The President lias not been able yet to pick out a soft place for Fred Douglas to light on. The streets of Cincinnati' are dreadfully dirty, and prompt and energetic action will be necessary to head off disease. This not an electioneering item. The election is over. Instead of "clearing" the galleries of the Senate, how would it do to clear the Souate Chamber Itself occasionally? The gallery has been the most respectable part the house lately.

Tkn Bosnia. AM we write It appeara that Mr.WnxiAif has been elected Mayor of Cincinnati by a majority unexpectedly It eems alao possible, or likely, that the entire Democratic ticket ia elected, but the scratching baa been so remorseless that at this moment it is impossible to even "guess" intelligently the fata of all of the candidates. Of tb election of Mr. Means there appeara to bo no doubt. We took occasion to say, prior to the election, that it was not a National election; and we do not now exult over the victory as though it was a victory of the National Democratic party.

But it wu, nevertheless, the excellence Of the Democratic ticket; of a ticket composed wholly of Democrats; of a ticket nominated by a Democratic Convention in which there was "no admixture ot error;" of- a ticket which compelled respect and support outside of its party, that won the victory. It was a triumph of local independence. An important step was taken toward emancipating our local government from the tbralldom of National political parties, which are organized for National purposes. It was attempted to in ject Jnto this canvass the claims of the Re publican party in the city, In the county, in the Slate, in the nation. If the National Republican party was really introduced into this campaign it was beaten.

One of Mr. Jacob's organs sought to pose Mr. Jacob as a representative of a class of our citizens, an honorable and respected class, and to pose him at the same time as a representative of disobedience to law. There were many worthy German citizens yesterday who refused to be so represented who declined to be put in that attitude. Hundreds of Germans voted against Mr.

Jacob yesterday because they did not like to be, or seem to be, the champions ot lawlessness. They had been forced to choose, and, while they are reputed to be clannish, they made, many ot them, a choice free from the suspicion of narrowness. It is settled that when disobedience to law, lawlessness, is hoisted npon a flag in this city as a platform, the party beneath it goes to the wall. The chief German organ of the defeated candidate for the Mayoralty sought to array the German-born citizens of this city against every body else, and every body else against the German-born citizen. This, too, was a mistake and a failure, and was made a failure largely by German votes.

The election is a protest against lines of caste and cliques and nationality. It is indicative of a healthy sentiment in this cornm unity in this, as in other respects. It should not bo forgotten that the workinginen in this contest rendered some service. Their efforts may not have been decisive of the result; bat many of them recognized the ticket put in nomination by the Democratic party as the representative, of friendship to themselves. The Democratic party i3 the his torio friend of the workingman, and this fact was generously recognized by the work ingmen of this city.

The Gazette supported Mr. Meass. 1 In weighing tho influences operative in this election that of the Gazette has been variously estimated. That it deserves credit for its fearless independence in this local election is not, or ahould not bo denied. The head of the Democratic ticket waa suc as to invite its support.

That the support of the Gazette drove away from Mr. Means voters who did not know him, and who were prejudiced against a' Gazette candidate on general principles, ia unquestionably true. Perhaps the number it frightened equaled the number it won. The Gazette' independence, however, enforced the doctrine npon which the Enquirer insisted, that this waa not a National political election. It made "scratching" easy for many men.

The most significant lesson, perhaps, to be drawn from this election is in this that manly, -dignified, self-respectful, unseek-ing methods can be winning methods in the politics of, this great city. rMr. Means did not seek the nomination for the Mayoralty. After he was nominated he scarcely moved outside of bis accustomed paths to secure the election, lie is not haughty, or cold, or "aristocrat ie," or unsympathetic; but he resisted the entreaties of his friends to "go among the people" to solicit votes. He was elected practically without money and without machin-ery.

He was not a mendicant lor suffrages. He will enterupon the ouica uuirauuneiea, uupieageu ana me goes to him more thoroughly as a free-will offering of the people of the city than it lias gone to any othe? Mayor of Cincinnati for many, many years. It is made known that a gentleman, without seeking the place and without employing ungentUmanly methods, can become Mayor' of Cincinnati. ,1.

