FALLING OFF IN THE OPPOSITION MAJORITY QUIETNESS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. Scenes at Tammany Hall and the Tiemann Headquarters. DEMOCRATIC COMMON COUNCIL. Names of Aldermen and Councilmen Probably Elected. THE NEW CITY GOVERNMENT, &e., &e., &. SCENES AT THE POLLS. FIRST WARD. All was quietness in the belligerent First ward yester- day. Jn the early part of the day the votes were poured im rapidly inall the districts. On the whole the vote polled ‘was large, but there was very little disposition to crowd round the polling places. Indeed, with the exception of the polling place in Broad street, there was no crowd at all; the voters, the canvassers and the men delivering the tickets being the only parties participating in the scene, As a general thing the drinking houses were open, and in the afternoon several drunken men appeared in the vi- einity of the polls, but they did not succeed in creating any disturbance. Not a single arrest was made up to the closing of the polls, At the Broad Street House—the poll- ‘ing place of the Fifth district—there was an incipient row about noon, but the interference of the police, who were there in etrength, instantly suppresed it. Contrary to all expectation no fight occurred wi the First ward, much to ‘the disgust of several of the fightiig men in that locali SECOND WARD. Everything passed off quietly in this ward. There were nO rows, nO arrests, and very little enthusiasm. The Votes were deposited without obstructign throughout the day. THIRD WARD. The day passed in this ward without any disturbance worth mentioning. A heavy vote was polled, and much feeling was manifested on the Mayoralty question, but the Aldermanic candidates excited the most interest. The Third ward is a part of the First Aldermanic district, and its voters bad to choose between four candidates, all of ‘whom hailed from the First ward. The principal contest was between the friends of * Billy’ Wilson and ‘Mike’? Murray, and if their adherents are to be believed, both of these eminent gentlemen are elected, and will adorn the eity councils during the coming year. The Third ward was formerly a whig stronghold, but of late years it bas been becoming more demo- cratic, owing to the removals of the wealthier zene uptown. The Washington market dealers exer- cise & considerable influence in this ward, and for some reason or other they cast their votes yesterday for Tie- mann. There was heavy betting as to the result of the election, and much money must have changed hands, Two rabid partisans became so excited that one offered to saw @ load of wood in front of the Gerard House, at the corner of Chambers street and West Broadway, on Thursday after. noon, between the hours of one and three o'clock, pro- vided his candidate was elected, if the other party would do the same thing. The wager was instantly accepted, and next Thursday this absurd wager will be complied with. There was no rioting and no arrests for illegal ‘voting in this ward. FOURTH WARD. The exhibitions of a belligerent character were not so ‘hamerous in this ward as at previous elections. An attack was made on ono of the Clancy ticket boxes, which was under the charge of a man named Macarthy , who defended it with a pistol. The assailing party, named James White, ‘was also armed with a pistol, and, for a time, the difficulty ‘assumed a rather serious aspect. Officer Henry 8. Phillips, however, bappened to be at hand, and by getting between The combatants, succooded in put an end to the diffi. culty, Dut not before Macarthy bad fired two shots at his assailant, Neither of the belligerents, it appears, was arrested. Tho ward received a visitation pimp Md ga J of fifty sul to be a detachment from the D Rabbit Club, who had a few skirmishes with the friends of Crowe, the Dead Rabbits being in favor of Clancy. Beyond a few Dicody noses and black. eyes, no damage of a serious character was done. The following persons wero arrested for egal voting:—John Carson, Cornelius Engright, Mi chael Connery and Henry Crawley. The posters of the ‘opposing candidates for Aldermen were torn into shreds, while those of Tiemann seemed to have entirely disap- peared. Compared with former elections, as we have aid, this one passed off peaceal FIFTH WARD. ‘There was an unusually heavy vote polled in thie ward, ‘and the Inspectors had a busy time all day long. Tho Jaw, as regards liquor selling, was observed by all the re- ppectable estadlishments in the ward, and the effect was ween in the few dranken and disorderly persons at the polling places, This ward at one time used to roll up heavy whig majorities, but of late years the democrats have had everything their own way. It was remarked that many old whigs, who will not affiliate with any of the new parties, voted yesterday and against the democratic ticket. It was remarked also yesterday that all the “‘roughs,”’ who usually support the democratic candi- dates, were yesterday on the other side of the question. here must have been immense cums of money spent by the Temann party to secure this kind of belp. " There was io fighting at the polls, and only one person was arrested for i voting. He gave his name as William Robinson ‘and said he was by trade a tanner. He was taken to the Tombs. SIXTH WARD. ‘There were comparatively few fights in the Sixth ward yesterday, and with one exception the personal damage inflicted was trifling. Mr. Haggerty, one of the candidates for Councilman, wae violently assaulted, and received a wevere cut on the head from a stone thrown at him by one ‘of his political opponents.

