With the exception of a murder in the Twenty- rst ward the election yesterday passed off very quietly. The returns show that a vote was polied far exceeding tne average of recent years. This is AD iMdivation that the electors were in earnest, and that the quietude of the day was not trace- Bble to imdifference to the result of the con- test, The reports, as given below from the Assembly districts, especially the uptown districts, are very encouraging to those citizens who have hitherto lamented that it is only on great occasions that what is known as “the silent Vote” can be brought to tne polls, This vote evi- dently came out in its full strength, and to this fact ig to some extent traceable the very large majority that General Jones has obtained. The closing of the liquor stores and the legal holi- Gay accomplished two results—it diminished drunkenness and it gave an opportunity for the Mercantile and professional community to attend to the affairs of the etection. The enthusiasm of the voters was concentrated on the contest for the Registership. Throughout the day the inquiry was, ‘How ts Jones polling?” and, with the excep- tion of a few of the downtown districts, the reply ‘Was that he was doing well and would be proba- ably elected. ‘This went through the city likea teiegram, and to make it a certainty, if possible, men Who seldom go to the polls, voted at once on either the repubilcan or democratic ticket, “scratching,” if they voted the latter, ior Jones, This has had the effect of giving the Registership to Jones by about 10,000 majority. With this ex- ception the Tammany ticket has been substan- tally elected. Tilden’s majority in the city at the time of going to press was estimated at about 80,000, Wickham has polled a very heavy vote,aud Ottendorfer a much larger vote than was ex- pecied, though he is unquestionably third in the race. Tne Fifth Congressional district was con- siderably, but quietiy, excited in consequence of the canaidature of three aspirants for Congress4 St nearly all the polling places in the downtown wards Hogan was the favorite, but it is doubt fal tf he is elected, inasmuch as Meade has polled a very large vote. In the evening tue excitement in the city culminated, and from seven O'clock to the midnight hour every locality where bulletins were exhibited was thronged by crowds Of anxious jookers-on that ‘surpassed in numbers the night of the Presidential election, Tammany Bali was very triumptanr, and tnere was the old- timed manifestations of speechifying, cheerlug and endless pyrotechnic displuys. SCENES AT THE POLLING PLACES. First Assembly District. This district, wich ts very thickly populated na comprises the islands in the harbor, togetner mith the First, Second, Third and Fiith wards, yaa yesterday in a periect turmoil of excitement, ywing to the fact that the residence of Juage Mogan, the candidate for Uongress in the Fifth Congressional district, is in Morris street, and much of the result in Assembly work would, of course, turm on the success or defeat of Hogan. The candidates in tis district running for election to the Assemoiy were Col. onel Mike burns, republican, and a Weigher in the Custom House, Nicholas Muller, a German, and quite popular, and Terence Dutty, Who keeps « jiquor store in the Filth ward. Hayes did pot run anything like as well as Jones, and Ho , it Was believed at noon, was consequenuly ahead Of Meade. Still the “machine,” as the work+ ers term the Tammany organization, did very bard Work and brougut out every vote, as it were, by the nape oi the neck. Muiler potied a iarge vote aud got @ good many votes that belonged to Otten- dorier. Dutty was working quite actively for Ho- an, and the iormer stated in the aiternoon that e believed that Hogan was elected. The jecling Was so bitter and intense that im some cases the father of a tamily would vote for Hogan while the yon worked ior Meade and the “machine.” Second Assembly District. ‘This district comprises the Fourth and the lower part of the Sixtn wards, and the candidates were Charles Zolier, republican; William P. Kirk, Tam- many, and Tuomas J’, Wild, independent. In this district Dennis Burns, an old supporter of Bren- man’s was scratched badly for Civili Justice by the Tammany men. Prominent leaders in the district, eS as Morgan Jones, were working for Hayes jor gister, and, iu fact, Hayes did better jo the §=Sixth ward than im any down- sown ward. Late in the aiternoon it was conceded by republicans that Kirk Was elected to the Agsembiy. ‘The conduct of the Dnited States marshals, birea wt $0 for election duty, Was scaudalous in the extreme, as they gudeavored in many o1 the districts to intimi- fate voters, and in oue instance @ voter in the fuird ward was arrested when he atvempted to vote, and was brought before the republican can- Sonus AseemnDiy, who nee wet ine par- |, aba proceeded gravely to im ior break- (ng an Election law. ponieacans Third Asseanbly District. ‘This district ts composed of the upper part of the Sixth ward and te entire Fourteenth ward snd is Hayes’ own district, He did not do as well as might have been expected, but Meade made @ good fight here aud it was said that he would bave ® Majority in the Vnird Assembiy district, and it Was stated that Brogan, tne Tammany candidate for Assembly, was certain of election.

