RO GREAT FALLING OFF IN THE VOTE. List of Semators and Members of Assembly Chosen as far as Known. ORDER, QUIETNESS AND SOBRIETY, &e., ko. Sudjoined will be found all the returns of the election in this State made out from the reports received up to five o’clock this morning. ‘They are placed in as comprehensive a form as it is possible to do so, and will show pretty clearly the turn ‘which the vote hag taken. It will be seen that the demo- cratic star is again in the ascendant in New York, and will ‘appear brighter and brighter stil] as the full voto shall become more clearly developed. If the returns from all parts of the State show the same republicgn losses and demo- cratic gains as are indicated in our tables, the democratic Stale ticket is elected. The number of votes polled is small compared with that of 1856, when the three great champions of the dif- ferent organizations were in the field; but that fact was fally anticipated, as such is invariably the case after a Presidential election. ‘The vote which we give for Secretary of State, in this city, will vary but very little from the official canvass, and may be relied upon for its accuracy. We also give the mames of the candidates who have been chosen in this city, and a list of the State Senators and Assemblymen elected, as far as heard from. It will probably take a day or two to complete the list. SCENES AT THE POLLING PLACES. FIRST WARD. Never was such a day as yesterday recorded in the po- Aitical history of this rather excitable, belligerent and pu gilietic district. Whether this was owing to the financial erisie or to the fact that the democracy were both united ‘and harmonious, it would be difficult to say, but probably the peaceful character of the election was attributable to ‘Doth causes. There were some angry discussions at one of the polls, and two of the disputants o far forgot the freedom of speech in the heat of debate os to enforce their arguments in a way that the law neither sanctions nor allows. How. ever, 8 it was not considered a case for official inter. ference, the police merely separated them when the digcussion waxed too warm, though not before they had ificted some damage upon each other. At one of the polls an I refused to allow the arrest of a man ‘who wan accused of illegal voting, and an ex-policeman was rather severely handled by some pagilistic indi. ‘videal who Lap gre to differ from him in opinion. Witb ‘the exception of these cases, there was nothing to enliven the election, which, in the expressive language of one o the Ucket holders, Was a rather stupid affair. FOURTH WARD. ‘Yesterday was one of the quietest election days ever known in this ward, although the law requiring the liquor dealers to close their stores was almost entirely disre garded. Here and there a porter houge had the shutters wp, but the door was open, and business was done at the ‘ar as usual. The Fourth is one of the fighting wards, Dat the entire absence of interest in this election pro- ‘vented any thing of the kind yesterday. The fact also, that the democrats were having it all their own way throughout the city, tended tomake mattersquiet. The op- felt no disposition hire can vassers or spend money electioneering purposes, and the democrats being as- sured of victory, also refused to bleed ,and ag a consequence the boys felta touch of the hard times, They consoled themselves, however, with the prospect of another elec- tion in December, when perhaps moraginterest would be felt in the cholee of Mayor. At the close of the polls there was some #kirmishing in Cherry street, and several of the rioters were arrested, Captain Walling was un- tiring in his effort to keop the peace of hie ward. The Jaw in relation to ticket stands being erected at some dis- tance from the polls was very generally observed. There was but one arrest for attempted illegal yoting in thia ‘The name of the party was {John McLaughwood. He was locked up for examination. THE BLOODY SIXTH. ‘The olection in this ward yesterday passed off with much quiet and good feeling, in comparison to which it has for many years heretofore. But few fights transpired throughout the day, which were confined:to three districts, and were soon suppressed by the police and citizens, The voting was much lighter than last fall, ‘and was, in the main, conducted with much order and de corum. Immediately after the closing of the polls, most ‘of the parties who had been hard at work electionooring for their respective candidates throughout the day, very good naturedly retired to their respective headquarters, and there prepared bonfires of tar barrels, &e., which they amused themselves in burning during the fore part of the evening, and from time to time cheering their re spective candidates as the results of the canvaes were an pounced, The utmost good feeling seemed to exist on all sides. The following is an account of each of the re spective districts