A nrsiAven from California • say's the
Democratic majority in that State exceeds
3,000. The vote is light •
MORE VICTORIES.
On Wednesday of last week an election
for municipal officers - was held in Baltimoie,
and resalted,as is usually the case now-a
days, in a magnificent Democratic triumph.
This result possesses more significance from
the fact that during the War, when the city
Was ruled by bayonets, and two-thirdS of its
voters disfranchised or intimidated, the Rad
icals held complete, and, as they supposed,
permanent possession 'of its government.
Their majority for several years was in the
neighborhood of 3,000, in a poll of 8,000, the
entire Democratic vote being only about
2,500. Now, the political complexion is tho
roughly revolutionized, and out of N,OOO
ballots cast, 18,5011 . are Democratic, and only
the comparatively : meagre number of 4,500
Radical—a majority for the Unioil and Con
stitution of 14,000. This vote indicates a
majority of 80,000 in the State of Maryland,
at the election in November.
In West Virginia, too, the Democratic ball
is rolling onward, and sweeping Radicalism
doWn as it goes along. - At the election last
week the Democratic countie.s increased their
majorities largely,several of the Radical ones
were revolutionized, and it is altogether pro
bable that the great Democratic "ground
swell r has extended over the State. , It only
needs that a Legislature shall be chosen that
will submit a Constitutional amendment to
the people,:relieving the disfranchised major
ity froni their disabilities, to render West
Virginia one of the most reliable Democratic,
StateFrin the Union.
TTIE LITTLE JOKER;
The much disputed question as to what po
sition Gen. Grant occupies politically, is like
/3' soon - to be authoritatively,settlecl, jticiging
by the developments of the present week ,
Since Monday we have had no ifs than three
statements on the subject, each equally " reli.
able," 'and each heartily commended tollte
belief of the public. The Ilrk is from the
Tribune's Washington correspondent, and is
as follows :
NOW YOU SEE IT
"A'Snuthern editor, who has for some time
been advocating the election of Gen. Grant as
President, came to the city last week for the
purpose of learning directly from the Gener
al his political standing. He obtained an in
terview with Gen. Grant, and informed-the
latter that many of his friends who were sup
porting him as the embodiment of patriotism ,
and as the pet representative of the truly con
servative men of the country, had been
alarmed at the position in which Mr. Wash
burn had placed him in his Galena speech ;
that if Mr. Washburn correctly stated Gen.
Grant's political opinions,-he (Grant) was as
much a Radical as any of them. and belonged
-to the Radical party: The editor says that
Gen. Grant replied to this that -he was not a
party man, never had been of any political
party, and perhaps should never be ; that he
voted for Buchanan for President, but had
not done much voting since because of unset
tled residence. The editor further says that
the impression he derived from the conversa
tion was that Gen: Grant will not-accept a
nomination to the Presidency from the Radi•
cals proper, but that he would accept the
nomination as the representative of the Con
servative men. The editor has taken notes
of the conversation,' and proposes to print
them in his newspaper."'
On Tuesday appeared the following in the
- dispatches to the Associated Rress
NOW YOU DON'T sEi; IT
" The 'Southern editor' who proposes to
publish his interview with Gen. Giant, is the
editor of the Atlanta Era,.who, a year ago,
nominated Gen. Grant for President. It be
ing difficult for him to convince his readers
that Grant is not a Radical, he sought this in
terview and now says that he can show he is
not Gen. Dent, of Gen. Grant's staff, denies
his story about his interview with the Gen
eral. The interview, he says, lasted only
about two minutes, and . no conversation on
politics took place." -
This last authentic version having been
allowed to take its course, we on Wed
nesday the following Washington telegram
to the World:
NOW 7T APPEARS AGAIN
- " During Gen. Grant's absence from the
city, some of his friends are emphatically de
iving the corriTtness of the interview which
31r. Bard, the &litor of the Atlanta New Era,
had with him "relative to political parties and
the Presidency, alluded to in last night's des
patches. ,As notes were taken of the conver
sation, the editor in question proposes to pub
lish his own aceolint of it, all denials to the
contrary notwithstanding." -'
After these reliable versions, there can be
no further question as to Grants present:po
litical standing. He is both a Democrat - and
Radical, and may be relied upon confidently
to sustain the principles of each organization.