Shis Assembly district consists of the entire veventh ward and was formerly the residence and wuremabold of the Tweed body guard Avdows Reilly and MacNamara were the candidates As y, and it was noticed that the Twe sy mpachiz arly iu every case seratched th Taminany Ass rly candidate and voted jor Dix iustead of Tilden. A good deal of money was spent in this dis sterday, but nothing in culNparison With the Unmenuse Sums squandered by tue old masters of the diswict. Fifth Assembly District. ‘This district comprises the Bighth and part of the Ninth and Pifteent: Wards, and as it is ar- ranged is adoubtiu) district to run in, Austin Leake, the repubiicau candidate, was working » Robinson, who Tammany candidate, anc by Is: Was running as a sort of 4 Mexican guerilla in interest of the republican candidate, This is Nor ton’s old district, aud he worked, together with bis iriends, against the Tammany candidate might and main. The negroes, Who are in large Dum- ders in this district, voced for Austin Leake with singular enthusiasm. Sixth Assembly District. The Thirteenth ward forms the Sixth Assembly district, and is densely popujated by Germans, who were voting for Ottendorler with great zeal. Many of the South Germans, who are strong Catholics, voted against Ottendorfer on the ground that his paper had thrown itseli into the arms of Bismarck and had at- tacked their faith, The republican can- didate was a German named Sinzer, and NEW YORE HERALD, the | he did not get a3 many votes as was expected, | waile the Tammany candicate, Tim Campbell, found bundreds to support lim, Matthew Potter Was Creamer’s candidate and did well during the early hours of tbe day, bué jell om badly during the afternoon. There was a s{rong vote polled jor Wickham i ‘this district, but Hayes jell bebind General Jones to a large degree in the Thirteenth ward. Eighth Assembly District. Tois district is composed of the Tenth and part e@f the Eleventh and Seventeenth wards. It 13 bounded by the Bowery, Stanton streer, Chuton street, Houston street, Norfolk street and Divis- fon street, The majority of the voters are Ger- man, and the election yesterday passed off in an exceedingly quiet and orderly manner. Peace and order were the particular traits of the coutest in this quarter of the city. When the Teutonic ele- Ment is engaged in a political contest such as yes- terday there ts not the sligitest disturbance to mur the harmouy of the proceedings. George A. Staul was the Tammany nominee ior Assembly, S. B. Smith the repubican, with John Theis: run- ning on the independent ticket. Part of the Sixth aud Seventa Congressional districts are empraced in those localities, Colouel Charles S, Speucer being | the republican nomiwee in tie Seventh and & Ss. Cox in the Sixtn, A large numver of Germans de- posited their bailots during the day for Spencer, while it seemed to be @ clear walk over for Vox. Minth Assembly District. The polling went on very quietly in this district, The majority of the voters here are of a phleg- Matic disposition, and when they had deposited their ballots they went home or to do their work, leaving the polling places to the care of a few of their enthusiastic and public-spirited fellow citl- wens. At several of the polls only a policeman and two or three citizens loitered about in tne afternooa, and but for the extra presence of chil- dren appealing for discarded allots, there would bave been no indication of the progress oi an election, The district is conservative and known as the “American section.” The voting varies very little irom year to year, as each democrat or republican in the Ninth usually holds strongly to his party without much regard to arguments. Yesterday, however, there was consiaerabie scratching of the tickets. Numbers ol democrats repiaced the name of Hayes with that of Jones for Register, and many republicans substituted the name of Ransom Parker, Jr., the democratic candidate for Assemblyman, for that of William H, Gedney, tne nominee of their party. The Tenth Assembly District. This is also a strong German district, and the WEDN quietade, witn the single exception of the brute: murder committed near the corner of Thirty- second street, in Second avenue, the victim being aman named John McKenna, full particulars of which are given elsewhere, All along Second, Third, Fourth and Sixth avennes, trom Fourteenth £ t to Forveth