sbout twonty five per cent over the vole which Opdyke received. This Aiguring would give about 27,000 majority WF tbe fustoniste im the city. & Vors—Wo’re not afraid of that. Guceon Desraa—Notja bit of it. That will do us ao barm, Ai, bi, bt) ‘Mr. Drarga then announced the following returns fr) (he several districts of the Ninth ward:— = ee a3 29 ‘These figures did not appear to produce a very satiafnc- tery impression on the eadience, but Mr. Draper reas (waved their crooping spirits by the sugg etion that as all _ @vents they reduced the majority against them at the laa) Mayeralty election. Hore s message was received from the Eighteenth werd w the effect that the Tenth district had gives 283 fantopjvotes against 97 Lincols, and the Fourteenth dis- twist #46 fusion votes againsigé9 Lincoln. These figures ‘were leas cheering than the others and were received fir, and that Lincoln was all safe enough. The next re- farn was from the Seventh district of the Twentieth ‘ward, and indicated £27 for Lincoln against 238 for fusion. This was bailed with plaudits and bravos, and feme enthusiastic Lincoln man offered to bet tat he would carry the State by 70,000 majority. About this time there was a lull in the arrival of re- tures, and somebody called our for a speech. Lieutenant Governor Noble, of Wisconsin, was on the stand, and (heats of “Noble, Noble, Noble,” were sat ap fx. Dearsn—One moment, gentiemes. Let us_have seme more returns. A Vorce—Simeon, introduce Noble. (Laughter) fm, Duarax—Oh, you get out. (Roars of laughter.) 1 have gota despatch which I want toread to you. Here As Inbtusarotss—Somon Dares, Fifth avenve.—Indiana a right. Hi, ‘bhi, bi,” loud hurras and clapping of hands.) Sacnos Daaree—Just send back word that Now York is Ml right. (Horrab.) ‘Zhe calls for Noble were renewed, and were this time vespended to by that gentleman. As he commenced to ppesk there were shouts of ‘Hats off in front, so that the Indies can sce.” (Laughter.) He commenced by say- img—‘Othello’s eocupation’s gone,” “The burly burly’s done,” “The battle’s lost and won”’—eepecially the latter. ‘Taree or four weeks ago I was here and found suspended from a string a lot of stones Isbelled “New York Botel democratic arguments.” They had been thrown ‘rough you windows, They were the Testimony of the recks”—(laughter)—the foot prints of the sham @mecracy—the tracks of the political Sauriens of the ‘Becbanan era. (Laughter.) 1 thought when I saw those mementoes that our friends of the New York Hotel, who Imad allied themselves to political eunuohs, had probsbly Deen Atting themselves for their associates by perform- fing the operation of self emasculation. (Poals of laugh- *) Vorce—Doo'' strike #o bard. AnoTaxn—Hit ’om again. ) Nosts—I think I will write a book. ‘Of writing books ‘Ahere is no end.” If I do] will oall it “Political Pertpatetios. Reminiscences of the Campaign of 1860, Two volumes. Garper & Brothers. Dedicated to our friend, Sim. Draper.” BB would be a good idea to embellish it with wood cuts, Resompanied with affidavits, for the purpose of showing fhe real existence of the late Stephen A. Douglas. (Laugh- fer.) 1 bad a good many curious sdventures out there, and I will give you one little reminiscence, as illustrating ‘the extreme lengths to which men will sometimes be dri- ‘ven for an argument. 1 wes ap in Ulster county, where I made 8 speech—a common failing of mize, There were weme very clever democrats there, of both the Breckin- ridge and Douglas stripe, and we had a kind of love feast fm the barroom. A gentleman stepped up to me with a red fee and an aploplectic neok—(A voioce—'’A democrat "’)— Baid be to me, “I beard your speech and 1 want you to nderstand that I am 6 South Carolinian. (The same vyoloe—‘‘Certainly a democrat”—laughter ) “Very well—you left South Garolina, did your” “Yes, sir.” A good place to eave.”” (Roars of laughter.) “1 want you to understand, sir, that] think as mach of ‘the nurse who took care of mo asa child, as 1 doof my own mother.” “Very well, sald I, there is no dispating concerning testes. Iwas born and brought up in the State of New York, among white folks.” Bere the anecdote was interrupted by the arrival of more