Tt is not a little singular that whenever an election in this city 1s preeeded by great misgivings as to riots, murders and disturbances of a serious nature, it is always sure Wo pass offin a very quiet manner. Tho | election yesterday Was no exception to the general | rule, notwithstanding that excitable democrats had for weeks previous foretold the slaughter of good and pious fellows o1 their ik who would not harm the halr ofa repubdiican’s head at any time or place for tho sake of 100,000 majority, aud that equally excitable republicans had predicted scenes of bieod and partisan havoc thateven Uncle Sam's soldier boys trembled to hear teiLuf In dact, a quieter election was never held In the metropolis.

The Fighth Ward was perhaps the Hveltest of any of the quarters of the city, owimg principally to the fact that it con- tains the largest number of colored people. These were early astir and flocked to the polis In great glee, determined on the exercise of their newly ac- quived rights, The voting went on regularly and ques, during the day, and nothing occurred to dis- turb the peace until jatein the evening, when wale un uproar was created throuzi tue ill-auge arrest by a United States marsual of a Mr. A.
