in the polk were not opened until near ten
o'clock, with a view to dels; the vote, and
thereby wear; the Republicans who were
waiting to cast their ballots. Also, that the
managers of the election were not, some of
them, of lawful sge, and that citizens of

Bon. UHton A. Candler:
Dans Sib : Yon will please take notioe that
I shall contest yoar right to a seat in tha House
of Represents tires of the Forty-Fourth Con
gress of the United States, upon the following
grounds:
1. That Daniel Pittman, Ordinary of the
ctmMy of Fulton, State of Georgia, upon prop
er Mfelicetion made, refused and neglected,
to establish other voting precinct* in the ait;
of Atlanta, and that by reason of said refusal
the voters of said city of Atlanta and scanty
ot Fulton, did not have free access to the polk
and to cast their ballots. That said city of
Atlanta alone contains a population of over
thirty thousand, and that said refusal was for
no other purpose or reason bat to keep Re
publican voters from voting; and that bjr rea
son thereof, and by intimidation, and violent
abase of Republicans by the city police, and
other officer* of the law, in Pulton county, and
by other evil-disposed persons, not less than
fifteen hundred Republican voters were denied
the privilege of the ballot, and of voting for
me.
Also, that voters who came from the town
of Deeetor aad county of DsKalb, to Atlanta
to wots the Republican ticket, were not per-
mittfwi to do so.
8. Thai in the county of DeKalb, the man
<S?^ot swear any of the voters who voted for
you. bnt did swear votes who voted let me,
and also, refused tbs votes ot parties resident
in tbs district, end over sixty ysars of sge,
on the ground thsi said parties had not paid
a polHsx, which action ra unjust sad ille
gal and to the detriment of the Bepnblioan
candidate.
3. That in the county ot Houston the man
agers of the election at Fort Valley were all
Democrats, and hid themselves from the view
of outside spectators, by means of a ouriain,
and over this curtain many of the white votes
voted twice, and others voted Who were not
of lawful age, and others voted for men who
were absent, (hy proxy,) and others who were
ooufined in prisoc on charge of stealing were
liberated in consideration that they voted the
Democratic ticket. Also, that when the vot
ing was over large numbers of Democratic
tickets wen found around the ballot box, in-
< aide the room where the- Mute was sou-
ducted, and that no Republican manager was
permitted in said room until about one
o'fiock in tbs afternoon, at which hoar the
voting was shout over. Abo, at Ferry, in the
same county, the managers end clerks of eleo-
■ tion wars all Democrats, and
drunk, and compelled every colored man who
desired to vote to Bhow his tax receipt, and
tbea to swear that he was twenty-one years
old, before he was allowed to vote, thereby
oossuming the Urns to prevent others from
voting. That no Democrats were so chal
lenged, or required so to do. Also, that the
said managers at Parry opened an additional
window to tbs one which bad only bean used
during the day, and permitted Democrats to
vote at this window so opened to the exclu
sion of Republicans. Also, at the same place,
large numbers of the Republican ballots
which had been lawfully cast for me, were
taken by said managers and destroyed by fire,
and that by these unlawful sols not leas than
fifteen hundred votes were lost (o
above warned voting precinct* ot For. Valle;
and Perry
A. That at Ttamasteo, in tbs scanty of Up
son, the managers and clerks of the election
were tel Democrats, and fessted managers,
together with the Sheriff of ths county, band
ed together, and by threats and intimidation
drove away from tbs polls some of the lead
ing Republicans who were taking an active in
terest in the sueeeas of the Republican can
didate, and by thia untewfml action, deprived
me oi at least two hundred votes, that I would
have received but for this unlawful and vio
lent interference. Also, that at other voting
precincts in said oonnty of Upson, colored
voters were intimidated sad threatened, and
thereby prevented aud hindered from casting
their votes for me, aa they desired to do.
8. That at Forsyth, in the county of Mon
roe, solo red voters were clubbed by ths Sher
iff bf said county, and others imprisoned for
no other reason than that they wished and
were endeavoring to vote the Republican tick
et, end, that a party so imprisoned by said
Sheriff, in the county jail was told
by said sheriff, u at he should be released
from prison U he would leave town- aad not
vote the Republican ticket To thia ths ool-
ored man agreed, ia order to regain his lib
erty. and was guarded beyond the limits of
tbs team- by the town marshal c< Forsyth, to
prevent him voting tbs Republican ticket.
