Election of a New Council.
On Saturday, the 30th ult, an election
was held in 1 lberton for five councilmen
to take charge of the pecuniary and mo
ral interests of the town. After quite a
sharp contest, the election resulted in
the choice of the following gentlemen :
J. O. Sanders, S. L. Carter, H. C. Ed
munds, E. 13. Tate, Jr, and D. A. Ma
thews.
We think these local contests are pro- j
ductive of good, causing many to inter i
est themselves in local matters who oth- i
erwise would not. The new board is a
good one, and under its administration
the interests of the town will not be
permitted to retrograde.

Ostracism.
Charles McCalla, a negro preacher
living in Elberton, went to fill an ap
pointment in the lower part of the coun
ty last Sunday ; but Charles was unfor
tunate enough to be a Democrat, and
had voted the Democratic ticket in the
recent election, and the negroes of the
neighborhood, who had assembled at
the church, refused to go inside and lis
ten to him. The church is in the neigh
borhood of Nathan Thompson, the Rad
iral candidate for the legislature, and
the negroes of the community are said
to bo particularly strong in their opposi
ton to anything white.
The New Marshal.
On Monday night of last week the
Town Cotfficil held a meeting for the
purpose of electiug a marshal. Quite a
number of worthy gentlemen submitted
their names for the position, rendering
a choice more than ordinarily difficult.
The final choice of Major P. J. Shan
non for the place was a happy solution of
the problem He has frequently dis
charged the duties in the past, and al
ways gave satisfaction. The marshal’s
! salary has been fixed at SSOO per annum.

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT!
RADICALISM ISIRIIIO FACE
DOWNWARDS
1 The election in Elbert last week was
, but anotner warning to radicalism that
that there is no power to galvanise its
i corpse into life. When we consider that
| out of from eight hundred to nine hun
’ dred negro voters in the county the en
tire machinery of the party, with secret
meetings and binding oaths, could dis
! close but 110 who would vote the ticket,
{ we cannot but consider the bloody shirt
! party in Elbert very dead indeed,
i Taking the cause for excitement in j
local questions into consideration the j
election passed off as quietly, we expect, j
as any ever held in the county. But one |
fight took place, and that was between j
two white men, and it was over before I
the marshal could get to it.
Reports had been brought to Elberton j
that negroes from Oglethorpe county, :
and from Abbeville county, S. C., had j
come into Elbert for the purpose of vot
ing the Radical ticket, and a close es- j
pionage at the polls was had throughout j
the day. Whenever a negro presented
himself for voting who was nofc known -
his vote was at once ebaflenged, and he i
was required to take the usual oath. A j
list of these challenged voters has been 1
preserved for future reference.
But for a little incident that occurred
on Thursday morning in Elberton, the
election might have been said to have
passed off without a notable incident. }
West PattersoD, while under the influ- j
ence of liquor, got into a difficulty with j
a negro named Tom Fortson, and the !
latter was badly bruised. Both parties
were promptly arrested and carried be
fore the council. The negro was turned
loose, and the white man was fined sls.
The real cause of the difficulty we were
unable to learn, but presume it was ow
ing to some remarks we heard of Fort
son’s having made to the effect that the \
white people were robbing the negroes j
out of their earnings, and when the 1
white men said they were not doing so j
they lied. If Fortson did use this lan- j
guage and expects to stay in Elbert, ho
had better send for troops.
Wednesday night a cord was stretched
across the public square, and Nathan
Thompson, the negro candidate for the
legislature, was hung in effigy directly
across the street. It is said that this
was the work of the Democratic negroes
about town.
Council Supper.
The liberal hospitality of Dr. H. C.
Edmunds is proverbial among those who
best know him, and the Doctor could
not let pass his elevation to the honora
able position of city father (he has a pe
culiar hankering after the last half of
the name) without a display of his so
cial qualities. Hence, one night last
week he extended an invitation to the
incoming and retiring members of coun
cil, together with a few friends, to a sup
per at the hotel. The table was supplied
with the bounty and taste which the doc
tor and liis lady know so well how to dis
play when the occasion calls for it. The
dishes that graced the table were all
that appetite or taste could crave, while
the wine that flowed so bountifully was
of rare vintage, even for this communi
ty. All went merrily and well until the
lengthening hours called the company
home. It is said that borne kept the
doctor from his couch till 1 o'clock, and
we even heard one report saj that he
bad no opportunity for retiring ti.l 3 in
the morning. Be that as it may, it was
ode of those rare occasions that memory
loves to recall, and will cause the doctor
to be kindly remembered after he has
left the land where hotels are a necessity.

