The annual town elections, that hideous ulcer on tho body politic, took place in thia city yese terday. A much largor voto was polled than on any previons occasion of a like charscter, The bummers wero out in full force, and although in several warda thoy secured possassion of the ap- pointed voting places, snd sttempted to commit wholesale frauds, thelr schomea for disfranchis- ing a large number of tho honost votars word ot no availl, Respoctablo citizons sad the Jarge propesty-omnors joined hands to make a common fight against tho tax-cating bummers, of whom Mike Evans can very proporly ba denominated tho ohief. Thoy turmed out in full forco, determloed not to be intimidat- ed or driven nway from their duty as good citizens, They fought the good fight, and ad- ministered to the unwashed and unterrided focdors st tho publiocrib as aignal & defeat sa they did Last>fall, “The total vote will aggregate in the nelghborhood of 80,000, which is almoat twico the Ilegitimate volo that ‘was sver polled st s town eloction in thia city, The Bouth Town vote will not be canvassed for two or {hroedays, but thero {s no doubt that A.

At 7 o'clock, whon Tux Tmmwite raportor ar- rived on tho ground, he found sbout fifty very decent gentlomon presont and waiting for the bour to arrivo when it woald be logal to elect & Modorator. Amoog tho leaders wers the Hon. Thomas Hoyne, Long John Wontworth, Ald. Dixon, Mr. Haskell, Mr. Grifiths, sud a oumber of othors of respectability. 0 Shortly befora 8 o'clock the nnwashed began to arrivo in all their native patridity. The rot- ten soum of tho lowest dopths camo, 8aif by concerted action, from all sides, on foat and in wagoos, and formed on all sideaof the gentle- men who guarded the doorway. It scemed ovi- dent from their sctions that thoy had not calcu- Iated on finding w0 many docent men en hand, and messongers were® instantly dispatched to tho nearest saloona and dives for more. In the moantime there bogan tho usual manourres of crowding and pushing. The gang which offered tharow snd bogan the hostiiities were almost boyond description. They wero absolutely noi- some and atinking in thelr persons, with forlorn garmonts, raroly having a shirt, and nover one whose color could be gucssed at, blear-eyod, brokon-nosed, living pickles of rum and froscood with fobscco: dirty, mot with the toil of tho laborer, but with the grime and filth of long neglect. A more horrible parody on manhiood then thess beings showsd could not bo concalved by ths moat vivid imagination, Tho writer has sson tho bull-pon whoro army bummers aud desertera wero herded togethor, aud it contaiued men. much more do- cent thnu tho mob of town voters yestorday. ‘The old Polk Streot Bridewoll was tho homo of about as loathsome cbjocts as humanity could produce, but they wore well-dreased gentlomen compared with the mob that came to capture yosterdny's election. But description is vain; thore ara no words in the vocabulary to picture tho ruflians, thisves, wrecks, and sooundrels thut formed the purty that waa led by CUUNTY COMMISSIONKNR CLYARY, DAVID THONNTON, sud one or two othor mon who havas seonicd to wish to rise above tha gang; Cleury, for in- stance, Lins ofton professed much; but it must now go on record that he has parformed littlo.