street, the alles of the different candidates were actively canvassing before tne poilimg booths the merits of them iriends, but generally wito good Bature and ail avoidance of riot and @raukenbess. In these districts a full vote Was polled, the contest between the O’Brien and Tammany {actions being very bitter. Seventeenth Assembly District. AS many candidates as there are leaves in Val- lomorosa contested the fleld for Assembiy in this | district, On these men the mat fight took piace, the balance of the ticket being almost entirely ignored. Hach candidate had his workers out | around the polls doing their level best for their | champions, With all the heated discussions and | political pre‘erences not an angry word was ut- | teres, the campal being conducted in the best | possible humor, This district is located in the | Twenty-second police precinct, in command of Captain Thomas Killalea, who patrened his pre- | cinet during the entire day. Up to the close 0! | the polls hot an arrest for.violating the Election | laws had been made, Everything was very quiet here irom daybreak until dark, Nineteenth Assembly District. ‘The day was very quiet in this district, not even a brawl occurring to break the peace, The great issue in the district was on the candidates for the Assembly, of whom there were three—Hanschell, | Deering and Kapff. Hanschell, the regular Tam- many nominee, polled a very large vote in ihe early | part of the day, surpassing the expectations of his most sanguine iriends. Deering’s vote was also large, but not anything like what was anticipated for him. Ip the lower districts of the assembly district Kapm polled a large vote. It was erly evident that Kapi was the third man im the race ad that the battle wis with Deering and mmschell. At a late hour tie resuit of the Assembly vote was not known, Deering and Hansohell ranning “nip and tuck.” The generat impression, however, was that Hanscneil was elected, owing to tae aver: sion which the laboring men displayed to “bolt- log,” many Who had promised to support Deering voling the regular ticket. At the Deering head- quarters, Prior’s Hall, Grand Boalevard, a great crowd had gathered about eight o’clock, and as | the returns came slowly in loud cheers were given for Deering when the figures were in his Javor. The regular Tammany men also had a grand rally | at their club room on Lawrence street. | Twentieth Assembly District. | In the Twentieth Assembly district the election | passed off so quietly that a stranger in the city | | | would not have known that anything unusual was | citement noticeable was that occasioned by reports events of election passed of yesterday with as | much order and quietness as predominated in the Eighth. The district is bounded by the Bowery, Seventh street, avenue B, Clinton street and Stan- ton street, and includes part of the Seventeenth ward. Ely, dr., was bere of a particulariy lively character, the gallant colonel of the Fifth betug supported by acrowd of German sympathizers. The Assembly fient was betweea Lous ©. Waenner, Tammany condidate; Charies 8. Strong, republican, and Jonn A. Dinkle, independent. Fears were en- tertained that the republican candidate mignt step in and deleat Waebner; bat last year that gentleman received 1,200 majority, and his record as a legisiator had increased nis popularity. Little doubt of bis election was expressed among the pviltictans, No arrests were made in this district up to the time of closing the polls. Eleventh Assembly District. This may be said to be the silk stocking district, inasmuch as it embraces a large portion of Filth, Madison and Fourth avenues. Everything was very quiet here. Captain John McCullough, ofthe fwenty-ninth precinct, nas the main por. tion of this district under his charge. He was around daring the entire day, a8 uiso his ser- geants. Not a single arrest was made here, either for drunkenness or disorderly conduct. Captain McCuilongh states that he never wit- uessed such ap orderly election. Twelfth Assembly District. Old electioneering agents asserted yesterday that the time jor ‘‘fun” had passed away. There Was nothing doing, they contended, and conse- quently matters were extremely dull. Quietness reigned supreme, Throughout the day there was scarcely a call for the interference of the police, and, altogether, the greatest order prevalied, The contestants for