The PitEsroENTiAE Election—An Order
nion Bullock.—We learn that an. order was
received from Bullock yesterday stating that
the Ordinary must appoint the Notaries Pub
lic and ex-officio Justices of the Peace ap
pointed by him, to superintend the President
rial election; and designating Philip 3JL Rrii£
geih Jr., to preside at the city polls. .-
While we have no objection to Mr. Russell,
we cannot see by what 'authority Bullock,in
terferes with matters which don’t belong io
him. He has no more'right to say who shall
hold the election in this city than we have.
We would very mnch like to know who it
is that issues these orders with Bollock's
name to them. He is represented to be in
Mew York and yet orders come from Atlanta
signed “B. B. Bullock.” Of course ho can
send instructions by telegraph; but what is a
paper worth, legally, to which some other of
ficer signs the “ Governor’s ” name ?
A Grant and Cold Facts, “Meetln.”-
Bestiality.—A’ warrant was yesterday is
sued by one of our Justices of the Peace,
against a white man for bestiality, which was
witnessed by the parties who caused the war
rant to be issued. He had committed an of-;
fence which is forbidden by the laws of Moses
(as contained in the book of Levitacus, and
for which he woald have been stoned to death
their pieces. While it was in process of c on
struction the freedmen lounged about, in all
the dignity of free and independent citizens
of African decent; Kate goober peas and
doughnuts, talked politics, and eyed every
white man who came near them, as though
they considered him as something almost be
neath toeir'notice.
About one o’clock the stand was completed,
and about twenty-five darkies at once crowd
ed up and occupied the seats upon it. At the
back of the. concern a canvass banner Was
displayed, which announced to those who
could not read that the Republican nomina-:
, tions for President and Vice President were
Ulysses S. Grant and Schnvler Cold Facts.
It wad furthermore adorned with what ptlr-'
ported to be portraits of the two candidates,
done in oil and highly colored. The repre
sentation of Grant would reasonably have
passed for the portrait of a Fegee Island war
chief, ;who had been on a spree for a couple
of weeks, and had bis left eye banged up in
the eparse of a “shindy;” while Cold Facts’
face looked as though he had taken some
thing: disagreeable, and was suffering bad ef
fects therefrom. The star spangled banner
floated from the top of a pole, and another
^starry flag was used as a table cloth.
About one o'clock, the Chairman of the
Conference Committee,” Isaac Seeley,, ar
rived, and was greeted with applause by the
crowd. He called the meeting to order, and
the band, consisting of three freedmen, armed
with a cracked fife, a kettle and a base drum,
attempted to" play a patriotic air, to call up
the mourners. Their music was a failure,
and instead of being patriotic, was a'regular
old plantation breakdown. By this time the
crowd numbered about three hundred men
and women, -and was a rnotly assemblage. It
was composed -of delegations from the conn- ;
ty, and some of the city negroes, and paid
but little attention to the speakers, its com
ponent parts being principally occupied in
chatting with each other, and watching the
movements of the daquer posted on the stage,
who gave the signal for applause.
The music being ended ; Seeley arose to
make bis speech. Ho had a'good deal to say
in the way of congratulations. He congratu
lated them that they had ’been made free; he
congratulated them that they had been made
soldiers, and that during the war the “colored
troops ionght nobly';” be congratulated them
that they had been made citizens, and now
possessed the right to vote. He further con
gratulated them that where once stood slave
pens, school houses had been erected and
churches bnilt; be congratulated them; that
the hand which once was shackled, now was
free to deposit the ballot; the feet which once
were shackled were now free to proudly bear
a free and independent citizen to the polls.
The congratulations occupied a long time in
delivery, and when concluded the speaker
commenced to “argify. ”
He would go over the records of the two
political parties, he said, and prove to them.
which it was their best policy to support.
The Republican party had made them Jree,
it had conferred civil rights upon them; it
had maintained those rights; it had made
them citizens, and conferred upon them
the privilege of taking part in- the
overnmont tinder which they lived,
’lie Democratic party held them in slavery;
it caused secession and precipitated the coun-
try into a war; it opposed the civil rights bill,
the freedmen’s'bureau bill, the reconstruction

nation, were governed by those $*£ and r ^ jmdevmy measure calculated to raise

Fight Between two Women.—Two women,
Rebecca Williams and Virginia M. Doyle,
were before Justice Phillip M. Russell, Jr. ,
yesterday, on cross warrants which they had
caused to be issued against each other for as
sault and battery and breach of the peace.
