THE ELECTION ON LAST MONDAY. The election which took placc on last Monday, for corporation officers, was decidedly a singular affair. It was in fact the development of the secret plans and machinations of the Order, which held its meeting on Friday night in the new Tempcrancc Ilall, in Commercial Row. On Saturday morning, a ticket was displayed at the head of the editorial column in the .•••Montgomery Journal, the Thug organ of

Crawfordsville, falsely styled the "People's Ticket." As a matter of course there was considerable inquiry as to where the ticket originated and at what place it received its nomination. Nobody recollected of there being any public meeting in which the citizens at large were invited to participate, and where one and all might have an equal

chance to be properly represented. In view of this state of things, a public mass meeting was held at the Court House, and a citi zens' ticket nominated, and though the friends of this republican mode of bringing •out candidates had no idea of defeating the ticket born and brought forth in darkness, yet they determined to resist as far as it lay in their power, the tyrannical assumption

and aggrandizement of a secret political Order, that attempts to control and manage not only our State and Congressional elec'tiov.s but to x^reise unlimited control and T.uthr.rity over the smallest offices in the gift of (lie people. According to their screed, every man is an alien and unworthy their confidence who is not a member of the Order, and it matters little how moral and upright a man may be, if lie has never •surrendered to them his individual opinion and taken a horrid oath to support none but second grce members, he is put down and ^crushed by the secrct engine, which has already so far exasperated and embittered tone portion of the American people against the other that the model republic of the world stands at the present time upon the verge of civil war. 1 lie horrible outrages recentiv enacted in Louisville brings vividly to mind the massacre of St. Bartholomew, where, thousands perished through the ignorance, superstition and bigotry of a dark ^age. llow long before our own town will follow the example thus set before them by •the Order in our large cities, we arc unable determine. But one thing is certain, the *pi it and the will to knock down and drag out is strongly perceivable here among manv of the Order. Their eyes burn with hi strange lustre, countenances that heretofore looked mild and placio1, and that bore the mark of an early christian training, ha become rigid and colorless as the marble.

A wild demoniac smile is the only thing that greets one now when he meets a Thug. Like a tiger, their thirst for blood has become insatiate, nnd they pant for an opportunity to immolate themselves like Bill Poole upon the altar of superstition, bigotry and prejudice.

Oja Monday morning, the election board, by the jesuiticai management of the Thugs, was composed entire:j* of members of the Ordir, three of whom, thb judges, were candidates on the Thug ticket. This outrage upon the feelings of a large portion of our citizens was borne with a commendable forbearance. The thing itself showed a premeditated insult, backed with brazenfaced impudence and over-bearing conduct. Never, since the days of the notorious Jugde Jeffrys. did men feel more importance •than the three judges of that election board on last Monday. The owl-like gravity and studied severity of their countenances was undoubtedly intended to frighten anti-Thugs from the polls, and it was ludicious in the cxir« me to *e« the raxing of U»e muscles

of their faces followed by the broad grin, whenever a white ticket was presented, and the sodden frown and penetrating glance that met the citizen who presented the yellow one. At noon the Thugs seemed disheartened, for they were evidently in the minority, and groups could be seen talking ih low subdued voices and gesticulating violently with their hands. Many were seen pointing towards the college as a last resource.

r_.

About 1 o'clock, the great High Priest of the Order, accompanied by the Vice President, made his appearance in the Court House yard and a council was held in which it was forthwith resolved to call in the foreignersfrom the College, who though not living in the l.mits of the corporation would be allowed the privilege under the peculiar circumstances of the case to vote the Thug ticket, and the judges taking into consideration the chance of their being defeated, heartily gave their consent to have the regiment of conscripts marched down. Accordingly the order was given, and at precisely half past 2 o'clock, a moving mass of flesh and blood under the command of the Vice President hove in sight each conscript bearing a white ticket and marching with measured tread. The bringing down of their heavy force, something over a hundred, as a matter of course gave the Thugs the victory, their majority being about eighty-four We are not at all disheartened, but well pleased with our efforts and though we did not succeed in beating them, we had the satisfaction of frightening them almost into./fo as their quivering lips and blanched faces clearly showed and some of whom have not yet fully recovered their composure. We expect to be in the field again and fight to the last man.