Democracy has at last triumphed In this city of Republican mlarnle a city that has beea governed with a lawless band for lol these many days; a elty ia which corrupt officials have held sway so long that tbey that they waxed fat and Insolent on the spoils of office. A eity that to-day is threatened with disease and deatn by reason of' the abominable condition of Its thoroughfares, which Incompetent feeders at the poblie crib have neglected. Tbo outraged citizens have at last arlsea in the majesty of their strength, and called a halt. The victory ia the more glorious from the fact that the Democratic party against fearful odds. The battle was hot and fierce, but when the san of yesterday set the fight waa our.

It Is a triumph over the thugs and vandals of political despots a triumph over a venal police force that was never equalled for mendacity and usurpation of authority. It is a triumph over all the underhanded tricks that a party made drunk with power so sueeessfully. It persistently employs, and It la a triumph of the better, cleaner, purer element of the community, that has last said to the thief, the bunko shark, and the swindler thus fathaatthoo gone but no farther. It is, indeed, something to shout over, and the men of. both parti is who contributed to the result need ao excuse for singing paans of praise to this manifestation ot the return of reason and common sense to the conduct of our munlel pal affairs.

Thus doth the Queen City ot the West send greetings to her Eastern sister cities, and assures them that the Jubilee hath come.

TROCBLX 1 THS VIXTK WARP.

There were tough times at th npper pr elnctof the Ninth Ward yesterday. Con anion reitrned supreme iron the lime a certain delect-Iv, accompanied by Mike Arnold and Ciias. Young, got upon the (t round. Voter were insulted and jostled, and every thing was doiie to arouse indignation. Daring the inorn-iug voter was challenged by Mr.

Mullen, of the Democratic Challenging Committee. No sooner had Mullen opeuetf hts mouth than Young and Arnold jumped on him and commenced to beat him. Th policemen never interfered, and It most said tbat they carried out their 1 net ructions to the letter. Mullen tried to pull his revolver, but it was In. poMlble.

r'mally he jerked away and ran aoroNs the street, followed by his assailants, and only escuped by running through a jeweler's store and out into an alley. Arnold and Yonng alao pounced upon two brothers ntiued Levy, anas of a well-known eiviaen, only reaaua that they had voted the Democratic, cket A man named Somera, somewhat under the Influence of liquor, shouted for Means; but no soouer did hedoao -than one of the bummers knocked him out into the street. Finally Arnold and Young grew tired of their sport in this ward, and, ae-romnnlwl by two or three others, started Ldown to the Sixth Ward, swearing that they woiwd clean em ont" aua men return, nut tn bos In th Sixth were too mueh for them and they soon returned to th Ninth. A ih HftMi tiie corner Vine and Court streets OfBoer Conrny stepped np to Arnold 4 and had a few minutes' conversation witn tiro. Arnold walked np toward th polls, and thea ran out Into the street aad, drawing a huge revolver from hts pocket, commenced to fire at random.

The dosea policemen took their ea from Arnold aad. jerklag their revolvers, commenced to shoot In every direction. Over twenty shots were Bred, and It is the greatest wonder that noon waa hit. Previous to the shoot ins Young and Arnold Jumped oa a man In front of the drugstore on Ihe southwest corner of Court and Via streets and knocked bias elear through th show-window. The proprietor of tbe drag store demanded tb arrest, -of Arnold for maliaioaa deatraetton of property, and th fellow waa finally taken to th Minlh-etreet Station.

Young, who sometimes goes be th nam of Bauer, was also taken to the station on the charge of auapletoa. This Is a harg on which a man sua be released by th police at any time without an order from Court, end Young will probwbly be a free man thie morning. Yonng was arrested but a short Umeace on lb charge ot shooting a boy at an ever-the-Rhlne ball, and got ont of tbe trouble by proving aa alibi, la th Sixth Ward, while Arnold and Young were there, a colored Jacob man named Himon bet ton pulled a pistol and might have done some harm had be not been taken away by an officer. He was taktn to th Hammond street Station, but of coarse released. The Lieutenant told him to call at th Chiefs office In th morning and his pistol would be returned to him.

tenth waan raAtfna. -v On of tbe moat outrageous and bare-faeed attempts at fraud ever known la this city was eomroiUed at tbe lastaae of the Republicans in tk lentil Ward, assisted by the waii- known- bnaks stesrsss. Faata threw. ranyin wa morning a gang or repeaters were dlstribated among the varkxis aatootts la Pre elnot A of the Tenth Ward. In a saloon oa Twelfth street were three toagb-looklng eus tomers, two whites and one nero, vhe vera awaiting the orders of aprominont detective, or ht lievteaant, Withrow.