Aba. that in said town of Forsyth, s local
military company, known as the Quitman
Goards, surrounded the court-house on the
day of deaden, confess; to law. Also, that
at Durden's precinct, in said county, the polls
ware not opened at alt, for ths reason that
these wan a large majority of SepuMieans on
baud to vote, and that over one hundred and
fifty oolorad Republican voters were thus
deprived of the beliot. Alio, at Bolingbrook
‘ i same comity, the polls were not
nd over eighty Republicans there-
_ and prevented from vot
ing the Republican ticket, by which unlawful
action a large number of votes were lost to
the Republican ticket, to the amount of one
•d or more. Also, at Hampton pre
in the county of Henry, the Bepubli-
tors were denied the ballot contrary to
law, to the number of fifty votes.
19. That had the laws of Georgia, and of
ths United States regulating elections been
faithfully and impartially enforced, the ma
jority of the ballots oast in the district would
have been in my favor, and that therefore I
am legally entitled to the seat from the fifth
Congressional District of Georgia, in the
Forty-fourth Congress of tbs United States of
America.
Very respectfully,
J. G. W. Mime,
Late Republican candidate, and now contes
tant for a seat in the United States House
of Representatives, in the Forty-fourth
Congress, from the Fifth Congressional
District of Georgia.
OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
The Death of Mayor Havemeyeb.
The Senatorial Contest.
Bebohrb ys. Tilton.
Talmadge and the Theatres.
Clara Morris’ Marriage.
[spzciaD oomzsroNdeuce of tbs hebxbd.]
New Yobx, Dec. 2, 187L
The sudden death of our venerated Mayor
haa thrown our local political arena into a
state iff wild delirium. The breath hai^not
fairly left tbs old gentleman's body, before
Mr. Samuel G. H. Vance—1’resident of our
j Board at Alderman, end now Mayor of this
city, by provisions of the charter, until the
1st of January, 1875, when Mr. Wickham, the
Mayor-elect, takes possession—was surround
ed by Republican politicians, whom, by flat
tery, and even congratulations, hoped to gain
bis fever. “The king is dead; long live the
king:” was fully mempiified in this esse.
Mr. Vance is a pronounced Republican, and
his ascension to power has set the Democratic
party in th s city on the gvi l ive. A power
ful peessuni will be brought to bear upon
him to remove mate of the heads of our van
our departments, so as to appoint undoubted
Republicans in their stead, who, nnder the
provisions of the charter, cannot be removed
without cause.
It is widely hinted that Governor Dix favors
this plan, and if the commissioners do not re
sign be will sanction their removal. John
Kelly and other Tammany Hall magnates have
been busily occupied collecting evidence
against the commissioners. Tbs evidence
being of such a damaging character as to re
quire their immediate resignation or removal,
but if new commissioners are appointed, of
coarse, the evidence is worthless and it is
labor lost, while the new appointments would
doubtless be so careful, cunning and watchful
aa to defy even the vast power ot Tammany.
In such a ease New York city will again be
o’clock. All the girls will be there. Let the
boys be sure to be there, and see them home.”
Such exhibitions can be witnessed at Tal-
msge’s or Beecher's church every Sunday.
Notwithstanding the mighty eloquence of
Dr. Talmage, and bis predictions of the tor
tures of the damned who attend theatres, the
Black Crook drew last week 14,000 people,
which, at a fair overage, netted $14,000, and
Miss Clara Morris received $4,375 for her
share of two week’s work at the Brooklyn
theatre.
CLARA MORRIS’ MARRIAOK.
Miss Morris was married Monday at twelve
o'clock, very quietly, there being only ten
people present, to Mr. Harriot A., a nephew
of the late Mayor Havemeyer, and quite a
wealthy man. She departed at onoe for Pitts
burg, where she was to play "Lody Macbeth”
in the evening. She is a very praotioal wo-
i, but, judging from the critics, she has
made a mistake in undertaking the “llgiti-
,ta." By the by, it is said that her bus-
band's influence persuaded her to give up the
disgusting bad foul-mouthed Fenob plays she,
more than any other actress, succeeded in in
troducing successfully on tbeAmerioan stage.