the honors at Albavy were Jobu Keenan, aemocrat, and Mr. Joseph chibaid, republican. oth had warm adhe- Tents, but the voting Was Conducted in a Way that must have given satisiaction to both candidates, Tne disirict was noticeably peaceful while the polis were open, and the residents in the vicinity 0! the ditferent booths had reason to feel pleased With the excellent order which prevailed, ‘Thirteenth Assembly District. There were no difMicuities of importance among the voters during the balloting in this district, The usual quanium of “scrimmages,” or, as a policeman called them, “scrapping matches,’ were indulged in by the “free and independent” voters who gathered about the ballot booths, These were suppressed before they had caused more than discolored eyes and elaborated heads, In this district the contest was mainly made upon the choice of Assemblyman. The democratic can- didate, Mr, A. Nelson Beach, was unfamiliar to the democratic “boys,” and they de cided to scravch the regular ticket, They, therefore, in numerous instances not obly voted ior Charlies biackie, nominee, but worked hard for him. The fact that Mr. Beach is the son of a minister, and was com- mended to the church-goimg Voters of the aistrict by several ministers on Sunday last, gave the “boys”? the idea that he ts too moral to fulfil all the Tequirements of alegisiator. “Way,” one of them Said ju scormiui tones to the writer, “what does Beach know about what goes on in the city? he never was out alter eleven o'clock at might in his life, He's too iresn for us.’ Beach was not tne oply Tammany candidate cut by the democrats, Hayes’ name Was crossed from their baliow by very many of them, and that of General Jones in- serted. Fourteenth Assembly District. It might naturally be inferred that in so populous @ part of the city as is embraced in this extensive district au election could not occur without accl- dent or disturbance. But this fact remains, that uo previous occasion of the kind has ever been marked by such quietness and order. The candl- dates for Assembly were Mr. George Henken, republican; Mr. James Daly, democrat, and Mr, Luke F. Vozans, independeut (ormerly Senator). The rowdy @le nent did not manifest iiselfim any noticeable degree, and the aid of the police was rarely invoked. During the day a young German named Max Hain was arrested for illegal voting aud taken to the Essex Market Police Court. default of $1,000 pail he Was comunittied jor further examination. é@ repuolican mbly District. There are twenty-six polling places in this dis- trict, most of them situated in the Twentieth police previnct, besides which Captain Charlies McDonaia had pine More election polis, belonging to the Eleventh and Seventeentu Assembly districts, to attend to. The same report is correct of this locality a8 to order aad decorum, as bot one solitary arrest was made of any males, on account of the eleciion Or otherwise. A jew Grunken women were brought in who constituted them. selves as “repeaters” in barrooms, but this had nothing to do with the poll. In this district the main contest was between William 8, Murray, re- publican, and Thomas Costigan, Tammany Hall democrat, for Assembly. At ve closing of the polis everything Wi quiet ason a Sunday. In this (tne Twentieth inct) all the force was on duty, as well aa thirty-nine additional men irom tue Second aud Fish precincts, Fifteenth Asi The Sixteenth and Highteenth As- sombly Districts. The elections in the Sixteenth and Eighteenth Assembly districts passed of With Ghuseel going on. ‘Ihe west side of the district and in the | vicinity of Fiith avenue the streets were deserted | and wore a Sabbath day look. On the east side, | on Second and Third avenues, where the polling places were as thick as blackberries, more activity | Was noticeable, but as inquiries were made at each one the same stereotyped reply was almost in- | vartably recetved:—“All quiet in this district, We have made no arrests, there hag been no fighting | and no attempts at illegal voting.’ ‘he only ex- Oi riot and murder in the adjoining Assembly dis. trict. At No. 862 Second avenue an enthusiastic young Hibernian attempted to vote in his iather’s | ame, but he wasdetected. As father and son bore the same Christian name he was notarrested, Up tu the time of the closing of the poll the only arrest made was for attempted illegal voting. Daniel B.