The repeaters came to the vicinity of the noils In hacks or express wagons. The three Individuals referred to above were eon eyed tothesalooa In expreae wsgnn No. 78. The Democrats were a to "Wappy little game, and watched the would-be repeaters very ctosely. At long intervals the repeaters would, oa at a time, go ap lo the polls and try to vote, but were slopped la every Instance before their ballots were deposited.

One fellow called "Red" Sullivan, from the Sixth Ward, who has spent most of ts leisure time In the Work-house, tried to assist bis friend Wappensteta and the Republican cause by voting-, but Frank Ramsey, who was wall acquainted with Sullivan from his request appearance ia the Police Court, told the police to arrest bfm, sad he was lodged In Bremen-street Station house. Harry Wilhrow, who has gained considerable notoriety In the bunko bualneae. wsa quite active in his supoort of the alleged detective. Be escorted more than on of the gang of illegal voters to the polls, bat he did not succeed in voting any of biamen. The detective looked very mueh diaeoneerted at being foiled lo his dirty gam.

Iodeed.be did not recognise bis old Democratle rieada, and appeared to be ashamed of his contemptible work. Ueorg W. Ziegler, who was at the polls, declared that a more open, transparent auterapt to commit fraud he never saw. The Democracy ia the Tenth Ward deserve much praise for the Illegal voters. One policeman, who sported bada 117.

stood behind th rail ins at th Tenth Ward, A Precinct, and had more to say than any on els about the polish. Be made himself obnoxious to many peaceable cltixens who desired to vote without molestation. In the- precinct of the Tenth Ward th Democrats were treated with indignity by the Republicans, who are in a large majority. The larg Democratle tickets posted up for voters to read were torn down, and every thing was done to overawe th Democratic voters. y-: AT the BXBVSWTH WAEO POLL t- All was quiet, but the Republicans seemed mach concerned over th larg falling on ia their vote.

The Democrats were correspondingly Jubilant, and offered to bet tbat the ward wouldn't giv 700 Republican majority, with no takers. the sixteenth ward. A visit to the precincts of tb Sixteen trr. Seventeenth, Eighteenth. Nineteen thand Twentieth wards daring the afternoon die-covered a condition of quiet unnaual to these wards.

In the lower preuinct of th Twentieth Ward two colored men named Campbell and Cburaley bad a fight early in tu morning. Campbell bad scratched Tucker and was going to vote for Oesaert. when CBnmley at ruck him for it, aad would have followed it up bad not tbe crowd interfered. In tb Nineteenth Ward, upper precinct, two ex-soldiers bad a slight fuss. One was an Ex-Union soldier and the an Ex-Confederate.

The latter was working for the Republican ticket and the former for th Democrat ic ticket, and they wanted to flgnt their battles ovar. In the lower precinct of th Sixteenth Ward T. J. Cogon and his friends had a little misunderstanding, but no. serious results followed, SEVERAL SCRAPS.

4 At the polls in Pieclnct of th Fourth I Ward Samuel Humphrey, candidate for Assessor, was knocked down by a rough, aud hnd to go home during the day. At the same polls Fred Slelgelman was knocked down and kicked by a man named Finnegan, but Immediately a dozen of Fred's frieuds bounced Finnesaa and cleaned him out. sielgelman was not disabled. A lot of colored men were tackled by the Nuttle gang at the Precinct A polls of tbe Knurtn Ward and driven awav bv them. Three fellows tried to take some tickets from Jsck Seivers st the corner of Sixth and cm vert atreets.

Jsck knocked one of them through a drug-store window and settled the matter wituout inrtuer trouoie. A man named Smith knocked down a colored an at the Dolls st Knaiua-houae No. lu. Third and Laurence streets. Smith was locked up at Hammond street as abasia Ireener.

Titer were large crowds of men at all of the polls In the Third, Fourth. Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Wards, but aside from the few scrap mentioned elsewhere there wasaquiet time generally at thea polls. The coppers were present in large numbers, and nearly all Doeared to be urently interested la the fate of Boss Jacob. There was not more tban the usual amount of drunkenness noticeable. Some of tbe policemen, however, bad pretty good luck during the uay.