In the language of one of the policemen, “they went through the ward like a whirl wind,” and perhaps to this circumstance is owing the fact qhat none of them were arrested. Whirlwinds are rather rous affairs, and the of. feers = holding personal aafet) abo every other consideration did not interfere with this . ‘The skirmishers who operated in smaller parties did not escape { however, there was nothing of the whirlwind character about them, and so they were taken into cus toly and placed in durance vil They were Patrick Lally, James Murray, James Brown and C. Truman. The lat named insisted on depositing bis ballot, although it twas a agg Bey that he was not entitled to 8 vote in the ward. ides the descent made upon the ticket boxes, the bullies amused themselves in tearing down the Tiemann posters from the walle. SRVENTH WARD, Since the first form of municipal government was grant. @1 to this city—now over two bundred years ago—thero never was, perhaps, such extraordinary excitement and anxiety as for the result of the elections throughout the city, yet never was there more peaceable and orderly de- ‘meanor among the people of this ward. All was quiet. ‘There was a pardonable manifestation of feeling for th Tespective candidates, and more voters came forth to record their franchises than on any former occasion 0 late years. The Inspectors at every poll in this ward in- formed our reporter that there were more votes deposited ‘up to baif-past 12 o'clock than there were at the last elee tion at the close of the poll. Old gentlemen who for many years past would not undergo the inconvenience and trouble of standing on the sidewalk and being subjected to all the annoyances of attending at the polls, came forth yesterday and deposited their hal tom. Our reporter found Captain Rynders in this ward, busy. He wae at the polls, protecting the democratic voters, and aiding them in their challenges Pie said in two or three instances that they were entitied vote and that they should vote. He told them that ‘hough he had been charged by interested parties that he ‘Was opposed to Mayor Wood, it wat false; he never yet swent against the regular democratic ticket, and he would FHPMOTE it How from Wood down. The Captain was cheered Instly whenever he went, and to his anxious inquiries all ound he learned that Wood was ahead of Tiemann; and that &Jams, for Alderman, on the same regular nomina tion tiaket, was leaving McConnell in the back ground On arris ing at the corner of Jackson street, Capt.

In tiris ward a man named Davis was arrested and com- mitted for having recorded an il vote, and four others for reer Soe il lly. was no rioting in this ward, Up to the of the polls all was quiet. HIGHTH WARD, This is usually a turbulent ward, but yesterday the election passed off without even a friendly knock down; in fact it was stupidly quiet, and the “boys” all declared they’d “‘spile”’ if elections are to be conducted in this way in future, There was little drunkenness, and the polico arrangements under the care of Captain Turabull were excellent. There was much confusion in the minds of the voters growing out of the new Aldermanic districts, which puzzled every one. It was impossible to make the old voters understand that the Reh ee did not have an Alderman of its own to choose, ‘was much dissatisfaction at the new ‘Mueoh of the in- terest in this election grew out of the candidates for Police and Civil Justices. All the had candidates in the field, and the democracy had two sets of aspirant magisterial honors. There was much feeling on the sub- ject, The friends of the Civil Justices were anything but civil, and one or two persons who befriended the Police ——— ought to have been committed. However, the difficulties did not result in blows. Two persons were ar- vested for illegal voting. One gave his name as John O'Donnell, and said he was a mason by trade. The other gave his name as R. Mills, and alleged he was a black- smith by trade, They were both sent to the Tombs. NINTH WARD. At an early hour in the morning the doorways leading to the different polling places in this ward were literally choked up with persons rushing to deposit their votes. There was very little disturbance during any part of the day, as every one walked away almost immediately after discharging the business which brought them to the polls. About three o'clock, however, some boys began to visit the different polling places, but found it impossible to inconvenience the voters in the slightest degree; and an attempt on their part to get Ye in the Sixth district, at the corner of Hammond and Fourth