THE HERALD BUILDING AT NICHT. ‘If the general aspect of tne day was dull it was -eertainly lively enoagh in the evening around the ‘ERALD Office, This, in fact, was the grand politi- Cal Mecca, where last evening centered all political Gevotees anxious to learn the results of the election, and Knowing full well, as all did, that here, as in accordance with a custom of years standing, the returns as fast as made out would be speedily bronght py the winged Mereary’s of the HERALD, ana, presto change, as speedily made visible to the public gaze on broadiy expansive canvas in front of the HERALD Building, and, with the brightly illuminating rays of a pow- erful calcium light thrown upon it, aseasy to read as anderthe effulgent light of the midday sun. Tne crowd last evening was something more than a crowd. Iwas A PERFECT JAM. The throng commenced gathering early in the even- iog—a ripple of humanity at first; then a wave swellen to grand proportions; then a tide, seething, surging, rushing in with impetaous, resistiess force. The crowd Billed the oMiee, filed the entrances, filled the steps, filled the entire street in front. An interestiag: study were these Anulutudinous faces—a more interesting study to aisten to their varying comments, It was not aabbie. There were sprinklings of canailie, repre- sentatives of the bourgeois element as it exists in his city.

Till midmight, till one A.M., tll two.a, M., tall the last.return was placed on the canvass, till no longer an item of in- telligence could be gleaned, the crowd lingered and looked and talked of the results. There was general satistaction, The crowd—most of them— ‘went away pleased—pleased at the sad discomature of Tammany—ple: at the enterprise aud public irit of the HERALD that so generously gave them the news 1n advance of its wider promulgation to the farthest boundaries of civilization through the Titanic power of its gigantic presses. At the HERALD Uptown Branch office, 1,265 Broad- way, the election returns were exhibited, Arrange- ments were made to transmit these by telegraph, by special wire, and the result was that there was the most intense anxiety as to the result by the up- town residents. Tie bulletin was iJiuminated by two poweriui Drammond lights, THE TREMENDOUS TAMMANY HALL. Tammany Hall was dark, dreary and dismal last evening. No lights were visible, and no outside crowds showed that men within felt that yictory was theirs. On the contrary, every surrounding manifested defeat, and it was plain from a giance ai the headquarters that not only was something wrong, but that even ruin was impending. And this was especially so for the reagon that ths jight- | heads who delight in disporting themselves in front of democratic headquarteis were yery much down im tae mouth, and so far from feeling as if they were @ serene state of mind, felt that, because their day was over, tuey should hide themselves in obscure ba‘rooms, It was won- dertul what a change had come over the highfyers 01 ihe vammany sung sascl!!tea a6 daring the day, the recurns began to come i 7hosé Wie had been hovering around the netgubornood whe eaiy or the Tammany Nesaquarters ii oon i voward evening a8 the fuller returns were announced, slink! away as 80 many scalded crows, who, without their feath- ers, looked ja their lives as of shori duration. - did not have ‘at any part of the day even the remotest show of ‘liveliness or of victory; did noteven put im an ap} ce Of a fight, and the result was that mee fe passers-by oxcogi- tated in dejected mental perturbation a8 to the Btate of things as they were, a3 they are-and as they are likely to be. OBSEQUIES AT THE ORIENTAL CLUB, At the Oricntal Club on East Broadway, the Seventh ward headquarters of Tweed and Shand- ley, preparations were made for a rejoicing in the event of the success of the Tammany ticket. A reporter spent the entire evening there, and up to midnight none of the leading lights of tnis ele?” club had put in an appearance, yet there wine ty of the “boys” about, inclu routed the leading thirteenth Saal wanaae a the Committee of Seventy, *.q the ary wit of the club; Mr, Stewart, the [cnial brother of the Oriental Club humorist; the folly Carrahan, who can match any boyof hid age in teliing a story with a moral in 145 THE SWEET IRISH SONGSTER OLIVER, ‘the big-hearted Captain Conlan, General Myers, the thinker, who rarely speaks; Dr. Mattis, of the iero- cious mustache, who reminds one of a yacht ron- ning wing-and-wing, when he is not absorbed in his favorite chess contests, and many less noted poltticians, All seemed to be quite sanguine of tne success of heir favorites early in the evening, but as the fit- ting hours passed and later and more reliabie news ‘was received there was a visible abatement of the enthusiasm, and the boys deciared good-humorediy that it was TIME TO BEND FOR A CORONER. One suggested a wake, and Oliver was selected as master of ceremonies. Gregg, the Court House car- ter, assisted a8 aide-decamp, and the wake of ie Tammany corpse began. Oliver plied his fingers at the piano, and sang @ number of humorous and sentimental songs, including “ERIN 18 MY HOME,” “Coming Thi h the Rye,” &c. Colonel Stewart gave “John Anderson, My Jo, John,” and at mid- night the wake closed witn ‘Home, Sweei Home,”’ and the boys wi ther way home, declaring that even if ED SHANDLEY WAS DEFRATED, his record was such that he coula appear as a can- didate at any time witnout dishonor. THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB. About a score of members of no particular note gathered to reaa the despatches of returns, wich were sent by telegraph direct to the club rooms, Horace Greeley looked in there for a few minutes in the early part of the evening. General Jackson, Aldermanic candidate, remained there a couple of hours. But there wasno enthusiasm, no meeting, no speechmaking and very little interest at all in the result. The majority of the members were at THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, where the returns were being received and read off every minute, and where considerable enthusiasm was manifested. General Burnside, A. B, Cornell, isaac H. Batley, William Orton, John A. Griawold, Marshall B. Blake, A. H. Laflin, Wi!liam A. Darling, Rantz Van Valkenburgh ond others were in the State Republican Committee room tn the hotel, where returns were also received, but rather slowly. The enthusiasm among them was at a low ebb. Not so, however, in the barroom of the hotel, where despatches from all parts of the city apd State were read off for the entertainment of the muititnae, who applauded heartily whenever a striking majority for the republican or reform can- didates was announced, Auburn, which gave the repubitcans 800 majority—200 more than tney had ever had—was loudly applauded. When the an- nouncement was made that the Sixth ward had given Barrett a majority of 3,400 over Ledwith it Was greeted with tremendous applause. A despatch from the interior of the State, which said that the republicans had carried the Stave by avont 50,000 majority was similarly greeted, and great iaughter ensued when it was deciared that James O'srien's election aistrict had given Led wiih but eleven votes. “He has stood nobly by us,” said the republican committee men. ‘What could we have done on the east side, without him. Ledwith has becn knocked higher than a kite ond Tammany is gone tothe dogs.” The crowds remained in the hotel unul after eleven P. M.