ON THE OUrSXIRTS. In the Twenty-fifth Ward 1,013 votes were polled almost as many as at ths November election. Th pencil was In the hands of alraoHt every voter, and Jacob and Boettger utiered' terribly on the Republican ticket, while tbe same fste was accorded on the lemocratic. This la Spillard'a and Caldwell 'a own ward, and It is not to be sup- nosed that the North aiders would desert their home statesmen. The day passed nntatlT- with no disturbances.1 Means ran like wild-fire, and titer were bat few Jacob ites who balled from the Presbyterian nets.

which were weak. Breadstuff's were firmer though th skies were clear, with some reason to hope that spring will be here by 'Easter. Tn season Is, however, a very backward one, and. many operators think, justifies higher prioss. though -tbey may suppose a temporary de cline to mark the' first days of returning sunshine.

Tbe trading waa mostly speculative, and freight agenta stated that th shipping movement by rail Is quite slow, though a very late opening of navigation Is almost among th certainties. Spring wfieat waa moderately activ and stronger. Th market for May advanced la. and fell back closing )e. abov th latest price of Batarday.

Tb foreign markets were quoted firmer, with a fair demand, and the weather in the North-west was reported to be still cold, while receipts ner aad at other points were, light. It waa supposed tbat th strength was chiefly local, but- the orders from outside were more to buy than to sell, and after these had beea filled th mar ket sagged back under a little pressure from borne talent. Tb leading feature la tb mar ket outside of thla waa th widening of the June premum over May to about on cent, tbe demand being ehleflly for th latter month.

Ctnclnnatirrth iteltef JTlr Company No. 2 and we will take It as tb rallying ery of all th old volunteer firemen of our elty, as being literally, materially and spiritually true in fact, and the splnt of that motto was ths motive power of all their ac tion in saving oar elty from flame and our Use as from destruction. It was th pivotal movement, motive of action and main spring of accompliabmsns of tha volunteer fireman la his strong aad active labors in subduing con flag rations and saving lives.

His theme was a high, honorable and noble voluntary employment a love's labor and it is good and right and Just that th old sur vivors of that worthy employment of an oieat days shoald her assembled. In the majesty of a banquet, to praise and do honor to the name and fame of the old volunteer firemen of Cincinnati. And we have chosen i imoortant and famous day for our feast a day of celebrated memory In th minds and hearts of our tel low-country men tb birthday of th immortal Washing ton and yst fitted most pointedly to this oelebration. For was It not the great fact that tbe sam motive which animated the sool and controlled th conduct of tbe Father of his Country the spring of action of tbe gal lant volunteer fireman Was not nis impulse to action the danger of our citizens, and was it not the tame with'' th firemen? It Is fit tben for us survivors to be her together in peace and plenty, at this feast of good things, at this banquet many memories and re viving friendships, and it will good for us to recur, perhaps, to brief reminiscences, to open th way of reviving memories for us and look1 back npon th past, and so our selves something aa we were. "We wiU revive those times, and In our mem oriea Preserve and still keep fresh.

Ilk flowers In water. Those happier days." Our eity had lu birth In th form of a plain rough, one-story log cabin on tb banks of th Ohio River, near where ts now th north east corner of Main and Front streets, and from this very humble beginning in the month of December, in the year 1788, has this city grown to what It Is in the year 1881. The little village had an existence of fourteen years before th mlndsnf th cltixens began at all to exercised by tbe danger of con fisgration among- their dwellings and stores. They had rested in very eariy settlers in tha then villnaeof Cincinnati until theirdwell in int and other houses began to number between tmo and three hundred, snd the people near to a thousand, before It ever entered their beads that they might all be Durnea up some time before their time even oefore tbey were laid in their graves. In 1802 there mast have been a fire, occurring somewhere in the village, which mueh alarmed th citizens, for then It was tbat th wise heads of tbe then incorporated town of Cin cinnati cot together and passed th first fire ordinance of which we have auy account at all.

That erdlaano baa been preserved in tbe city archives, and it enacted that every head of a family should bsve a huge leathern Ore bucket hanging up conspicuously on the w.luol hk hauH. ta in readineaa for use In tb event or casualty of fire, and providing against dangers oi nr irom carelessness ana BHilceaaa of dtisens under sever penalties. Hut it was not antll six years after thia that tner aeemeo to oe crwtou m. ucowity jwr flra-ena-ine. and then, la th year 1808, th Union Fire Company was formed, comprising Dearly all the young men of the town, and the Select Council procured them a hand fire-engine.

