The reason ascribed for this lack of spirit, nerve and muscle was the fact that the funds ThuteP tad hting men have been held by the determined action of the moneyed men of the Fifth Avenue Hotel democracy, who have resolved to pay no more tribute to Tammany Hall and its cohorts. Tne ‘weather was pleasant, with a clear sun and a mild atmosphere—just the thing desired by the republicans to whip their opponents. How farthey have succeeded will perhaps be better understood when the figures from all parts of the State are added up. Never within the history of Tammany Hall was there such a manifestation of a lack of confidence in our city candidates; and respectable men, rather than be guilty ef voting for inferior men, quietly submitted to let the election pass without depo- siting @ vote, The republican candidates for Senators were severely criticised by their own party. Some of them do not hesitate to charge the whole selegation with being committed, body and principle, to Thurlow Weed and his stock company in his gridiron plan for city rail- road schemes and other fat joba, to be manceuvred through the State Legislature, The candidates for Assembly, of all political complexions, were principally from the lower strata of society, and their only object in seeking clec- tion was to enable them to get both hands into the public treasury, Such an utter indifference in au election as that of yesterday by honest men of both partics was never known since New York became a city. The stayers at home might be counted by thousands. Considering this fact, nopne need be astounded to hear of a very light yote polled in this city. Gen. Sandford, in compliance with the request of the Police Commissioners, ordered several regiments to be in readiness to obey their calls. The following order was promulgated by the Colonel of the Fifth regiment:— SPECIAL "ORDER NO. 35. ‘Heanquarrens Fret Recncent, Jurrerson GuarD, New York, Nov. 7, 1859.

Marnor, Adjutant. ‘We subjoin the following detailed reports of thomanner in which the election was conducted in the various wards, as gathered by our reporte:s:— FIRST AND SECOND WARDS. ‘Though yesterday was election day, it was totally de. void of the more stirring election scenes in the First and Second wards. Thero was no fighting, and very little ox- citement of any kind. In the First ward some complaints ‘were made against the working of the new Registry law, that it was “a humbug,” “gave trouble for nothing,” “caused useless delay,” &c. In the Seoond ward, how- ever, where the total number of votes polled did not ox- ceed 600 in the two districts, no complaints against tho operation of the Registry law were made to our inqui- ding it. Up to 12 o'clock from the time the polls cot sed 780 totes were cast in the First ward, and 275 in the Second. There were no arrests for illegal voting made in the First ward, though it is believed there were many ‘votes of an illegal nature polled. In the Second ward Jo- seph T, Sturges was arrested for Megal voting—he not be- ing a citizen. He was brought 6 the Mayor, who eld him to bailin the amount of $300 to answer. As usual, nearly all tho polls in these warda were in low oggeries in mean localitics. The quietness with which fhe election paseed off in the First and Seoond wards yes- terday, we were every where informed, was but the calm preceding the storm of December. THIRD WARD. It was romarkably quiet in this ward, nota single ar- rest being made, and no disturbance whatever areund the polla. The vote was very light; in fact not hardy half the vote polled last year was polled yesterday. Tho Telice had litle oF nothing todo, nO illegal voters being ‘erount + FOURTH WARD. In this precinct, compared with election day exhibitions ‘usually in the ward, the scones yesterday were of a sur paseingly quiet charactor, 90 much so as to excite general observation and comment, As in the other wards ef the city the closing of liquor stores and groggeries within ene hundred feet of the polls bad doubtless a goed deal te do ‘with the Improvement manifest over preseding elections, the election districts now being more numerous than heretofore, and consequently leaving but few rum shops bich could keep 0] without violating the law.

Tuo supposition of course i8, that the variegated decanters and their divereeiy colored cyntente, on ordinary days so abundantly displayed, on this day’ were kept out of sight and reach. In some localities the rule in this regard may have been complied with; but a person endowed with anything like a lively perception of sinelis would hardly erciit that such was the cage in moro than one or two places yesterday, At No, 11 Jacob street, where the ‘voting in the First district tosk place, tho polls were to the rear of @ barroom, the voters being obliged to. pass through the barroom to deposit their votes.