Atthe Andrew Jackson Club rooms the excite- ment was intense after sunset, and expectancy ran high as to the resuit of the poli in the other dis- tricts, for all anxtety had subsided in the Eighteenth Ward, the electors and friends of 0’ Brien being con- fident of the SUCCESS OF THEIR FAVORITE. The news of Sweeny’s resignation—which 9 HERALD reporter was the first to convey to the partisans of the fortunate opponent of the Tammany candidate for Assembly in the Twenty-first ward—created CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT, and the intimation that the reform ticket was going ahead was received with unrestrained applause. Everybody was enthusi- astic, and each man present seemed to think it an imperative duty to invite his neighbor to partake of altbation. Mr. L. O’Brien, father of the ex-Sheriff, and John, the successful candidate's brother, were Present, as were also Messrs. O'Reilly, J. T. McCanill, Gorry, the genial steward of tho club; Herman Koehler, David Koehler, Cassidy, Boese, ex-Clerk of the Board of Education; Robert B. Nooney and “Count? Cassidy. All these gen- Uemen felt it incumbent upon them to eulogize the ENERGY AND ASSIDUITY displayed by Captain Augustine Vostello and Mr. Thomas Feely, whose earnest labors have chiefly conduced to the success of the immortal Jimmy in the Eighteenth ward. As trom time to time despatches arrived an- nouncing the stare of the polls in the various ap- proximate districis enthusiasm increased and loud- voiced denunciations of the Ring mingled with Sweet congratulations upon victory gained. Some there were present who could hirdly credit the reports that the almighty -‘Boss’' was having a hard fight, that the Thunderbolt had succumbed to a more respectable but less violent and rowdy competitor for Senatorial honors, that Harry Genet had been beaten by Tiemann, and that Teutonic Sigel had Une the back-wash to Shandley, ‘That Tammany, hitherto considered invincible, was PLAYED OUT, a, could hardly be conceived, even by those who had worked hardest to overthrow the or- ganization; such luck was, lixe the golden shower which at Jove wooed Diana, overwhelming—too ri to be considered Teal—until wel!-auihenticatad aus Were issued, and then he Joy of ail present knew no restraint. ‘The well- "| cated, but as dischar, NKW YURK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1871.—TRIPLE SHEET. there was evening will be remembered long.