streets, resulting only in the capture of one of their num- ber by the police, they soon after dcnerted thé ward alto: er, prudently judzing that they might turn their efforts, tf not to better at least to more important account: elsewhere. Almost all the votes in this ward were depo- sited before twelve o'clock, after which hour few, except the police, could be seen standing near the polls. The number of bystanders did not increase until about five o'clock P. M., when there was a rush to the polls by a large number of persons who were anxious to learn the result of the ballot; but there was such a disposition to quietness and order evinced throughout the entire of the day ag is rarely witnessed on any similar occasion. TENTH WARD, There were six districts in this ward, and although the polls were the scene of considerable excitement, especial- ly during the earlier part of the day, everything passed off quietly, and go far as could be ascertained no arrests were made, The ‘Wood’? vote in this ward is unquestionably very large, for, during our reporters’ stay at the polling places, the citizens were going the lar democratic Ucket. Quite a rich harvest was reaped by a lot of young- sters who vended poetic effusions on the acteristics of the rival candidates for Mayor. One ed urchin ac: costed a citizen with the freedom of one who felt he kuew how to drive a trade with “Here is Fernando Wood, only ‘one cent.’ et off with you, you little brat,’ was the unceremonious reply of the person addressed, with an air of offended dignity; “I don't want any of your Wood bi lads’? (ballots). “Bab. its because you are a Know Noth- ing,’ rejoined the indefatigable vender of poetic literature, aud hastened away. Going on a few steps further our re- porter heard an enthusiastic admirer of Mr. Wood observe that he “would bet a $100 that Fernando Wood is Mayor of New York now.” The advocate of Tiemann responded by saying “I don’t differ from you on that point, but J will bet you that be will not be Mayor next January,’” ELEVENTH WARD. ‘The Eleventh ward was quiet yesterday for a wonder, and the police had nothing to do, This was an unlooked for occurrence, considering the rowdy materiel in the upper sections known as “Mackerelville,”’ “Battle Row,” “Four Gun Battery,’’ &c., &c. The only excitement ap- red among the friends of the opposition candidates for IMiermen—Jehn Anderson and Frank Boole—and the fa- vorites of each were at times uproarious and pugnacious, yet there was little blood spilt, and the Wood men went strong in favor of Wood. TWELFTH WARD. Mr. Tiemann lives in thia ward, which includes Harlem, Manhattanville, Carmanville and Bloomingdale, ranging from Ninety-second street to 168th street. The Tiemann banners were much more numerous than the others, At the First district poll there was no | obstruction, and no disturbance of moment. A 'y of the “Black Jokea’’ came up, but did not make any serious demon- stration. In the Fourth district, where Mr. Tiemann lives, everything! wae quiet, as also in the Third and Fifth. In the Second district the boys complained that they bad pot seen a “cop” of the Tiemann money, and they knew there was plenty of itabout. They thought it was too bad to be so slighted after working hard all day. The police were patrolling the ward, and stationed a large force at the polls, Up to sundown they bad but two prsoners—one named James Madden, for attempting to Vote illegally, and one for disorderly conduct, THIRTRENTH WARD, ‘This ward was quiet. There seemed to be more anxiety and demonstration for the Aldermanic ticket than for that of Mayor. There was a noisy sot of boys at No. 22 Sherif street, but their anxiety was all as to whether McConnell or Adams should be successful as Alderman. Beyond this and a few patriotic ebullitions there was no disturbance. A few fellows were taken up for drunkenness and fighting. FOURTEENTH WARD. Hundreds of the b’hoys congregated around the polling places as soon as they were opened, and the crowd grada- ally increased till noon, among whom were some exceed- ingly rough characters, who, if they indulged in a few glasses of bad ram, would have been very hard to manage, but the police were so perfect that the least attempt at up a disturbance would have been nipped in the bad. Although the of the drinking saloons professed to have cl their doors, many of the patriotic citizens imbibed freely, and that, too, in sight of a of officers, who did not interfere. It was said that Tiemann had a iy in one or two of the districts; but Mr. most of the districts made for ‘oting in this ward, and not the slightest symptom of a