returns, and yielding to the anxioty to hear news _ of the election Mr. Noblefstood aside for a time. One chap in the crowd, impatient to forestall the news, shouted out, “19,000 majority in the city,” but be was met by shouts of “Put that fellow out,’”’ “Give us the re- tarne,” &o. The returns indicated the following as the result in the Second, Sixth and Fourtesnth wards:— The audience indulged in a very melancholy “‘w—hew” ts theee figures were read, but Sim. Draper called upon them not to be frightened, that bed as these figures were Abey showed republican gains. Seventeen districts of the Bieventh ward, he said, had given 1,845 for Lincoln, against 8,898 for fusion, and that was ® gain of 1,400 over the Inst election. This called forth some plaudits, and then, as there were no more retaras to be asmounced, there were calls for ‘Noble, Noble,” “Tell the story,” “What about the South Carolinian?” Kowia—It ts nota story. It is the trath. A Vorce—Bogin at the beginning. Nosia—I will tell you what the South Cerolinian ssid if there are no more retarns. (Volos, —Go ahesd;” “Go on.'’) I told the South Carolinian that I was brought cp im the State; of New York and never sucked a negrers, ‘nor was dandied in ber arms when « child; thet | never ‘was spanked and put to bed by one, and did . asso ciate with negressce when I grew up to manhood That iss mere matier of taste, (Laughter.) Said be, “You talked about practical amalgamation, ‘apd paid there were a great many muila\toes im the South. orn States.” “Yes,” 1 auld, “there were more mulatioes in the State of Vig Dia than there were voters, and that they belonged to the amalgamation party.” “Well,” sald he, “I wan't you to notios thie one fact Tadmit there ere mulattore in the Southern Stales; but if you know anyt@wg about physiology, you must keow there je & way of accounting for that, When s female is ins delicate eituation she is tnfusnced by causes all erow her. These negro women ste white folke all around them—(laughter)—and that is the Teeult. ‘That \@ the reason there are #0 many mulattons (Roars of Inughter.) Now, eaid he, that is @ physiolog!- fal fact. Do yoo not recollect the story of Laban and the pected rods, in the Bible?” yYes,"’ ald I, “but I have thooght, from my study of the Subject, that the result there came (rom the use of aa in- jual pooled rod im esch individual caso.” (Pests of laughter, lo the midet of which Mr, Noble sat down. Ko was aflerwards induced to tell another aneodote of the campaign, but It was Bot 80 well pointed aa this oae. Mr. Daren here announced that from four wards— incloding the §Sixth—they found they bed gained a thoneand votes over the iast election. A Voice—That ie the relative voter Mr. Daarae—Thia '# an increased vote; but we havo pet the whole vote; we have only the majorities, The mejority against as last yoar in these four wards was 1,672 Now it is only 6,699, A Vowwa—That will brig the majority below 90,000. Returns from the Fourth ward were here announced, showing 2,089 votes for the Union, aga'nst 626 for Lin- ooln. The anoowncs ment was received with evidences of wincing, and euch ejacalatoos as * Ou!” “ whew!” “ That's pretty etrong,’’ were beard on all sides. NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1860. Smt, Daaree—Car cetimates gave them more than that, The Fin-enth ward gives @ majority of 851 for fasion, and teat ie » gain for us of 114 vous. 4= In¢'anzn—What 's the fusion majority so far as beard fomr 84. Daarzn—I have not footed it up. If the returns Leep up aa they are coming in, the majority against us in be city will be 98,000. Vorom—'Good,”’ “Thas’s sale enough.” Ba. Daaree—I got a» letter today saving that if they did not get more than 100 000 in the city, we would Nok them. (Laughter and applause.) The Seoond dis- trict of the Twelfth ward geve 90 majority to Buchasan Tt pow gives Linc)in a majority of nine, (Qheers and eries of “Bully for the Twelfth ward.””) &m,—We’ll link’em up there. (laughter) Here two youths, in the Wide Awake unj/orm, squeed thetr way up to the stand and banded tn returns. There was great anxiety to bear the figures, and shouts of «git down in front,” “Hats off,” “Order,” “What's the