OF PUBLIC OPINION. Public opinion, as expressed in front of the va- rious downtown liquor bars at the close of the polls yesterday evening, was instractive as well as amus- ing to those who had neither won nor lost indiviau- ally by the result of the canvass. Nothing was talked of but the great rout of the Tammany forces, horse, foot and artillery. “WHERE'S TWEED NOW?” asked one sore-headed reformer, triumphantly. “Wnere’s Tweed now? ‘Tis full time for that vul- garthief to geta fall. He thought he owned all New York, but I guess he thinks different to-night. Tell you what it 1s, if that fellow was allowed to go on as he used to we'd ail have to follow Horace Greeley’s advice to the poor devil who couldn’t pay his fare over to Jersey—‘Ciear out, and go West and buy afarm.’” “Oh, now, you never mind Tweed,’ replies a chronic dependent on the bounty of the ex- Boas; “he’s all right, you bet. By God, they couldn’t beat him, not much. Bet you $50 Tweed got 16,000 ma- jority in his district to-uay.” “Tf he has,” was the answer, ‘you can take your | oath he got it THE SAME WAY HE GOT HIS MONEY— he stole it. But he couldn’t even do that if the Com- mittee of Seventy were half as smart as they pre- tend to be.” “How is that?” asked another bystander. “Well, you see, they concentrated all thelr force on the uptown districts and gave up all hope of winning the lower wards of the city. With all their pretensions, it is very plain they didn’t know the temper of the people. They had no hope of beating Tweod, and they left O'Donovan Rossa and Tony Miller to fight without any help, and have their bailots stolon and chacked into the stove, If they had given @ fair share of their attention to this dis- trict, I believe, by God, Tweed would be 43 LOW AS BRADLEY TO-NIGuT,” “Oh, well, is don’> much matter now anyhow,” says another. ‘Tweed’s power is broken, aud sois ul filled reception room and the club room above it rang with cheery SHOUTS OF APPLAUS: until the portraits of the great piaohars, which still retain place against the walls, quivered and shook as though they seemed to know their position was an unstable one; rson they represented deserved ing higher ve Peeneeel yee, Ly pe grand salle of the club Bot very iGuDge, sol air was Occupied b; some energetic workers in benel! of sciliua O'BRIEN AND REFORM; thoroughly wearied by arduous toil,” boa-constrictors to Fepletione deme 4 loubdtless dreaming of future aldermanic honors won by them- selves, utterly oblivious to the fact that aswarm of drones were bovering around their hive and homing platitudes desutute of both sense and wit, The noisiest and most idiotic man of the asser biage was a certain person who, fartoothicks .« ned to take umbrage at palpabie expressions __s«in- tempt, endeavored to make every one th’ = of con- A WIT OF THE FIRST WAT" | be was and succeeded in convincing ever =m, on egregious fool in » .oody that he was ebriety. ‘ms man, who ~ state of semi- nomen of Fitzgih . rejoices in the cog- voons, once ran for ~ectors are to be congratulated «0 defeating him.

Ever since the completion of the police telegraphic lunes tnroughout the city the Police Headquarters have on election nights been the contre of attrac- tion to the -leaders of all the parties in the pending politcal contests. Last night, however, the faces that had been accustomed to GLEAM WITH EXUBERANT SATISFACTION over the shoulders of the emphatic Kennedy as he announced the returns were not visible in the room occupied by Superintendent Kelso, nor were they perceivable even among the motley crowd outside. The leaaers of the couorts of Tammany had read their doom even before the ligntning's spark could declare it; and with the doors of Tammany Hall closed and every other Tammany meeting place de- serted, NOT EVEN THE NOSE OF A TAMMANY MAGNATE could be seen against a pane of glass in the Police Commissioner's halls, ‘There were two distinct and, perhaps, equally effective reasons for their absence, The first we have noted in their fore- knowledge of their dire defeat, and the second lay 1m the fact that for some weeks the Tammany Mmagnates have bad no special desire for meetin; even & patroiman, much less the Superintendent o! the force, WITHIN EASY REACH OF THE CELLS.

Benjamin Wood, who was also present, and as the returns from the ejection districts were declared they consulted him as to the eect of each upon the general resuit, These were the ouly occasions on ‘which there were AUDIBLE EXPRESSIONS OF JOY OR SORROW. ‘The reformers, When Mr. Wood would declare the returns much more favorable to their cause than had been aaticipated, would gather up their shoul- = puif out their cheeks and induige in a silent smile, Standing back from these joycus ones, and with A PAINFULLY FUNEREAL ASPECT saddening their once jolly faces, were Judge Dow- Jing, Dougias Taylor, Harry reiter andGus Cardozo. It was remarked that not a single one of these last- namea gentlemen, at any tume during the entire evening, asked Mr. Wood what he thougit of tne returns. Lost in sorrowful contemplation of their political future, they seemed noi to desire auy additional information; they seemed not only to know, but also to keenly feel it all.

