Order Observed Throughout the State. rirnt Appearance of the Freed men at the Polls. Success of the Republican Ticket, Ktc. Ktc, Ete.t Ktc, Etc JUFEnLLE, Tenn., August 1. The polls have closed upon one oi ibe most peaceable elections ver held in tbis city, and no reports have been received as yet which indicate trouble elsewhere, thouph It ta diilicult to conceive tbat the elec tion has passed otfin the Interior wbolly with out disturbance. In Nashville there wax a gene ral suspension of business, and people kept their houses so that the streets, except In tbe immediate vicinity of the polls, were almost as deserted and quiet as on Sunday. There was no intoxication and no disorder. A few arrests wre made lor violatiou of the ordinance as to cnrryhip concealed weapons, and a couple of eolored men were apprehended for attempting me ui'mocraue strategy 01 vouni; raoru man once, Kven the isfrancbised were, as a general thing, In good humor, and seemed to make a jest ot the greater privileges of tbe negro. Nor was this good order due to martial effect, for General Duncan bad disposed the military most unobtrusively. A few cavalrymen were picketed in tbe rear of the City llalL, a detachment of in fantry had stacked arms at tbe Capitol, and a horseman quietly watched each polls from a distance; otherwise the military were out of eight. The great feature of the election was, of course, tbe exercise of the franchise lor the first time in any place by the African race of the South. It would have been a curious scene anywhere to have witnessed ht reams of black voters at tbe polls, it was remarkably so in Xennessee. It seemed like a closing tableaux to tbe preat drama just enacted bv tbe nation its apotheosis of.the terrible 6trugele which set free a wbole people; 1867 was curiously contrasted with 1860. White and black, master and slave, freeman and freedtnan, side by side, to-day m Tennessee exercised the privileges of a common Aitizensbip. The newly made voters were up bright and early this morning. Tbeytbrouged the streets in quest of tbe polls long before they were opened. When tbe balloting commenced they formed in long lines, and in an incessant stream posred in their tickets until their wbole vote was received. They were so prompt and steady at this work that nearly tbe whole negro vote was polled by 2 o'clock. The whites generally deferring voting until tbe afternoon, tbe colored citizens had the polls almost entirely to them selves during tbe forenoon. A few Caucasians forced themselves into the rigid Ethiopian tide, and were borne along to tbe ballot-bax; but their numbers were few and tar between. Siueularly enough, many of the negroes were electioneering for the con servative candidates, and perbaps from one tenth to one-eigLtb of tbe wbole colored vote was cast against the radical ticket. Some of the partibans of the conservative side were roguishly palming off anti-radical ballots on their unsuspecting colored brethren wbo did not enjoy the advantages ot a common school education, and who, consequently, voted con trary to their real intention. But Jew were deceived in tbis manner, however. It is still a tact tbat an important element of the conservative vote was contributed bv the newly enfranchised colored citizens. Their radical brethren were not intolerant ot tbis freedom of opinion. They merely expressed their estimate of their degraled fellow Ethiopians, who could vote any otner than a Tad" ticket, by a look of supreme contempt, but offered no violence. No child was more pleased with a, toy than the negro with the ballot. Stoically patient, he broiled for hours in the hot sun awaiting bis turn, each lace ra diant with deligbt, and each hand nervously clutching tbe ballot of the freed man. The race was represented by all the ages of manbood, from the sprucest city boy to the venerable wniie-haired field-hand, wbo was barely able to nobble to the polls, and who seemed as If about to deposit his ballot for the Urn and lost time o his lite; and all shades were present, from the UDnatipau d blackness of the Congo to the fair whiteness of tbe Octoroon, who might lay claim to be wholly Cauca-ian. Tbe cballenpeis of tbe conservatives acted im partially in their duties Tbey aid not seem to manliest any improper desire to impede the votine. Where Ihev knew tbe voter to be quail fied tbey even agisted Litn to a prompt deposit of bis ballot. When it was necessary to ques. tion the voter, tbe well-known ignorance of the African as to dates and time was illustrated; all were over twentv-one vears of age. accord ing to what they were told by their parents and relatives: but not one in a dozen could name his blrihdav. The registration list of colored voters is also remarkable for the long array of distinguished names. Tbe best families of Tennessee, tbe most renowned statesmen and soldiers of the Union since its incipiency, and even tbe glorious cognomens of Roman history, bid tair 4it Ka TtArnnlnArarl in n a Try a at luact oiiinnfr 4 Ka future citizens of Tennessee. It is remarkably quiet under the circum stances, and in the