Each woman had a lover, and Rebecca ensnar
ed the one upon whom Virginia, bad set, her
affections, apd Jenny took possesion of Re
becca's fellow. The . latter werit.to Jenny’s
bouse, fonnd her man there, became enraged,
and a fight occurred between the two. Both
were placed under bonity to appear before the
City Court, and to keep the peace.

The Gbecian Bund.—For the benefit of
the lady readers of our local columns, we will
give the opinion of a countryman who saw a
case of Grecian bend. He said that it looked
like a crook-necked squash which had. been
struck by lightning. "
Toots says “its of no consequence,” but
he would like to know whether a truly Mi
lesian turn-up of the nose is a Grecianbend.
Being referred to tlie journals of fashion for
an answer, he made a mistake, as usual, and
when last seen was searching Webster’s Dic
tionary for the information.
Desertion of Seamen.—There is always
great trouble among the shipping in^oort, in
busy seasons, caused by desertions of seamen
from vessels. After having shipped for the
voyage they run off, and receive the bounty
and advance pay offered by other ships, which
have not a full .crew. A. number of sailors
yesterday ejeserted 'from a ship in port, and
I warrant fqr their arrest was issued by Jus
tice Philip If. Russeli, Jr.
A Novel Invention.—We tested yesterday
an invention by which an ordinary chair can,
by the means of a simple contrivance, have
ah the attributes of . a rocking chair. . It is
known as “ Blake's Spiral Chair Spring.”
The agent for this city/will call on the .va
rious owners of arm chairs; along the Bay
(and we roughly calculate- the number at
something over a thousand) and show them
the luxury of the invention.
Bollock’s Navy.—Bollock signs himself
“Commander-in-Chief of thaArmy and Navy”
of Georgia. We have long been at a loss to
{plow where the navy of Georgia could be
Ferine}. We are reliably informed that it con
sists 6f a in'ad scow Which is being eonstract-
to convey the''Georgia Radicals np Salt

freed themselves, raised themselves to the
ignity of soldiers, and finally to citizenship,
fe had extracts from Robert Toombs’ Atlan
ta speech, upon which he took occasion to
comment, after repeating the old and worn-
out sing-song about his calling the roll of hiB
slaves on Bunker Hill. He also had some
thing to say about their being discharged
from work for voting the Radical ticket; and
said they had the same right to make their
employers vote their way; and if they refused
then the freedmen might discharge his em
ployer and go off to the country beyond the
Mississippi, where the Government Would
give him one hundred and eig hty acres of
land, and the planter might be left to do his
own work. He was proud to be called a
carpet-bagger. Stephen A. Douglas, Henry
Clay, and all great Americans were carpet
baggers, as was Henry S. Fitch, whom the
Democrats voted for to go to Congress. He
was proud to be classed with these and' such’
as these. He tried to tell them how it was
that negroes did not vote in Northern States,
and said that it was all the fault of the Dem
ocrats." He notified them that- the poll tax
was suspended, find'they would not have to
pay it, and concluded by proposing three
cheers for Bullock and three for Grant.
Seeley having unanimously elected himself
Chairman, proceeded to introduce Booby
Clift, who came briskly to the front, to act-
dress his colored friends of Chatham county-
For such a small boy he had a great deal to
say; but we recognized the speech as one de
livered by a New York Radical, at a Cooper
Institute, meeting, altered and adapted to
suit the occasion. He gave a load bantam
crow over the Radical successes in Pennsyl
vania, Ohio And Indiana, but did not have a
word to say regarding West Virginia. He
indulged in glorification ‘ of Grant and de-
nounced: Seymour, whose friends_-had muK-
dered riegr<ity,''Shcg)pkd ! pieces from thfeir
bodies, and "’'fattened Irish babies on- negro
flesh." He had been folly woked up, and it
took him some time to rup down, but he
finally subsided, and Seeley introduced
James Porter, negro, who was expelled
from the Legislature. Somebody had written
off a long speech for Porter, which he pro
ceeded to read. It did not appear to interest
hjs hearers, who talked, laughed, and made
so much noise that all his eloquence was
wasted on the “desert air;’’ not one word of
it being distinguishable, although we tried
hardto'catch a few stray sentences. One
who was close to the stand informed us that
the speech was full of falsities and decep
tions. ' 1
James M. Simms, ex-“Bev.,” ex-Memberof
the Legislature, next arose. He hadn’t much
to say, but occupied a very long time in say-
, ing if. He prooeeded to arraign the Democ
racy for turning him out of the Legislature,
and declared that it was like unto the surren
der Of Gen. Robert Anderson, at Fort Sninter,
in 1861. Thpt .officer had done the best he
could, but was compelled to give way, lower
his flag,'band snrrender fhe place.- So with;
him; fee'had done the best he eould, but had
been forced to give way. Re . said that the
blacks had gained' the right to vote by a rev.
olution, and that.it would require a bloodier
revolution to take it away. He proceed
ed to enlarge upon this point in an incen
diary manner. He. warned the >;Democrats
that if they pursued . their present line of
conduct there,vfould be a tearfol retribu
tion when General Grant was elected.
