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 Methodist Church, in Fort Valley, at 10 o’clock and was opened with religions services by Bishop Pierce.

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.