disposition to develope the combative instincts in an illegitimate manner. A man who presented himself at the Sixth district. when informed that he was incompetent to ‘vote for some cause of other, expressed himself in very strong adjectives, which it needless to 5 bat the officers speedily removed him. A juvenile of about eight summers created considerable merriment for the bystand. ‘ors, by yoolferating at the top of his voice, at short inter vale, “Here you are, reglar dimecratic ticket, Fornandy ‘Wood for Mayor FIFTEENTH WARD. Trusual quietness prevailed at the polls in thie ward. In the morning the voters came in great force to deposit their votes, #0 that a considerable number of persons en- circled the doors and paseages leading to the ballot boxes. Towards noon, however, it was easy to effect a passage to or from the boxes, and in the afternoon only an occa- sional voter could be seen dropping in to exercise the right of franchise, There was no disturbance of any kind at any of the polls in this ward, but a drunken fellow, who sermed disposed to get up a muss, was promptly arrested at one of the polls, and forthwith conveyed in a most un- ceremonious manner to the station house. Towards the close of the voting there was a rush to ascertain the result ‘of the balloting to all the potls in the district, but amid all the Thess manifested to obtain information, the mort creditible tranquillity prevailed. SIXTEENTH WARD. ‘The voting in this ward was conducted with mach spirit ‘fand general good feeling among the opposing factions. It ‘was very generally conceded to be the most quietly con. ducted election, considering the amount of party feeling and importance of the canvass, which has taken place in that ward for several years—probably owing to the fact that those who felt disposed to commit breaches of the pence were deterred from it in consequence of the large posse of police and specials distributed at each of the polling pisces. ‘At the Ninth district one man, named ‘Robert iidey, was arrested, charged with having assaulted John C. Blanvelt at the polls. He was locked up in the Sixteenth ‘ward station house. Another man, named Thomas Liddie, wae also taken in charge by the police at this district, for committing an unprovoked assault on Andrew Malone With these exceptions everything passed off opartectiy quiet in the ward. One man came to the potie of this dis- trict abont two o'clock and deposited a full vote, saying that aNhough ke had lived in district for many years, that was the first batlot he had deposited in ten years. SEVRXTRENTH WARD. During the morning thers was no excitement whatever in this ward, prior to 1 o'clock, except that one of the boxes for the distribution of tickets was torn down and broken np in the Ninth district, the polls of which were held at No, 208 First avenue. The difficulty arase be. tween two opposing factions, the heads of which wore agpirante for Aldermanic honors: and a similar occurrence sook place about 9 o'clock at the polis in Thirtecoth . The half an hour or more, during which time a iT of brickbats was thrown indiscriminately the crowd, and ten or twelve pisto) shots and one musket shot were fired. The musket shot was fired from the top of a house on one side of the avenue and hit the wall of @ house on the : ride. wounded by the brick bats, and it was rumored that ono pistol shot; but the particulars |. Word was sent immediately to the Police station houses of*the Seventeenth and uh : d twenty-five men, under Sergeant be coh w the scene of the disorder; but before they arrived the disturbance was ended and the crowd disporsed. EIGHTEENTH WARD. At the poll, No. 22 East Twenty-first street, one of the ticket boxes was thrown over, but was immediately right- ed, and the party offending arrested. Aside from this the ‘ward was quiet. NINETERTTH WARD. This ward has usually been rather disorderderly on election days, but yesterday tt was comparatively quiet. ‘There was no fighting or rioting, but some little halloing, pushing, shoving, and the like, around some of the polls, me of our foreign citizens indulged in a little merry-mak- ing. in their own way and among themselves around the pollsin Forty-seventh street, between Second and Third avenues, An attempt was made to get up some little ex- citement at the polis corner of Sixty-firststreet and Second avenue, but there was no serious fighting. The republican ticket box was capsized and the crowd enjoyed themseives to their full in shoving, pushing, laughing, yeMing and hurraing. At one time they made ‘a ri polis, as was thought to break the ballot boxes, but meeting ‘the uplifted clubs of a considerable force of police, they thought it better to retreat with bravado than with loss and wounds, One of the crowd judiciously remarked, “Tam not going to get my head cut open for the election of anybody.” No arrests were made during the day. The voting was nearly all done in the early part of the day; the polls were crowded when first opened, while hardly any votos were cast during the last two hours that the polls were open, TWENTIETH WARD. ‘The forces of all parties in this ward were pretty fairly represented. In many of the districts more votes had been polled by ten o'clock in the morning than were poll- ed at the same places during the entire day of the late State election, and during the day the number of yotes cast far excecded those of any previous election for years. Up to about three o'clock everything passed off perfectly quict at all of the polls of the ward, although each party were not at all remiss in forwarding the claims of their respective candidates; yet with the large body of police im the ward and at the polls (over 120 all told, includin specials and 28 from Brooklyn, E. D., under charge Sergeant Bennett), no serious outbreak took place. About four o'clock a party of young men, who had commenced patrolling the ward and visiting the various districts for the purpose of “regulating” affairs, came to the corner of Ninth avenue and Thirty sixth street, where the boxes of the respective ies and candidates were located for the purpose of distributing tickets. Here they halted, and after proposing three cheers for Mayor Wood and three groans for Tiemann, proceeded in the most approved style to upset the Tiemann box. This, however, proved not to be sO easy a task, fora party of some twenty or more young men, friends of Tiemann, had ~ opportunely” arrived 'on the ground a few minutes before the others, each armed with a club and calling themselves “Club Boys,” who gave the would be rowdies a very warm and unlooked for club reception, thereby preventing them from carrying their ree ine execution and easily keeping them at bay, although they fought desperately until the arrival of Sergeant neti, with a posse of police, who succeeded in arresting the fol” lowing named persons, who were taken to the station house and locked up, after a desperate attempt at rescue ‘on the part of their ftiends:—John Corrigan, Jobn Delaney Hugh Nolan and Terrance Kelley. arrest of these parties immediately put a stop to the difficulty. In addi- Lion to the above, the police arrested John F nga for disorderly conduct at the Seventh district poll. He was locked up. With the above exceptions everything passed off quietly in this ward. TWENTY-FIRST WARD. The election in this ward yesterday passed off with per- fect order, regularity and quietude. There was not the least disturbance or confusion. Not a single arrest was made in the whole ward during the day, The citizens went to the polls at an early hour, voted, and quietly re- turned — — It oe many one Lm oop | municipal election has passed off 80 ly. Nearly all business was — during the Ty, socmed more like the Sabbath or a holiday, than the day of an exciting election. TWENTY-SECOND WARD. There were eight polling places in this district, ranging from Forty-second street and Tenth avenue to Righty- fourth street and Broadway. The regulations with respect tw keeping the ticcet booths at @ distance from the polla was rigidly enforced, though the number of exceedingly happy sovereigns denoted the liquor law was not so successful in its operation. There were large crowds of men and boys at all the polls dui pnyote A and the ery large gang of ively individuals. patrolied the ward very large gang of livel vi all ‘deg visiting the polls in detail. Suseuny ‘an en. thusiastic Tiemann man, or an offensive Tiemann ticket box was overset, but up to the time of closing the polls, no demonstrations were made on the ballot boxes. In the First district the crowd seemed greatest, and the Nemann boxes were not very stationary. Inthe Second district there was at one time a gang of four hundred men, who came marching up to the polls, but they’ contented themselves with cheering. In the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth aud Seventh districts the vote polled was very heavy, and the travelling caravan of the demo- cracy was present at intervals, but though there were a few friendly set to's and an inconsiderable number of black eyes. The would-be Alderman Seagrist and the regular Alderman Drake were to be seen riding abont in carriages, aa good humored aa if they were not interested, ‘and