Bewe?” Sm. Drarse—In every ward heard from we more ‘than hold our own, as compared with the estimate pub. Mabed in the Bening Post giving 25,000 majority to the fusionists in this city. If we bold our own throughout the city im accordance with this calculation, Abraham Lincoln, a gentleman out here in Ilinois, is, beyond all question, the President of the United States, (Loud beers and ories of “Bully for you.””) Similar scenes, mixed ap with remarks of a like cha- racter, took piace all through the evening as fresh returns ‘were brought in, and our reporter left the rooms With the general understanding on the part of the republicans present that the Union majority in the olty ‘would not exceed 26,000, and that the republican ma- Jority im the State would be at least 60,000. As be pass- ed the headquarters of the Bell and Everett men be beard the announcement made there that the majority in the city would be 45,000. The result shows that the republ!- cans came much nearer to the mark. THE FUNERAL SERVICES IN TAMMANY. THE CLOFING HOURS, GASPS, SPASMS AND CONVUL- SIONS—DR. RYNDERS AND THE NORSE3—THB FINAL CONSULTATION AND DYING KICK, BTC. Old Tammany Hall in years gone by, in the event of any great election, has usually beow the safety valve where the sovereigns in their might have resorted at the close of the day to blow off their excess of steam, as well as to test the condition of the great public boiler by which the engine of the republic bas been maintained in working order. The Tammany of the past apd Tammany of the present, however, are two different institutions Time was whea the old wigwam was the scene of such gatherings as al moat ‘waked the echoes of the dead;”” when some of the best men of the metropolis were wont to gather within ite walls, and ventilate ideas that found a respoase throughout the length and breadth of the Btate; when Plans were laid, policies marked out and public measures determined that affected the weal or woe of & people; when it was, in 8 word, 8 great political heart, from which emanated a vitality that puleated with rich life in @ thousand ar- tries. . But to-day, slas! “How have the mighty fallen.” Tammany Hall hardly musters a corporal’s guard. Ie glory bas gone; its ancient splendor bas departed, and all ‘that remains to mark ® former epoch are a few of the fossil politicians who cling to the sinking sbip, and “live or die, survive or perish,” bave united their fortanes to the destinies of their Alma Mater. A better illustration of this downfall coald not have been furnished than last evening, when the.doors of the wigwam were thrown open as in former days for the sovereign democrate to assemble and drink in the tdings of a party success or a party defeat. Instead of gleaming lights, « glorious illuminstion, waving flags, bands of music, a oongregation of grave sachems, ® committee room filled with men, big with the fate of the nation, ‘waiting the returns which announced the result, and au enthusiastic multitude cheering with souls full of joy—what was the present picture? A hall grim and gloomy until two or three bours of the even- ing baa passed away; « meighborbood around Mt up with calcium lights, reflecting on bright bulletins the results of the election, throngs of people, ‘countless as the leaves of the forest, gathered around them, a few dozen individuals only doing instinctive duty in ‘and about the portals of the ancient shrine itsaif, a lack of all genuine enthusiasm but that of idle curjosity, and solemnity of association that only served to recalls Not a'drum was heard, nor « funeral note, As bis corse to the grave we hurried. ‘Within the same sed silence. A few minutes before eight @’clock the old hall was lighted ep, but with how little of ite early prestige. On the dilapidated platform s crowd of boys, with faces that indicated a cross between men and ‘Dull dogs, a solitary speaker,a throng of idlerson the floor, waving in and out as they tired of the unpalatable and uninteresting spectacle, and a general lack of all that excites the animus of humanity and keeps men to- gether in bonds of political sympathy. Such was the Pictare, without exaggeration, of the condition of affairs tm Tammany Hal! last