HOME AFFAIRS.
MACON, BA.. OCT. , ISTa.
THE MOW f ESTEHDA V !
%
BLOODSHED !
An Innocent Man Killotl !
Full Particulars.
It was pretty generally known that the ne
groes had been organized and that they intend
ed to take full possession of the polls, because,
as they said, the Democrats took them last elec
tion, and they wanted a show at it themselves
tliis time. In anticipation of the trouble, the
regular police were armed with rides, besides
their “ billies” and side arms. In addition to
these, there were a great many special police.
THE MAItCH TO THE POLLS.
Early in the morning the negroes marched in
a solid body to the polls, and seemed deter
mined to hold them. They had been instruct
ed by their leaders to hold them. The whites
endeavored to repulse them, but they were so
firmly locked together that they were as a solid
wall; in fact, they were so solid that a white
man, in order to get away from tiio voting win
dow after he had voted, actually
WALKED ON TOP OF THElll HEADS.
They pushed each other in the same manner
they would push a house to turn it over. The
whites were hard at work pushing them back,
but they couldn’t be pushed. A great deal of
scuffling and tusseling now took place. The
Entebprise reporter had a good
VIEW OF THE WHOLE AFFAIR
from a window in the court room of the Court
house overlooking the polls. From this win
dow lie saw the entire disturbance, from the
“ fust brick throwed ” to the last shot tired.—
At half past 8 o’clock, a
BRICK WAS THROWN
against the Court-house, just above the polling
window, breaking into several pieces, which
fell on those voting. This brick being thrown
6eemed to be the signal for a strong pull alto
gether. The brick was thrown by a negro with
a greenish colored coat, who was on the out
side line of the “negro wall.” The first shot
was followed by a
HEAVT FIRE
between whites and negroes. The latter fled
in every direction. Some took refuge in a
sewer, coming out at the end on Cottou Ave
nue, a couple of blocks from the scene.
Others threw themselves flat on the banks of
the branch to avoid being shot. A country
negro was shot just as he was laying down.
Two others were Bbot while running, and then
fell in the branch.
THE POLLS CLEAR.
A ball having flattened itself on the Court
House within a foot of where the precious
head of ye reporter was reposing, he rolled
out of the window on the floor. Upon look
ing out again not more than three or four per
sons, and they were white, were around the
polls. The negroes gave up the polls and
skedaddled.
THE RILLED.
Mr. Wm. Corkill, while coming from the polls,
was shot in the heud by some unknown per
son. He was near the tree between Dr. Payne’s
Drug Store and the Postofflce when shot, and
fell at the feet of Capt. L. P. Murray, who was
standing near by. The following is a list of the
negroes killed as far as heard from: Denni
son Armstrong, Edmund Henderson, William
Day, Frank White, and another, name un
known.
THE WOUNDED.
It is impossible to ascertain the number of
wounded. We hear of them from all quarters.
Very few whites were wounded. Mr. John
Griffin received a blow on the knee with a
brick.
Among the negroes, we give the following:
William Freeman, slightly wounded in the
head; Prince Allen, seriously in left thigh,
George Gregory, in right hand and hip; Hen.
ry Elbert, slightly In calf of the leg; Bob Lew
is, painfully, struck with some heavy instru
ment ; George Smith, seriously, in spine. The
latter was reported dead yesterday, which is
not true. He is improving to day.
THE SPECIAL POLICE.
After the fight, in anticipation of a renewal
of the difficulty, the special Police marched
down in single file, bnt their services were not
needed. The regular Police armed themselves
with rifles, but the affair cooled down and
they were not called into requisition.
INCIDENTS, ETC.
While Miss Emily Truman, sister of Mr. J.
W. Truman, of Truman & Green, was closing
'the shutters of her window, a shot wub fired
at her, the ball shattering the window glass,
and falling in the room. Mr. Truman's resi
dence is at the corner of First and Cherry
Streets, about a block and a half from the
Court House.
Mayor Huff, had just returned from a con
sultation with several gentlemen as to the beat
means of evading the difficulty, and was juet
about to carry into execution the plan agreed
to by them, when the difficulty arose. He was
in the midst of the negroes, and narrowly es
caped with his life, the whites not seeing him.