each was equally Popular with the boys when the other was out of sight. Justice Connolly was omnipresent, ‘and was always “struck” by the boys for fifty cents or @ dollar to supply the needful stimulants. In the Eighth dis. trict, where Mayor Wood resides, the enthusiasm for him was ‘The cry on nearing the polle, was “here's for Mayor Wood, this way—no monopoly and no moustachi ots." It was said, however, that even in this district Tie- marm was running very well. The police were patrolling the ward in squads ail day, The specials were mostly sta- tioned at the polls, and the = either kept in reserve at the station house or patrolling the wards. Consic there are a great many of our Celtic fellow-citizens in this ward, who always have an enjoyable time on election day, the election yesterday may be said to have passed off with unusual quiet. There were up to the closing of the polls but eight arrests, and these were for di tly conduct ‘and drunkenness. The police and the citizens are desery- ing of much commendation for this excellent order. ARRESTS FOR ILLEGAL VOTING. Quite a number of arrests for fllegal voting were made by the police yesterday. The prisoners, in most cases, were non-residents of the districts wherein they attempted to exercise the privilege of voting. Some of them even came from Westehester and Kings counties, with a view of exercising their right to vote upon a matter which was entirely foreign to their interests at home, while in other cases not a few of the accused seemed to think that lived in and that in which they did buai- ness was all right and according to Hoyle, “From the returns furnished us by our reporters we have made up the following summary of arrests for illegal voting yester- day — Soin Carron was taken intocustody by the Fourth ward police, on charge of having attempted to vote illegally at ‘one of the polling places in Cherry street. Cornelius Enright, Wm. Connery and Henry Crawley were also arrested by the Fourth ward police for attempt. ing to vous, Bot having the logal right so to do.

THE TIEMANN HEADQUARTERS. ‘The ‘Tiemann Headquarters,”’ on Broadway, last night was crowded to suffocation—a matter yot to be wondered at, when we consider that the room was not more than thirty feet by twelve. There being no chairman, secre. tary, nor any other official present, the whole proceedings of the evening were entirely impromptu. During the evening reports arrived from the varioas wards showing an immense majority for Mr. Tiemann. These announce- ments were received with loud applause. Bulletins on brown paper were étuck up on the wall announcing a majority for Tiemann of 5,418, the appearance of which was the signal for vociferous applause, and cries of “Three groans for the Hamar,” and “ Where is the reporter of the Henan?’ Ovn Rerorren—He ie heve, what —- want of him? A Vorce—To bt with bim and the Herat. Loud groans and cheers intermixed followed this effu- sion. Onr reporter, however, did not lose hie self. possession, as no hostile demonstration followed. ie retained his seat at the table next to the recording clerk, who continued to pile up the majorities for Tiemann as each voice from the miacellaneous crowd called them out. As the night pro- greased, however, the vote for Temann began to diminish ‘and at nine o'clock the majority of 5.418 for Tiemann, ported on the wall, was replaced by a bulletin, showing only 1,800 majority, an several wards to be heard from. This decreased the enthusiasm considerably, and the meeting began to disperse, evidently with a view Acquire more accurate information elsewhere. Sev cheers were given for Daniel F. Nemano, and as many froane for Mayor Wood; after which, the crowd gradual- y dispersed. The barroom of the St. Nicholas, adjoining the head- quarters, then became the theatre of political disquisition ; alternate cheers for Tiemann and groans for Wood indicat ing that the frequenters of that lecality, on this occason at Jeast, were worshippers of she rising sun ‘The headquarters of Mr. Nemann presented the appear ance of a disorganized camp. No order whatever was preserved there, and though the reports of Mr. Tietnann’s majorities poured in from an early hour of the evening, there seemed to exist considerable doubt of his success ‘up to the last moment. THE SCENE AT TAMMANY HALL, SPRRCHES OF SBVBRAL SMALLER LIGHTS—INQUIRIRS FOR THE UNITED STATES OFFICIALS—NONE OF THEM ON THE STAND—CAPT. RYNDERS MAKES HIS APPEARANCE AND A SHORT SPERCH, AND G¥rs INTO AN ALTERCATION WITH ON® OF THE SPRAKERS— CAPTAIN IS APPLAUDRD AND AIS ADVERSARY EXPELLED—SPEBCH OF HON. JOHN COCHRANE, ETC. Tammany