The Radicals also turned ont in still larger numbers, and the opposing parties occupy? ing their respective sides or the street, seemed ready tor any emergency. The voting com metfced as soon as St Michael's clock Btruck 7, and continued rapidly, with but few interrup? tions, notii io o'clock. Five soldiers were station? ed undei neath the porch- or the Guardhouse. They bad quietly 'stacked arms, and were sitting around them. A colored citizen about thia time went up to the polls of Ward l, and voted the Wagener ticket openly. This excited the Radical negroes around, and one of them struct Captain Thomas Yoong, who was near the voter, and was sccused of in? fluencing him. Captain Yoang returned the blow, the crowd pressed on them, and a row en sued. The shouts and curses announced to the outsiders the commencement of the difficulty, and :he soldiers, fixing their bayonets, charged across the square, loading as they went.* The portico ind steps of the City Hall were packed with men, jut as the glittering baronets came up the steps m one side, a rush was made lor the other steps, ind the porch was cleared in an instant. This nterventlon put an Immediate stop to the riot, ind strict order was .maintained for some dmr. Toe most turbulent were qrdeted, and the moral effect or cold steel,- In the hands or disciplined men 1 was never more perceptible. The police were utterly Insig? nificant, and seemed to do more towards ieepiugV up the- disturbance ; .than quelling lt They, stood 'hy and saw colorad- ?ten assailed md failed to arrest the assailants. Ia particular Henry Draine, a colored citizen, was assaulted ind followed by a disorderly ruffian with-a club ind though the police were called upon to arrest the man they refused to take him to the Guard louse: Their action cannot be too severely r?p rebended. Inward 2 things seemed quite as threatening is on the other side of the street, but the riot oc? curred there first, and the sight of the bayonets ibarglng across the street to the City Hall had a most beneficial effect in keeping the Radical row lies within, proper bound-?. At the first precinct of Ward 3 order was strict y preserved, and the voting throughout the day trent on quietly. Th the second precinct the Pal ' netto boys turned out In force to see the ticket ibrongb. Early In the day a large number af Usorderly colored Radicals came over from Lp ipectlon street, and seeing a colored citizen vote .he Wagener ticket they "jumped" bim. Ina noment a lively row was progressing, and the our soldiers stationed in the engine house came mt with their bayonets. The crowd gave away, ind the riot subsided under a Judicious intrusion if cold steel. As usual there was a tremendous 11 labbnb, bot no one was hurt and no deadly veapons were used. 1 Fatal Affray in Sires Street. 1 The polling place Jn the ii rat precinct of Ward 8 c rsa the scene daring the afternoon of a collision j lOtween a few disorderly Radicals and the United t ?tates soldiers who were on guard at the place, esnltlng in the killing or Falaam Grant, a col- I < ired man twenty-five years of age. The polling 11 ilace was at the Niagara Engine-house, on Sires itreet, between Spring and Begard streets. The lttle street was filled all the morning with a arge crowd or people of all shades or color, and t was evident that any slight occurrence might 11 iring about a sertot? disturbance. The mtmury raard consisted of Sergeant Malony and three irtvates or Company D, Eighteenth lo faa try, and t was proposed by them to clear the little street 11 ts a preventive measure. In this, however, he sergeant was overruled by the special Itpnty sheriff on duty at that point, 11 md the crowd remained. At abont 2 o'clock, as i colored man was approaching the polls, the ral vers of Loth parties surrounded him, soliciting tis vote. At this, o. j colored man in the crowd, tamed Balaam Grant, became incensed, and legan denouncing the rallyers of the Citizens' ?arty for attempting to secure a colored vote, ?ot content with verbal denunciations, he raised i heavy club, which he carried in bis hand, and >egan laying about him on the heads of every vhlte man whom he could reach. At this time, Sergeant Malony and one private were stationed it the polling place, the other soldiers being at lither end or the street. Grant was )rdered by Sergeant Malony and Roundsman Sing to desist, and the order not being )beyed, they started to arrest him. ' Grant tried io ran, and made his way as well as he could .hrough the crowd, until he had got nearly to the ?nd of the street, when a soldier discharged his nusket and he fell, shot through the abdomen md mortally wounded. A- scene or the wildest incitement ensued. The colored men swarmed Lbout the soldiers and swore that they wonld lave revenge. The lew soldiers kept the excited | j irowd at bay a3 well as they could, while the po? lee remained passive spectators. Meantime a nessage had been sent to the Citadel, and one iompany or the Sd Artillery Boon appeared upon he scene, armed with muskets, and commenced 0 disperse the mob. Starting from the polling place, in abont the centre or the block, they narcbed In both directions, gradually pressing ;he crowd back until the street was cleared or all ixcept those whose duties kept them at the polls. 1 detail of a corporal and five men-was then left ipon the scene, in addition to the original guard, md order was maintained during the remainder of the day. Two white men-Robert Lyona,; and Robert Lyons, Jr.