Scenes and Incidents at the Polls. In the First Ward, f which there wore nine elec‘ton districts; the feature of chief interest was the contest for the Assembly between Heaty and Muller, During the earlier portion of the day tuere was very little ex- cltement at any of the polling places, and during the same time the chief interest lay with @ DONOVAN ROSEA AND TWEED for the Senatorshi~, a2 source of mortlfication ta Mr, Ressa’s friends was the absence of his tickets from the polling places until after eight o'clock. Whea they did arriva, however, his friends @id their vest, thoagh in whe main it ‘was clear that they lackod the experionce of Tweed’s henchmen, aod were less familiar with the distingaished eitizeas who form the mass of the voters of the wara, Ledwith seemed to be almost entirely WITHOUT FRIENDS, either on the street or at the ballot boxes. Soen afterward the interest centred almost en- tirely upon Healy, the retorm candidate, and Maller, the German candidate, for the Assembly; and, con- trary to what astranger to the ward would have expected, the more numerous and energetic of MULLER'S FRIENDS WERE IRISHMEN. Early in the day one of the watchers charged Michael J. Cullcn, aa inspector in tho Elghth dis- trict, with slipping « ballot up his sleeve in- stead ef into the box, and with soon afterwards taking it out and tearing it in pieees, This created some excitement, but a care‘ul examination fail- Ing te atscover any pieces of ballots the voting wend on again, Soon afterwards James Byrnes, President of Inspectors im tne Seveath district, was charged with having THROWN AWAY THE BALLOTS OF VOTERS, and thore was another excifement there fora few moments. ‘The fact, however, as declared by Mr. Byrnes, the otuer inspectors, officers and citizens who were looking on, was that a single ballot fell through an openin, in the ornamental tronwork which Dele the boxes in their sect egg that as Soon as discovered 1¢ was picked up by the custo to turow the site their respect.ve bo. whue the inspectors ascertain whether or no the naue and residence ge by the voter are i accordance with the regis- .

The outside crowd, after ‘his deciaration nad been made, gave THREB YELLING O4E RS FOR MULLER, and then retired, let us hope, to supper and bed. The entire vote im thus distrier, notwithstanding the excivement, ieil forty voies suort of the registered number.

Tea the Scventh Ward. In this ward our reporter had up te noon almost despaired of @ single item of interest, although following in the wake of a friend of the “Boss,” and his right bewer in this ward, as he marched his grand round from poil to poll, and everywhere re- ceived from his faithful sentinel the welcome grect- jog that the ‘Boss’ is safe and “Tammany” is doing well, Towards evening there wus more ex- j citement, and at the Fifteenth district a very serious | aiMiculty occurred, which may Bave no litue effect in determining the question of Ar. Tweed’s right to his seas in the Senate, It soems that Mr. Cluyes (an | inspector) was commissioned as challenger on the part of the repuplican ana reiorm parties; that lots down oppo- | among the Inspectors of Kiection was a detective officer, Who 1s #i80 an oificer of one of the Courts and having acted as inspecior during the rezisira- tion, handed over his commission to @ Mr. George Wiliett and assumed hia functions under the poiice authority during the day of elecuon. Mr. Cioyes prote-ted against tuis change, and when, during the yoting, Jeremian Donohus, of 365 Madison street, and Berlin Bery, of 265 Madison street, at- tempted to voie illegally, Mr. Cloyes challenged their Votes, ‘This was the signal for @ disturbance, and whe democratic inspector ORDERED THE POLLS TO BR CLEARED, and at the same time that Mr. Cloyes snould be ejected with tue others, aguiast the protest of she republican inspector. Mr. Cloyes states that he was taken by Policeman Maher to coroer ol Scammel and Madison streets, When he Was set upon and beaten, aud that, having called in vain for the arrest of his | assailants, be drew his revoiver and protected him- | self. Mr, Cloyes afterwards appearea at the poll, but refused to have thing juriher to do with the election. At this di eb everything seemed to be in the hands ef Tammany, ana during one visit of our reporter ever the republican inspecior had ne to diuner and to vote, leaving his democratic rothers torun the machine in bis absence, bir, Cloyes seems very earnest in ius determination to carry his charge of Iraud to the Legisiature, and | poaitively declined to appear even as & witness to Counting the votes.

Then the strength of the Tweed organizatiun begin to show itself, Those rascals who were supposed to be Watching for O'Vouovan Rossa in many instances feceived money from Twved's arents and threw Rossa’s ballots away or had them burned in the erogshops which were convenient and whose pro were all in the Twee! luterest.