circumstances themselves the election to-day dates an epoch ia the politi cal history ot the country. KiSHviLLX, Tennessee, August 1. I am In receipt of Information from all the principal towns of Middle Tennessee. Tbere was not tbe slightest disturbance during tbe day. All was as quiet as in Nashville. The returns from the different sections of the Slate come in slowly. Every county in Middle and East Tennessee, so far as heard from, has gone radical. Brownlow probably carries every county in the State except two in West Tennes see, and they are doubtful. Middle Tennessee gives him a majority of at least lfi.OOO, Nashville city gives him 3300, and Davidson county over 4000. The radioal Congressmen are elected without a doubt. Maon, who ran in the Nashville Dls tiict as an independent radical on the confisca tion platform, received only a few votes. The radical candidates for Congress lead Brownlow in nearly every distiict. Ot the Legislature twenty out of twenty-three radicals are elected for tbe Upper House, and all but ten ol the eighty-three representatives in the Lower House. Tbe returns in thus far (midnight) indicate a majority in the State tor Brownlow of 25,000, which will probably be increased to 30,000. Memphis. Tenn., August 1. Tbe Slate, muni cipal, and federal arrangements to prevent anv riotous proceedings were so well perfected, and the disposition ot Influential Deople for fair-play so well pronounced, that the election to-day passed off amid a quiet unusual for this city. Not the least disturbance was manifested, not even the faintest of cheers at anv of the noil disturbed the intensity of the t flort that from 9 o'clock until 4 characterized both parties. The challenging was close, and party expedient waa much resorted to by radicals and conservatives to increase their strength. The victory Is with the loifijf t, JU colored m,ea Have Riven. Urowa low a new lease of office, if not of life. The radicals are triumphant in this city and suburbs. There were polled 6238 voes, of which Brown low received 4336, matting his majority more than two thousand. In the county precinct tbe conservatives have a majority ot 113. The official returns will reduce Brownlow's majority in tbis county to fifteen hundred. From other counties in West Tennessee returns are very meagre. Haywood goes radical, Bro ivns ville, the county seat, giving Brownlow 653 majority. Madison county gives 300 conserva tive majority ; Jackson, the county seat, gives Etheridge a majority of 124. Hardeman has also gone conservative; Bolivar, the county seat, gives Etherldgo 152 majority. Fayette county is strongly conservative; no returns have been received. Hearv county gives a small conserva tive majority. The polls were open in but one precinct. Abel and Coleman, conservative candidates in this city for tbe Legislature, are defeated by llyder and Hamilton, radicals. Leftwicb, the conservative candidate tor Congress, is probably elected by a very small majority. General Thomas supervised the distribution in this city ol eleven companies of troops, under the immediate command of Lieutenant-Colonel Townsend, 2oth Inrantry. Tbe General has been well received, and was to-day tendered a public dinner by the leading citizens. Three hundred special policemen were sworn in for duty, and, with oue hundred and fifty metro politans, were placed in squads of twenty in the vicinity of the polls. But few arrests were made, and these were for carrying concealed weapons. The election in all the towns of West Tennes see passed off quietly. Knoxviixe. Tenn.. Aueust L The election for Governor. Congressmen, and members of the Legislature was held to-day. Mutual con ciliations had been previously agreed to by each party to prevent the ring brinenng about a partisan collision or political difficulty. The result is mat to-aaj's election nas Deen one ot the quietest and niobt orderly ever held in this city. ... The colored vote was capt almost entirely in what is Known in this city a East Knoxville. From 10 o'clock until the noils closed at 4 the voting place assigned to the colored voters was crowded. The following is the result as far as heard from East Knoxville, 567 for Brownlow; Ethe ridge, none. Brownlow's majority in the city is 645. In the county Brownlow carries every precinct beard from. Tbe radical ticket in this county is conceded elected by a large majority. Clarkesvhle, Tenn., August 1. The election passed off quietly here to-day. At this precinct 856 voles were given for the radical and 128 tor the conservative ticket. Four adjoining pre cincts give 400 votes for tbe radical and 100 tor the conservative ticket. The remaining pre cincts will give 900 votes, which will, perhaps, De equally divided. The colored vote has been cast at four or five out of twenty precincts, and almost entirely for lirowmow, whose coiorea vote in the county will be 1900 and white vote 600. Brownlow's militia are here. They keep away from tbe polls, and tne disfranchised whites also. The usual white vote of the county is 3000. The Ticket Etoeted. Governor . . William G. Brownlow.