It• extreme dOctrims will win the way to
Radical favor, the new daily is determined
to secure it. In itsissue of Monday We find
The following remarkable expressions:
" Our Democratic friends continue to ex
pectorate freely about the `Constitution.' It
Is the old, old dodge—the plea of despots, the
bugaboo of hirelings.- ' Why, it may be ne
-tessary to go quite outside the Constitution
for means to preserve the Constitution. When
we serve Liberty most we best obey the Con
stitution !" _ '
Wonderful, hotted! To talk about the
- Constitution is "the plea of despots, the bug
aboo of hirelings!" This, we presume, is the
genuine, orthodox, " true Republicanism,"
which our c * otemporary was established to
advocate. We cannot help but believe that
the mind which can advance doctrines like
the above knows very little about either the
"Constitution" or "Liberty."
Tit, President of the United Stales has
recommended Thursday, November 28, to be
observed " throughout the Republic as n day
of National thanksgiving and. praise to the
Almighty Ruler of nations" for His good-_
nesSAnd loving kindness during the year.- In
all parts of the country .this day should be
religiously kept. We hope the Governors of
the several States will recommend the same
day, so that from one end of the land to the
other we may be enabled to witness the sol
emn spectacle of a whole nation bowing with
one accord in humble thankfblness before the
Supreme 'Ruler of all.
A attmEn of Republican journals in
Northern Pennsylvania are suggesting ex-
Speaker Galusha A. Grow as a proper candi
date for Vice President. —N. P., Tribune.
The Tribune has either been erroneously
informed ; or attaches a different meaning to
the word "number 7 . from what we do. The
only paper that we knOW of, which supports
the ex-speaker's pretensions, is the Titusville
Herald, and though it is a very sprightly
sheet, we are not aware that it comprises " a
number of Republicnn Journals in'Northern
Pennsylvania.'L
Tun IC Y. Tribune of a late date, closed
an editorial paragraph in this language, "If
our party and its nominal antagonist 'shall
'• stand substantially on the same platform in
the next Presidential struggle we foresee that
the result will be; much :like the Scott can
vass in 1852, and - are. quite resigned to the
dispensation." In plainer words, If the Rad
ical party does not come out flat-footed for
negro suffrage, and take up an ontspoken
representative of that doctrine, the Tribune
is perfectly willing to see it defeated.
As Ohio Demoentt - get even with a Itadl•
cal who was feebly crowing over the meagre
majority for Governor, by informing him that
they could have that officer, as nearly his
whole business was to pardon men ant of the
penitentiary, and that the Radicals had much
more need of his services than the Demo
crats. The Governor of Ohio hag no veto,
and in gaining the Legislature, the Democra
cy havetgained nearly everything worth hav
ing in the Buckeye State.

If them-is an American citizen who can
read the accounts of the elections in Virginia
and Gebrgia Without feeling his blood boil
with indignation, lie must be too Tar steeped
in fanaticism to be deserving of a freeman's
ptivilege. A more complete farce, or a great
er outrage upon liberal institutions, has not
been perpetrated since the day when Louis
Napoleon, by his fiunous eonp #71 ,- etat, with
the aid of bullets and bayonets, changed the
Republican government of France into
a monarchy of the most despotic class.—
In Virginia, the State had been so 'district
ed that had the Conservative , citizens
possessed a majority of fifty . thousand it
would have been nearly impossible' for them
to have selected their just proportion of del ,
egates to the Constitutional Convention. The
negroes, as in Louisiana 'and Tennessee, all
belonged to the Loyal League, and were drill
ed therein to cast their votes, , almost unani
mously, for the Radical ticket, while the
white citizens who had not been'tlisfratichls
ed were just as unanimous in supporting the
Conservative. In Richmond, ion the evening
of the prat and second days,' the Conserva- 1
tives had a majority, when the Polls were or
dered to be kept open through the night, in
order to bring out all the negroes who could
be raked and scraped for miles around; to
turn the scales. Even this, plan did' not sue
'ceed in overbalancing the conservative ma
jority, when the polls were again opened on
lite third day, and by desperate labor the
Radical candidates were elected, with the
connivance of the United States army officers
and Freedmen's Bureau agents ,_ in the city.