-were arrested on a eba of riotous conduct and were taken to Guardhouse. The wounded man was tal to the City Hospital, where lt was .fot that he had been shot in the abdom the ball entering on the median li an Inch or two below the nmblllcal, passing rectly through the body and coming out at back. The wound was a terrible one, and died early last evening. Oa being admitted the hospital Grant made the following 6tatemi of his recollection of the affray: I, Balaam Gran r, do testify as follows: Th a soldier shot me for nothing. I was running. < Lyona cut at me with a knife, and I ran, and < Lyons ordered a soldier to fire at me. I hat stick In my hand, and one man said,* "There I nigger: kill him ;'; a white man-l don't know : name. All the men were running out of the w when I was shot. I voted the Citizens' ticket.' His (Signed) . BALAAM H GTEANT Mark. There are evident contradictions In this sta ment opon which we do not at thu time desire dwell. According to the best information lu c possession, Grant struck down a white man, a cursed the United States soldiers. When ordei repeatedly to halt, he still ran, as reported, ai was wounded, to the regret of every citizen at t precinct. It ls due to the United States soldi* to say that they behaved with almost too mu prudence, and only used their arma when tl became absolutely necessary to save them frc the fury of the mob. The wounding of Grant added to theexel ment.- Bis body, mounted on a spring cart, w paraded through Sires street, and the negroes c .mended'the Instant arrest of Mr. Lysne, Jr., w was said to have called ont "shoot him," befo the fatal shot was fired. At this time no Unit' States soldiers were present, but minors of a rc had passed with lightning speed over the w he city. Mr. A. S. Tobias, the president of the Cl zens' Club of the ward, met the colored rioters they advanced toward the polls and ask them whatf .they wanted. Their spoke mau said that the man who cried "Shoot him must be given up' to them. Mr. Tobias repll that Mr. Lyons was now In a house Immediate opposite the polling precinct. He should be giv< up to any properly constituted authority, wheth civil or military, but no mob, whatever Its nut bera, should take Mr. Lyons ont of that boo while one man lived to protect him. The negroe shouting wildly, Barged forward, brandis mg slung shots and ? clubs. At this m ment a detachment from Ward 7 appea ed upon the scene, giving a highly mot support to the remarks of President T blas. The howling rioters recoiled for a m ment, and were now disturbed by the arrival the United States troops, {.who had been donbl qnlcked to the Bcene or expected disorder. A remained comparatively quiet for a few m?nate when Sheriff Mackey and Captain Hendricks, tl chief of police, galloped up to the polling plac Thenegroes now cried, "We are all right. *S d-d Yankee soldier J shall run over OB now. For a time cheering and cursing on tl part of the negroes- filled the sultry al Captain Hendricks was told pretty plainl that he and his crew were responsible rc all this tumult. Curbing his roaming s tee (fed at the expense or the city,) he shout? ont, I have but one lire, and that I am willing * sacrifice in the interest of law and order." 1 was evident that the mob regarded both th sheriff and the chief of police as their allies an comlorters; bnt the United States soldiers, actin under the orders or their officers, cleared th street and drove the noisy rascals back. Preal dent Tobias protested against any lnterlerenc with the freedom or election; and from the mo ment that the soldiery arrived In force every citl zen, BO rar as we know, was at liberty to vote fo the cand cate or his choice. Shortly afterwan the bnlk or the troops were withdrawn, and the chier or police being no longer present, al disorder ceased. The Scene in Inspection Street. One cf the most effective and striking scenes o the dey was that presented la Inspection street The l^le hilly thoroughfare, flanked by blgl stone walls and stables, was choked from Wash lngton street to East Bay with an excited masi or struggling blacks, swayed here and there bj every Impuls:, and by frequent shouts when ont would fiad some randed insult put upon hlmsel: or comrade, ready to precipitate themselves pell mell, without a question,-upon the few white mer who Etood here and there attending to the dntlei of the day, or awaiting a chance to vote. Ic atjaut the centre or the block was the polling plaoe, i tB approaches denned .by a eort bf than gular peu, built np to separate-the.Incoming frorr the outgoing suffragans, and here was the centra point of the excitement. A policeman or two and the four United States soldiers stationed at the door were pushed and jostled by the surging crowd or blacks pressing towards the barrier to look with strained and bloodshot eyes for any act o? the managers which they could torture Into an Indignity, and make a pretext for a deadly fight. Once when a soldier pushed ??colored man away, in order to make room for the approaching voters, the man jumped into the street, threw down his hat, and shouted for his comrades to rally. Flourishing a hage club above his beac}, he lashed himself into a fury or d?fiance, shout? ing to the colored crowd; and showering profani? ty and obscenity upon the soldier. The latter, a julet, determined