It is said that Judge Colo, who was looking
out of the window ju6t below us, saw Jeff Long
make a signal by waving his hands three times
and followed thla by firing his pistol.
A rumor says that Jeff came down from a
window in the Court-house and urged his par
ty to take the polls at all hazards, and when
the fight commenced ran and hid in the Post
office, from which he did not make his exit un
til late at night
Before the fight, Mr. John Nelson, of East
Macon, while making his way to vote was
knocked down by a negro with his fist.
Mr. Matt Thornton was roughly pushed by
s negro and while scuffling with him, a pistol
fell on the ground between them, whether from
Mr. T. or the negro, we cannot say. The ne
gra grabbed it, and tried hia best to use it, but
Mr. T. held him too firmly. It was finally
taken from the negro, and he was arrested, but
we believe, subsequently released.
A thousand rumors were afloat yesterday
evening. One was that Jeff Long was under
arrest at the Court-house, and that Pulaski
Holt, one of the Radical candidates for the Leg
islature, was organizing a body of negroes to
take bun out, dead or alive. Another was that
Meaban, the Radical candidate for Senator, had
told his brother, who lives in East Macon, that
they would vote or die, and that he had enough
ineu to back him.
Some negroea when asked why they did not
vote, when everything was quiet, replied that
they did not care to, a they would contest the
election, and they would get their rights any
how —other negroes blamed JelF Long for the
whole affair. Captain llill, it is said, blamed a
certain paper not a thousand miles from Macon,
us buying published incendiary articles, Ac.
SUMMING UP.
In our humble opinion, the blame rests upon
a few Insolent and turbulent negroes who
went to the polls for the purpose of taking
possession thereof, and had influence enough
to cause several ignorant creatures to follow
them. They did not seem to want to vote —
they wanted to keep the whites from voting.
This seemed to be their sole object, and but
for the fuss, the white man would have stood
no showing whatever. We are inclined to
think Hint a great deal, if not all of the trouble
could have been prevented if the following ar
rangement had been perfected beforehaud.
Now that it is too late, we invite the special
attention of election managers to the plan, and
believe that it is the only wuj by which elec
tions can be curried on peaceably and fuirly. It
consists of fences or barricades erected in the
following manner ;
iir
A. Ballot Box. B. Polling Place. C. Col
ored Voters. W. White Voters. *. Pollwuen.
By tills arrangement, mere can be no inter
ference from diner party. A colored man can
vote in the same window with the white, with
out touching llie white man.
Thus ends the sad affair. We only wish
that we will never be a jvitness to a repetition.
Shooting of Mr. Cohkili,.—A chance bul
let lias taken away from our community one of
our best and most peaceable citizens. A man
that never wronged a human being, and who
was as innocent of any connection witli the sad
affair of yesterday as a new-horn babe. He
was not among those that were firing, but
peaceably making his way from the polls, when
the leaden messenger of death deprived him of
liis life. Among his shopmates none was so
universally esteemed and beloved as William
Corkill. At his fireside he was an affectionate
husband; abroad he was the generous and
faithful friend of ail who knew him. But ho is
no more. He has gone to the pale city of the
dead to sleep until the final day. May our
Heavenly Father soothe and comfort the widow
in this her sad hour of affliction.
His remains .were taken to Adairsville this
morning under escort of a delegation of Me
chanics’ Fire Cos. No. 4, of which he was a
most worthy member.
The Great Eastern Abomination gave
two performancos here last Tuesday. With
the exception of the arenic performance, which
was only tolerable, the affair was a perfect
fraud. It advertised six tents and ten lady
riders. There were four tents counting the
candy stand, and we did not see a single fe
male performer. We hope our brethren, of
the Press will pass them around. We intend
to give our opinion of these frauds without
fear or favor, and we begin on the great east
ern aggregated humbug.
————♦ ♦
Robbery.—Mr. Chas.Kemnorc,of this office,
laid down to sleep last night, happy in thepos
session of some $l5B, und awoke this morning