night. A little before eight o'clock, the present high priest of the mstitution appeared tm the sonne, asd ins momeat more Gap}. Ieaish Rynders waa ashered upon the platform ‘amid the cheers of the benighted people, who thronged around him with ali the devotion of a crowd of spaniels &round a good patared maetif. The Captain was in one of his best humours, and as will be seen from the ensuing olla podrida \aid himeelf out upon the election in bis usual characteristic manner. SPERCH OF CAPTAIN RTWDERA. Fellow citizeos—I have received the returns of one ‘ward—the Thirteenth—which was always safe. They give us s majority to night, @ glorieus majority. (Tre- mendous obeers.) A Vorce— Who gave you the return? Cart. R—No matter—I my ite so. Pacts speak for themeeives. Here a messenger came with the snnoupcement that the Sixth Ward bad given & republican majori- ty, bet the report was instantly repudiated by the gallant Captain, who suggested that it had probably gove the other way, What oan I say to you, fellow citizens, continued he, on this cocasion? What shall I may to you, Minate Mes of New York? The re turns are goming dolefally im for as. You've soon an iwstance, which indicates what will bo the aitimate eat! mate ag determined by the organs of the biack repud- Hican party to morrow morning. A Vows—Never mind, Captain; the city’s all right. Never mind that; give us the home returns, Captain. Capt. Rywpmns—Whee | have them I'll announce then. In the meantime I will occupy s few moments in a talk. ‘This meeting to-night will not convey to ue any idea of the result of the general clection, but we shall give you ‘the results of our labors, Boys, | have worked all thie @ay—I bave worked and worked like boaver—and this ‘a the climax to all the efforts of the kind in which I ever engaged. 1 bavo seen clearly from ihe beginning what would be the result. The efiy will be triumphant. (Hi! bi! Three cheers for New York."") Here a messenger appeared in hot haste, bringing the returns of the Fifth ward, which wore stated at fire bundred. Another appeared with returns from the Thirteenth, which were wildiy announced aa ‘“‘ainoteen huadred for the Union.” (Three ebeers for the Thirteen 'h.) Capt. Rrwpmes—Gentlemen, this ie good news, I! it be trae, It shows that the wards of New York are all right for the Union. Are we ynived or not? A Vowe—No; bere’s a feller that aint. (Laughter: “Put him outl’’ “No, put him together!” Renewed a. | koep still; Loan’ hear myeolf think. (More caohinetion ) A Vous—Tell an the trath, Captain, Capt. Rywprrs—I novor do anything clee. (Three cheers for the “ould mon, Rynders”") I'll tell you the truth Juat ot teat an it Comes ja, but one truth I'll tell you now, | ‘snd that (s, that had (¢ not been for our republionn ene- | mics we should have been enabled to poll nearly twice as many voles for the Union as we hive done. No poll, (on my optaion, ought to bave the pames of more voters registered than can vote ani do Justice Lo the subject. No poll ought to bare more than four hundred vow, ‘and ft is troe that the men who have charg* of these things should be called sooount. Somebody ought to take this bull by the horns, and, though the man who advocates the praction may be my beat friend, 1 am ready for the task, Do: “ay, with the syetem of voting whieh crows Ath) acd men toto (ene than half that camber of minates throws power into the hands of a few, and prevents the honest voter? of thetr country from doing their duty at tho polls. (That's #0, that’s It, give it to "em, Capital.) This cocnrrence muat pot take place again. A Vows, with “the sweet Irish brogue’”—Bedad, ye epakes the trath. Capt. Rrxpens —h was s part of the business of those tm power to have provided for the wants of the poopie ‘w this respect. There are many things that have coour- Fed this day to keep us from getting to the polls, In the Grst place, the black repubitcansJhave taken every oppor ‘unity they oou'd leagally—I say legally, for I like to Give the devil hia due—(laugbter)—io delay us while at- ‘empting Wo exercise our rights, and, by the way, boys, Til give a “epectmen brick” of the pertinacity of some Of there fellows when they try to interfere with