On Thursday, as we learn from tbe Newport (Vt.)

He was frequently asked where he. had left bis peU,coau'i 8na Yar'us use re marks, more sugeestive than pleasing, every where fell upon his ear.

One of the most awful calamities that ever happened in this section of Canada occurred on the 15! hot July, in tne township ol Augusta, whereby the wile of an old pensioner named Lavery and four little children were burned literally to ashes. Tbe Lavery family, consist ing oi me latner, woo is an out man oi seventy ears, bis wife and nve children, occupied a log iouse sixteen feet square, built against a bank. John, tbe eldest ot the children, about seven teen years ol age, Daa Deen for some time past working for his uncle some distance away, but on tbat fatal night had returned home. As soou as he arrived, at rather a late hour, his mother lighted a fire, and prepared him some food. Tbe cook-stove stood in a kind of porch or stoop in lront of the house, and he observed before going to bed, which he did alter eating his supper, aDoui ten cciock, in hi a orist nre was still burning in the stove. His mother retired about tbe same time as himself, and his father and the children some time previous. Tbe room on the ground floor contained two beds, one of which was occupied by this boy John, and tbe other by bis mother and three children, viz., Mary, aeed seven years; James, three years, and Alice, an infant, about six months old. The room above was occupied by the father and Cecilia, a girl about nine years old. In his evidence belore the coroner's jury, John Lavery states that he awoke about midnight and dis covered that the porch where the cooK-stove stood was on fire. He Immediately got up and opened the door, when the flames ourst into the room, rie trieo to open me outer aoor, but it being latched aud hooked, tbe tire drove him away before he could succeed. His mother was awakened by the noise he made in trying to open tbe door and get out of bed. He next attempted to break out the window, but he broke the glass only, the sash refusing to give way. He then ran up stairs and called bis mother to follow him. But a mother's love pre vailed over the motive of self-pre'ervailon, and instead ot Beeking ner own satety she went towards the bed where her children were lylug, to try and rescue them. But her efforts were vain, and she perished wttu them in the names. When the boy went up stairs he found his father had trot out of bed. and he called to him to jump out of the window, which was open. The upper room was then tun oi sruotto, and tue floor and the roof were both on fire. The boy lumped from the window himself, ami then looked for a ladder to assist his father, but the latter b!id meanwhile jumped from the window, his leet being burned by the lire coming through tbe floor. The boy then ran to alarm the nearest neigh bo r, and on his return found nothing but a heap of burning logs, the roof and upper floor having fallen in, and buried the poor woman and her four helpless children in the blazing mass. So speedily did the devouring element do Its dreadtnl work, that not a scream or a groan was heard from tbe poor children or their devoted mother, and soon their scarce distineuishable remains were mingled with tbe smouldering embers which were all that were left of the humble home in which but an hour before they quietly reposed, all unconscious of tbe terrible fate that was impending over them. The boy was nearly naked, and his father per fectly so, when they escaped from the house, and they are said to have shown a remarkable degree of indifference regarding the terrible calamity that had suddenly swept away all the family but themselves. The remains of the little girl who sleit In the upper room with her father alone bore any re semblance to a human being. The legs and arms were burned off, the eyes burned out, and the body reduced to a black, shapeless object, pre senting a horrifying spectacle. The remains of the mother and the rest of the children were a sickening masof charred boues, which it was not easy to distinguish from tbe pieces ot black ened wood and cinders with which they were mineled. Tbey were all gathered together, after much difficulty, and kept lor the inspection ot the Coroner's jury. They were subsequently placed in one small coffin, and buried in the ground adjoining the old Augusta Chapel. CA TASTR OPEE A