German, had his loaded rifle ready, and the bayonet fixed, and most mea in illa position would have answered the foul taunts with a touch or the cold, steel, which must have precipitated a bloody conflict; but he be laved With great-prudence, quietly but im? placably walking his beat, and gradually -rushing the colored mass back BO as to rrldea the little seml-clrcie round the polls. Every such Incident caused a rush In Its ilrection, the negroes cursing and howling and irandishlng hnge'sticks, with which each man or ;hem was armed, and on the outskirts of each inch crowd would be seen black women, fierce, perspiring and malignant, slouching along with Mired arms and breasts, some hatless and some Tit h men's hats crushed over their foreheads, ?ach bringing a paving stone and tossing it from land to hand, while the fingers were clutched ner? vously as IT longing fo r a battle. And so t he day ivore on, and it ls sate to say that but for the inlet presence or the white men a scene or ter? rible turbulence wonld have had to be recorded n Inspection street. Scenes In Conrthomi Square. The disposition to a riot In Ward 2 was kept In ;heck daring the early part or the day by observ ng the summary manner in which the disturb? ance in Ward 1 was quieted ; bat abont 2 o'clock m absurd report was spread that a white man lad dabbed another in the hall or the Courthouse. The hall was thrown lu a moment into confusion, ind a serious riot appeared imminent. The sol Hera again did their duty and cleared the mob from the door, and the matter was settled as quickly as lt begun. Soon after a white man was assaulted on th? sidewalk In Meeting street, In iront of the.Courthouse, and drew a pistol to ieiend himself. As usual the crowd snrged in ind around, and a gentleman's buggy which stood in the centre of the row was threatened with utter demolition. Sheriff Mackey Jumped In and arrested the white man, who was taken Into the Suardhouse. The charge, however, was not sus? tained, as the drawee, could not be found, and lue prisoner was discharged. As the hour for closing trie polls drew near, all of the men In the city seemed to hare assembled it the Courthouse Square. Meeting and Broad streets for some distance were filled with gloomy md anxious races, as the reports from the upper part or the city were received, and the windows md porch or the City Hall were covered with men. Among the crowd was a small army or :oiored ragamuffins, whose sole delight and ob? ject were to bring on a row, and, In one instance, they succeeded. A colored man waa going down Meeting street, and a report was originated that he was a Conserva? tive. The gang or gamins whooping and yelling and brandishing their clubs started toward him, sad the man thinking blmse'f In danger, took to bis heels. The game was up and the rowdy pack followed in hot pursuit, or course everybody rushed after. The fugitive took refuge In the yard or Mr. Barbot, and the denae throng rushing arter him, burst open the gates. Sheriff Mackey was igaln on hand and once more pat an end to the row. The gang of boys returning In high glee, were a little disconcerted by an attack from seve? ral policemen who captured about a dozen of them. These were locked op m the Guardhouse and the others disappeared In a hurry from the scene. -, Thia was the last disturbance, and, as old St. Michael's bells chimed the hour or 5, the excite? ment of the contest resolved Itself Into anxious, speculations as to the probable results. The bal? lot-boxes came down one hy one, escorted by the squaSs or soldiers stationed at the various pre? cincts, and were hailed wi h shouts by the crowd. The Citizens' party felt a presage of vic? tory, and loud cheers were given for the Conser? vative candidates. The boxes were all piled in the northwest corner of the General Sessions Court-room, and the commutes appointed by each party to watch them tous their stations in the room as the boxe? from their respective pre? cincts came ia. The guard was mounted, the light was over, acd all discussed In good humor the probable result of the count this morning. The Safe and Quiet Wards. At the Washington Engine House, In Vander. horst street, the eth Ward polls were crowded, and the voting went on briskly during the morn? ing. The Radicals had a heavy majority on the registration list, and used every endeavor to make it still larger on the voting. Several Con? servative colored men were, however, on the ground, and, with their able assistance, the Citi? zens' ticket will make a better run than the oppo-1 sing faction suppose. There was not the slightest j disturbance during the entire day In this ward at the three precincts. In Smith street the voters took their time and voted quietly, while the man agers had nothing more exciting to occupy their attention than occasional rumors of riots from the other wards. The Marion Engine-house also enjoyed a peace-1 able day, and the managers were highly pleased I wi'h the courtesies extended them by Mr. Bark? ley, the president of the Marions. The voting at ihe single precinct in Ward 7 was accomplished la the most charming seren? 