decent men, There wasa little fellow came into my office the other day—you've heard of him in the papers—and be wanted to obtain some information, 1 gave bim all I Could. Btill he persisted. He wasn’t satisfied, but want- ed more. Bo J told him, ‘My friend, I wist yoo would Just leave me and get out of this office as fast as you can.” ‘Well, be didn’t seem to “take” at all, and be bothered #0 much that I flos)ly turned to him—for I was sit- Sing at my deak—and said, ‘Damn you, I wiah the devil bad you. Get oat; God damn you, I'd like’ to bang you, and the whole pack of you.” “Why,” ssysbe mildly, ‘I don’t want to quarrel with you, Captain; I don’t bate you; I don’t hate thejdevil.”” “Don’t hate the devil,” said I, “you should’nt hate the devil. Why, he’s the prime leader of you all, and no ore deserves your bate than your grandfather.” (Great laughter and cheers for Rynders) I:’eme who bates. Yes, I bate the whole abolition party. I don’t want any” thipg!from them. I wouldn’t socept anything from them ‘at the end of a very long pole. (laughter ) For I believe that the carrying out of their infernal priaciples, if it bas not cone so to dey, will destroy all the unity, foree and effect of the government uuder which we live. (Ap- planse ) I despise the dirty razcals. (A voloe—'Ocb, the Basty bastes!” Laughter) They are pot worthy of « man’s hate. I wouldn’t dignify them by a display of £0 much feeling. I'd like to hang ’om all up, by God! wouldnt you? (Yee! yes!’ and Janghter.) Bere a namber of returns came in from various wards, which were read amid the greatest enthusiasm. 4 Voicx from the back part of the hall—More good news! I have reliable jnformation that Anson Burlingame, the right bower of tbe bloody Charlee Sumner, is de- feated. (Tremendous cheers ) Capt. Rrwpsns— Well, I’ve bet a bat, a bottle of cbam- page and a pair of boots on this election. If that news is true I’) give you my coat, (Laughter.) 4 Vows—Do 00 some more, Let’s have the returns. In reply t0 which the Captain and his mathematician Dehind bim spent some fifteen or twenty minates in figur ‘wg up returns from the different districts, which were Shen announced to the expectant multitade, amid such display of vociferation as completely drowned all at- tempts to bear a word slipped in edgewise. The audience meanwhile ebbed and flowed in regular Aides, tbe ball being emptied almost to ite sediment and then repknishing to overflowing, while segar smoke, puffed from the lips of hundreds who for the eccasion seemed transformed into so many perambulating chim- peys, bung Ike s thick pall above the multitade, Silence belng again restored, the Captain broke eut agsin as follows:—Boys, Dye been shoved ap here, I wish somebody would shove me down apd take my piace. “Never mind—go on.” Well, I will; but I must tell you what sticks in my throat, ‘and that is, that owing to the delay of inspeo- tors around the ballot box, we were net able to get in all the votes of our party, and that there are thousisds in this city, and perhaps some tp this hall, who have not exercived their lega} and national rights today. (Volces— “Yes, I’m one,’ and ‘I’m another,” and “I’m another.’’) AB an instance of this, in my own ward, where I have lived and voted for ten years, I went to the polls, as you know is my custom (laughter), to vote. The man knew me as well assny person here knows me. But, pays he, “What's your namef” ‘“Rynders,” says 1, “Captain Isaiah Rynders.” (Laughter.) “Kh, what'd you ssy?”’ “Isaiah Rynders,” I repeated. He looked at me again, and putting his hand up to his ear, ssid, “What?” “Captsin Issiah Rynders, and be damned to you.” (Immense laughter.) I rather think he heard that, and I voted and sloped. That’sa fair specimen of republican inspectors, and the way they took up the time to-day of men good and true, and deprived the demo- cratic party of some of tte best strength. A votoe, “ Captain, what majority do you give im the city to the Union men.” ‘The Carzam, “‘ About thirty one thousand, and I don’t believe It will vary two thousand from that number.’” A votes, “ How much in the State.” The Captain made Bo reply, but an expressive movement in the air with his fingers around an