The polls in Bayard street were held in the second story, front room of the Armitage Hotel—s house of no vory great pretensions. Here the early vute was not large, apd the voting not brisk during the day. The crowds were kept, with the poliiog booth, nearly a block Gown the street, and two stalworth policemen guarded the door down stairs The affair was vory quiet and exolu- tive, aud up stairs only the inspectors, caailengers and policemen were allowed to remain.

Strong patrols of police wore detailed cytpe a ‘i i & great many chellengee of Union as well as republican ‘votes, but the scrutiny which they attempted to exercise only tended to delay the voting for a short time, without any other reeult. A silght confusion took place at tho corner of Pike and Madison strests among some people who were congregated about the polls. At one time it seemed as if there would be some treuble here, There wase general advance and retroat, afew biows wore exchanged, ono or two heads were mado to bleed, but the whole thing soon after aubsided. Uy to the bour of closing the polls there were a0 other sigaz of ecrious dipturbance.