He said “we will remain peaceable; law-
abiding .citizens if we may, but devilish,
fighting,"burning: Citizens if we must.” Here
in Chatham- county they had not been
disturbedap their right of free speech, and
in the exercise of their privileges; but up in
the State they murdered and Jbeat radicals.
He did not know whether the white people
of Chatham were actuated by a feeling of the
head or of the pocket, but they had not at
tempted to disturb the colored people. He
had ^declared hia purpose to "see his people
AstaWi8btBi*i*P» or
dead he intended to carry it out. He then
heSmtoirfority Grant, had a gdbcp deal to
sav about. God Almighty, anq( finally an
nounced his intention to “move upon the
enemy’s works,” on Tuesday next He coa-
cludfed by reading a long address to the
colored people, issued by the negro Conven-
tiohReld at Macon.
Dr. ,J) WTcm,was .next brought forward
by the irrepressible Seeley, whose risjsg
caused an .oW negro WPiqas to exclmm,, “I
gol, if dat ore red-head iqan am t gitbn up
n.” Another said' that Seeley-was eam-
inc his eight dollars, and their subsequent
conversation led us to the belief that he re
ceived' that sum. for each day^. service as
Contyessman Clift’s Aeech was prmcipaKy
in glorification, of Grant and denunciation^ of
Seymour, but his voice was weak, and the
tumult in the crowd so great that very_ few
of his remarks could be beard, and these
were not of inrich' importance,. '-After.tellmg
a story about somebody or other playing
“old sledge,” he closed Ms Remarks.
CoL C. H. Hopkins was the- next speaker,
his speech was mainly of the same tenor as
those former!;
that he was
stam between
how'as the leader of the -blacks ho liad er-
cited his influence in favor of law. and.order.
Many a time, but _for hia..iute^yention, the
city wpuld have been plunged into anarchy
and riot And because of his political prin
ciples he was persecuted and proscribed. Let
the first crack of a pistol he heard, and we
would have all the horrors .of an ■ intend cine
war. He had been in favor of General Grant
-ever since the second or third vear of the"
war, and he believed him to be the greatest
hero that the world ever saw. He declared
that General Bluir had set fire to a house iu
Georgia and burned up a young lady and her
child just bom. He said that the Radicals
woald carry Chatham county by three thou
sand majority, and that the whites," finding it
useless to struggle' 'against the ' jidptilar
tide, would turn around arid vote' for
Grant. As one of the Electdfihfe Wotdd hav&i
great influence with Grant when’ elected, and-
hewonld exert it on behalf of his people.
. He was a native born Georgian and was proud
of it, and that hehada light to his political
opinions; hut, while men 'never ■ thought. of
interfering; with--each other -on account .-of
difference of religious beliet-they :had inatty- .
-urated unjust political proscription.
Cob; Hopkins spoke. at length, and was
succeeded by Cob A_ W: Stone, and. others.
The meeting was generally, orderly^ through-'
out, and did not break np Untii dark. Brad-
ley was on hand, and it is reported - that in
consideration of a snug sum of money, "he
has backed- out of the .Congressional race.
The ineeting was composed entirely of ne
groes, although numbers of white-citizens,
attracted'by curiosity, stood on the outskirts
of the main body. "There were nine or. ton
white men on . the stage. “Let us have
peace.”
Handsome Conduct of a United States
Officer—Civil Law Respected. Our readers
will remember that on Thursday of last week
we gave an account of the very disorderly
and riotous conduct in the streets of two sol
diers. One of them, named James Riley,
had struck a negro woman on Charlton street
lane, near Barnard street, for which he was:
arrested by policeman Sullivan. On the way
• to the Barracks, one of the soldier’s com
rades came up behind the policeman and in
terfered with him,'declaring that he.should
not take Riley to the lockup. Riley resisted
at the same tune, and broke loose from the-
officer, who followed and caught biih back of
the Theatre. The other sbldier then came
up and interfered again, trying to pull Riley
from the policeman. Aldermen. Hunter and
Brigham, who were passing along the street,
came up, and attempted to preserve order;
but the soldier said that he didn’t care ,for
the Aldermen or anybody else, and threatened-
to shoot somebody. Finally be was seized by
citizens. Sullivan went off to the Barracks
with his prisoner; and, after scuffling with
his captors for a while, the other soldier was
token to the United Slates* Barracks by the
Sergeant of his Conqiany.
