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 in the day when the children of Israel, osa ■—, , , nation, were governed by those $*£ and r ^ jmdevmy measure calculated to raise rt.cn is a crime accordtng to. toe laws.of toTTr r-~ “ty 1 to .‘ b “ lu .

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 “her on the fourth of November. T® Dawson Journal.—Mr. J. R.

'-'YVe' “‘•eye tlftt there are no appeal cases to he ‘ned to-night, r No Boat .Race..-Wa failure occurred in the nttempt to make up another race between the Cotton . and. Victoria .Clubs, yesterday, nsequeptly the affair did not come off Democratic Meetmo. —A public' meeting of‘colored citizens, in the interest of the L'cmocratic party will be held on Friday neit , at twelve o’clock, (noon). 1 ... -■ .»«' : Ji atteritioiL--’ 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. •" ‘-" ■■J-i v■ A-—- •'• Moutuaby.—The Mortuary Record for, the week ending October 26th, will be fonnd in another column. *It shows the total number of deaths during that, time to have been twenty-one, a decrease of five from the num ber that occurred during the preceding week ending October 19th; and of four, tyom that, of the week ending October 12th.
