E2 munds, Chairman Republican Committee: At the election held in this city to-day the Greeley party had full control of all the polls The managers were all defnocrats, and disregarded the provisions of law, and would not allow republicans entitled by law to cast their votes. After attempting to vote for several hours, they abandoned the polls and went home. Over tw: thousand republican voters were deprived of their right to vote. The good behavior of the colored men only,prevenied serious trouble. Colonet E. Bryant, deputy collector of customs. Was seriously assaulted by the plag w who had been appointed special deputy sheritts ‘The very worst class of the white democratic element were sworn in as special deputy sheri tts.

This morning the roads leading to the city were picketed, and voters from the country were driven back, and not allowed to come into the city to vote.

At the same time the defendant ought not to be tried by the assions and prejudices of men. Organized by lon, the jury must carry the prisoner in their human charities, and may pot touch him until his guilt has been to appear.

Perry Carson —_ | Chaetes Irving at vos: HURT. About 1 o'clock this afternoon considerable excitement was created on Pennsylvania ayo- nue, at the 7th street corner, by a shooting affair in which Col. Perry Carson and Charles Irving, both colored politicians of some note in S>ath ‘Washington were concerned. Carson is a mes- senger at the Ivstrict Executive office, and Irving is an employe of the Center Market com- pany. At the time of the attray the two were heard in altercation, after which Carson moved across the street diagonally towards a strect car going up the Avenue, and was followed by Irving who was calling him various opprobious nam: Carson then drew a revolver and fired a coup! of shots at Irving, when he was seized by Officer Thomas Clements.and in the melee was thrown to the ground. The officer at the same time received a painful but rot serious on the head from some quarter. Carson, on rising to his feet, declared his willingness to go with the officer ‘and was taken, together with Irving, to the central ' guardhouse. On reaching there her altercation ensued between the beiligerents which was suppressed by the officers, and they were placed in separate rooms. From the words bandied between them it would appear that there had been aa old feud Gating back some two years. This had been re- vived by an affair at a political meeting at Island Hall the other night, when Irving seized acolored man by the name of James McKinzy, who bad proposed three cheers for Chipman, and threw him down the steps. Car- son on hearit this occurrence made some ree marks ar to w. be would nave done had he been there and Irving had laid his hands on him. The affray to-day seems to have sprang up from this affair, resulting in the pistel-firing —_ in which, fortunately, no one was in- jured. Carson was subsequently taken to the Police Court, whence he sent a messenger to John T. Jobnson, at the Columbia buildings, on 44 ~» street, who went his bonds for answer the charge of assault and battery on Irving. The case will be heard in the Police Court to-morrow. a’ The Railroad a = Feot of the Cap- ol LETTER FROM MR. A. KR. SHEPRERD TO GEN’L BA x. The following letter was addressed by the vice president of the board of public works to Gen'l Q. E. Babcock : OcTonER 1, 1872. General: The condition of First street west, from Indiana avenue to Maryland avenue, is such as to injure the appearance of the tal grounds and destroy the street for travel, owing to the imperfect and to the rail track, which is so laid as to be an obstruction to travel. It is the intention and wish of this board to cor- rect these evils by paving the street, as well as Maryland avenue, and to remove the tracks for the purpose of adjusting the grades, requiring the company owning such track to replace the present rails with euch as are used by street ratl- roads, which form no impediment te travel. As the removal of street obstructions and the cus- tody of the capitol grounds are in your charge, ite to ask that you give this board your sanc- tion and authority for this work, and farnish such suggestions a& may occur to you in connee- tion therewith.