imaginary axis, loomed betweou nie thumb and the point of bis nose, was quite as eloquent as if he had eaid, “He didn’t know.” But, continued he, whatever it may be injthe State, the city of New York has shown herself as eminently conservative. Let others do as they may, we have st< od by the constitution. (Cheers. ) I take tt that every man who loves his country will feel @ consolation in knowing that be has this city to do (ta duty. New York is the aot per ep to the whole country. Weare the + Com mercial em portum of America, and from us vibrates every stream that carries our wealth from one end of the country to the other. If there are men who sre willing to trampie upon such interests for the love they bear the nigger, let them do it, and if the Union is diasolved, as Macbeth said to the ghost of Banquo, let them not say to the city of New York, “ Nover shake thy gory locks at (Tremendous applauee.) It ia enough for us that we have stood by the rights of the Union, by the Libertion of the people. If the State has been derelict im ita duty, 1t {s wot our fault. (Obeers ) If'there are any black suakes here, I say welcome to them. Weare gied yo are here, though you have been drawn by motives of curtosity, and we hope you will profit by it, Whether aman be a whig ors demozrat, ‘whatever bis political stripe, they ought to be ready to f#tand shoulder to showider !n #0 eacred @ cause as the Dalon; and as for me, { would as goon fight the fanatics Of the North as the fire-caters of the South. It is our duty to fight the battles of the Union, wherever may be the fisld, and to maintain ite integrity. That ts my private opinion publicly expressed. (Laughter and cheers ) I bave just beard that Mr, Pennington, that half way republican, by which I mean a half way vigger,a no- ody, @ nothing, a goed for nothing, bas boon dafeated. If that’s #0 le give three cheers, which were given with a will, I make @ difference between Pennington and Greeley—one is a half way nigger, the other goer the whole hog. Greeley is nigger all over, nigger in bi heart, nigger in his princypics, and with all that » very decent white man. (Langhter) Why, boys, I believe he’s ready to embrace « nigger wench if is only for the good of the cause, aod the moment for closing the polls the headquarters were be- Sleged by an enthusis« to crowd, auxious, even in the knowledge of the futil y of expenting anything like exact 3 40 glean she sligthest inteligence which ight indicate the varyin: . hanges of the day’s struggle the city, the Stat ani ihe more distant quarters the great battle feli As yet some bours must fwtervene before any authestio reports ovuld come im; volunteer Kecou's kept going out and burrying beck with whatever tntelligeoce thay could collect, and as there was no other than such a8 were approximately trutoful as the result shows, end consequently favorable to the glorious cause of the Union, they were reselved with such hearty cheers as bo- tobened the beartfelt pride and patriotism whiob bas marked the gigantic efforts of the‘ Usion savers” As the evening progressed similar encouraging tntroductions were made, and the accounts were received with corre- sponding acclamation. It was observabic at this time that no demonstrations were made from the beadquar- ers of the republican party, and this, with the moments rily exhiliratipg accounts apvounoed at the headquarters Of the Breckinridge party, drew forth repeated cheers from the crowd. At this moment # hundred voices calied fora spoech, ‘and after considerable trouble to find a person that would address them, Mr. 8. W. MoManym stepped forward, and, mounting the platform, spoke as follows: — Fellow-citizene—The sun mi wD a queatmed to ws by our » by toe visions: the covstitution under which we ifre, [have the pleasure to announoe to you is still safe.

I am aware that there powerful organization against whom we had to end, and which labored w strike down the rights of the Pouth, to sink the rights of the white men, them subservient to the right of desued to rae the biack man to the level of the white, contrary alike to tha yn] and prejudices of the lominant race, aad a og. of an all seeing and overruling Providence.