At the Shakepere Hotel, the headquarters in ths Fecond election district, there was u couriderable crowd wil day. Inoications were frequent of a desire for a “mugs,” but the indications did uot reach atauy ume fever beat, the boiling over and striking point. The exciting part of the contest bere, more go than in any other part of the ward, was about the election of Senator, In tnis district, however, John McLeod Murphy waa decidedly in the ascendapt. At noon one hundred ana Ofty votes had been poiled here. Iu the Fifth district in this pre- cinct the ballot boxes were ranged op the op of a bar, which the canvaseers, like 80 many seeming bartenders, stood behind. The shelves were temporarily barren of decanters, but liquor casks were ranged round the room, making @ most impressive and ve dieplay. In the Third cistrict asailor, whe afterwards gave his bord Ag pf nomiy Sted arrested [8 a thes voung y. m being challenged he stated that he boarded at the Bailors’ House, No. 26 Cherry Ftreet, and that he had lived there long evongh w quality him to be a voter, It was afterwards ascertamed that be belonged to the United Stave naval ship Walker, and that he arrived from Boston ouly three weeks ago. He ‘was taken before a police magistrate 0 auawer a of illegal voting. A companion, also a euilor, who gave his name ag James Quaid, was going to swear in a vote, but after kissing the Bible concluded to back down. He was arrested, but after examination was released from custody. ‘Two sets of inspectors were ambitious to axzume the labor and responsibility of canvaseing the votes polied in the Sixth district. At daylight the duplicate inspec- tors made their appearance at the polling place. Happily they happened to beiong to the same party, and @ com- promise was soon effected by one from one’ set and two from the other being mutually agreed upon t> act as can- varsers. The cause uf the double appomtment, it appeare, arose from the Alderman of the district having one eet, and the Councilman the other, As the time ap- proached for closing the polls the crowd of voters of place . ‘ishman, in whom the election fever arisen to an abnormal height, demolisbed several booths in the Seventh district, when a | mate ciub brought bim to a realiz ing sense that was transcending the rights of an American citizen. He was taken to the station house, and the remnants of the booths he had demolished were quickly epirited hing da! male and female urchins who were on the lookout indiing wood material. In this ward very few presented themselves to vote whose names were not on the registry list. In case of the names being omitted, the parties, of courge, had to go before a Com- muesioner and sign the prestribed affidavit in the case ‘The gave rise, paturally, to a good deal of grumbling and vituperations against the Registry act. FIFTH WARD. ‘There was one or two slight rows in this ward, but none of aeerious character. In the morniug two or three rowdies attempted to interfere with voters, but when arrested they were allowed to go, on the promiee that they would jeave the district. A man named Wilson was arrested for illegally voting. SIXTH WARD. The famous Bloody Sixth was quiet and decent all day; Bo fights or rows to chronicle. The policemen all stated that they never saw so quiet an election. These officers were compelled to look on as sient spectators all day. ‘The extra precaution taken by the Chief of Polico in send- ing.targe squads to certain districts proved to be unne- cessary. Even the headqiarters of the famous “Duad Rabbits” was almost as quiet as the Fifth avenue polls. Our reporter visited the places where the election was held in this ward five or six times during the day, eup poring that there must, from the nature of things, be a row before night, but was flually compelled to return with- out a gensation item, and at the same time doubting the Justice of the epithet ‘‘bloody” to this ward. Tue only place where enough of the plebians assembled to get up auy muss was at No. 7 Mulberry street. At that place the sidewalks and most of the street were flied with the denizens of that locality, who had evidently gathered therato see the fun. They stood with their hands io their pockets, mouths open and eyes elated, as it every moment ay; The = * fo, see some wonderful demonstration. without witnessing anything MPTP, wutil night, bat two or three drunken men. The election in the First district of this ward was held in the basement of the building at 10 Chambers street. ‘There was only now and then a straggling voter found his way there. officers of the election complained that they ¢id not bave enough to do to keep them awake; only twenty-five votes were polled up to twelve o'clock. ‘The votes of Second district were received in the second story of the sixth Ward Hotel, There was not the least sign of an election there on the street, and only three or four persens on th: outside. ‘The election in the Third district was more lively. Our reporter beard a number of complaints in regard to the Regietry law. Several persons failed to get householders to watify thatthey resided in that district, and went away without voting. The polls were opened for the Fourth district In a small segar stand, near the west side of the Tombs; the nearness to the wallg of that gloomy building ro doubt kept the