'ty. The banner ward showed Its strength, and the Citizens' ticket was voted by fully one half of the colored residents. The voters came up to a Bide window of the Ashley Engine house, in Columbus street, s nd deposited their votes In ; he box. A squad of soldiers was stationed here, bnt bad little to do beyond lying on the grass la the Mall and looking on. * Repeating and Colonizing. In the three precincts of Ward 4 the utmost quiet reigned supreme. A. large vote was polled, and the Citizens' ticket may look for a heavy majority here. Over 260 colored Voters gave the Wagener ticket a lift, and these men kept their word, and made a foll appearance at the polls during the day. At the Smith street precinct lt was too hot to get up an excitement, and the watermelons suf? fered severely. The Stonewall Engine-house was crowded all day, aid the utmost harmony pre* j vailed arnpng the managers * nd committees on the subject of voting. In the afternoon, W. E. j Fraser, - a colored man, came forward to vote, and, after taking the oath, he was found to have voted at the same poll, and under the same name, about three hours before. Hie Ingenious ruse was detected, and the would-be repeater was | consigned to a policeman, who escorted him to the Guardhouse. A few minutes after, Joseph McBride, a colored fellow, with a rnstlc suit of clothes, presented himself and took the oath, B wearing that he bad registered. Joe's name could not be found on the hst nor among the oaths. A joint committee was dispatched to his a leged place of residence, and the home of his I adoption knew him noe Joseph was disavowed even by bis Radical friends, and meekly followed the man ia blue to the Guardhouse, where he will pine for the'freedom cf island home. These epi? sodes were enacted in the best of humor by al ll concerned, and the polls were closed with three rousing cheers for General Wagener and the cit!- I zens' ticket. The Hope Engine-house was aa quiet as could be, and the committee claim a majority of 23 I votes for the Citizens' ticket. Items anti Incidents. At the Market Hall precinct early In the morn? ing thereVas a glimmer or trouble, built waa promptly put down by the United States troops. Inward 7 a special policeman made captious objections to a registered colored voter, and waa himself taken to the Guard house. Radical leaders in Ward 6 conceded the elec? tion cf the Wagoner ticket by a large majority, but one.coal black fellow threatened, to burn ont one of the working committee or the Citizens' party. Watch him. It was particularly noticeable that In those pre- i clncts where a majority of white men were pre? sent the utmost order prevailed, the only scenes or disturbance being in those lo cali ti a where the colored attendance preponderated. ' I I An agreeable ripple of excitement was occa- I sloned in Inspection street during the artern o?a by the advent upon the scene of forty c Mored vot- I ers, escorted by a body of white men, and each wearing a Wagener ticket conspicuously pinned I upon his coat. These men marched solidly"up to tho polling place, quietly deposited a Citizens' vote apiece, and then leff after a round of rousing cheers for General Wagener. A few mercenary negroes were outspoken la their threats against any colored man who dared to vote the Wagner ticket. At the third precinct or Ward 6 they swore they would hunt down and j kill any d-d man who dared to vote against Pillsbury. j Very few bogus tickets were In circulation, but an attempt was made, without success^to scratch on e of the Citizens' candidates rrom Ward 4. I The Count To-Day. j, The election boxes from the various precincts throughout the city are now under guard In the General Sessions room of the Courthouse, where, at io o'clock th ia morning, the several managers of elections will assemble to count and declare the vote. The statutes of the St tte provide that the managers shall count the vote, under oath, stat- I lng the whole number of votes cast for each can" t?ldate or person voted for, and shall transmit their report of the same, m a sealed envelope, to I the Mayor of the city, whose duty lt is made to announce and publish the whole I number of votes cast, and the whole nc ruber cast for each candidate, when the several j candidates receiving the largest nnmber or legal votes for the offices for which they were voted for I shall be declared duly elected. The managers of election are empowered to decide contested I cases, subject to tne appeu&te Jurisdiction of the new board of aldermen when organized, unless the election ol a majority of that board should be contested, in which case the finding and binding appeal will be to the present City Council.

Thc Lancet, August 27th, 1870, saja or tala pre? paration: "It ls quite aa po tent aa Chloride or Zinc or Carbolic Acid, and teat the same time non poison ons and devoid of unpleasant smell of every kind. These qualities will, no doubt, insure lu being extensively used, and at no distant date we may expect lt to displace the antiseptics which are at present in vogue." CHLORALUM ls an astringent antiseptic, ap? plied to foul ulcers by London surgeons, as a gar? gle in scarlet fever, diphtheria and common sore throat, and has been found invaluable in Inflam? mation of the eyes, Ac. . -f-y; CHLORALUM can be relied on by Farmers in the treatment of Foot and Month Disease, and in carrying on disinfection in their homes, stables, cowbeds, p Ige ty es and poultry-houses. CHLORALUM for dog kennels can be used with great advantage and economy in keeping meat fresh for any length ot time, in purifying the benches and yards, and completely removing the foul and sickening odor of dirty or {undrained kennels.