morning’s Republic, which shows how the
wind blows.
HONEST HORATIO SIVM jBR.
Hon. Horatio Seymour has written another
letter declining the Senatorship. He gives
as one or bis reasons for refusing the coveted
honor. “If a man is sixty years old and has
not as much political influence in private life
aa ha has as an offioe-holder.then his political
lila is a failure,”
This sage saying may be true when applied
to Mr Seymour and a few other statesmen;
but how many, Ob ! how many lives are mis
erable failures, taking Mr. Seymour's way oi
judging as a standard.
Mr. Seymour’s election has been advocated
by almost the unanimous voice of the demo-
' ' ' vended press of this State.
If be should be prevailed upon too accept,
he will doubtless he elected by the first bal
lot.
THE OCtATORIAL RACE.
Next to Mr. Seymour, the Hon. Francis
Keman, who ran for Governor against Dix
two years ago. has shown the mast strength,
and considering Mr. Seymour’s refusal as
final, will doubles* receive the nomination,
although bis election is not assured, as tbe
Republic of this city, advocates a fusion of
the Regulars with the Liberals, by guarantee
ing ths return of Reiben E Fenton tc the
Senate. As the Republic is tbe administra
tion orgsn here, it would not require much
labor to trace the idea home. Mr. Fenton haa
never acted with the Democratic party, there-
fore, his election is the next best thing to that
of AMUtltf.
Mr. Kama is supported by Governor elec
Tiiden, Mr. Seymour, John Kelly, and most
of the Dsaouratio press, and if the Liberals
art faithful to their pledges, he will be the
next U. 8. Senator from this State. I shall
watch the contest closely, and inform you
•very move.

A writer in the Philadelphia Telegraph, de
scribes a seance at Mr, and Mrs. Holmes's in
that city, says:
What bad gone before was mere side-show
business. The real thing was yet to com
Katie King. While Miss Kin* does not insist
npon absolute darkness, as the other spirits
do, she is particular to and for a shade as to
tbe amount of darkness essential to her for
a proper appearance. The senace was a light
one, bnt the gas was turned completely out,
and in the northwest corner ot the r wm, as
far distant as possible from the cabinet, and
directly behind tbe company, a candle was
placed tn a box, the latter being higher than
the flame; iu front of the box and candle there
was placed a stuffed semi-circular chair, aud
over the chair was hung a heavy shawl, the re
sult of all which was a room so dark that the
features of the most intimate acquaintance
could not be recognized at the distance oi a
yard. No person was permitted to sit within
two yards of the csbinet, and all were obliged
to keep their seats and join hands, and to sing
doleful soDgs, which most everyone did, sqnare
through his or her nose.
Mrs. Holmes informed Mr. Holmes that Ka
tie desired him to take a seat in the cabinet,
which he did, and closed the
door upon himself. In two or three minutes
there were gentle raps heard npon the door,
from the inside. This meant that Katie wan
ted the hurdy-gnrdy played and wanted the
company to sing; that is, she wanted all the
noise possible, in order to hide her tricks.
The hurdy-gnrdy was wound up and set goiDg,
the company sang, and then there appeared at
one of the Utile apertures in the cabinet what
seemed to be tbe ghostly face of a woman. It
stayed at each apertnre by turns for from one
to two seconds. lQdid not slowly form itsblf
into being, as it was reputed to do, but it waa
clearly and plainly shoved up from below, and
it did not dissolve away,‘but was drawn down
precisely alter the manner it was shoved
Being asked to fads away before our sight, t he
medium said it could not do it.
The next faoe that appeared at the apera-
ture was apparently tbai of an old man, bald
as to bead, and bearded as to ohin. It also
was shoved up from below, not forming itself
out of thin air, nor disappearing into thin air.
It was a ghastly, corporeal face. Both these
faces came and went, never staying more than
two seoonds at a time.
The next face showed was said to be that of
Kitie King. It appeared a ball-a-dozen times
in all, at the little dark aperature, and like tbe
others, was pale and ghastly. Both the fe
male laces were half covered up, that is, no
thing of them was exposed except from the
eyebr ws to the chin. Forehesd, ears and
chin were covered up.