In, the Twenty-third ward, which comprises what before annexation was the populous town of Morrisania, the now fully fledged citizens of the metropolis discharged their duties at the polls in an unexceptionably quie. and orderly manner. As it was the first opportunity the people had | had of participating in the choice of New York | municipal oMicials the occasion possessed many | novei features for the newly made denizens of the city. The multiplicity of candidates to be voted for, incinding those for Westchester county, was well calculated to confuse the ruralists, especially the German voting population, watch is by no means inconsiderabie, These had not forgot the —_ lesson taught them during the canv: however. as they, almost toa man, Voted the “liberal democratic ticket,” with Ottendorier jor Mayor and Jones jor Register. Outside of tne Teutonic element the “Jones” stock was above me during the day, and his triends were confident in the belief that he would carry the ward by a respectable majority. As Was expected, N. Holmes O (ell, the democratic Congressional candidate for Westchester county, and Dennis R. Shiel, the nominee of the same party for Assembiyman irom the First district, lied @ heavy vote in the ward. Jonn afen, on the Aldermanic ticket, was alsO generally supported by the Germans. Of late a 4 place has to election in the same been characterizea by such universal decorum and respect for the law, uot @ solitary instance of disorderly conduct, illegal voting or violation of the Election laws having been reported at the Thirty-third precinct police station up to the time the polis were closed. Twenty-fourth Ward. Nothing occurred in the Twenty-fourth ward during the day that any lover of law and order could regret, The liquor dealers having been | notified that they must suspend business, even to the iasteaing of side doors, while the elec- tions were being held, cheerfully com- plied with the requirementa of the statute, aod in so doing many of them surprised themselves a8 well as their neigabors in thus bringing about @ temporary “corner” in alcoholic fluids, a condition of affairs previously unknown in some portions of the ward. Every- thing passed of harmoniously at the polls, all agreeing that, no matter which candidates came out abead, the election had been conducted in a spirit of periect tairness, The Germans enthust- astically sustained Ottendorfer jor Mayor, while immediately around the polls the iriends of Jones, jor Register, outnumbered those of Ha, in the Proportion of almost two to one. to four o'clock in the afternoon not a solitary arrest was si bed blotter of the Thirty-fourth precinct police station. AMONG THE GERMANS. The Germans went very heartily into the con- teat yesterday, hoping, as most of them did, to elect Mr. Oswald Ottendorter, their popular can- didate. Gambrinus, who presides over most Teutonic feativivies, was oiso king yesterday in the Bowery and other German localities, and the health of the “German Mayor’ waa drunk in many @ “giass bier.”” Mr. Ottendorier himself was greeted with demonstration of enthusiasm when- ever he was seen, and seemed to be quite hopeful in regard to the result, However, when the first Anvouncements were made trum the bulletins in the evening the general Ottendorier feeling was somewhat damped and it soon became apparent that the ‘“Deutscber Mayor” was but a figment of the imagination instead of being a leasing Fe re The German committee, beaded skiee, assembied in hrving Hall, and ga a crowd of Germans gathered there to hear the news. As one tch alter the other was opened and Ottendorier’s minority became more and more hopele evident @ ing of disappointment came over our Germen citizens, the iutensity of which showed that their countryman’s election had been became more Irequent, until minority became 60 large that all hope of success was abandoned, | At the Germania Assembiy Kooms and other places o! popular German resort there were lar rowds during the da; Mr. Ottenaorfer’s name w: heartily clieered ai every tion, However, their darling hope, As the evening wore on the | ominous shaking o1 he; and exclamations of “ungam, infant” “Sehr schlecht, sehr schlecht!” | | news of the evening cast also a gloom over these Teutonic assembiages, and our German citizens finally went home Rear tily sorry for Mr.Ottendorier, but cheering londly jor 8 eral Jones, who se: as popular among the Germ: oe among bie own countrymen. that they preferred nim infin aithough they i: ew Genera, Jo man and Gener Sigel # German, 9 ral J geeen weemed to be the only ia | sembly aistrict. | at the time. | this country in 1866, and that his brother gave him | thing ARRESTS FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE ELECTION LAW.