The polis were opened in the Eighth and Ninth wards promptly at the hour named, and with the exception of two polling clerks in the latter ward The various factions 1n the Eighth ward as early as hall-past 51x were as active as beavers hurrying in voters. The Allen and his reform crowd were especially so, and worked caergelically todamage Norton’s majority. In the lower end of the wara, where the colored men are regaicd, 1b interest- ing study to witness efforts of the white leaders to infiueace them, and fer one day, at least, there was periect equality before the law.

Notacase of repeating, iliegal voting or tn- dignity to the colored: men was reported, the eniranchised were as well behaved us the whites, White Ledwith’s name was on the Tammany geo- eral ticket a large number scratched it, and in some instances TAMMANY VOTERS WERE 80 INDIGNANT on finding i on ine ballot that they cursed Tam. many ana votcd the retorm ticket straight, Jn the Ninth ward unusual quietude reigned throughout the day, and no violence came under ihe notice of the police, Here the old citizens of the ward, whe in previous contests left the voting to the | young men, turned ont in iorce. One man was ar- resied in this wara for illegal voting and sent to detierson Market Court. It is very certain that in neither of the wards was there much repeating or Megal vowng, owing to the watchiuiness of the chatiengers aid the fear of the penalties. | Throughout the district during the nignt posters caricaturing i weed and Shandiey were biiled upon the fences and walis, They represented Tweed and Shanaley as Siamese twins, and over their heads were the woras— Qeeecerrerecercrncr nest rere PPORO IO IE LORE LO REIROD LE 2 HONEST way ‘82 TWINS o TAMMANY HALL. j “gay, Shandley, we're uoodwinking the reformers, i wet Whatare they goin’ to do about it /”” You know bow it is yoursel/, Boas; but those d—d 8 found ine in bad company and the rd i's to pi Revrerocs nv rnst essence te renpetere rene st eberee pothh In all parts of the district reformers and repubil- cans swapped olf voles, 80 as to circumvent Tam- mauy if possibie.