Of the &ye thousand or more -votes cast in
Richmond, the telegraph informs us, only
some fifty white men voted the Radical tick
et, all the balance of its supporters being ne
groes. The contest throughout the State
was literally one between the rubes. The
blacks everywhere gave their preference 'to
the candidate - of their own color, wherever
one was running, and in every instance where
two of their party tickets were in the field
supported the most radical. The third day's
opening of the polls in Richmond Was a trick,
originated for the express purpose of defeat
ing, the white men's candidates. Up to' the
clove of the second day's voting, they had
contested the field with much vigor, and
when the result was announced in their favor
they retired from the scene, thinking there
was no further need of their labors. In the
meantime, the Radical leaders, by represen
tations that the whole of their Note had not
een cast, induced Gen. Scofield to re-open
the polls, in three, wards, but subsequently,
for causes best known to himself, he closed
two of them, leaving the voting to be all
done at one. "Here," the telegram says,
" the negroes rushed ea masse, and the ex
citement rose tOthe highest pitch. The streets
became blockaded, and nothing but the ter
ror of the bayonet maintained order. Dis
turbances occurred frequently, which were
promptly quelled by the application of cold
steel, quite unpalatable to the new citizens.
The whites became terror-stricken, and were
driven away from the polls, and at once the
scale became turned. At BP. 31 the voting
still continued in the Third Ward, on the
part of the negroes exclusively. The whites
relinquished all hope, and are entirely crest
fallen and extremely indignant . at what they
consider an outrage." It will surprise no one
to learn that by means like these, the Midi
(tals succeeded in obtaining a majority
of 409 in the city, and the only wonder
is that' it was not ten times that - number.
The returns from the State indicate the elec
tion of thirty Conzservatives and sixty Wi
elds. Eighteen of the latter are negroes. Thu
total vote polled is 194,198.. Of this vote
104,289 were for a convention and 59,180
against it, the majority for a convention be-
ing 45,109 ; 89,•533 negioes voted for the con
vention, and *029 against it; 15,756 whites
voted for, and 58,033 against a convention.
The most conservative,infinential and wealth-
est State in the Solidi is thus thrown entire
ly under the control of the negroes, and her
able men; whose reputation is part of the
common.; fume of the country, -are thrust
aside, to give place to. the Hunnicutta, Sco
fields, and others of the same•elass, who are
a disgrace to their race.
The few scattering reports which we have
from Georgia, show that the election there
was almost a repetition of the Virginia farce,
The Conservative whites, however, refrained
from voting, knowing the .uselessness 41 so
doing, and left the whole thing to be run by
the negroes' and their score of debauched
white leaders. The Convention, under such
circumstances, is of course decided - upon,
and its members will nearly all be Radicals.
In Savannah the votes of many negroes who
did not reside in the State were recorded,
and a Boston mulatto named Bradley is elec
ted a delegate to the Convention. Hosts of
negroes cast their ballots whose names were
not on the registry lists, and a number had
forgotten the names they were registered by.
In Georgia, as in Virginia. the negro is ma.s
ter of the day, and henceforth, while Radi
calism holds sway at Washington, the white
men of the South are in be kept under the
heels of a race whom nearly two-thinls of
the States of the North have pronounced
St to be entrusted with a share in their local
Government.
