinl ubstinence In this city, a great deal of quiet canvassing hRs been done by personal appeals. This morning over eighty active men are at work lu their respective precincts. The Nineteenth, Twenty, fourth, and Tweury-slxtn wards are expected to pall the most votes on this ticket, ns they have been nwre thoroughly canvassed. The Fifteenth and Sixteenth, with the oddly grouped Fourth and Tenth wards, will rank next. Certainly no one can doubt the room for reform in "Mully's" district. A careful es timate several days since made the expected vote equal three thousand. If it reaches that amount, it may materially affect the result. VliOCEEDINGS IX COURT. No Power to Compel llio Reception of n Ballot. The Court of Common Pleas, all the Judges upon the bench, sat this morning to hear complaints of any unlawlitl obstruction to voting at the various polls throughout the city, and to regulate all such matters as t-liould require their Interposition for the purposo ol securing a fair election. Vacancies in Hie poll cillees, which were only discovered to-day. were filled, oaths administered to tho officers, and various orders made. Mirny perbons who deemed themselves fully enti tled to vote, and who, indeed, upon the representa tions made :o the court, appeared to be -so. com plained that their ballots had been refused, and came to ask relief, but iuvariably the Judges an swered the injured parties that it retted solely with the election officers themselves to decide upon the qualifications of each voter, and that if they refused a legal vote wilfully and maliciously, they were lia ble to a penalty, but the court could take no action in the matter. From the Sixth division of the Eighteenth ward came a complaint that the watchers appointed at T o'clock in the morning would not be admitted by the election officers to the poll. Tho Court thceupon issued an order commanding the officers to put these watchers In the poll, and the Sheriff was directed to go end see this order obeyed. The Sixteenth Wnrd Election Officers Defy the Court and the Nhcrill. A similar complaint was made from the Sixth division of the Sixteenth ward, coupled with a boast by tho election officers that they would obey no command from this court. The judges, saying they would see aoout tins, mane a similar order, and gave it into the hnnds of the Sheriff. IU me co-use ui uu nour luu oiieriu returned, anil stated that he had made known to tho officers the order ho was to execute, and iu a quiet way nrged them to submit, and avoid all difficulty; but they refused to comply with tho demand.

During the Interviews that took place lately be tween the Emperor, General Prim, M. Silvela, Span ish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Olozaga, tho Cuban question and that of tho selection of a King were discussed. General prim, says tue ram cor respondent of the Morning Star, stated it to lie the intention 01 rpain to mnintiau ner ngut to cuna, and that she reckoned on the good oillces of France and England with the Government of the rnited states to induce that power to maintain a strict neutrality In case of open war. His Majesty is reported to have acceded to General Prim s re quest as far as Frauce wus concerned, and to have said that, Judging from a recent conversation he had held with Lord Clarendon, he had reason to believe that England would give her moral support to Spain, Tho ItebatH expresses a strong hope that France will by no means interfere with the populations of the Antilles, iu case they resolve to throw otf the Spanish yoke even as the inhabitants of South America did at the beginning of the present century ; ami considers that these oppressed populations ought to be able to reckon on the support of Govern ments deriving their power irom tne sovereign win of tho people and from the popular vote. The Debatu deems it to be of vital Importauco to Franco that she should preserve her friendly relations with the I'nited States. If the American Government demands that Spain should recogni.e tho Cubans as I clligercnts, it is only a Just reprisal for the policy adopted by Europe towards the rutted States during the late civil war. 'j ne message oi uie rrcsuieui to the Spanish Government, (lit rtxte, appears to have been greatly exaggerated. lie merely im plied the possibility of his being compelled to recognize the insurgent Cubans its belligerents. The President's words, however, will require the sanction of Congress, which does not assemble till December. Meanwhile the American Government proposed its mediation with the revolted Cubans, on condition of Spain granting several liberal conces sions of considerable importance, such as the gra duul emancipation of slaves, and tho admission of deputies elected In the colonies to a scat lu the Cortes, etc. The ebntn disapproves of any foreign mediation, and docs not consider this latter proposal of the American Government us acceptablo to Spain. As to the question of the selection of a mon arch, the abdication or King Luis in favor of the infant Don Carlos, under tho regency of his grandfather, and Kiug Luis being elected King of Spain, is strongly urged, and is said to have been discussed by the Emperor and General Prim. The young monarch, however, stoutly resists this proposal, and has asserted that he was Portu guese hy blrih, und Intended to die in his own coun try. It is true that tho mtttrr of kings of lato years having proved no sinecure, an oner of a vacant throne Is by no means a tempting one. La Liberie reproduces the King's letter to the Duke dc Louie ou this biibjeit. It is manly, straightforward, and Inde nt lulcnt. Tho King, remarking that certain news papers persisted fn uiliruilng his Intention or abdl- i.t.ng in favor of his son ami committing htm to the i gmcy of his august father, and of his accepting tl e crown of Spain, requests the Duke to give his ii ost unqualified contradiction to the report, PHILADELPHIA STOCK EXCHANGE SALES.