T NIA GARA FALLS. Particulars of tbe Accident to a Boating Party at Ia Sail on Sunday Names of Vhree Persona Drowned. Niagara Falls, July 29. As another warn ing to pleasure-seeker on the Sabbath, we have to record tbe sad accident happening last evening at La Salle. A party ot live young people, consisting of James Kilts, William Car penter, bis sister, Elizabeth Carpenter, Miss Lena Kobler, and her sister, went out in a small sail boat for the afternoon, on the river, bejoud Cayuga Island, during the tremendous wind which all day blew so fearfully. When about one-third ot the way across, the boat capsized in about elshteen feet of water. Mrs. Angevine, who lives on tbe bead of tbe island, saw tbe perilous condition of tbe party, and tuoueh the wind blew fearfully, went in a small boat, alone, to their assi'tance, followed by Mr. William Waper, who heard her screams, and went imme diately to help, from the main shore. Mrs. Angevine succeeded in saviug Mr. Car penter and one of tbe Misses Kobler, but the other three ot the party were drowned. In a short time tbe neighbors were on the spot fishing and grappling for the bodies, but the darkness and the inch wind prevented success. This moruiDg we repaired to the scene of the disaster, but although four boats are dragging the river, none of the bodies have, up to 11 A. II., been found. Below we give the aeos of the lost: James Kilts, aged twenty, nephew ot Cap tain L. Kiltz; Lena Kohler, aged seventeen, leaves an infant of five months old; Miss Eliza beth Carpenter, aged twenty-two years. Great praise is due Mrs. Angevine for her promptness and courage in going to the rescue; for thourrh used to a boat, still it was a most perilous undertaking to attempt In such a storm to save the lives of others. Mr. Carpenter and Mrs. Kohler owe lasting gratitude to her for the saving of their lives. Parties will continue to search for the bodies as soon as the wind subsides, when we will give you the result. Bvjfcdo Mzpress. AQUATICS. Match Between the Ward Brothers and the at. John's (N. B.)

Meeting of the Republican State Conven tion at Hlrhmoud The Platform of April Last Heamrmed-Mr. Botts Not on Iland-Schlem In the Republican Rank. Richmond, Va August 1. The Republican Convention met to-day in the African Church, at twelve o'clock, lhe negroos were present in tremendous force, filling every available Inch ot space in the building, and extending over the sidewalks for a considerable distance down the 6trcet. The heat waa very trying, and told with such effect npon the speakers that a proposition was made, and very readily carried, that the assembly should adjourn to the Capitol squaro, Where more air and space prevailed. Delegates representing every possible shade of color were present from all parts of the State. Mr. Hunnicutt took the stand and made a long harangue, advising the negroes to look well to the organization of the Convention. Eventually lie subsided, but more lrom the excessive tem perature of tbe place than from any lack ot didactic radicalism. The steps of the Capitol were crowded, and Immediately in front a vast mass of colored men was assembled. It became evident to tbe maraeers ot the Convention that no business could be proceeded within this open air gather ing, as the speakers were hardly heard beyond the limits of the platform; therefore it was de cided that one delegate Irom each town and countv in the State be appointed to meet at the Republican headquarters and organize the bust nees of the Convention. The delegates, to tbe number of about one hundred, accordingly met, and quite a lively time ensued inspecting the antecedents of some of the elected delegates. Mr. Franklin Stearns, who bears the reputation of being one of the best Union men in Richmond, was rejected as a delegate from Henrico countv, and a colored man named Swann put in his place. On exami nation it turned out that BtearnB was elected by one hundred votes at a public meeting, while the other received the suffrages of nearly seven hundred black Loyal Leaguers. After the deci sion was rendered Mr. Stearns spoke for a short time, contending tnatLoval Leagues were insti tutions of which the pob'ic knew nothing; that they were incorrect exponents of public opinion, beingone-sided in the extreme, aud consequently that his exclusion was partial and unfair. Ulti mately it was decided against