The Election in Neighboring Counties.
In Madison county the Radical candi
date, Mathews (a white man), received
about 120 votes. Of the two Democrat
ic candidates, Messrs Colvard and Tur
ner, the former gentleman received the
largest vote of the people. Mr. Sanders
W. Colvard has very worthily represent
ed his county in the legislature in the
past, and his glory has not yet departed.
In Hart Hon. j. B. Benson was over
whelmingly elected over his Radical op
ponent, and the dragon’s backbone may
be said to be broken in Hart. Mr. Ben
son will do honor to liis county.
In Franklin, Hon. Thos. Cryrnes was
re elected to the legislature. He has
made a most acceptable member.
In Oglethorpe, the regular nominees,
Messrs Smith and Pope were elected,
you may say, without opposition —Johns
Cunningham receiving a meagre sup
port.
We have yet to hear of a single coun
ty going Radical, and Colquitt’s major
ity in the State is estimated at eighty
thousand.
Killed by Mules.
On Saturday, the 30tb ult., Buck
Brawner, a negro, came to an untimely
| death through carelessness. He was
; driving a wagon loaded with cotton, he
| being seated on a basketful of the same
jon the front of the wagon. By a sud
| den jolt the basket and rider were top
] pled over, both falling between the
| doubletree and the mules. The frigh
i tened animals at once ran off, Buck still
j holding on, until the wagon was brought
! up against a tree, jerking Buck from his
! perch, breaking his arm in two or three
places, and injuring him internally. He
j was able, however, to get up and walk
home, which he did, but died in a few
minutes afterwards.
Death of Rev. Henry Tyler.
We were very much shocked to learn of
the death of this veteran of the pulpit,
who died at his home in Hart county last
! Wednesday, the 4th. Mr. Tyler was re
! spected by all who knew him, as much
for his fearless performance of his Mas
ter’s work, as for his straightforward
honesty and uprightness of character.
He died full of years and honors, and
has gone to reap his reward in the better
land.

IMPORTANT HOMESTEAD DECISION BY
THE UNITED STATES COURT.
In the matter of Caleb F. Hill, bank
rupt, in bankruptcy, in the above stated
court Judge Erskine made an import
ant decision. Hill had given his notes
to Willis & Son, and Cubbege. Hazle
hurst & Cos., for supplies. In each of
these notes there was a waiver and re
nunciation of the homestead by Hill.
Afterwards Hill went into bankruptcy
and all of his estate both real and per
sonal was set ’apart to him as a home
stead. Willis & Son, and Ctibbcge,
Hazlehurst & Cos. filed their petition to
the District Judge asking an order that
the assignee use sufficient of the proper
ty so set apart as a homestead to pay off
their debts.
Juuge Erskine held, 1. That he had
jurisdiction of tho cause. 2. That ho
would grant an order to sell all of tho
personalty or so much thereof necessary
to pay the debts as set apart under the
State laws but would sell no part of the
personalty set apart under the five hun
dred dollar exemption of tho United
States Court 3. That inasmucj as the
notes were not witnessed by two witness
es’he would not grant an order to sell any
part of the land. We learn that the
cause will be reviewed by the Circuit
Court.

The New Y r ork Times, of Saturday last,
contained a long review of the condition
of several important branches of indus
try in that city and.records itsjopimon, as
a result, of the search, that the prospect,
in nearly all brunches is better than at
the corresponding period for several
years. It would bo rash to conclude,
the Times thinks, that the improvement
already realized “is certainly to be last
ing and to increase, or that the more
cheerful views entertained by merchants
are fully justified.” But “it is quite
evident that the indications point in that
direction and these are confirmed by the
experience of the last three years.” The
Chicago Times speaks as follows regard
ing the situation in that city: “It is gen
eral y conceded that there is an improve
ment in trade. Money is in abundance,
and, while the spirit of distrust andcau
tian still rules, there is clearly moro con
fidence and faith now than there have
been for more than two years."

This is the kind of language the Re
publicans use in South Carolina. W.
McGill Fleming, a white man and a
candidate for office on the Radical
ticket, recently said in Spartanburg :
“We intend to carry tire election, and if
the Democrats, by intimidation, should
carry this election, there will not be
many houses left standing.” Again, in
conversation witii James Webster and
Elsy Darwin, he said, in the presence
of a number of negroes, in
tended to be elected if he had to wade
to liis arm pits in blood. The white
people had the arms, but we have the
matches, and I will lead the way.”
When asked if he would burn the wo
men and children, he replied: “Yes,
by ; put them in too.” Influenced
by such teachings, it is no wonder hous
es are burned, women ravished, and men
murdered.