separately: — Tn the First district there were forty three votes polled, all told—two American, ten republican, thirty.one demo cratic. The porter shops of the district were, with oue or two exceptions, closed throughout the day—hence, every thing passed off perfectly quiet. In the Second district there were three hundred and seventy-three votes polled. Barroom of the place, and many of the porter houses of the district were open during the day. PAT half past three o'clock every thing had 4 off perfectly quiet m the district. About that time, however, a row, which at the time promiged to be very serious, took place in the grocery and liguor store of W. 0. Murphy, corner of Park street and Mi lace which resulted as follows:—Michael MeDovan, & jetter pafrier, was sitting if Hae store in converwation with Mr Murphy, when_a party, sald to belong to the so-called Dead Rabbit Chat, is kald to have come in and, as ie alleged, without any provocation attacked him as he was sitting on @ barrel A co melee then ensued, in Which Mr. MeDevan, Mr. Murphy, and one of the party who had apparently come in with the assaulting party, fook sides against the assailants, during which the three were very roughly handled. Mr. Murphy was hit on the Jeft temple with a heavy iron weight, and severely the back of the head with « stung shot, ¢ wound, The police, two in number, and worked hard to quell the riot, but to Odds were greatly against them. One of the party leaped upon the counter, drawing and pointing a revolver at the two officers, declared that he would bk e first Man's brains out who attempted to interfere them This caused’ the two. policemen to leave the piace im double quick t The news of the row spread with rapidity to the Fifth, Sixth and Second district polling Places, and soon drew together a crowd of several thy sand persons, many of whom were ready and anxious for a row. Simnitaneonsly with the arrival of the crowd came other police aid, who, with the officers who had heon driven from the place, re-entered and speedily cleared ft _ of the crowd, and closed the doors, which up to that time had been Kept wide open. The crowd then slowly dispersed in large squads in various directions to the se ‘veral districts of ward, a large number of them stopping on the corner of Baxter and Worth streets, and after various riotous demonstrations, fired of two or three pistols, which had previously been conspicuously — by some of the ringleaders In the Third district several of the principal porter houses in the vicinity wore closed throughout moct_of the da Ww Mittle ‘excitement, Total number of votes In the Fourth district there wae but little excitement ‘and one small row, which took place in the shape of a flight ekirmish between two young men in front of the io about four o'clock ‘The = parties «= were wer, S00n Keparnted by the police, with q@ut any severe injury being enstained by’ either.

In the Fifth district evoryth " Whole mimber of votes, mF Se eee ae arrow The Sixth district, which ie jn the very midet of the so-called Dead Rabbit locality—the polis being held at No. 12 Mulberry street—was somewhat noisy through- out the day. There was a large number of the club at the polls throughout the day, all united in sentiment and in political feeling, although work: for each of the three parties side and side—a large num! the republican ticket, and thereby Ment and sport for the two exceptions, everything off with the utmost good feeling. All of the liquor stores in the vicinity were in full blast, and who desired had ample it not been doubt a serious outbreak would have taken place on seve- ral occasions throughout the day; as it was, however, the fighting was confined to @ slight skirmish be- tween two or three parties early in the morning, which was soon ended by the police and Dunn, and an assault on Nell Dufly, an ex-policemen of the Fourth ward, who had ventured into the polls during the latter part of the afternoon. Mr. being known as identified with the which Fourth ward and the Dead’ Rabbits of the Sixth ward there bea deadly feud existing, trict before he was recogulzed ‘and watched a as soon as a favorable opportunity . ‘was pretty Severely andled for a tinute or two, but soon released and escorted out of the ward by Sergeant Joseph Souder, of the Sixth ward, and Mr. Dun and'hia followers. John McGinnis, identitiod with the »_bo- tween whom and the Dead Rabbits there is alsg a deadly fend existing, ventured into this district for the of depositing his vote just before the polls closed. He was narrow!y watched, but not interfered with until after he had deposited his vote and turned the corner of Chatham and Mulberry streets, out of sight of the officers, when anumber of the Dead Rabbits immediately gave chase and run him as far as Chatham square, without, however, assaulting him. The total number of votes polled in this district was 819. In the Seventh district everything was