plebians of this locality in bounds. The same stereotype phrase, ‘No excitement,” applies to this district. ‘To find the officers of election in the Fifth district our reporter had to (ae through @ liquor etore at 8% Centre street, into a back room, where the inbabitants of this famous locality were voting faster than at any other . Those engaged in recording the voles were ex ceedingly busy. ‘Ibe complaints of the Registry law were numeroue, but, a8 far a our reporter couid learn, no per- son who appeared lost bis vote that was entitled to one. In many instances it put the voters to a frost deal of trouble, but in most cases the blanks were filled up, the pergon sworn and his vote received before he left’ the room. The greatest complaint came from the mechanios, who bad buta short time during the morning to obtain persons to certify to their residing in the districts. Our visits to No. 7 Mulberry atreet were frequent. Tho fact of there beipg an unusual number of names regis- tered in this district caused everybody to expect a lively time, There was more trouble than at any other district in the ward. Scores came there stating that they wont in person and got their names registered, but they could not be found upon the list, ae many of them made their oath that they saw the Hegistrars write their names down. There was an apparent incompeteney on the part of the registrars in thie district; there must have been at least two bunared that made their appearasce there whose names did not appear on the registrars’ list. Most of these deciared that they went and got their names registered, but, pot finding their names upon the list, left, cursing the Jaw. Afew of these would come back, after the Jayee of an bour, with a householder to swear to their deing a resident of that district; but the majority of them refused to make .the least effort to voto. Tho voto was much emailer ip thie district than it would have boen otherwise. But bow docs it happen that eo many names are not recorded, when a larger number of amos have found their way upon the registrars’ books than thereare voters ip the district? The entire portion of this district is filled with tevement houses, where the habitats oum- Der as many families as there are windows. This class of persons change their residences frequently. The regis- tras took the poll list of last year and copied the entire list into their books and then pat down the heme of every person that came to rogister his name afterwards. us the list has been swollen to an incre- duloue number, by recording the names of those who are not residents of the ward—elther dead or moved away, Had any ‘of these persons whose names are upon the books, but moved out of the ward, made their appear- ance, their votes would have been taken and no questions kod, while the real inhabitant of the ward would lose ‘here wore many instances of the names being registered, and the place of resi- dence given was the residence of the person Inet year, who, perhaps, had moved months ago to Rome adjoining street, but yet in the same district. In this ivgtence the voter had to pass through the same form that those ¢id whose names ‘id not appear in the books. A person appearing to vote was always asked ube question your name registered?” If he auswered ib the negative, he was asked: Why di your vote?” In nine cases outof ton he roplie Told it was not necessary. In this district, however, the wus ‘That I did” Notwithstanding, Before a person could he bas t take a blank form to the Commissioner, and testify why he did not get his nome registered’, and look up some person who is willing to make oath that be resides tn the district, There was no iliegal voting and no arrests in this district, ‘The description of one district auswers for all, with the exception that all the others were more quiet, and but little complaint as to the Registry law, although a num. ber of the officers ¢1 election declared ita farce. There were more votes polled between the hours of twelve an one o'clock than at any other period during the day. For seme cause iT everybody in this ward predicted a lively time at the cbarter election next month. The police at every locality offre cheerfully all tho assistance in their power to the representatives of the press. SEVENTH WARD. ‘The Seventh ward hus had rather « ebaky reputation as toquict and straightforward voting upon election day. ‘Yesterday the election proceeded in the ward, however, in a way toreliove the precinct somewhat of its prior character. There aro nine election districts in this ward, und fortunately only one more than half of tho voting placce were in rum shops. The election, of conrse, could vot well proceed without an occasional skirmieh; and skirmishes 1d arigo, but none, happily, were of a serious character, Only one arrest was reported for attempting to vete illegally, which was in the Righth district, Tho arrested party was a nian piving his name as Mr. MeMul- len, and lls business that of a boatman. He came to the Poll directly after it bad opened, and was among the first to offir bis vote. One of the policemen detailed at the poll whispered something fa the ear of ouw of the can- vasrers, when the following dialogue ensued, etics the part of the prisoner an extraordinary ‘aatbieon ve come a voter — Canvs+eeR—Where do you live, sir?