Every intelligent and reflecting citizen who
reads this record will easily discern what Is
in the future if the Radical experiment of re
construction continues, to go on unchecked.
It will be contrary to the whole history of the
Caucasian race if the white men of the South
submit to be tamely domineered over by the ig
norant, half civilized and brutal beings whom
a fanatical Congress has attempted to ele
vate to the full dignity of " manhood.': .
war of races is as certain •to ensue as the
coming of to-morrow's eve, and when it does
occur it will be the most cruel and desperate
recorded in the world's'auitais. The picture
is too shocking to-contemplate, but such as
it is, it owes its whole character to the wick
ed, unpatriolic - and unconstitutional attempt
of the Radical majority, in Congress to per
petuate its party power at the expense of the
best interests of the nation.
THE Radicals have suddenly been smitten
with an amazing fancy for what is known as
the Crawford county system of making nom.
inations. In two or three of their strongest
counties it has lately been adopted, and the
current seems to be hr favor of its general
acceptance. The Titusville Herald, in coin
mewing upon the popularity of the system
elsewhere, states what we all in this section
know to be the truth, whew it says :
"It subjects every candidate to all the haz
ards and hardships of a double campaign, for
the primary meeting is or,even greater im
portance than the general election.. The can-,
vacs begins several months !earlier than was
customary under the delegate system, the
people are everywhere "stirred up" by war
ring factions, and the contest within the par
ty is invariably characterized by all the ani
mosities which • usually obtain between the
opposing political parties. The prejudices
thus engendered seldom pass away with the
occasion. The party becomes "a house di
vided against itself,' • * * *
The plan of direct voting by the people was
first put in practical operation by the Repub
licans of Crawford county in 1860, and there
have been personal animosities engendered
by its operations within the ranks of our own
party, which will never pass away. But the
system is evidently more popular with the
masses than that of conventions.. If ,the vo•
ting_could be confined exclusively to the 'le
gal Republican voters, so as to secure a full,
fair and honest choice of candidates, without
the intervention of that class of personiwho
trade and traffic in primary meetings and
conventions, it would be less liable to abuses.
But to accomplish this it would require a
yearly.registration, and involve even greater
labor than is incident at a general election."
Ix thirty-five counties In. Indiana the De
mocracy have made gains on the vote of DM
aggregating 11,610. Had there been State
officers to elect there can be no doubt but
that the Democrats would have been victors=

Republican, the present incumbent, awl of
0. P. Fltzeeznld, Democrat, for Superintend

'WM:DELL PHILLIPS is very munch exorcis
ed over the recent elections. He has issued
through the columns of the Anti-Slavery
Standard, a manifesto to his Republican fol
lowers, in which he denounces the people of
Ohio as "selfish," and says Pennsylvania 'is
"alwdys in the market." "What shall-we
do?" exclaims this madman, And he answers
himself by laying down a ptogramme for the
Jacobins, the principal, features of which are
thus expressed : "Impeach the traitor of the
White House." "Hang out the banner of
impartial suffrage." "Throttle the President."
"Teach men to forget Ohio and Pennsylva
nia in the blaze of a fiercer onset." Such is
the banquet to which the Radical leaders in
vite the people!
Onto and Pennsylvania will probably have
lively times with contested elections. In each
"State the complexion of the Legislature is at
'variance with the popular majority. In Ohio,
the election of the 'Governer will be contest-`
ed, on ;the fround that he was elected by
fraudulent negro votes; and there is a strong
probability that the Democratic Legislature
will see its way clear to declaring Judge
Thurman legally elected Governor. Some of
the minority members from close districts,
will very probably be sifted out, and the eke
lien of.a Democratic successor to Ben Wade
made more secure. In Pennsylvania, on the
other hand, the negro party has fall control
of the Legislature,- and will be very apt to
tindef6ke to figure Judge Sharswood's small
majority, and to reduce the number of oppo
sition members among .themselves. Such is
the tendency ,of politicians, and never was
Sure a better show for a batch of contested
elections than at present in Pennsylvania and
Ohio.