Mr. Stearns, and he was forced to leave. Mr. Stearns Is the right hand man of John Minor Botts, and the managers of the Conven tion were unmistakably bent upon nulliiying tbe Influence of Botts, nnd making it a purely black convention. After deciding several other caues of admission to tbe Convention, the assembly dispersed to the Cabitol Sauare. where considerable radical Bneechuyinti bad ben going on throughout tne day. Mr. Hunnicutt mounted the rotrum and spoke for over half an hour, detailing the pro ceedings of the day, and asking to be endorsed in the course he had pursued. it was nnaitv moved ov Air. juuus. ot onoiK, tbat the platform ot the 17th ot April be re aoopted, which was done, the assembly acting unanimously in the matter. A colored man named Dr. Baine, of Norfolk, and a balf-drnnken white man named Baker. occupied the attention of the assembly In the square until dark, discussing whether the Con vention should adjourn tiil to-morrow or sine ate. in tne end it was decided oy an over whelming vote that the Convention should adjourn until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. The bsence of Mr. Botts has been a subject of universal comment, and the inference gene rally deduced is that the Convention has suffered a split. Botts and his followers will go In tor a white man's convention. JV. Y. Herald. AUGUST WEATHER PREDICTIONS. Since the demise of Merriam, the weather- wise philosopher of Brooklyn, there has been a struggle between various ambitious astrologers and astronomers to get his mantle. One indi vidual in this city, who sleeps with one eye open on the roof of his hotel, in order to observe celestial phenomena and to record every change of wind, lias for months past regaled the public with predictions of the weather, veuturing a margin of a lew hours and days; but there is another philosopher in this city wbo goes a peg or two higher, and ventares to predict the weather for a month.

The new moon on the 30tb of July, about thirty-eight minutes past eleven at night, at which time twenty-tnree degrees or tue sign ot Taurus are on the ascendant, at the same time the luminal les with Mercury are located in the fourth house, there will meet tbe baneful square of Saturn on the 10th of August, and the oppo sition ot Jupiter on the 26th. These position are indicative of much trouble and many evils under which many parts of the nation will labor for some months to come. In Mew York city and vicinity near by there will be many tires, but of a more serious nature in the latter part of month, and early in September; also accidents Dy steam explosions oy land and water. There will also be maoy crimes perpetrated, poisoning, murders, sui cldeB, etc. I also expect many robberies, as the light-fingered gentry will be very aotlve, and at certain times iu a more daring way, both in New York and elsewhere. Mars afmcts Scotland, Holland, and Manchester. Saturn still troubles Morocco, Norway, Liverpool, etc. Alas, poor Borne I Persons born from tbe 28th to the end of August, more especially at about 5 or 6 In the morning, will have to be careful of their health, live temperately, be very cautious of accidents by fire, firearms, wounds, robberies, etc. On the 2'Jth of tbis month (Ausust) there will be a total eclipse of the sun. It will be over at about sunrise in the morning, therefore it will be in visible to tis. Its influences or effects do not come out this month. N. T. Herald. Fenian Has Meeting In Chicago.

Upon cross-examination, Mr. Knowles said that Mr. Wolston kept a farmer's table, and worked like a furmer. Here the evidence on the part of the wire closed. Mr. Wolston's part ot tbe case was opened by him self He suid that ou account of his motlier-hi-law he and his wife never ilvfd together happily; she fal lowed ber mother's advice tuHiead ol hit. ami conse quently they quarrelled frequently: Instead ol It being f ue that he ever threatened to poison his wife, she really threatened to poison blm; and, wheu be spoke of taking his child, she said that before he should bave It sbe would poison It; on the morning of June 14 he went to Wlssahlckon to get manure, bis purpose being well known to bis wile, and when he returned In the afternoon she and the child had gone away; the servants said she had gone to the city: he never struck her or used any violence towards her; but after June 14 he did not see her.