very quiet; li- quor stores of the district mostly closed. Whole number of votes polled, 220. At the Eighth district, which was the principal rallying point for the Bowery boys, every thing passed off very agg! It had been rumored during the after part of the lay, that the Dead Rabbits were making preparations to come up in the evening and attack them. Accordingly, reparations were made to give them a warm reception. enty-five muskets were prepared and stored in a room near by the polls, ready at @ moment’s warning, in addi- tion toa loaded cannon, which was placed in the Bowery near the corner of Canal strect. These instruments of death, however, were not brought into use,as, so far from making any attack, the Dead Rabbits were striving their utmost to prevent any serious outbreaks in the ward. To- tal number of votes polled, 367. But few challenges were made during the day, those ‘that were made for the most part fp Belper before the final oath was administered to the challenging party. The total number of persons arrested and taken 40 the station heuse were four, as follows:— John McLoughtin, for attempting to vote it at the Sixth district; locked up in the station house. John Boyle, for voting illegally at the Fifth district. Mr. Boyle swore that he resided at No. 8 Mulberry street, which, it seemed, proved on investigation to be false. He was locked up. James Barr and James Kennedy were taken to the Sixth ward station house by officers from the Fourth ward, charged with attempting to vote illegally at the polls of that ward. They were locked up. SEVENTH WARD. At all the polling places in this ward, except 73 Market street, the most perfect order prevailed during the day. With the exception of the officials, there were but few of the friends of the candidates about, and the closing of all the groggeries and groceries made it appear more like Sunday than election day. At the polling place in Market street there was @ row, and afew cut heads. A number of rowdies from another part of the ward came to this place, and one of them, named Prendergast, struck Ser- geant Sparks with a sinng shot, and officer Prendergast also received a severe cut on the head from a club, be- sides baving his thumb bit. After the officers had their wounds dressed they were able to go on duty. A little boy was stunned by the tumbling of one of the republi- can boxes in Henry street on him. He was carried to a drug store convenient, where on application of smelling salts he soon recovered. a EIGHTH WARD. This ward consists of eleven districts, and at nine of these the election passed off without the least disturbance occurring to mar the harmony of the political parties who were represented at the various polls. But in the Fifth district a number of the free and enlightened citizens of that locality, thinking, from personal observation, that the republican stand was only in the way, and in no very gen tle words declaring that the rephblican affairs in gene. ral were only nuisances, came to the conclusion that they, would remove the obstruction without further delay. So they pitched into the stand and pitched into the man inside of it, who, in the ki t manner {i 5 was banding very itinocent looking and prettily folded pieces of paper to every one who hay to pass his neadquarters. The individual so suddenly ejected from his box, not relishing the evident desire upon the part of the foe to give him another box in exchange, started un- der high pressure speed for his domestic circle or some other place of refuge, closely pursued by a dele- gation of the pugilistic gentry who had so Kindly assisted him to abdicate his position. ‘The stand was demolished instanter, and all the emblems of the party to whom it belonged were soon among the things of the past. Inthe Eleventh district some of the fancy in the early part of the day indulged in a free fight, by way of keeping their hands in, soasto be “up to time” when the municipal election in December comes along. This fight, like all other political fights from time immemorial, or rather since politics were theught worth fighting about, terminated without forwarding the interests of either of the parties in question. As usual, a number of the combatants were knocked down, the affray ending by « grand finale of jumping upon those who had been so wn- ceremoniously ‘prostrated. The principal movers in the row having been, for the time, placed hors de combat, the melee terminated with noserious harm having befallen the participators in this innocent amusement, NINTH WARD, ‘The balloting in this ward was very spirited iu the early part of the day, but quite dull in the afternoon. Our re porter visited the various polling places, and perceived that perfect order was maintained by the police, render- ing it impossible for any disturbance to have been suc- ceasful, were the citizens disposed to indulge their com- bative instinets; but on the contrary, the