The Fenian Amnrntv Meetings. London, Oct. 12. The Times, in an editorial on the Fenian amnesty meetings, says, "The Crown is In- vlted to pardon rebels who do not pretend to bo penitent, not because the conspiracy Is crushed, but because it is still formidable enough to rally sympa thizers. No one doubts the right of the Government to suppress with vigor outrages against law and order. Had the forbearance of the Crown been In voked in a becoming tone, with a recognition of ita rights to protect - peaceable and loyal citly.ens, amDcsty rnignt be the message of peace. At present we seo no presumption that It would be received In that spirit by thu demanders, while it must operate as a discouragement to those who helped to crush tho Fenian outbreak. There enn be no greater Injustice or Impolicy than such ai act. If Ireland is still Fenian at heart, or hostile to the union, we believe that a majority of the Irish would rejoice at the suppression of Fenlanlsm, and that some who sign tho amnesty petitions would bo thnukful If the petitions were rejected."

Further Particulars of one ofthe Mont Horrible of Crimes The Primmer Trnunmann What he hits to say about the Butchery. The English and French papers are still occupied With stories regarding the murders near Paris. Tho correspondence of the Star says that on September 27 the prisoner was conveyed in a closed carriage from Mazas to the Morgue. He was unaware of the object of the drive, and imagined that he was pro ceeding to the Conclergerle in order to undergo a,--cross-examination. Ho was therefore per fectly unprepared for the spectacle presented to him or Gustuv Kinck's freshly dug up corpse. As on tho previous occasion, ho feigned tears ; bat he was really' atartled. M. Douet d'Arcq . put the usual question: "Da you recognize this body?" "Yes, It is Oustav." "Y ou niurdertd him?" "No ; it must have been his father. The wretch-. ' only fancy his murdering his own son!" In vain the judge made a touching appeal to htm, addressing him as a man on the verge of eternity, and implor- , ing of him not to persist in denying to himself the consolation it would be tl him during his last hours to reflect that he had at least confessed and repented of hu great sins, and thus might crave forgiveness from his Create. The few words the magistrate said were to the purpose, and uttered with unfeigned emotion. The excellent roan's ef lotts were, however, fruitless. Though Traup niann replies to every question, his an swers are in strict conformity with the line of defense he has adopted from the first namely, that he was merely a subordinate employed by Kinck prre in fact, a mere looker on. He signed tho proees verbal with a firm hand. Tho ques tion arises, does his signature correspond with the handwriting ol the letters supposed to bo received by Madame Kinck from her husband, Indited, as you are aware, in a strange hand, in consequence, as stated therein, of his having sprained his wrist? If Kinck pere sprained his wrist so severely that he could not hold his pen, how comes it that he suddenly acquired tne strength that Traupmann Imputes' to him, re quired to deal llio murderous blows which caustd the gaping wounds to be seen on the corpses or seven Individual? Tho Fiaro adds that Traupmann is at Mazas, in ' the large cell on the ground floor which serves as an in firmary. This room has three beds, and the tiiur- ! derer has for his companions two other prisoners. who no uoi quit, mm ior an instant, miring tue night they keep watch In turns; moreover, the door of the cell is always half open, and the keepers are ever ut hand. The criminal wears no strait-waistcoat or fetters or any kind ; In fact, he is lu such a state of depression ami weakness that the precaution would be useless. He does not exchange a word with his keepers, but groans and sotis without ceasing. At Mazas, Traupmann was visited four limes by a priest, but scarcely re plied to tho ecclesiastic. He hardly speaks even to two prisoners of good conduct appointed to wat ch him. We are Informed that, upon being ques tioned by M. Claude, he answered: "Yes, I had two accomplices. But why should I tell you their names 1 One head is quite enough, and I shall not cause three to rail." We insert the phrase under all reserve, as we have reason to believe it apocry phal. On Sunday niornlng he refused to- take the slightest rood, wishing to let himself die of hun ger. "Since death must come," he said, "better let it be at once." At this moment his two guar dians interfered. "Why despair?" they said, "ne have ull passed through the same ordeal. As long as you are not condemned, you should ulways hope to save your life." He shook his head with a decided negative. "Even after you are sentenced," continued one of them, "you will still have an appeal to the Court or Cassation and a peti tion for pnrdon. Those proceedings will give you time, aud If you are determined to die of huuger you can do so then." Truupmann at length decided upon taking his food. All the day ho read the Mfaganin I'Moremve, of which he successively asked for seve ral numbers. In the evening he dined with a good appei itc, and slept soundly. An Idea thrown out by the French press, to tho indefatigable activity of whose special correspondents many Important reve lations aro due, strikes one a? rational. Klnuk pere wus probably murdered the day or night previous to the writing of the first letter m a strange- handwriting, ami, therefore, lies buried in the vicinity of what ever locality that letter Is dated from. Tha whole corn spondenoe is in the hands or the police, After Trnupmann's confrontation with the seventh corpse he wus taken back to Mazas, accompanied by Drs. Pentad and Bergeron, ami undressed before them, lu order that they might take note of the number of scrutches ami wounds on Ills body. Tho field wherein the seven bodies were deposited hud been plowed up by order of Uio authorities, in the hope of ill- covering Kinck pere. The ground was kept by . the Ninetieth Reirlment of tho line, Colonel Wlll nette and four olllcers being on duty. Nothing of importance was discovered.