Katie King was reqaested to come ont ot
the cabinet upon the floor, but the medium
said she could not. And she did not. Aod
ten o'clock having arrived, the show was over,
and Mr. Holmes emerged from the cabinet,
rubbing his eyes and stretching himself, bar
ing, he said, been in the trance for a long
time. We were then given permission to ex
amine tbe cabinet. We inspected it as care
fully and thoroughly as we were able in the
dim light, and we are oompelled to say that
except in one particular it appeared to us to
be an absolutely honeet cabinet, and it would
have been a poor concern had it not. An
other gentleman entered it with us, and we
said to him, “It looks all right, and fits
solidly from wall to wall.”
No, it does not,” he replied. “Let ns
measure it from the outside.*'
Let it be borne in mind that those rather
clumsy conjurors charge $20 per night for
their show. That it is consequently exceed
ingly profitable to them, and that they do not
permit any fair test, not even ordinary ques
tions, to be applied in the way of explanation
or discovery. They will not let any one enter
the catinet with the medium, they will not let
any one approach it, and they insist upon
both darkness and noise while their shallow
tricks are being played. Compare all they
did on this evening, or on any evening with
the tricks of Herman or Blitz, tricks which
are done while yon are tonohing them, under
tbe strongest light that can be had, and in
tbe silence which follows strict attention to
whatever they do. Those clever gentlemen
generally tell us that their tncks are only
tricks, that they are but Bleight-of-hand, and
yet how mysterious they are, even incompre
hensible. Yet they are only tricks.
We did so, and fonnd that the west wall of
the cabinet did not touch the west wall of the
room by more than two feet, leaving an open
space between them about two feet wide and
six faet ia depth. From the outside there
was no appearance of the existence of this
hollow Bpaee, and when we informed Mrs.
Holmes that it existed she promptly opened a
door, which bore no small reeemblcneo to a
door, bnt seemed a solid part to the oabinet,
and let ns in tbe vacant space. We found
that there was an opening into it from anoth
er room oi the bouse a window, which was
boarded ap and seemed secure.
Bat nevertheless we were then end ere now
thoroughly conviooed^that the boarded win
dow can be and is opened in the space, and
tbat the oabinet can be and is opened also in
to the space so as to allow egress and ingress
without the knowledge of any person in the
room.
These medium*, who are declared upon high
authority to be the very best and most accom
plished of any living, do nothing that is myste
rious, nothing tbat under even leas favorable
surroundings might not be done by the child
that Blitz or Hermann has for a confederate,
or to carry articles off and on the stage. In ab
solute darkness, everybody is bound to sit
still and eltep hands, spirits ere said tc ap
pear, bat no one sees them, aod the medium
admits that they can only talk through her and
and with her voice. It ia true that musical
instruments ore twanged, but they are all by
the side oi the medium; it is also true that
people ore touched witn the guitar, but we

The editor of the Chicago Times has done
what many other men have done, and the
event is described as follows in the Tribune:
Mr. Wilbur F. Storey, editor and proprie
tor of the Times, was united in the holy
bonds of wedlock last night,®to Mrs. Enreka
0. Pearson, at the Residence of Mr. Augustus
D. Lamb, No. 00 Twenty-eight street, by the
Rev. Author Mitchell, pastor of tbe First
Presbyterian church, corner of Indiana Ave
nue aud Twenty-first street This informa
tion will be a surprise to many, as the affair
has been kept very quiet, so much so that even
the next door neighbors bad no knowledge of
it
THE BRIDE,
is a sister of Mrs. Lamb, and was fomerly
Miss Bissell. She has been a widow for the
past ten years; is shout thirty-five years of
age; a brunette of the Spanish type of beauty,
and exceedingly handsome, interesting, and
commanding in appearance, being aboui five
feet six inebea in height, graceful in carriage,
and accomplished in her manners.
THE FREQUENTERS OF THE BOULEVARD,
last anmmer will remember the lady as having
been seen almost daily on ths drive, seated in
a basket-phaeton, behind two spirited chestnut
ponies, with the ribbons in her own daintily-
gloved hands, which she handled with a dex
terity that won for her the admiration of the
sterner, and envy of the gentler sex. It was
doing one of these drives that the lady first
attraoted the attention of iir. Wilbur F. Sto
rey, and from that day
THE DASHING WIDOW
reigned supreme in the mind and heart of the
editor of the Times. After meeting Mrs.