entire ward was as quiet as it usually is on the Sabbath, all the liquor sa. loous being closed up. In Wi sireet—considered the roughest part of the ward—there was considerable excitement throughout the day; bat so far as could be learned there was no need for the services of the police. ‘This ward being the stronghold of the American and re. publican parties, the ‘fusion’ vote polled yesterday js said to be very large. ELEVENTH WARD. ‘The vote cast in this ward yeaterday seemed to be very emall compared with that of last year, and little interest appeared to be felt as to the result; all parties conceding alarge democratic majority in each of the election dis- tricts, Peace and quietness prevailed in the lower and middle sections of the ward, but in the ipper regions” there were “ wars and_romors of wars.”’ In avenue B, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, « battle royal was fought by two gangs of rowdy boys, known aa the “ At lantie Blues’ and the “Forty Thieves,” which lasted three or four hours. Paving stones and bricks were hurled at each other with a vigor and determination deservi better cause, Numbers were hart and carried from field, but none fatally, that we heard of. One fellow fired the six barrels of a revolver at hie opponents, without do- ing any damage. Another party were seen on the roof of the house at the corner of avenue B and Twelfth street, tearing the bricks from the chimnies to throw down on the heads of persons in the street, but ail, by & vigorous movement of a large body of police, were finally diepersed, and the rowdies sought other amusements in other ways. Soon after thie ® party cf several bundred, with a stuffed back on a piat- raded some of the streets in the east end of the , committing all kinds of depredations. They took watches forcibly from two gentlemen in avenue ©, and emashed the window of a confectioner in Eighth street to pieces, helping themselves to the sweet things therein. y « gang was rather too strong in force for the police, and they were permitted to poach and perambulate to their hearts’ content. While the it was going on in the morning an onslaught was made on the dilapidated picket fence which heretofore disgraced Tompkins square, by a gang of men, women and children, aud in less than half ‘an hour there was not a nail, post or picket left to mark the spot where they formerly stood. Even the benches in the equare were carried away, giving the ground @ rather naked appearance. The resident wm the neighbor hood seemed pleased with the change of scene, and anti- cipate a still further improvement by a dantial iron railing eround the aquare, which wiil make the ground an ornament and benefit to the Eleventh ward. FOURTEENTH WARD. ‘The election in this ward yesterday passod off very quietly, There was no rowing, fighting or disturbance of any kind, The polts were so quiet, that a person passing them, not knowing it was election day, would not have noticed anything unusual going oa, SINTERNTH WARD. ‘There were several rows in this ward during the forenoon, dnt with the exception of the upsetting of a few republi. con ballot boxes, and some knock down arguments by way of an accompaniment to the same, everything passed off wlerably well. No arrests were made, SBVENTPENTH WARD. At the polling places in the Seventeenth ward there was no disturbance yeaterday, but the street was the scene of several emall fights. The ward being very large, and the denizens thereof not remarkable for a pacificatory disposi. tion, a strong force of police was detailed for duty. Inad dition to the twenty cight men in the ward, twenty-five wore detailed for special duty, making, in all, fifty three available men, The probability is that had there not been so effective a forse on the spot, there would have been some serious disturbance, as evyeral misehievous fellows PRICE TWO CENTS. seemed disposed to get up fights throughout the day. About one o’clock a crowd, composed almost entirely of boys from twelve to sixteen years of age, improvised @ row onavenue B. For about twenty minutes brickbats flew quite briskly, and several heads were bruised. At the polling place on First avenue, near Twelfth street, there was considerable disturbance in the afternoon, bud it was for the most part confined to boys. A strong de- tachment of police stationed at the polls served to mitigate the evil, or at least to confine the tumult to the street, so that g was not interrupted, nor the ballot boxes molested. Several arrests, however, were made. Just previous to the closing of the polis, an affray which for a time threatened to be serious, occurred on Fast Twelfth street, between avenues A and B. A crowd of boys was gathered on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street, who for nearly an hour kept up a con- stant Gre of brickbats, Their aim was principally direct- ed at the houses and their on the roofs; but soon the passers by