theVnrlona VVnrl
HotisiderltiR the important, results drpendinir upon
the election to-day lu thu First Senatorial district,
It ta remarkable tiiat so llt.t.e Interest In beiHR mani
fested by the cl'.lzens residing within it limits at
leant this was thu case during the first few hours
this morning. The vote was very light indeed, and
should the same stato of facts exist during the re
mainder of the day, the ballots cast will nut approach
within twenty-live per cent, of the number polled In
October. The precincts where tho polls'are on that
occasion were crowded on their bcinr opene.l ; there
was tut s corporal's guard this morning. In many of
them we noticed actually more policemen present
than voter?. These blue-coated Individuals, con
trary to the police manual, occupied the pavement
in front cf and adjacent to the polls, but they found
little else to do thau to chut with their cronies on
the prospects of the day.
In Bcme places but few Democrats had as yet put
In an appearance, and It seemed as though it had
been conceded that what Republicans did come out
should be allowed the earlier hours of the day, and
then the nnteriiaed should turn out In the latter
part of the day and hold possession of thelineunt.il
the hour of closing arrived. Delays were occasioned
In several precincts by the non-arrival of the elec
tion ofllcers, and in accordance with the Keglstrr
law the polls were kept closed for one hour, when
the citizens assembled outside and selected those
who were to ofllclate for the day. Some confusion
ensued when voters who had moved into the dis
trict since the October election presented them
selves, but these cases were generally settled to the
mutual satisfaction of the window-book keepers re
presenting the two parties. Indeed we don't re
member having seen such harmonious actloc as ex
isted this morning between these two representa
tives of the candidates being voted for.
The colored voters outnumbered by great odds
the whites, and the only apparent Interest taken in
the election was by them. They voted solidly for
Mr. Lyndall, and very many of them bore silken
badges with the name of that gentleman printed on
them. We noticed one of them taking a white man
aside and insisting upon his voting for Lyndall, and
he Un ally succeeded In getting him into the line,
and he remained with him until the ballot was do
posited in the box. The colored politician then
walked on arra-in-arra with the white voter, the
Bcene creating much amusement among the by
standers. The new-made voters generally paid
more attention to their ballots than on tho occasion
when they first exercised the right. They would
remain at the window until they saw their names
properly registered and their ballots placed in the
box.
SEVENTH WARD.
The heaviest colored vote olled will be in tho
Seventh ward, where nearly twelve hundred of the
new-made citizens are congregated. Of these, over
6C0 are located in the First and Second divisions.
So much ditllculty was encountered in October In
polllDg this heavy vote, that Councils some days ago
passed an ordinance divioiog these two precincts In
three. The Mnyor withheld lifn signature, and the
fifteen days which he is allowed to retain possession
of a bill having expired yesterday, the ordinance,
having been given tho requisite legal publicity, went
Into eilect the same as if he had signed it. The
UFcessity for this division can be seen- from the fol
lowing vote in October, when over a hundred men
failed to get in their ballots: First division, 62."S;
Second division, 445. All through this ward, but
little interest seemed to be taken in the election, and
present appearances indicate a very light vote.
Order reigned at all the polls and tho large squad of
policemen present had nothingto do.
EKiUTH AVAJtD.
Quietness reigns In this peaceful ward, and, In
deed, to one would imagine that an election was
going od, did he not occasionally come across a
smnll knot of men, assembled around a poll. Con
trary to the uuual activity which prevails during the
early hours of election day, there were but few pre
sent when the windows were thrown open. Tho
mercantile portion of both parties seem to either
take no interest in the matter, or they are going to
put in an appearance during the latter portion or
the clay. Tho colored vote had been pretty well
polled at noon, so that the delinquents of the morn
ing will have a good opportunity to cast their ballots
this afternoon. Tho general iuipr jbsIoii here is that
the vote will be light and the contest close.
TWENTY-SIXTH. WAIID.
This Is tho Republican stronghold of the district,
throughout its many precincts than in an? otner
ward in which voting is being done to-day. The
prominent leaders of the Republican party are de
cidedly active in manoeuvring through the ward,
watching for the gangs or repeaters, with whiea
t he Democracy have been threatening to cut down
the majority for Lyndall suillcient to defeat him,
but as yet no New Yorkers or Kaltirnoreans have
presented themselves. The Democrats have come
out pretty strong, but the vote for the first three
hours Is not so large as It was during the same time
in October. What colored voters there are in the
ward presented themselves at an early hour and
have disappeared. There is not the same cause for
dissension as existed at ttn Congressional election,
and party lines are being strictly observed.
THS FOURTH WARD. .
We naturally look to the Fourth ward, on election
day, for noisy and riotous demonstrations, from no
other reason than that it is the very stronghold of
the nnterniled Democracy, the leaders of which,
having had so great an experience in manipulating
the auulrs at the polls, can change a return or stuir
a box with an ease, a grace, and an abandon per
fectly astounding. This morning, however, there
were no riotous outbursts, since at every pill the
Democrats, great and small, worked quietly but
diligently to roll up a big majority, and in such an
emergency as this In pol'tlcal ailUlrs tliey could not
airord'to waste time by Indiscriminately assaulting
whites and blacks win were opposed to them.
Their motto plainly was, "Work first, pleasure
afterwards."
They polled in this ward a heavy vote ; and by
cajollug and treating without stint, tliey managed to
secure a large number of votes of colored men
who had grown captious because, as they said, "iIr.
Cat to wasn't given any show."
At Eighth and Bhtppen, "Mulley's precinct," the
work was most energetic fc ere the Squire s.nilcd
benlguantly upon his underlings, and frowned despe
rately upon the group of respectable colorod men
opposite, acd supervised, with .that cuuuing and
keenness for which he stands notorious, the elec
tion olllccrs about the windows of tho polls. Few
f colored votes were polled here, for the very pre
sence or the famous Fourth ward gang was a suill
cient intimidation to make them hold alonf.
Accosting one of the Mayor's high otllcers, who
was in citizen's dress, we said:
'Do you anticipate any trouble here ?"
With a dubious shake of t'ae head, replied tue
Officer:
"Well. I'm afraid there will be a muss before
night, when whisky gels the upper baud and they
commence to 'pile' in the votes." Then apologeti
cally he sRid, "But you know as wen as 1 wuat tins
crowd is !"
The Impression prevailed, however, amongst tho
more respectable and Intelligent men in the vicinity
that In the district Lyndall's majority would not fail
snort or i5w.
A squabble occurred this morning at the polls In
the First precinct of the Fourth ward. A Republi
can from the western enq 01 trie want appeared at
the Dolls. Front street, near Mead alley, having in
his possession Democratic headings with Lyndall
stickers thereon. This excited the ire of one of the
"unterrified." and the twocame to blows. Of course.
the police were near at hand, and the Republican
was taken Into custody, and escorted to the Second
District Station House, strange to say, the prisoner
was not locseu tip, out aumuteu to nan.
It was a notorious fact in the management of this
election, that at the polls of such divisions as were
known to be Republican there were larjfe crowds
of policemen, lu uniform and out of it. and at Demo
cratic polls, not a solitary one. In the First divlsiou
of the Seventh ward, where there hat never been a
riotous demonstration s nce the colored men were
allowed the privilege of vo ing, there were tweltt
policemen, some close to tne winnow auu a nam-
1 r in citizen's dress, while at 'Mulley's" precinct
of the Fourth ward, where the art of ballot-box
stuttfeg la carried to its perfection, where all the
notoiious Fourth ward roughs congregate, where
there is always, before the pons close, some dis
graceful scene, not a poll-email tox to be seen. This
peaks well for the manner in which Mayor Fox's
model force exercise impartial justice.
SECOND WARD.
The election is being conducted quietly la the
Recond ward. At no one precinct can there be
found over ten or fifteen persons congregated, and
but little interest is evinced in the contest, an is evi
dent from the fact that a very light vote la being
polled.