A LETT= written from Mississippi to the

majority in• that State will exceed twenty

Republican party," and that "five men will
- rule Mistissippi," by controlling this negro
vote.. It adds that "these men are not our
best meal" Let us, alter this confession, bear
no more of a "slaveholders' oligtfrehy." What
worse form of oligarchy could there .be than
a voting force of sixty thousand negroes
(twenty thousand in majority) controlled by
five men, and they not of the best? Can the
South be "reconstructed" properly under
such a despicable oligarchy ? Can the coun
try be. reclaimed from impending bankrupt
cy and ruin through representatives sent
to Congress by such a vote controlled by
such men ?

Since last year the Republican vote has
fallen off 14,000 while the Democratiq vote
has increased 30,000. Since 1805 the Demo
erotic vote. has increased' to the enormous
number of nearly or quite 42,000 votes. The Re
publicanshave been beaten,not by their voters
absenting themselves from the election, but
because 14,000 of their number, 'having be
come convinced that the Republican policy
on the negro end on the bonds was wrong,
deserted their standard and voted directly
the Democratic ticket, which they have hith
erto opposed. This of.itself made a change
in the Smte of '28,000 votes, or nearly two-
thirds of • the Republican majority of last
year, The'*mainder of the change was
made up of the young men—new voters—
.who have almost unanimously ranged them
selves on Democratic side.
• WHILE the declaraticin of President John
son that he will not yield his office excepting ,
in obedience to the forms of law and the Con
stitution, oppresses the digestion of his Rad
ical defamers, Gen. Sherman's opinion on im
peachment, as obtained from reliable sources,
may set uo better on their stomachs. Gen
eral Sherman said that such- an attempt
would be clearly revolutionary and should be
resisted by the President with all the means
within his control. This declaration was
made to those who had a right to know his
views, and may have suggested the propriety
of his return to assume command in this
Department. A correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Post says: "Such, also, was the sub
stance of an opinion expressed by General
Grant, when approached on the subject
during the last session of Congress, by. the
Chairman of, the House Military Committee.
Mr. Schenck declared to his Wendt; that be
fore taking any extreme action in the premi

When the subject was mentioned, Geri. Grant
promptly responded, in substance,lhat any

The Poor Tax Quelstion AgOin.
• EDITOICOP ERIE ORSEUVER..-I notice that
in your last week's paper; you call attention
to the fearfully rapid increase of our" C4moty
Poor Tax," and expenditures. It is to be
hoped that the " Press', of the county, with
out regard to "party politics," will continue
to ventilate this matter until there is a refs rui
in the management of the "pauper depart
ment" of Erie County.
To show the extntvitgance of our county's
expenditures it is only necessary to notice
that according to, the only
S. census' of 1800,
(see page 50, Miscellaneous Statistics,) the en
tire poor tax , of the State of Penna., for that
year, was $367,610, to a population of 2,906,-
115, which was twelve cents. and three trills
to each inhabitant of the State. This amount
includml all, expenditures for purchase of
grounds and the erection of new buildings.
he expendittires ihr support of poor alone,
in this county Ibr 1867, is given by the cor
respondent of the Gazette at not less than
$25,500, to which add the amount paid to in
sane hospitals, for the support of insane'poor,
which was last year $1,410, (and may be
more this year,l and you have $26,910. The
population of Erie County in 1860 was 49,432,
-to 'which add for Increase, 20 Per cent., and
you make the present number 59,318, which
shows an expenditure of forty-Jite cents' and
three mills 'to each inhabitant, almost four
times the average of the State in 1860, which
latter included all new buildings and real es
tate purchased, whilst ours is for " support"
alone.