, The case having come to the notice of Col.
Meynardier, the commanding officer at!this
point, he very handsomely testified his re
spect for the civil law by having the soldier,
whose name is James Beatty, arrested, and
yesterday morning he was sent under gnard
to His Honor Mayor. Anderson, .before whom
he was tried for riotous and disorderly con
duct, in attempting to rescue a prisoner from
a policeman who was acting in the discharge
of his duty, and for threatening to shoot Al
derman Hunter.
The witnesses testified to the facts as above
related, and-Beatty.having nothing to say in
defence, was sentenced to pay a fine of fifteen
dollars and to be kept in confinement for
thir ty days, and in consideration of Cob Mey-
nardier’s courtesy, it yvas ordered that the
sentence be carried oUt underhissupervis-
ion at the United States Barracks.
The best of feeling has always prevailed
hetweep the .military and civil authorities
;here; both cordially co-operating at all sea
sons when necessary for the preservation of
the, public; peace. It gives us pleasure to
publish this mark of respeet for the civil au
thority on the part of a .gentleman and. an of
ficer of the Pnited States.army, who, for the
present, is clothed with certain powers in our
midst .Offences against civil law, committed
by soldiers, are too apt to be overlooked or
considered: a 8 trifles by their officers; but
Cob Meynardier, by his conduct in this in-
istance, shows that he considers his troops as
liable to the" operations of civil law as any
other class of people; and that he will not
allow, them to violate it with impunity.
Houses to Rent.—There is a great demand
,;ih this city for houses, and yet a great num
ber appear to be offered for rent. The trouble
is that prices are entirely too high to meet
the views ofthose who wish "to secure a place
to live in. The consequence is that homes are
broken-up;-and the boarding houses sought
as harbors of refuge. Here, also, the land
lord’s heavy demand for the use of his tene
ment is felt, in the price' to be paid for eom-
fortable boarcb, ft requires a veiy good in-
com^' to .meet ’expenses in this city.
YV6 see- no means of relief except through
the medium of a street railroad, and we hope
that the day is not for distant when one will
be in operation. Then we hope that "enter
prising capitalists wilT' build upon the lota
back of the Park and Jail,- tenements not too
large to be within the means of those whose
incomes are Uinited. A'second city could be
built up there,-aud if the houses were of the
proper descrip'tiqp, comfortable, neat in ap
pearance.' and'well-arranged, they would find
tenants immediately,, and many who are now
compelled to board out would have homes
of their own. That section could easily be
drained and rendered healthy, and with a lit
tle display of architectural taste, that waste
land might be made ope of, the most beauti
ful portions of the city; while the railroad
-would make it convenient to business.

inaidioris wiles of No. fl whiskey. was up be-
fore His Honor. yesterday morning, for being
drank, and firing off his pistol in the streets.
Mr. S. bad nothing to say, and.consequent- :
ly did not occupy, much time in saying ty
Having loaned theMayor four dollars, he was
dismissed.
Charles Burroughs and Thomas McClena-
han were on a little serenading party, on
Monday’ night, and they went abont the streets
Singing “Wearing of the Green,” very njrich
to their own Batisiobtion, but not to the de
light of the people whose rest was disturbed
by the noise. A .policeman, told them several
times to be. quiet, but they kept up the noise .
until he took them into custody. Burroughs,
the officer said, appeared willing to stop, but
McClenahau positively refused to obey the
order. His Honor dismissed Burroughs, and
fined McClenahah five dollars.
Joseph Smith, a colored seaman, from the
West Indies, went on a voyage of discovery
among the grog-shops of the city, to see
whether the tumblers were all of the same or
different sizes. In the process of measure
ment he became very drunk, and went to bed
on a stall at the market. Being ordered
away, he refused ’to go, and gave the police
man who awakened him, a good cursing,- Joe
was fined five dollars and costs.

It is said that the proprietors of the- cele
brated PiaLNTATIONBiTraRa r rent rio less than- -
nine pews from .the different denominations
in New York oity for oll those of their em-
ployees who v ill occupy them regularly, free
of charge. This is certainly praiseworthy,
and it is to be hoped that others who employ
a large number of people, will fallow the ex
ample. The above fact, accompanied with
the belief that a firm who would look so
closely after the morals and welfare of their
employees,'-" would not undertake to impose
upon Ure public,, has.intfocsd JWLto give the