then cut out a pane of glass in one of the full

them room to insert their hands and draw back the
fastenings. The burglars then entered and passed
to the sleeping apartments of Mr. and Mrs. t ile.
The latter was aroused by hearing footsteps in the
room. She called to her husband, but he made no

Attempt to Swindle the United States Mikt
Thk Whonu Flack YeBterday a couple of young
gentlemen, who must have been very ignorant of
the manner in wnicn business is conauctea at tue
I lilted States Mint, presented themselves at tdat
Institution with some dozen fine bars of what they
claimed to be sold of 18 carat fineness, exhi
biting at the same time a couple of samples, which
they say bad been tiled oil the aforesaid bars, for
atsay purposes. The bars had a very beautiful ap
pearance, aud to those not familiar with the weight
or tue precious mtiai, might very readily be mis
taken for the real stuir. No sooner had the stuif
fallen into the hands of the Mint oiliclala than it was
pronounced fictitious, but the young men were so
paid to convince that the bars were not of the same
quality as the samples which they displayed, that
the bars were taken to tne cuiei assayer oi tue es
tablishment, and byliim pronounced at sight as a
fair quality of inonze, wnicn nan been niguiy
pickled In acid to give it the appcarauce or gold.
The vouiik gentlemen were still unconvinced.
aud persisted that the samples which had been pro
nounced goiu i'V the usmver were: men on tue oars.
and therefore the bars must also be gold. Finally,
one of the bars was broken in naif, ana tue idci uis-
cloEed that the bars were simply a composition of
tin and brass, and the gentlemen departed, avow.
ing that their uncle had sent the bars to them from
Mexico, and they were sure that they were all right.