Commissioner Osborn was detailed for official | duty at Brevoort Hal', Filty-toarth street, near ‘Toird avenue, but. as everything went on in that | locality with great order, it was not nevessary to call upon him for the exercise of his judicial ac. | tion. Although some 200 warrants were issued on Saturday by Judge Kilpreth at Essex Market Police Court for the ariest of persons charged with falsely registering, there were but four arrests on these warrants, viz., Edward Muhl- taten, of 127 Forsyth street; Charles R.

AT HEADQUARTERS. From an early hour in the morning the riot in | the Nineteenth ward was the leading subject at the Central Ufice, Election news had completely dropped into insignificance on the arrival of the imformation of the shooung, The appearance of one of the parties, Mr. O’Brien, at beadquarters adaed to the interest im tue matter, and by eleven o'clock many of the principal politicians in the city bad given their opinion of the murder. | It was generally believed that Coroner Woltman had exceeded the privileges of bis office in ad- mitting Coroner Croker and his assoctates to bail, Captain Allaire, too, was censured tor allowing the Coroner to toterfere, as the case had not at the time he acted in it got into bis jurisdiction, Justices Morgan and Kasmire, the Police Commissioners, and @ numcer of prominent political leaders, were assembled tn the office oi Superimtendent Walling, about midday, and almost upapimously expressed the opinion that Coroner Woluman bad made him- self liabie to indictment and removal by the course | be had taken, It seemed to be the opinion of some of the police tes that Captain Ailaire had not pursued the strict line of nts daty, | and was probabiy impressed to deal too lentently | by the influence vf! political partisanship. From What could be gleaned from tue iniormation sent | into the pace: oitice it appeared that On being conveyed to the station house witu hia friends | Coroner Croker sent & _ messenger tor Woltman, who, when | Coroner ar- Tived, took bail for the party. They \mmediately leit the station bouse and could not uiterwards be found. Mr. O’Briep, later in the day, went before a magistrate and made afiduvits against Coroner Croker and the other men who | attacked him. Warrants for their arrest were issued and placed in the hands of Captain Irving and his detectives. They started tor the Twenty- first ward abd remained bunting jor the men tue | greater part of the aiternoon, but without being | able to mod them, During the day persons con- tinued calling at the Cen! Office for particulars of the affair, and jears were entertained what night would bring forth more violence. THE POOL SELLING. Business at the Astor House was stirring yester- day, as pool selling was continued withvut cessa- tion irom ten A. M, until ten P.M. There did not appear to be any scarcity of greenbacks, as Messrs. Underwood and Marsbali had no dim- culty in bringing the speculators together. The first large bet that attracted attention Was $1,000 to $600 on Tilden being elected Governor. The same gentleman then offered to bet $1,000 to $700, but could find no takers. The betting then tarned on majorities, and at 12,000 for Tilden in the Stare the price was about even. Several thousand dollars were invested on that | issue. There Was an eager call on Jones, | but bis friends could’ not get much | | better than $200 to $105. During the day, asreports came in irom the different districts, Tilden began to gain strength, and before two P. M. he was the favorite at2tol. The following | are some of the pools sold during the forenoon by Dr. Underwood :— 96 40 180 neh pools were also liberally patronized, | but there the betting between Tilden and Dix and Jones and Hayes was a little closer. Up town Johnson was hard at work taking in | handfuls of money and looking as if ie would be glad when the job was over, as he had exercised his Jungs all the previous hight and buying did not stop until) two o'clock in the morning. Yesterday afternoon and even- ing his place was densely crowded and specula- tion kept brisk. the day wore on Tilden und Jones became stron: favorites, and by nine P. M. any Odds were offered on their election. The betting on