Very Sew of Ledwith’s tickets could be foumd in either of these wards, In the Thirtcemh Ward. In this ward tie utmost quietude prevailed dur- ing the entire morning, and before ten o'clock fully one-third of the vote was polled; and until the af- ternoon there was no polling district whicl the most Umid ladies could not pass without fear of molestas ton, and almost without knowing that it was any more than ordivaty business day. Toward noon, however, the effects of King Alcohol began to assert thelr supremacy over the distinguishea pa- trots of this time-honored denizen of Tam- many, and soon there became visible the manifestations of fretiulness on the part of the anterrified, which was in every instance promptly checked by the prompt and firm intervention of the Police under Vaptain Petty, on the one hand, and the conelliatory character of the provavie result Upon the other; aud the closing hours of the day developed im the voting precincts nearest to the Seventh ward and the river, where the ‘iongshore- bad been at work in resard to tue ticket of Led- waa 1or O14 Supreme Court, The Tam- many Loxes Uckets ior Siuadiey and Tweea men are in the ascendancy, unmistakanle mgas of dissatisiacuon on the part of many ‘ bruisers’ with the auietude of the day, and the Ucket was 62.6. Tm the Nineteenth and Twelfth Wards. There has rarely been 8 municipal elecuon during which the upper part of our island has neem more profoundly quiet than it was yesterday in the Nine- veenth and Tweifth wards, Of course there were oc- casional scenes of lively bustie about tae bovths; butno serious .disturbances—nothiug, In fact, that the lveliost imagination coud by any pos- sibility magnify into a _ respectable skir- mish, A gang of election rounders from tue lower warus of the city infripged opon the boundaries of the Nineteeath ward and disporied briedy in 4u effort to carry away some election boo.hs with a view to capturing the tckets of the relorm cundiaates, but the police, under: Caprain Gunner, speedily put them to figut. Ia this nard three men were arrested, charged wita illegal vot ing, but on being taken before Justice Coulter they were speedily restored to liberty, Aside from tis there were only eight arrests, in all of which bad rum was the exciting cause. At the Twenty-fourth district Mrs. McKiuley presented herself as @ voter. Sue had previously applied ior registration, Her name Was retaino: D. the republican registers on their list, but scratcne of the list of the Tammany registry. There was Some discussion as to allowing her to vot2, but the result was denying her the privilege of exercising tne peculiarly masculine prerogative. In the ‘twollth ward toere was no approach to a aisturd- ance or sensation, The whole story Of the day's ae here is conclusively told {n the fact that up to the time of closing the polis there had been only four arrests in the ward, aad those .or being drunk and disorder.y. Ia the Eighteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-socond Wards. - “All quiet, air, all quiet,” was the invariable and Monotonous reply which the HERALD’s representa- tive reoelved throughout vhe long day wherever he went, Turbulence and disorder, it wae predicted, would mark the scenes at the various polling places in those sections where Greek was to meet Greek in A TOUGH TOG OF WAB. Bets were even offered yesterday morning that at least four homicides would take place before the closing of the polls in the Seventh Senatorial dis- trict, where Jobo J. Bradiey desperately, but vainly, struggled for the very existence of Tammany Hall against the conquering O’Brien; but, so -far from blood-red streets and sidewalks strewn with corpses, a8 was expected, not a single serious affray took place in the whole district, Tho HeRaLp man, flying around the Eighteenth, Twentieth, Twenty- first and Twenty-second ward, sought in vain for the materials for sensation, and he was about to enter the brief chronicle “NO CASUALTIES,” when, about four o'clock in the afternoon, he came upon a few drops of fresh-drawn blood upon the sidewale, at the corner of Seventh avenne and Thirtieth street. A small crowd had gathered round the door of the neighboring ginmill, which the re- porter eniered. The mill was in full blast. About ‘thirty hard-looking cases were busily engaged at the counter, pouring the liquid damnation ite them at a frightful rate, and pledg- ing the success of thelr favorites. In ene corner of the room stood a decent-looking little red- hatred man, with his head under the tap, sponging away the blood from an ugly gash in his forehead. He refused to give his name, He had been stand- ing outside on the corner, expressing himself rather candidly on the merits of one of the candidates, when ke was KNOCKED DOWN AND KICKED 1n the forehead by some .vizorous friend of the aspir- ing patriots, whose name also did not transpire, and who left the scene unarrested immediately after his mild performance. Notwiihstanding the existerice of the well-known statute in that case made and provided, it may be safely asserted that scarcely a single barroom or drinking shop suspended business in that district during the voting hours of yesterday; at least, the reporter could find no establishment of that descrip- tion whose proprictor complied with the law. One or two of the shutters were up Jn each case and the front door was decently closea wherever a side doer was available, otherwise even the front door ‘‘stooa lightly on the latch” or was partially open, so (hat AN INVITING GLIMPSR could be had of the busy barkeeper aud his charm- ing rows of bottles, Saloon keepers evinced not the sligutest fear of the police, who knew well that the little game was going on under their very noses, This is no figure of speech, for the reporter on more than one occasion found a policeman Ina barroom with is nose in a giass that contained some liquid of &@ most suspicious color and favor. In one instance—in the ncighborhoud of Eightecath street and First avenue—a bibulous supporter of the great Tammany smasher voclierously invited “the crowd’? around the poiling booth to “smile” on O’Brien. About forty ferocious-looking mouths responded to the cail, and the whole gang rushed into ® con- venient rumhole, whence 1 afew moments three deafening cheers for O'Brien came out apon the cold air, Two policemen who were present laughed qulie heartily asa responsive echo, BRADLEY GOING DOWN, Turning from this scene the reporter was encoun- tered by # dirty-looking loafer, with a flusued face and a druaken leer, who asked, “Come, sir, won't you vote for Bradley and ovia Tammany? Here you are, sir, the full regular ticket, Damn his sowl”—tae reporter had turned to lea’ amn his sowl! he's goin’ to vote wia O'Brien like all the rist of em.” At the next polling place the reporter met an ac- tive citizen with both hands full of ballots, “How is the election golog?”’ asked the HgnaLD man. “As right as the mall,” was the answer; “we are weeping everything before us,” “Yes, but who are ‘us’ ? “Why, O’Brien*s b’hoys; who else f” “go Jimmy 1 polling & big vote, is he?” “See here; 8’ help me God, its the simple truth, he has ten votes to one of Braaley’s in this district’? ‘Tue reporter turnea to a LUGUBRIOUS PATRIOT who had charge of the Tammany box and asked how tue poliing Was going, “TO teil I hg the trath, sir,’’ replied the Tammany ballot-noider, who, strange to say, appeared to be & decent, sensible inau—“to tell you novhing but the truth, sir, the O’Brien ticket is going anead very fast. ‘There never was an election in my memory Uke this, The people seem to be going back on old Tammany coinplotely.”” “How about Ledwith and Shandiey “phand.ey, 1 think, 18 leading Sigel a little, but Ledwith is raking no show at all.” And #0 i¢ was all througa the Khteenth ward.