in the street became the objects of open parties are known as the “Blues? and the ‘Forty ves’? The belligerent parties tore down portions of the chimneys to supply themselves with ammunition, and the fire was so heavy and continuous that the sidewalks soon presented an appearance as if the debris of sundry fallen chimnies had been laid upon them. Yet we could not learn that any one was seriously injur- ed. In fact, as soon as the fusilade of brickbats became severe, peaceable folks kept clear of the street, and the com! had it all to themselves. But the serious fracture of glass indicated the fury of the combat. About five o'clock a strong force of police advanced down ‘Twelfth street to suppress the fight. Their appearance op avenue A, though it considerably augmented the crowd, ready very large, had the effect of xtop- ping instantaneously the firing, and producing a sudden evanishing of the combatants on the house tops, who disappeared like magic. The police formed a line at each end of the street between the two avenues, thus cutting off all communication, and by gen- tle suasion succeeded in dispersing the crowd toa con- siderable extent. After remaining on the for about half an hour the police withdrew amid shouts and yells. It was amusing to hear the remarks which their presence drew outfrom the crowd. When one of them aeked what was the cause of the row, he was answered— “Sure, it’s only a parce! of boys that wanted to Cage od a chance to earn your eight hundred dollars a year.” When the police put on a bold front and began to clear the street @ man remarked, “Now they’re going to charge.” “Charge !’’ said another, ‘‘yerra, what the d—I could they do here if we liked?’ while another, fully impressed with the idea that a democratic victory’ was to prove sudden demolisher of the Metropolitan Police bill, added, “Let ’em alone, it’s their last day; to-night ends ‘the law,’ and half them will be tut off in the morning.’ On the whole, the turbulent Seventeenth was compara- tively peaceful yesterday. Whatever rioting there was was Confined to boys of immature years. The polling places were free from all obstruction. The vote in all the districts was very small, but of course the ward gave a democratic majority. EIGHTEENTH WARD. The day would have passed off well in this ward had it not been for the presence of some of the notorious Mack- erelville crowd at the polls, who managed to kick up a mus upon every occasion whenever there was the slight- est pretext for so doing. The police made no arrests. TWENTIETH WARD. Rowdyism was rampant in this ward yesterday. There ‘was more or less disturbance at all the polls. Twenty-one persons were arrested by the police during the day and locked up in the station house. There was a serious disturbance about 23; P. M. at the polls on the corner of Ninth avenue and Thirty-firatstroet. Some rowdies were making a noise, when a policeman went up to them to separate them. They used harsh lan. guage to him. He attempted to arrest the ringleader. The crowd determined to prevent this, and attacked the policeman, when quite a fightensued. The policeman fired six shots into the crowd, with little or no effect. His as- sailants then attacked him more fiercely, beat and kicked C vent be cond too sation bows, Sils wounds are ot dangerous. Several of the persons engaged in the row were after- wards arrested by the There was likewise a considerable disturbance at the polls, corner of Seventh avenue and Thirty-first streets. Some rowdies attacked and destroyed the republican box for distributing ballots; the police interfered; for a while blows were freely ex- changed and etones thrown. The police at length quelled the row, and arrested four of the persons engaged in it. AFFAIRS AT THE LOWER POLICE COURT. Flection day brought no increase of business in the Tombs yesterday. Justice Osborne and the clerks, Messrs. Johnston and Skidmore, were busy during the forenoon with the watch returns, but during the afternoon business became so light, and there being no prospect of its increasing any, the magistrate thought proper to ad- journ the court ata much eurlicr hour than usual. Not more dogen arrests wee made in the six lower few illegal voters, it ie were not brought to the Police Conrt. up in the station houses for the day The only case of any interest which came before Justice Osborne, ‘was that of the People vs. Roswell Hovey, wherein the defendant is charged with having forged the endorsement of Mr. J. Grundy to a check drawn by W. W. Gilman for $200. The accused, who is a resident of Brooklyn, was beld for trial, and the papers were sent to the District Attorney's office for the action of the Grand Jury. There is also another charge of forgery preferred against Hovey. JEFFERSON MARKET. There was not « single case of importance or interest at this Police Court yesterday. In vain the magistrate (Jus tice Davison) and the clerks waited for the