Tilden’s majority was very lively and at one time @ pool Was sold of $880%to $225 that he would carry the State by TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND MAJORITY, The crowd in the poolroom were quiet and well behaved and talked over the probable resuits with great good nature. One oid gentleman remarked, triumphantly, what thie election was the keynote to the demo*ratic song of victory in '76 and that Dix’s defeat meant the death of the répubhcan | party in this State. There @ steady run on e Paris wmutuel povls, @8 about 6,000 tickets were sold on the differentevents. When the first pool om Jones and Hayes closea at three P.M. there Ww: @ trifling difference in the number of tickets sold on each side, as Jones had 1,123 and Hayes 1,021. On the Governor of the State, Tilden was trong favorite over Dix, as the indicator showed 1,638 to 1,165. Speculation on the Mayoralty was slight, as the race was con- sidered too one-sided, In the French pools 307 tickets were sold. of which Wickham got 820, Ut. tendorfer 85 and Wales 42. One hundred tickets were sold on Tilden getting over 10,000 majority, With 54 for under; and 180 tickets on over 20,000, | with $63 im favor of under. IN THE EVENING the rooms were packed to suffocation, and there was a rush to get money on the election for Gov- | ernor, Tilden had become a very strong favorite, and offers 0! $500 to $100 on his election found no takers, The following pools were sold about nine P.M. :— ‘TILDEN'S bers a 330 246 220 22% 6155 150 200 «©2000 «200 200 1% 120 16 01 id a8 fast as the auction- eer could knock them down, and business con- tinued up toa late hour, THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL ‘Was, ag usual, the headquarters of the republican party, but on this occasion a large number of the pposition were also present, During the after- noon and evening a large crowd cong: ited around the indicator, which w. ning political instead of financial tera, The returns came in rather slowly, and ag they showed great strength for Tammany were not received with any enthusiastic cheering, Shortly beiore eight P. M. the outsiae audience began to congregate in front of the hotel, on the sidewalk, strect and Park. All eyes were turned on the transparency over the building on the corner of Fifth avenue and Broadway, Wiere the EVENING TELEGRAM bulletins of returns were biazening to the public the resalts of the day. While waiting for the first returns the spectators gazed with astonishment on the wonderiul periormances of the young lady in the ice cream business and the operations of & small stomach pump on the fe male nasal organ, between which the returns of the Register’s vote were Bleasantly Sandwiched, Jones’ mujority appeared to give general satisfaction, and elicited loud and re- eated cheering. In the meantime toe party in ne inside of tne house were not idle, and filled the barroom to repletion, swallowing the returns with avidity. The excitement kept up until near midnight, ‘when the crowd gradually cispersed and made their way home. SCENES AT THE HERALD OFFICE. Unpromisingly dull and apathetic as the election promised to be at the opening of the campaign ; un- inspiringly tame, a8a whole, as was the list of can- Gidates for office; unsympathisingly stereotyped and common place as Were the speeches in mass meeting of the great political haranguers, whose onerous and self-imposed duty of “saving the country’ 18 one of the pains and penalties of super- exalted patriotism ; unusually unstirred as seemed the popular heart by those accustomea provoca- tives of public enthusiasm, long processions longer arawn out than the finespun theories of Longinus, flying banners, transparencies pearing stranger de- vices than that of the famed Alpine youth who met his death in a snow bank, fire rockets, calclum lights, bovfires, drum beating, thunder of cannon and ding dong of bélis, suggestive of Dante’s ‘‘In- ferno;”’ unwontedly quiet, comparatively speak- Ing, as the day had been at the poils—despite ali these damaging drawbacks there was enough of lively euthusiasm shown last evening to make up for it ail, The acme of this enthusiasm developed itselfin the great crowd that early gatheréd in front Of the Hera.