Bui it waa a bad old affair, this second-hand engine from some city of the EuL no doubt and was aiven up. and tbe Fire Company broke op, and again the town was left without an efficient Fir Com pany or engine. In 1813 another fir mnst have bsppened in Cincinnati, tor then a second Fir Company waa organised, and the neool wer asseaaed aud taxed for another re-engine. Thia proved to be a tolerable engine, and was called the Washington (appropriate for this dsy and for and tne organiaea company was named Washington Fir Company No. 1, and now In this yesr 013) the Fire Depart ment or t.incinnatt consistea or mie notaoie Washington Company and one engine and the Fire-Backet Company.

And it ia moat enrioua to observe 111 a I the latter was most necessary and essential to th former, for the men wlln tne leatnern nrc-oucsets suppueu tha men of the engine with their water. There was no ltqee or hose-reels In those days or yore not mousnt ot. In 1816 another engine was ordered and made and another com Dan was formed Thia engine' waa called the Relief, and the company was called the Belief Fire Engine Company no. z. rnia rtenei engine, i believe, exists somewhere in this city or oerhADB elsewhere at tnis very late day.

It was a curious specimen of an engine, as all of ns her at tbe table will well remember a little rectangular box, open at top, works in side open to view, anu nve oraaea on eacn 1.1 Thia. waa the company that adopted and acted upon the beautiful motto of our address, and, as all of us know, wss one of tna most efficient Plre Companies tbst On einnatl aver had. and we are glad ta have thta opportunity ot saying so. Honor inhnm honor is duel On Juae 30, 1819. tb Fir Wardens of Cincinnati were established.

This yesr the town. rjtli a population oi more isian ten iouuhdq people, was incorporated into a city, and the Fire Department began to become a matter of imoortance. These Fire Wardens wer the old respectable gentry of tbe city, and they formed themselves Into an efficient and ei-rui iv. Aaanelation for nrotection of person and property at fires, and well did they do aa all times oi are uanger neir uuiy. invir usefulness was proved through a long course of action and active service from the yesr UUS to 1853, th dsys oi tn pata ire Department.

About this time (1819). too, another Fir En gine Company waa organised, which, wss called Independence Company 'o. 8, and they bad th tniru nre-engine in tne service. This engine, by the way. was lurnlsbed by tbe city, and therefore, although they named tnemseives ana loeir eogiue laatmnueaee, they were not aj independent as they thougbt they were.

Anntner com nan was also at this time or ganized, and this wss th Franklin Fire En-gin and Hon Company No. 4. and In tbe month of May. 18, uiey wer accepted and placed In tha regular service of the Citv Council.

This year General Lafayette vlalteorour city. and great alarm wucrwra dj utuiuiu-tion of the eity on that occasion, aad tbe Fire Department was kept very busy watching after things. Thus tha lr Department snuiaw, not hawing had very much to lo there Having ben so few conflagrations in our city until tb laat at tha year UtS. when tb greatest fir that Cincinnati ever experienced took plao.

This terrible fir occurred on the night ot Friday, December it. i-- ram- mneed la tn eveaing. aun mra o'clock, at tb ecatn-eaatoornerof Main and Third streets, aad burned into th middle of that square, and then spread across Third street mid Way bet waen Mala and Sycamore, i r. u.in atreet where the Commercial National Bank now standi then occupied by tha flre-Droof boildingof tb Branch Bank of tka one famous United stales Bank, if the BsAk of the United never did mack ih.ru. of Cinetnnati.

At this great fire, lasting six or seven hours, th Fir Department of incinnati.

Th dtaaster this great and dangerooa conflagration after ail -a and Suly recounted brought tb cltixens ot Cincinnati now with' a population of over twenty-four thousand people to their ss ootid sober thoughts and their sober senses, and th immediate result wss the formation of th meat eeiebratad iadepeadent Voiualeer Fire Company which vs adoraed Ciaaiaaatl and lta annals. This organisation was effected in tbat very month of December. after th great fire, and, with a splendid Constitution and By-laws, was named The Cincinnati Independent Kngine aad Unas Company."