arrival of ille- gal voters, thieves and disorderly persons, with which the court room is usually filled on election days. Fither the police were very inefficient or the district was unusually quiet, for, to say the least, the court was really stagnant for want of excitement. A few petit larceny aud assault and battery cases comprised the total business of tho day. BSSEX MARKET, Business was very dull here yosterday; in fact, it was the subject of general remark, There were butseven cases before the court, and the majority of those were arrests made the night previously. Justice Brennan pre- sided during the day. Jas. McCullough was charged with pieking the pockets of Jutius Colpaut and stealing $28 therefrom. Committed for examination. William Henry was arrested by officer Murphy, of the Tenth ward police, charged with stealing @ horse und wagon belonging toa Mr. Coggewel!. The prisoner had a confederate, who managed to escape. Committed for ex- amination The above cases, together with a few of assault and Dattery and intoxication, constitated the business at the Fssex Market Police Court yesterday. RECEPTION OF THE RETURNS AT TAMMANY HALL. SCENES AT THE DEMOCRATIC HEAD QUARTERS—riHK UNTERRIFIED JURILANT—SPRECHES OF JOHN COCH- RANE, CAPTAIN RYNDERS AND OTHERS. Tammany Hall was, as sual on election night, in a blaze. The unterrifled mustered in great numbers, and seemed in excellent spirits. Ata few minutes after seven o'clock an organization was effected, and Mr. John Coch. rane, M. ©. elect, was called to preside, Mr. Cochrane was received with the usual enthusiastic demonstrations, and proceeded to say that reports (rom the different wards would be read as soon as received, and that in the inter- vals gentiomen would address the meeting. Mr. Cochrane congratulated the democracy on the brilliant prospects before them, and read a few returns from the city. Mr. Kxwueay, #) ‘Oubadour of the old wigwam, then sang a ditty anent ‘The Liberty Tree.”” Mr. Cocunas® again addressed the meeting, explaining that though the vote was light, the falling off was chiefly on the side of the opposition. If the cratic vote was not «0 strong as last year it wae because the rank and file anticipated that the victory was sure. Mr. Feewo was next introduced. He made a lengthy speech, congratulating the democracy on the success of their Judicial ticket, and animadverting severely upon Mr. Justice Peabody for his alleged partiean action in the mat- ter of the Street Commissioner's office. Mr. Kernicay again exerted his musical powers; after which Mr. A. J. Puen went throngh the ticket, complimenting each candidate, the names being received with cheers. AMderman CLaxcy announ that the Sixth ward had given 2,084 majority for the democratic State ticket (Three cheers for the old Sixth.) And, hi parked T can safely promise you that we shall do something still better for the county ticket, (aud cheers.) Mr. Prem, after complimenting Mr. Clancy and getting himself out of breath, eat down. Mr. CocnRAN® announced that the Seventh ward had given M49 majority over all for the democratic ticket int the Thirteenth had gone in the same way. (Renewed cheering.) Mr. Ryspens bere Appeared in the hall, and the call for him was sufficiently stentorian to extinguish the Tr lour who was about to voenlise. = Mr ders ‘atulated his fellow democrats upon what they had ‘tas, but said they might have done much better if they lad tried. They bad carried the cit 5.000 or 20,000 magority, and be had hoped that the victory would be theirs in the State, They the oppeeition) had sbut up the liquor . but the jemocracy had beaten them without grog. If they eut off ston the democrats would get all the votes. ‘The Marchal continued in the same yein, and put the meeting in the best of humor. Mr. Cocuran® announced that the Twelfth ward had given the democratic ticket 600 majority over all (Cheers for the Twelfth.) Judge Morrow enid that the democratic majority in the city was not lese than 20,000. The lightness of the vote told heavily upon the opposition, but was of no great con Bequence to the democraty. The Judge etigmasized the opposition with cheating th the tickets, and paid a compli ment to Mr, Miner, the candidate for Register, who had suffered in this way. (Three cheers for the bold Mi ner.) But all their trieks, be said in continuation, are of nO use—the’ J i He and fettlemen on the teket in detail. democracy would have a majority in the Legislature, and would thereby be able to adopt some reforma: financial measures, by which the working man would be paid his wages in sound gold and silver, in- wo believed that stead of paper rags. and cries of “Bully for you.”’) In conclusion he paid a compliment to the Mayor of the city, and trusted that they would all work as well for bim in ber as in former times. (Three tremendous cheers for Fernande Wood.) Mr. pr fo give the results of @ summary of the votes in fourteen