Of course this was only a’irac Py tional exhibit of the city vote, Lut the way in which the announcement was received plainiy showed a firm belief thus early in the evening that Mr, Wickham was to be the next Mayor, and General Jones, although a trife behind in this district, the next Register. But there Speeuily folloved more definite results, making assurance, if not quite doubly sure of this result, at least growing more firmly established. The Fourteeath Assembly dis trict, the next in the order oj full returns. gives 8,246 for Wickham. for Wales 820 and for Ottene dorier 1,072, the Teutonic aspirant for Muyoralty honors being here second in the race, though nearly distanced at that. At the same time the fourth reeord showed 330 districts heard from, ‘with the following resuit:—Dix, 24,650; Tilden, 52,209; Wickham, 22,405; Waies, 20,302; Otten» dorfer, 13,643; Hayes, 36,783; Jones, 39,823. Tnese further exhibits, it is unnecessary to say. were emimently satistactory to the partisans o1 Tilden, Wickham and Jones. It is unnecessary to give in detail the successive records. lt was only @ little past nine o'clock when the records already announced had been placed on the bulletins, They soon came in more ire. | quently and fully, and as the evening became fur- ther advanced, Ca@ in fast and turious. All the while the throng kept augmenting, and louder and more furious became the cheers, according as the additional announcements reaiized the hopes and wishes of the large and waiting crowd. Meantime it was refreshing to hear the commen ofthe crowd. They talked of political ReCeR and politicians in @ way that would have fure nished editorial padulum for ascore of political campaign papers throughout the ensuing Presi- ential canvass.

Dix was numbered among the dead, It was gratifying to hear we were to have a rest irom Havemeyer. Tilden was made the synonym oO! political intege rity. Wickham would restore to municipal rule its lost probity. General Jones was the embodl- ment ef honor and numanity. The various Congressional and Assembly candidates were discussed, with their respective chances for election. All this time the crowd was patient and unwéaried, and despite the dif ferences o! poittical sentiments the utmost order and harmony prevailed.

AT THE HERALD UPTUWN OFFICE, Here there was @ multitude, numbering over 6,000, who were waiting for the returns. The mon, ster bulletin, whose novel and ingenious construc tion was generally admired, was the object of breathless anxiety on tnd part of the democrats as wellas on that of the republicans. The crowd blocked up Broadway between Thirty-first ana Thirty-second streets completely, and the street cara could scarcely pass through the serried masses of builetin-gagers. ‘Tne spectators belonging mostly to the upper classes there were out iew loud demon- strations of delight or disappointment, and it was Quite an interesting spectacle to see tue anxious, @ager crowd sileutiy sazing at the ree turns furnished by the HERALD, and re maining until very near midnignt in order to. hear a last whether those they had voted for were elected. Aichough there was no loud shouting or cheering, lively commenta ‘were excnanged between friends, and the general Satisfaction over the favorabie returns regarding General Jones Indicated the popular sentiment very plainly. The handsome returns in regard to ‘Tilden received irom the city districts during the earlier hoursol the evening were also received with evident gratification. The multitude, instead of growing thinner, became larger and larger as the night wore on, until it finally seemed ag though the entire w-atern half of the upper portion of the inetropol discharged its population and was gazing HERALD election returns, HERALD RETURNS AT YORKVILLE, The scene in front of the Herawp election bub letin board.at East Side Hall last night was one of the mest brilliant ever witnessed in Yorkville, Long before any returns were made an immens¢ concourse of people had gathered and all points of Vantage on botn sides of the ‘avenue were monopolized. The crowd stood pa& tently watching the blank linen bulletin whict palpitated in the White calcium light, wondering what tale it would tell, Some anxious, othert curious, @ few boisterous and all deeply inter eated. Before the brush of the painter touched the linen the loud murmer of conversation was only interrupted by the shouts of the car drivers who found no simall diMcuity in iorging their way through tne crowd which blocked up the avenue, forming an almost impassable phalanx. When the result in the S@c- ond Assembly District (which was the first com- pleted) was made known, @ deafening yell went up from a@ thousand throats. This district gave Wickham 2,220, while neither of his oppo» nents hed obtained 1,000. The shouting and cheering had just ceased when the Fourteenta Gistrict Was announced, showing that Wicknam, had received more votes than Ottendorfer and Wales put together, ‘fhe democratic element which predominated in the crowd now became hilariousty enthusiastic and cheered and cheered, Waies’ vote in thig district was only 820 to Wicknam’s 3,246, und some wag in the crowd shouted, ‘Make that 820 big; we can’t see it,” Betting now an, and democratic roosters crowed very loud, but awakeued no responsive echo from ‘the republicans ail around tiem, The ladder went up again, and the painter, with postet in hand, mounted.