Take this •estimate for 1868, for " support of
poor," land here I might say that every esti
mate for four years past has fallen short of
meeting the expenses,) $35,000, and you find
that it is over fifty-nine cents to each inhabi
tant of the county, almost five times the av
erage of the State for 1860. Add to this the
.proposed tax- of $75,000, for building pur
poses, and you have the sum of one dollar,
eighty-three - cents and seven mills of aito(tr
tax to each ' ono of the inhabitants of Erie
county, against State average of twelve
cents and three millsin 1860.

Rights.” -
The Richmond Dispatch comes to us' full
of recounts of riots among the colored tieo
ple doriog;:the election Int:Tuesday, from
which we extract the following:
TILE FIRST DISTURBANCE.
At about half-past 9 o'clock in the morning
a colored man (Davis) started up the steps of
the old Market Hall, (First Ward polls,) with
out intimating to any one what ticket he in
tended to vote. presently some one whis-
Vereirdiat the man wrufgoirig tit Vote for the
ticked headed by the name of Colonel. Joh
nson. In a moment the crowd caught the
whisper, and from man to man,
there was an outetf dr "KM that rascal! Hus
tle him out! He is going to vote the rebel
ticket." The report was true, and the poor .
fella* who liad dared'to approach the polls
with a conservative ticket, terrified by the
bawling veke hf the-mob, thought best../.0
beat a retreat. Up Main street he ran, towards
Wall street. with a crowd of negroes at his
heels, exclaiming "Hang him! Hang him to
a hump-post." The police immediately gave
chase, a squad from the station joining those
on duty at the polls, and the race promised to
be exciting. Davis was caught by one of the
mob before he had run a square, and the blacks
were preparing hi ernest to lynch him, when
several pollee officers reached the. spot and
succeeded In seliingtwo'r)f the most violent
rioters. The young men were very boister
ous, and unawed by uplifted batons, stoutly
resisted arrest. - The crowd now filled the
.street, and was so dense as to impede the'
passage of vehicles. Officer O'Dwyer was
felled to the ground, and received a severe
blow on the back ; after which. the police
found it necessary to wield their batons right
and' left, in order to preyeat the rescue of
their prisoners, who now were held by four
men. But their progress toward The station
.was again obstructed by the mob, and it was
feared that the rascals would escape, when
several mounted soldiers-galloped to the spot.
The federal cavalry did not hesitate to draw
sabres when the people - did not obey the
sergeant's order to disperse. But just in the
nick of time more efficient assistance arrived.
A squad of the Eleventh United States in
fantry, under the command of Brevet Lieu
tenant-Colonel Hartwell, pushed their way
tlfrough the mass of men, hustling the rioters
out of the way with little ceremony. The
orders of the *Colonel were quick and deci
sive. The soldiers deployed as skirmisher*
matched and counter-marched, and finally at
the point of bristling bayonets, cleared the
streets. The policethen secured their prison
en, anti carried them to the cage at a double - quick, while the military kept back the
clamorous crowd. Meantime, the Unwitting
cause of the disturbance made a successful
retreat, and has not since been-heard of.
ALMOST A BLOODY RIOT.
The'first disturbance of any kind that oc
curred in the Third Ward took place about
half-past 2 o'clock, and but for the Timely
appearance. of a squad of cavalry would have
resulted irt a bloody riot. It appears that a
respectable negro named Ed. Kennedy voted
for Mr. Franklin Sterns (the modentte Re
publican -candidate from lienrieo) ut the
'Bacons Quarter precinct. Afterwards .he
came into, the city, went to the polls of this
ward, and mentioned the fact of his having
voted for Mr. Stearns. Immediately the ne
groes commenced to heap upon him .such
abusive epithets tes "D-4.1 Conservative
traitor," etc., and made threatening demon
strations. Kennedy then walked off up
Grace street, followed by a crowd of negro
boys from seven to tburteen years of age, who
made use of the most abusive epithets, such
as "13--d rebel.". "White man's boot ticker,"
and pow and then threw stones and dirt at
him. A short distance in the rear of the boys.