iCSTThe Louisville Courier, the Know Nothing organ, after detailing the commencement of the fight, says: There were transactions on Saturday in the first Ward for which we must take some of the inconsiderate friends of Americanism to task.— There were foreigners innoccnt of any wrong or intention of wrong, who, when passing along the street, when in their own houses, when distant from the polls, were attacked and beaten most unmercifully. The houses of some Germans were entered and their propcr'13* destroyed others were pursuedby crowds of infuriated men and boys. These attacks, in cases without provocation cannot be excused.

iCSTA. P. Watson & Co., have removed their boot it shoe store to the corner of Vernon and Green streets, in the room formerly occupied by J. P. Campbell. Their estab-li.-hment is the largest and most extensive of

any in the county, and we advise our readers to give them their patronage they sell not only cheap but the best quality of boots and shoes.

(X'T'At a political festival in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Mr. Burlingame, a distinguished know-nothing of Massachusetts, a member elect of the next Congress, after denouncing slavery and slaveholders in the strongest terms, concluded his speech ivith the following sentiment:

We can tell those who are plotting against us, and through us the first movers in the glorious cause of Americanism, that we could despise them were they not beneath contempt—that we prefer their enmity to their friendship—that we have lived on thus long without their assistance, and can do so still. But we will compel them to pay their honest debts, and then whip them in disgrace from the places they have polluted. They may flatter themselves with the fancy that the new secret movement. into which they sneaked for selfish purposes, hat- swallowed up the American party, but we have a spell like the signal whistle of Rhoden'ek Dhu, which can garrison every hill and glen with sturdy defenders of the right. We. therefore, tell members of councils, we defy their malice and scorn their impotent threats. Pay us you shall, and after that we wili reckon with YOU. We ask no favors, but will demand our rights. And as for starting another paper—'go it, ye cripples!"—the more the merrier for the trade."

RIOT AND BLOODSHED IN LOUISs- VILLE. Know Nothingism is truly the hot-bed of mobocracy and the fountain-head of political 6Coundrelism. When the organization first became known to exist, we were wont to warn and reiterate our warnings against it as an institution, of itself, in its very character corrupt and demoralizing in its influence upon society and the government.— Political associations, of all others, are most apt to lead to bad extremes in action and design when public, however, they are watched over, one by the other, and every error in word or deed is heralded among, and canvassed by the people interested.— When a party, however, is secret in the system of its organization, the very fact that the "sayings and doings" of members will not be subject to public scrutiny, is a stimulus to the dishonest and the crafty to display their power and their cunning.

At an election for a few petty offices in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday last, as cool and calculating a riot was carried on as has yet cast a disgraceful blot on Know Nothingism, in any of our cities, New Albany not excepted.

We extract the following, which is too loathsome and disgraceful for contemplation, from the Louisville Democrat:^.

SATURDAY'S ELECTION.

Riotous Proccediugs—Oiitra

ces and ESIoodshcd.

Saturday morning early a crowd of jackals, hyenas, and bawdy-house bullies took possession of the polls in the First and Second Wards, swearing that no anti-Know Nothing, foreigner or not, should be allowed to vote, or even approach the polls and they kept their word faithfully. A few of the incidents we will give to our readers:

Dr. Strader, passing down Main street from the polls, was stoned by the crowd, and compelled to run. This was about the beginning.

An aged German, some sixty years old, was standing on the door-sill of his house on Clay street, near Main, saying nothing to anybody, when the crowd assaulted him, dragged him into the street, and beat him. R. F. Baird, Esq., endeavored to protect him, but without avail.

Geo. W. Noble went into the First Ward polls while the crowd were oiF at a fight, and deposited his vote. On coming out a large man asked him how he voted. "As I pleased," was the reply, when he was knocked down. Getting up, he was knocked down a second and a third time, and then dragged some distance by the hair of his head.

An old German, apparently about 70 years of age, was beaten almost to a jelly, and left covered with bloud. Young Bamberger, in quietly passing along, was pursued for several squares, and succeeded in escaping only by hiding in an old building.