When be Urst went to the farm he had seventeen or eiitbteen cows, and be requested her to overlook the duiry. whicb she never attempted to do; be gave ber leave to sell Ibe eggs upon the farm, and ue the money for ber own purposes; and If tbe table was at all stinted It was berfuult; there was a good garden there, and persons to attend to It; he had hired per sons to carry on the farm properly, but his wife con ducted herself in a mauner ho ebJecMonnble that he could not keep tbem; he and bis wile bad quarrelled some weeks before she left him, and from that time he did not speak to her nntll sbe went away; he always kept a pistol and billy In his bouse tor protection: she took the pistol from blm; she Instituted proceedings against him, for a divorce, last February; ber father sued blm upon a claim of (AoO, Silt) lor clothing tor bis wlie and t3Kl lor beard; about a year belore the separation she left bis bouse and did not let blm know where she was golug; being ignorant of ber whereabouts, be adverllst-d her as havine deserted his bed and board: It be had known where to hod ber he would not have advertised her.U Alter bis wile had led him be advertised for a housekeeper, and Elizabeth PeraenMne answered tbe advertisement; he bad never seen the woman before, but enaaeed her. and kent her nntll he broke ud housekeeping; be gave this woman his furuiture, which amounted to about 00, Instead of money for her services. In answer to a question by tbe Court. Mr. Wolston aid that he did send his wile's furniture to her lather's honse in the city, but it was at her own re quest. ilobert M. Karly and several others were called upon the part or toe huaoaud, but fulled to prove any thine of Importance. Mrs. Wolston rebutted her husband's testimony by stating mat at tne time Mr. wolston advertised ber in tne newspapers sne naa come to tue eity oue alter noon and returned the next morn ng. She had no in tern Ion or leaving ner husband s borne at that time. The matter was submitted without argument. The Judge remarked that this was a most unfortu nate affair. Tbe two started out In lite under most favorable auspices, and should bave been happy; but, Instead, tbey were In a Court, the wile sulnir lor a sepa rate maintenance. This, perhaps, was the result of two particular circumstances-toe neglect or the rarm and the withdrawal of the husband from the society of his wife, Bhe grew restless, and quarrels and finally separat-iou eunueu. But, when a husband was Instrumental in bringing about such a sad state of affairs, it was bis duly at least to support or aid In supporting his family to the extent ol his means. An order was, therefore, made of (3 per week for the wife and ; per week for tbe child; security lu tstio for compliance with this order. City vs. Patrick Flynn. This waa a claim for main tenance on the ground of desertion on the part ol the husband. Mrs. Flynn slated that sbe was married three years ago; she waa well cared for aud was well satisfied until last full, when ber husband began drinking to excess, and used her so violently that sbe bad lo leave blm to save ber life; his conduct and repeated threats bave made her afraid lo live with him, and therefore she asks for a separate main tenance. The defendant staled that the first serious dinieulty be ever bad with his wife was brought about by his wife, who lnterlered with a business conversation so boisterously that he bad to put her out of the mom. During the whole three years they were married, he said she was not at home fourteen months. He was willing to lake his wife b ck to his home, tteat her well, and give security to keep tbe peace towards her, Ifshe wou d piomise to stay at home aud attend to her household dut.es The wife denied the statement of her husband. He did not strike her, she said, but he had kicked and abused ber. One morning at breakfast he said to her, 'You are only a link between a monkev and a human being." "Oh! oo, sir," she replied, "Well, you are a , then," be added. "You must be Ignorant of the meaning ef that word," she said; "Its a lur-fetched word." "I won't strike you," be said, "but I'll make your nose as red as mine," Ho saying, he took her nose betweeu his lingers, and pulled aud squeezed It so bard and long, that she really did think it had turued to a patent stove. The matter was continued In order to give the de fendant Hue to produce witnesses. FINANCE AND QOM.JS1EUQE. Orrics of this KysNiMO Tbt.zsbaph,) Friday, August 2, 1M7. In some quarters this morning there was re- Sorled to be a slight stiffening of the Money larger, but we could find no substantial exist ence of the fact, lhe payment ot tbe State debt interest, whicb commenced yesterday, necessi tated the withdrawal from the banks of the city ot the funds deposited here by the country banks. The State Treasurer, it was understood, had called upon the country institutions to "fork over," aud tbev had to use every means in their power to comply with the demand. With the exception of this slleht ripple, the rates of money are unchanged, and per rons in srood credit, with Government col lateral, can obtain all the funds they desire at 3(44 per cent, on call. Tbe tact tbat tl.ere is no demand for money for stock pur poses contributes to tbe extraordiuary ease now noticeable. Tbe banks here bave been for a long time unable to make use of the funds at their disposal. On mixed collaterals the com mon rate is 6 per cent., bnt houses in good credit can borrow most of wha they require at 4.