Hall, last evening, was a moral thermometer of unusual sensitiveness. The sbightest variations of the temperature of the political atmosphere were imlicated with admirable precision. If a chilling rumor were watt ed within its walls of Tiemann majorities, the democratic spirit within the tube sank to the freesing point, whilst « simoon of @ democratic success, caused it to rise to boiling heat, with eminent danger of its bursting the tube, The thermometer was at times not PRICE TWO CENTS. exactly multiform, but double-barrelled form, in its struc- ture, one tube resting upon the floor of the barroom and the other in the hail above; and while in the barroom tho democratic spirits would sink to zero, in the ball proper it would be at fever heat, At six o’clock the dgmocracy, harmonious in &@ common hope and common fear, began to asasemble, The barroom was filled, as was also the rear room, where comitters are wont to meet. Some of the old familiar faces were present. Otbers wero unaccounbly absent, Tom Dunlap, for host of the Pewter Mug, where. the ‘gnsiaas Ge democracy has Veen cared for under his auspices, was Pn pd with Daniel E. Delevan, the Grand Sachem of the minaby Society, who ou this occasion was character- ized by a bilious grandeur. But most of the loaders were nom est. Captain Rynders, whowe chaste: rhetoric and enchanting oratory have often mar- shalled the hosts into one harmonious body, was not there, having gone over to the enemy. A inelancholy man, whose attention was called to tha fact, said that ‘there was batone Rynders, and federal pap was his profit.” The Sage of Blow: jalo was absont— he being engaged in looking after the aldermanic re- turns, for which position he ix au aspirant, The retarns from the Second and Third wards, with small majorities for Tiemann, was et blanket. The annouscement that the Fifth had given 500 for Ticmann increased tho chill; ‘but the Sixth, with 2,000 for Wood, revived , and nu- merous draughts were made upon the sym lager. The hall was opened atten minutes to seven o'clock, and there was rush of the unterrified up stairs, leaving A misanthropic individual in the rear room counting over his figures with an evident diarelish. But apirite revived under the inspiration of the orators and frequent majorities from the democratic wards.

Hope, however, continued active in the Hall until it became known that defeat was inevitable, though fear prepon- derated in the barroom below. At7o’clock Datei E. DkLevAN appeared on the ros- rum and called the meeting to order. He aaid:— Brother Democrats— (Thi for Dan Delevan, and acry of “What is your nam You ask me my name?

We hav: this evening, according to our time-honored usages, to hear the reports of the election from the different wards You are all aware, my fellow democrats, that we have had a strong contest, We have had all the isms of the day against us, but we believe that our standard bearer of the democracy is elected, (Loud cheers.)

All the isms have been combined, and we have had men in our own ranks, who, when they found that they could not defeat us, they have combined with the black republicanism, Know Nothingism, and every other ism--Wall streetisms and all. (Loud cheers and laughter, and three groans for the traitors.) We do pot think for a moment that our standard bearer ig defeated, brother democrats. All we have to dois to wait patiently and see the returns, and I think that before we leave your hearts will be gladdened by hearing that democratic ripciples are stillin the ascendant in the city of New ‘ork. (Three cheers for Fernando Wood, and groans for Tiemann.) Ishall propose as your chairman on his oc- easion, a young, active and efficient democrat, Mr. Genet, who bas heen on the game ticket with Fernando Wood, and is elected, as we have every reason w hope that Fernando Wood is. (Laud cheers.) Mr. Genet took the stand amid the applause of the aseembled democracy. He said:— Brother Democrats—We meet here to-night, as has been stated by Mr. Delevan, for the purpose of receiving the returns of the different wards in reference to the election which has taken place to-day, and which we and be- lieve has resulted in the success of our standard bearer— Fernando Wood. (Three cheers tor Wood.)

They were received wih loud cheers meeting was for & moment at a loss for an orator; but Coroner Connery being discovered on the floor near the #peaker’s stand, loud calls for “Connery” mere wale. The Coroner, responding to the call, took his jon on the rostrum. He removed his gloves with a re tic grace and elevated his front bair until it assumed its normal position.