A large crowd pursued two Germans from the First Ward polls to the United States brewery on Market, just below Wcnzel street. An aged man seeing the crowd coming, hurried to pass through a private alley into his own house. Before he could open the gate and pass in two or more assaulted him, and knocked him down. Trying to get up he begged for his life but not his age, his gray hairs, nor his entreaties, were of any avail the miscreant assaulting hrm struck with a slung-shot—the blow missed its aim, striking the wall of the house. At that moment the crowd diverted attention to the house of P. Merkel, keeper of the brewery, and the poor oid man escaped.

The main crowd were furious in their pursuit of the two young Germans. They assaulted the house, demolished the barroom. breaking everything in it beat Mr. Merk-1 in a most cruel manner. Not satistied, the mob pushed on through the house, breaking and tearing to pieces all that came in their way—chairs, beds, dishes, pictures, glasses. Up stairs thev pushed, into the 'room where Mrs. Merkel and her children 1

(were—some one struck her a severe blow on the shoulder. Four or five shot** were fired into the room where the children were.

Charles Hunt, Merkel's driver, was pursued up stairs and shot at, the ball lodging in the door-casing above his head the crowd overtook him, knocked him down, and beat him nearly to death.

All the furniture in the house, except two small rooms back was entirely destroyed. Mr. Hunt was robbed of fifteen dollars.— The money drawer in Mr. Merkel's bar room was rifled of its contents, something over fifty dollars.

The two young Germans, John Snyder, and C. Raich, were cut and mangled in a terrible manner one of them will, in all probability, lose one of his eyes an attempt was made to fire the house.

The crowd, returning from the brewery, stopped a milk-man's wsgon. The young son of the milk-man frightened, jumped out and ran down street screaming with terror, A blacksmith near by rushed out and enIdeavored to protect him for this human attempt the crowd stoned him.

A funeral, proceeding up Jefferson street to the graveyard, was stoned. The drug store, corner of Main and I Campbell, was stoned. I A shoe store, on Main, near Clay, was also stoned. :..••,

A wagoner from Shelby county, while passing along quietly, was assaulted and forced to run. I In the Second Ward about 9 o'clock, a

German living on Jefferson street, between Preston and Jackson streets, stepped out of 1 his house to take a child of his from the sidewalk, when the crowd that was passing looking for "some fun," knocked him down with the infant in his arms.

About the same time, Mr. F. Frishe, a candid ate for Magistrate, went with a friend to the Second Ward polls to vote, when [they were assaulted and severely beaten.

Mr. Jacob Seibert, going to the polls, was knocked down by one, ffnd„severely beaten by several others.

As Mr. W Veitch was about entering the? engine house, he was dragged out and beaten.

A crowd on Jefferson street knocked down an old German white-washer, and while he was down, stamped on him, kicked and beat him. About a square further off, the same

Officers Gilmore and Hammond interfered and took him home in a wagon. With the exception of this interference, there were no police about the city marshal was not on the ground all day the Know Nothing Mayor was not there the deputy sheriff was appealed to to preserve peace, but replied that he was a quiet man, and the people must take care of themselves.

Under this name a war, extending almost to extermination, has been commenced against all who were born out of the United States, or who were attached to the Catholic faith. This assault upon those whom our constitution and laws were designed to protect was a fatally false step taken by the leaders of this new party.

ARRIVAL OF THE

Advices from the army at Sebastopol to the 19th have been received. Contrary to expectations no important results has taken place.

Since the breaking up of the Vienna Conference, several supplementary meetings of the four powers have been held, but with-' out any definite result.

The plenipotentiaries assnmbled on the 23d and signed the protocol of the last Conference. Another meeting was held at the request of Gortschikofl. He made further proposition, from Russia, but they were rejected.

The effect of the Conference plans thus totally failed. It was generally admitted ihat nothing now could be hoped for, but a long war all arc looking to the result of the struggle at Sebastopol with intense anxiety.

Before Lord Russell left Vienna, he had a private interview of two hours with Count? Boval.

The departure of the French Minister from Vienna had been postponed a few days, for the purpose of discussing matter* with the Austrian Cabinet.

The London Times speaks of the policy of the Czar, as being even more audacious than that of his father. It is so regarded1 in Europe.

The Allies had control of the telegraph lines, and nothing was known in regard to the real condition of aflairs at Sebastopol, but the general impression was that matters were in favor of the Allies.
