The figures of the election in the county are rather against the assertion of the Journal that "three-fourths of the volunteers from the county were Democrats," for the vote cast for Seymour for Governor is seven thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, a decrease from the Presidential vote -- given at the beginning of this section -- of only two hundred and sixty votes, while the Republican vote is onlv five thousand five hundred and <. fifty -six, which is a decrease of one thousand one hundred and fifteen votes from that cast for the Lincoln electors two years before.

The Draft Riots. -- The most conspicuous incident in the home history of the county during the Civil War, after the election of Mr. Seymour, was the occurrence of the draft riots, which, beginning in the

city of New York, partly spread into the county itself.

The troubles in the city began on Monday, July 13, 1863. The New York papers of that day record that the draft was begun on the previous Saturday, in the Twenty-second Waid, at No. ()77 Third Avenue, and that " all was quiet, with plenty of goodnatured joking at the names of the citizens as they were drawn." They also announce that the next place to be opened would be at the corner of Broadway and Forty-fifth Street, on Monday morning. Tims it will be seen that, as in the case of the Fort Sumter excitement, a serious action had taken place on Saturday and that the people had all Sunday to think over it. In the first case the result of the thought had been in the direction of patriotism ; this time it was to be different, owing to the difference in the character of the individuals composing the two crowds. That of IStil was raised down-town among men who were, for the most part, well educated and self-supporting, actuated by a sentiment in which nothing personal was contained.