Groups upon groups, from the chilling, nipping air, crowded into their corridors and barrooms early in the evening, and awaited the result of the day’s great contest with anxiety. Brawny mechanics, with their work-stained clothes and hands hardened with toll, mingled freely with natty clerks and merchants in broad- cloth and orange kids, all of whom in the best possible humor discussed the prospect ‘with animation. Que or more of these piaces of re- sort, well known as velng frequented by the sterling portion ofthe community, were packed to an extent that was uncomiortable, but there were no com- plaints, and every one of the vast crowds received with a furor of enthusiasm the scattering returns that tne rule or ruin party had met that fate which every member of the party deserved. In those hotels were the representatives of Tam- many are wont to congregate there was an utter absence of ‘cantankerous jubilation,” and what few of the diamond brigade showed themselves wore wrinkles of anxiety upon their rubicund countenances, and when the announce. ment of the victory for right and honesty was made, lo! there ascended to the ceilings of brilliantly lighted rooms such a wail as has not been heard in any land since the hosts of Pharoah were 80 over- whelmingly swamped in the Red Sea, At an carly hour of the evening @ vast assemblage of the respectable classes of sociely congregated in the halis and spacious saioon of ‘ THE FIFTH AVENUB, who commented upon the canvass in undertones, but the faces of all beamed with confidence that was periodically heightened as vhe clicking machine tn the rear of the spacious apartment told of the suc- cess of the party that mean to make the Empire City hereafter not a reproach and a byword among the nations of the earth, but @ place synonymous with political virtue among 1s leadors, The first returné were received with all the dig- nity that such gatherings would listen to @ pleasaat anno mcement; bus as night wore on and tue majorities were rolled up for tueir favorive can- didates, and it was assured, they were elected beyond perad venture, the potel became @ biaze of glory and uproarious over the cheering nows, A gentieman well known ia — public iife officiated as presiding officer of the gathering, and, sta- Uoning himself im & convenient position, addenea the hearts cf the constantly changing crowds with his announcements, No room was pver so packed belore, and a8 porhops of the fied tones and grandiloquent style, he assured them ‘that the city would “light mit sigei”’ for the coming two years, a yell went up tnat made the old Astor shake to its foundations, THE EAST SIDE BY GASLICHT. The returns from the blotters of all the police stations in the city as given below show tha: arrests were less in number than those reported upon almost any other day during the year. No important cases came withim the notice of the police, and the only Drigoners taken were brought in on charges of iliegal voting, disorderly conduct and drunkenness, with two or three trivial exceptions. This augurs well for the reign of the reformers. In every station house in the upper and thickly settled portions of ‘the city were DENSE CROWDS CONGREGATED to hear the retarns irom the polling places. These crowds, instead of comprising all the worst roughs im each ward, were made ap of honest and sober la- boring men, Throughout the entire city the reported victory of the reform ticket was circulated and won from the workingmen and others assembied un- mistakabie signs of approval, though they were given im & decent and orderly way. O’Brien was lustily cheered for in the streets throughout the Seventh senatorial district, Inthe Eighty-sixto street police station a small knot of men were assemoled, but the eleciion re- turns were meagre, and Captain Clinchy reported only one arrest—that of au imtoxicated individual, whose name was not taken. At the Fifty-nintn street station house a large crowd was congregated, both in the interior and upon the pavement outside, awaiting the latest news of the election. Tne only case of importance im this precinct was that of a man named John Sione, an Erglishman, forty-eight years of age, who entered @ liquor store kept by William O’Brien, at 1,048 Third avenue, at about half-past seven o'clock ht, and almost instantly fell upon tne floor eka tnscnsible i On examuauion by the urgeon, Wi was at once called, it found tnat the base ‘of Skat fractured, api his skal was 4 from the indications the surgeon gave an opinion that the man must ate. ‘Bis vision was ‘‘cross-eyed,”’ and there was a fow ‘of biood from nis ears, While he was neatly puise- less, A curious feature of the matter, then for the first time noti Was that his clothing was soaked ‘with water, as it he bad been in the river.

George Oarr was ARRESTED FOR FELONIOUS ASSAULT and placed in a cell, and Michael Carran was com- mitted for breaking in the windows of a lager beer saloon in Second avenue. At the headquarters of the Broadway squad, in Twenty-ninth street, tne only person found living was a Venerable sergeant, who knew that ihe elec ton was progressing because tt was set down to take place in the order book, but he hadn’t seen a soul, he said, all day long. ‘At the station house of the Eighteentn precinct, in Twenty-second street, the arrest, at about jour o'clock, of two duellists was reported. A man known as Piper Burns and another engaged in a fight in Sixtecnth street, near avenue B, and each drew a revolver. They fired four shots, when Roundsman Switt, of the Broadway relief wad, arrived with six officers and called time, The parties were at once arrested, conveyed to the station house, and locked up in separate cells to keep them trom tearing exch other's eves out. ‘they considered themselves separately sold, and each snowed a slight scratch ou the hand which they ciaimed to be pistol shot wounds, thus gg fd to seit the policemen.

At te Fourteenth precinct station house Captain Walsh reports only one arrest, that of George Khad- gan, an irishman, who at noon votea under the name of Willian Kagan, 95 Houston street. He was committed in default of $500 ball.