(be tora] number of arrests growing out of the election were only three, in addition to the ove referred to above. ‘The additional arrests were for intoxication and disorderly conduct, tp the Third, Sixth and Seventh election districts, respectively. EIGHTH WARD. ‘There were twelve polling places in this ward, each of which wag thrown open to the electoral body at a little afier #ix o'clock yesterday morning. Our reporters were on the ground soon after the beginfiing of opera- tions. From seven o’clock until noon the utmost languor and sluggisbners prevailed in the registration of electors. The scribes employed to register the names of voters had Little or nothing to do, except re at their pen to band, ready to record ne eee ba) elowly-arrivirg makers of ( popular representatives. There was 2 strong distribution of the potice force thi wis sard, uve the utmoet order and tranquillity were every- where preservet. There was the usual number of un- employed frecmen loitering about the doors of the piacee, blocking up the passages to the ticket booths, otherwise obtruding their slovenly and disfavorable per- song in the vieinity of the “eene of operations.” of these roughs looked as if they were awfully “ dry,” to Judge by the wistful and forlorn glances which they re. peatedly threw at the closed doors of the ram m the vicinity, At noon, one could not help being reminded of the exclamation of the beilicose Irish- man when he couwn’t see a chance for a fight:— “What! 12 o'clock, and => row yet?” But so it was. Although the crowd of spectators continued grad- uully to increase, there was not the slightest com: nor disturbance discernable in any part of this ward, with one Foiitary exception. This was the case of a refractory democratic youth in the Fourth district, who felt inclined to excreige more privilege than is constitutionally accorded him, by intimidating and bullying respectable and eligible voters. But this episode was narrowed intos very con- fined compass. ‘Three or four sturdy officers of the peace being in close propinquity, their services were summarily called into requisition, and the choleric young -man was borne away from the scene of his exploits in anything bat. atrivmphantmanner. The lesson thus decisively was a salutary ope, and had a err ray , for no attempt was made to tamper wi nights and privileges of Lovest and upright citiz-ns. - The police regulation tor the closing of all places where intoxicating Liquors are cold, daring the hours of election, was very faithfully carried ont; a8 far as our reporters could Gbeerve and ascertain, there was not a regu- ar liquor rtore opened for trade. Certainly a good deal was done in a sly way, through private ave-. nves and back doors, but these were my with which the initiated alone were conversant. Une ex- cellent result of the strict observance of this rule was that many of thoee bruta! ecenes so frequently witnessed at Jectione were absent from the movement y 2 ly were there no fights in this ward, but even beginning of a disturbance was not to be observed; and a police officer informed one of our reporters that bis lot was cast ip a rather rough district he bad not heardso much ae an angry ged between any parties, ‘ although,” he significantly wided, ‘there ig time crough for that, and blows too, before the closing of the polls.” His fears, howe ver, were not verified.

There was nothing particularly remarkable in the scenes at the poilicg pluces in this ward to merit detatled ton, The Regrstrars—who, by the way, wereall and genticmur'y in their demeanor—were found Ree of apartments, surronnded by thetr assistants and all their electioneerit majority of the registrars condemned it as an ebtirely useless measure, on! to clog and impede the progress or onelgay This latter view of the matier was very clearly demonstra- ted by the number of unregistered votera who presented themtelves for the exercise of the suffrage. ral of these were good voters, but their names dM not appear on whe Registry, and the consequence was that they had to proceed by the circuitous of obtaining sworn aifida- Vite of their inability to have regietration in this city. A great deal of time was wasted by this procees, and a8 a result, in many of the districts » had not been over seventy or hty votes polled at boontide. Ae near as the figures could be obtained, with a smail allowance of time for the various districts, there were fd 1,450 votes polled in this ward at twelve o'clock. Ar the afternoon wore on, the aspect of affairs began to aseume more lively appearances. Greater crowds assem- Died about the recording offices, aud a few extemporary rough and tumble cases turned up in the upper part of the ward. In Varick street, the boys took to punching one another’s heads, “Suet for the fun of the thing; but nothing of a serious character occurred. There were buta few cases of inebriety, and if there were any arrests besides the one mentioned above, they must have been very quietly ar- ranged, @s nobody knew anything of them. On the whole, the election in this ward was conducted with unusual order and decency, and the polls were closed at about half past four o'clock as qi a iy had been opened in the morning, accompanied im todd. ter case enly by the enthusiastic cheering of hosts of urchins who had been loitering around during the whole NINTH WARD. In the Ninth ward—the banner ward and stronghold of the opposition, as the Sixth ward is the stronghold of the democracy—very little excitement prevailed. But one arrest for intoxication was made during theday by the police. In theafternoon two politicians got into a squab- ble on the corner of Hudson and Perry streets. One charged the other with treachery in supporting & particu- e their votes were accepted. pacar Ae ab pial bomen ap oyeter salons, &c. ‘The majority polled before TENTH WARD, ‘The Firet district polls were held at the Tenth Ward Hotel.