wards, by which it appeared that the democrats had 11,000 majority over all. (Cheors.) Mr. Cochrane then re- viewed the proceedings of the evening, alluded to the work done, and said that tho labor of reform had only commenced. He believed that during the comi - sion of the Logiaiatare the democracy would be able to give a death blow to the infamous acts of last year, and ppsticolarly to overthrow the odious Police bill. He urged democracy to put forth their best offorts for Fernando Wood, whose name wag received with renewed cheering. Mr. then announced that he had just received from the Eighteenth ward, giving Richard Schell 950 majority. (Cheers.) . Rynpexs, from the floor, announced that in one district of the Sixth ward the black republicans received two votes, (Loud cheers.) Judge Moore, of Brooklyn, here took the stand, and said that Kings county had given a splendid victory for the democracy. She had elected her two State’ Senators, Francis Spinola and Samuel Sloan: six out of neven of her legislators, and the whole State ticket by nearly seven thousand majority over the next ticket; and he thought that old Kings was doserving of three hearty cheers. (loud and continued applause.) Mr. Cocuxank then said that they had heard all tho speeches and reports, and that if they remained there till midnight, they would have nothing to do but cheer for the victory of the democratic party from Montauk to Erie, fo that they had better cheer all at once and adjourn to the Hex office to get the reports from the country. The meeting then ved in high spirits. THE REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS. Stuyvesant Institute, the headquarters of the black re- publican party in this city, was dark, gloomy and desert- ed last evening. There dropped in a few individuals be- tween 6 and 9 o'clock, who dropped out agatn just as quietly when they saw that there wore no indications of a demonstration. Everything looked as lifeloss as Dr. Ab- bott’s collection of mummies in the same building. There is a little room on the second floor, with a label outside indicating that the Young Men’s Republican Club meet within. The door was open, and some four or tive down- cast looking individuals were seated on the table or lolling onthe forms. These were exchanging doleful remarks about the election and attributing the defeat of their ticket totheir unfortunate union with the American party. Every one that looked in from time to time had the co coy poe ferry meee: ae al- together the appearance ings at the Stuyvesant was enough to impress one with the belief that the black re- pubhcan 'y in this city was following the Know No- thing to that bourne whence parties or other travellers never return. THE AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS. One of the reporters of the HenaLp was designated to watch proceedings at the American headquarters. He started on his tour with @ light heart and a profound patri- otic appreciation of the high character of his mission, fully impressed with the belicf that he was to be gratified by a visual observation of some of the ‘‘ Americans” who are «to rule America,” and perhaps some of the descendants of the men who, on a certain night, alone were placed on guard by the Father of his Country. Up and down Broad- way he perambulated, in hopes to find the “ Headquar- ters.” No flaunting flag bearing the stars and stripes met his gaze, to indicate where the ‘Americans stood guard. He did see divers gay samples 6f dry goods suspended bere and there, which at a distance inspired him with a hope that what he sought was near; and when he saw large placards pin- ned there, and bearing the portentious announcement— “Selling off below cost,’’ he would have been convinced he was right in his hopes, had not the presence of ladies, who never “‘stand guard” in politics, proved his mistake Americans gay, Americans grave, Americans fat, Ameri- cans lean, be to learn where their juarters: were, and without success, until a youthful American with adolescent moustache told him that the headquarters: of the American Central Committee was im the upper floor of the building corner of Broadway and Lispenard atroet. With joyous heart the r turned his steps thither. ‘The hall way was clear, rribly solemn was the silence that reigned therein. Fearfully appalling were the echoes of his own footsteps as he those massive marb— (beg pardon)—those dirty wooden steps. Nota rag a rep for of the Revolution; and the dark lantern wh: 7 ted to see, had not within it light enough to discover hereabouts. He pondered over the ecene, wlickh wae vanquet hall deserted, reflecting upon the mutebility of human affairs and the in gratitude of republics, when a patriarchal beard with a man behind it emerged from a door which was cautiously opened. Here, thonght the reporter, is the well informed creature who is to illumipe these dismal premises with a flood of intelligent sunlight.