B6ill did'an omi- nous silence reign in the headquarters of the republican party, giving new life and energy to each fresh con @sived bope for the success of the Union ticket, but at an ufluchy moment aa announcement, verified by @ despatch from the Hxeutp, deciared that the State had not thrown the necessary preponderating majority for the Union, and that consequently all previous wei! formed and gloriously indulged hopes were cast to the ground, This threw an unmediate pall over the exultations of the meeting, chacging them from triumph to gloom. But few moments were necessary to fix the “damning fact” upon the minds of all, and with a burried perusal of the accounts which now began to pour in, and as the fact was proved beyond @ doubt, the;gallant Democrat- Je National Volunteers got rid of their fricads and in 8i- lence returned to a consideration of what could be best done in the future. ore MOZART HALL was in complete darkness last night. Our reporter, in expectation of an active and interesting session, waited for the assembly of the democrats antil bis patience and his hopes were totally exhausted. On the door lesding to the subterrancan apartments, in which the mee\ings of we party are usually held, was # notice to the public, in- forming them that 00 meeting would be held that even- tug. ‘Thinking that they might torn up in some other lo- cality, our reporter perseveringly endeavored to fad the Mozart men, but all bis inquiries were fruitless, The basement hall was és silent as it could be, and {t is a long ‘ime since so much harmony prevailed there. THE BELL AND EVERETT HEADQUARTERS. To pass from Broatway, with ite empty stages and al moet deserted sidewalks, into the crowded, heated, jam- med, packed Bell and Everett club room, was something like paddling one’s cunze out of a quiet trout stream into the roar and crash of Niagara; and tho vast crowd around the door of the club roem, in the street outelde, may well be similied by the Niasarian rapids, for such bustle, con fusion, enthusiagm, noise and cheers were hardly ever eqnatied. Inside, amidst all tho notse and tumult, a sort of meeting was orgarized to receive the returns, H. V. Hall being elected President and C. K. Bill Secretary. Chcers followed cheers as the various city retarus were received, and the shouts inside were answered, as if by echoes, by the sboute outside, The room was fairly packed and could pot possibly baye coutained twenty more men, Old men and young, experienced and inex perienced politicians were all jumbled together in one tn. extricable mara, all cheering themselves hoarse for Ualon and victory. An old gentleman, bis epectacies fy ing around hie woddirg head, elbowed a young Belleve retter, a little boy pushed bis ancient comrade and en- couraged to cheer, Livtie and big men, ia shirts ‘and oat of them, with and without bate, shouted and shouted till the roof of the room seemed in as much danger from the noise as the oor from the weight apoo it, Every nook was packed The secreiary sat upoo the table be was to write upon; the chairman kept hie peat by sufferance; the reporters’ tables were atorned with enthasiastic shouters; all wore gentlemen of the preee, and the genuine reporters wrote upon their bate, or, throwing them ap in joy at an unexpected majority, made desks of their kneos and neighbors’ backs, and scribbied the best way they could.

THE FINALE. THE SCENE AROUND THE HERALD OFFICE. From the close of the polls until s very late hour Inst night, or rather early bour this morvirg, the crowd that was around the Hrxatp offloe was not only very Great, but also very excited. At one time there could not bave been less than from three to four thousand per- sons, all very anxious to witness the returns as they Were individually embibited om the traseparencion at the three windows at the corner of Nassau and Fulton strects. As each return appeared a hearty shout greeted jt, but ag the large majoritics of certain wards wore made known, the feelings of the crowd seemed to be more and more excited. Between five apd seven o'clock large groups of persona might have been seen around the outer bulletins aad in the bustness office of our establishment, aaxiously read- img the telegraphic despatches from Maryland, Virginie and othet parte, which were then made public. Shortly after that time the returns from the different wards be- gan to appear on the transparencies, which were not only | ‘Muminated by the gas light behind, but also by a very powerful Drummond light, which was placed on tho second building from the opposite corner of Fulton and Nassau streets, io a disgooal direction, This bigot weemed to givo great satisfaction to the crowd as they loudly declared “the Hema wat always ready to roake every thing clear for the benefit of the citizeus, and fo throw a light upon all matters of interest.” Others thought that the Drommond light was ‘a good idea’ As the crowd gathered round, some rasoais of boye drove a hand-barrow through the living mass, but at they tried to repeat the trick they wore seat “to the right about’? and cleared off for the night. At auother time the deco rated wagoa of the fusion party was driven through the crowd, and was sot only allowed to pars peaceably, but was received with loud cheers. Energetic news boys were trying thelr utmost during tbe esrly part 6f the evening to dispose of Salt Kivor Mokets, and {n some cases made gales, but the generality of the people were (oo aaxious to witness the returns, And therefore paid very litte attention to the solicitation of the young ‘men of business.” When the large majority for the fusion ticket given by the Siath ward made ile appearance, the beers woe very loud and hearty. About this timo the crowd bad gathered together Into too large a mae to allow the Ful Won street stages to pase without greatly imoommuding the people, and a volunterily formed committee plaved Ubomeel ves at the the vctelde of the crowd 0a elther ead to turn the vebicka back into Broadway on the one side, and down Ni fireet on tbe otber.