came-a number-of negro men, who encour
aged the boys to insult Kennedy. He paid
no attention to the rowdyism of the brats, but
walked on to Foushee street, down which he
turned towards Broad street. Half way
down this street be wee met by two of the
city police who dispersed the boys,but with
out making an arrest, they being too fleet-foot
ed. The negro men who had -followed the
boys, seeing this, kept on up Grace street to
Jefferson street, and turned down in order to
meet Kennedy at the intersection of Broad
street and Brimk avenue, knowing that was
the route he would'have to take to reach his
home. Kennedy quietly walked to Broad
street, and then diagonally across it to Brook
avenue. By this time the negroes had also
reached Broad street, and on seeing him
yelled got, "There is the traitor now!" "Kill
him!" "Seize him rt and rushed toward him.
4IE negro . narued Winston'Jnekson was the
first to 'reach Kennedy, and it is asserted,
diew a slung-shot to strike him. At this
moment Captain Epps and Mr. Kennedy, of
the city police. eaine up and arrested Jackson,
while - Kennedy (the colored'man) was taken
charge of by . a number of white men, who
placed him in a wagon and rapidly drove
him out of danger.. Jackson, on being ar
rested, made the most desperitte efforts to es
cape, at the same time appealing in the most
frantic manner to the negroes to rescue him.
The negroes nt first-did not seem disposed to
Interfere; but when a number of negro
women rushed out of the houses in the vietni
ty, and urged them on by cries of "Rescue
him!" "The' pollee are killing hint!" "They
will murder him !" "My God, they will mur
der him !' " Colored men, to the rescue !"
ite., a general rush was Made by them, and.
the prisoners would undoubtedly have been
taken from the pollee. andthey badly beaten,
perhaps slaughtered, but at this critical mo
ment a squad of cavalry dashed up Broad
street from the direction of Enehanan Spring,
whirled around into Brook avenue, -and
charged through the shrfeking, -infuriated
mass of negro men and women at a gallop,
scattering them right and, left, but without
injuring any one. The negroes at first were
much confused at the new turn of affairs, and
made no further demonstration for about a
minute ! after the lapse of which, they made
another effort to get at the police and the
prisoner. The membeni of the squadron im
mediately turned, drew and presented their
pistols, and ordered the crowd to' disperse.
They shrunk back, gavb one frightened look
at the death-dealing muzzles, another at the
determined countenances of the cavalrymen,
and quickly sought places of shelter, some
getting behind the barrels on the sidewalks
in front of the groceries, others went into the
stores, while much the larger number fled in
haste from the field. The police then carried
their prisoner to the station-house at the cor
ner of Marsha) street and Brook avenue,only
a few paces distant from the scene of the
disturbance. The_ prisoner resisted and
yelled loudly for assistance, but of no avail.
fle.was takk'n into the station-house. The
cavalry then left, and the negroes, who &Jew
moments before had made thentselva scarce,
now collected in large numbers around the
station-horse, but did nothing save making
use of threatening language.
The affair just related, happening some dis
tance from the polls, occasioned very little if
any excitement there and the voting was
quietly proceeded with, no disturbance what
ever occurring until just before the close.
Then a colored man (whose name we were
unable to learn) voted the Conservative ticket.
This was announced, and the negroes became ,
excited, and immediately rushed towards the
unotTending man, and were about to maltreat
him when he was Seized by some gentlemen,
placed in a. carriage, and driven off before
the now infuriated mob could get hold of
bitn. They pursued the carriage a short
distance, but finding they could not overtake
it, returned, muttering direst vengeance
upon the next colored man who voted the
Conservative ticket and upon the white men
who defended him..
