Thk Citt Elfotiox.—Never, in the
history of Americus, was a deeper inter
est manifested in an election, either State
or local, than that which took plaoe last
Saturday for Municipal honors. Tho
contest wsa not a political one, for the
candidates on both tickets were all
Democrats. Tho question involved
one of a purely local nature and that was a
change in the present police regime. For
the past twelve or fourteen years, S. H.
Mitchell has held the office of Marshal of
the city, and had become obnoxious
to tho better portion of the citizens, who
were determined to elect a board of A1
dermen opposed to his remaining in of
fice. This they did most triumphantly
last Saturday.
We take this occasion -to miDgle our
congratulations with our fellow citizens
upon tho glorious victory they have
achieved. Everybody seemed to feel a
deep interest in the result, and all work
ed manfully to achieve a victory. The
active part the young gentlemen took in
the contest, is deserving of much praise.
Nobly did they perform their part in the
drama, and to them principally, and two
or three colored, citizens do we owe our
victory.
The election passed off peaceably and
was conducted in a quiet and orderly
manner. We were very much impressed
with the kind feeling that existed the
entire day between the two candidates
for Mayor. The vote polled was a large
one, the largest ever polled for a similar
election. After the result; had been an
nounced, which was about 10 oclock P.
M. the friends of the victorious party,
manifested their rejoicings by the firing
of cannon, display of fire works, and
ringing of the city bells. This was con
tinued until near 12 o’clock, when all re
turned to their quiet homes fully elated
with the result of the day.
Below we give the vote of the two tick-
s. It will be seen that Col. Furlow
beat his opponent 78 votes, while Mr.
Harrol.l, the lowest man on the Citizens
ticket was defeated by only/our votes, a
result that would not have happened
Proceedings of the South Geor
gia Conference.
First Day, Wednesday1
Dec. 14th, 187a fi
The Conference met this morning in

The day was a delightful one in Fort
Valley. The town is alive with Metho
dist preachers. Preachers and people
seem to be delighted with the Conference.
P- HjuTison preached ono of
us inimitable and eloquent sermons in
the Methodist Church, at night, to a
large and appreciative audience. The
theme was : “Then Paul stood in
midst of Mars’ Hill.** We forbear g
forther description than that it was an
eloquent sermon on a most interesting
subject The Doctor is a man of exten-
research and erudition. ]

after some little discussion was accepted
by tho Conference, thus adding one more

was resumed. Tho report of the Com
mittee was adopted- So we ore to have
in Sonth Georgia Conference, as soon
practicable, an Orphan's Home. A bnge
undertaking: a good thing, however, if
carried out.
Conference adjourned until Monday
neit 9 o'clock, A. M.
At night tho Missionary Anniversary
waa held in the Methodist Church. An
immense crowd present was addressed by
Bishop Pierce and Dr. Hicks. Dr. H.
sustained his reputation as an orator and
thinker. He was once a Missionary to
India and can speak with some feeling
on the subject of Missions. Bishop Pierce
sided by others took np a collection
amounting to sixteen hundred dollars.
Sunday, 18th Dco.-Thia has been a
Sunday of no ordinary interest to Fort
Vallqy. Early this morning the people
equestrians and pedestrians—were seen
threading their way to the Methodist
Church, for Bishop Pierce was to hold
forth'|the word of life there. Before ;the
hour for service to begin, the house was
pocked. The Biahop's sermon was mark
ed by deep thought—fine style and great
onction of the Spirit The feeling con-
seqnent thereon was |intensej
Dr. Hicks preached, or rather read a
sermon in tile Baptist Church in the af
ternoon. The Dr. was hampered with
his manuscript. What a pity he had it.
Several other sermons were preached
by other able and .eloquent Minister!
I forgot to state in the proper place
that the whole amount of collections for
Domestic Missions reported at tho Anni
versary by tho Treasurer, including col
lection at Anniversary, amounts to $6,-
400 00. This is a small showing for so
much territory as thst embraced in tho
South Georgia Conference. In view of
tho mengrenees of collections for Domes
tic Missions a number of Missions have
been discontinued. This is n great pity
indeed, but tho Board of Missions acted
wisely, without a doubt, in so doing.
The Foreign Mission collection is also
meagre—bn! abont 81,200 00. G. J.
Allen’s support must be slim if this is the
best tliat can be done.