Pearson on tbe boulevard, Mr Storey sought
for and obtained an introduction to the idol
of his affections, paid his addresses, proposed
and was accepted.
THE WEDDINO DAT
was appointed for yesterday, and, in order to
have it as private as possible, the marriage
license was not taken ont until late yesterday
evening. No guests were invited, and, in
fact, only two or three of Mr. Storey's ac
quaintances were aware of his intentioos. A
Tribune reporter.however, heard of the expec
ted event, and therefore gives tbo particulars
of this interesting wedding to the public this
morning.
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY
was performed at 9 o'clock at the residence
oi Mr. Lamb, as shove. The parlors were
brilliantly illuminated, and tastefully arrang
ed with garlands of flowers.
THE OBOOM’s PRESENTS TO THE BRIDE,
were costly and elegant, consisting of a com
plete set of tortoise-shell jewelry valued at
$600, aud an elegant and expensive watch and
chain. The bride’s sister, Mrs. Iamb, presen
ted her with a set of costly and elegantly
wrought bracelets. Other presents were given
to the beautiful bride,but these were the most
notable among them. It is reported that Mr.
Storey, in addition has deeded to his bride

MACON LETTER.
A Few Large Things in Macon, Ga.
To the Editors of the Herald.
In my strolling perambulations through the
Empire State of the South, it has been my
happy privilege to visit the city of Macon,
Ga.. with its wide streets, substantial business
honses, and palatial residences, and its
splendid oolleges and chnrohee. Everything
there (nearly) seems to denote thrift and
prosperity, even in this great day of grumb
ling about hard times and scarcity of money.
Every Georgian should feel proud of their cen
tral city. Macon. There you find the great
Mercer University, the pride of all good peo
ple, and especially Baptists. There are three
other coUeges and qnite a number of high
schools, making eduoationte facilities equal,
if not surpassing, any place in the South.
The hotel facilities are good, there being
some five or six set down as first-class. There
is one, however, that is put down by all the
traveling pnblic as the best oonducted in the
South, and that one is the old reliable and
popular Brown House. It is situated right at
tbe passenger depot, convenient to everybody
and their business. Can get anything you
want there, and at any time. We’ve tried it.
The fare is reduced to suit the times.
There are several manufacturing establish
ments—one cotton factory and three iron
foundries. Tbe Findley, E. Crockett and
Scofield .are doing fine business, and C. F.
Sawyer has another under construction.
The fair grounds there are the most beauti
ful place for that business that anybody ever
saw. Everything about it seems to be in tbe
right place, and reminds one of the Land of
Benlah (we read of at the very gates of the
Celestial City.) And this brings ns to speak
of tbe most wonderlnl man, perhaps, in Geor
gia, who Las more stamina, pluck, indomit
able will and enterprise than any man of our
present knowledge ; runs merchandise, buys
cotton, builds parks and cities and presides
over them at will, and tbat man is no other
than the Hon. W. A. Huff, Mayor of Macon,

Willing to Obliox.—A very prepossessing
yonng lady canvassing for a book, stepped
into the office of a real estate broker in
Springfield, Mass., the other morning, and
finding tho broker apparently at leisure, asked
him to look at her books. Tbe gentleman
politely informed her that it would only be a
waste of time, aa be could not purchase it.
'Ob, never mind that!” ejaculated the viva-
cions young woman, “it will not oost you
anything to look at it, even if you don’t buy.
I should like to have you read some portions
of it and see what it is.” The accomodating
broker took tbe volume and, glancing at the
title page commenced a perusal of the intro
duction. This finished he began at the first
chapter and read carefully and leisurely along,
ft was ab ut 9 o'clock when he commenced
and an hour paBscd silemly away. Then the
book agent began to show signs of nervous
ness, which were apparently unnoted by the
broker, for he never raised his eyes from the
volume but read steadily on. Eleven o clock
came, end the lady began to walk rather
smartly about tbe room, glaucfog occasional
ly out of the windows. At noon the broker
was still reading, and tbe agent wore a deoid
edly troubled countenance. A few minntes
before one c’elock the broker laid down tbe
book, leisurely donned his overooat and hat,
blandly remarked, “That is a very good book.
I am soiry I oannot read more ot it, but I am
obliged to go to oinner. If yon will call m
tble evening, I will read some more of it.”
