MACON. DECEMBER »70.
Fin*r Day of .th£, Election -_Kob Violence
—!m& Militaef Cl£iij£D Qfli 4-We regret to
b$ cklfed,upon this'.morning fo chronicle the
first public disfmbaBC^- qn,-onr streets, .of an
alarming character, that' has ever occurred
here; an$l, at.tim same time, wo are glad to say
that before it had got nnder hendwey it was
quelled and order and quiet restored, by the
coolness, daring and firmness of our city offi
cials, assisted by a few bravo citizens and the
military.
The election had proceeded quietly all lh«^
morning at tho City Hall, where was assembled*
a great crowd of negroes from the Erp^onnding'
country'and citizens of Macon. Occasionally,‘
a negro or a white man would'appear on’the
ground with concealed weapons about him, and
when it was discovered by the officers on duty,
ho was immediately arrested!'and. taken to the
guard-honse; but, about noon, a man was ar
rested ,fof voting twice' or illegally, which
seemed to exasperates crowd of negroes, and
they determined^) make an effort to rescue the
prisoner. The prisoner.was in charge of offi
cers Hurlyj Daves and'Granger, and when the
rush was made upon them, they drew their pis
tols and ordered tho negroes to stand back.
They succeeded in keeping them off until they
had got near tho engine-honse of Hook and
ladder Company, on Poplar street, when the
negroes, seeing a wagon near them loaded with
small green poles for firewood, rnshed for it
and armed themselves, while others of them
seized rocks, bricks or anything they could lay
hands upon, and with these they again assailed
the policemen having the prisoner, who by this
time were reinforced by several others, includ
ing a few citizens. But on the negroes rushed,
whooping and jelling like so many infuriated
devils, the police and citizens still calling upon
them to stand back, as if dreading the alterna
tive of opening fire. At this moment, officer
C. H. Daves was strhek a heavy blow with the
half of a briok on the left shoulder, which
knocked him down. Seeing that words of re
monstrance could no longer avail anything, two
• shots were fired into the squad of negroes rusfc-
' ing upon the police with np-lifted club.?, rocks
' and sticks, and two of them were wounded—
one mortally so, it is thought.
'While all tbis was going on, white citizens
were running hither and thither, arming them
selves ns quickly ss possible, and then retnrn-
to the scene cf the conflict. The police force
of the city were now well togother, and sur
rounding their prisoner they drew their re
volvers and ordered the mob to bear back,
slowly falling back themselves. At. this junc
ture, several prominent citiz.^'oravely sprang
in between tho negrow. and policemen, to pro"
vent a is ion and the use of fire arms, firsi
among whom was Col. J. Q. Deifz, to whom,
more thr£ r.uy one else we saw, averted the
threatened bloody onslaught. His Honor,
Judge Carlton B. Cole, with his long, white
locks and commanding mien, also threw him
self in front of the negroes and urged them to
advance no further. Several other gentlemen,
Whom wo do not how remember, also acted
very bravely and prudently in quelling the in
flamed passions of both blacks and whites, and
while thns engaged, the cry came that the mili
tary were approaching, and, looking np Poplar
street, all saw a squad of United States soldiers,
coming down at a dnnblc-qnick, with Mayor
Huff and Major Layton, of the lGth United
States Infantry. Arriving on the ground, Mayor
Huff immediately ordered the crowd to disperse
and tho streets to bo cleared, or he would order
a charge of the soldiers, and they in connection
With the whole police force .of the city, soon
SCaHcied the crowd and peace and order were
restored.
We cannot praise our bravo and handsome
young Mayor and bis small police force too
highly, for their cool, firm and gallant behavior
on this ocoasiou. And the thanks of oar citi
zens arff also due to Major Layton for the cool
ness, discretion and firmness with which ho as-
sisted the Mayor and city officials.
Some eight or ten of the more prominent ne
groes engaged in the ossanlt npon the police
were arrested and marched off to jail nnder the
eye of the military force, and it is likely they
now see that neither the military, Mayor, police
or citizens will tamely submit to an outrage.
In conclusion, it may not be amiss to say a
word'to these negroes who brought ou the diffi-
cnlty yesterday. It was none of their business
who the police arrested, and when they under
take to dictate in snch matters they can spring
a fight almost at any time. If tho police arrest
n man, it is between them and the party arrest
ed, and the courts decide who is right and who
is wrong, and it is a felony to interfere with an
officer in the discharge of his duty. Therefore,
every negro who took part in tho assault upon
offioers.Hurly, Daves and Granger on yesterday,
not only endangered their lives, bnt laid them
selves liable to a long term of service in the
penitentiary. That fifty or one hundred of
them were not killed yesterday, was owing to
the great forbearance on the part of the police
and those citizens who sprang to their defence.
It is a great wonder they reserved fire nnder so
great and pressing a provocation as was offered.
We solemly warn the colored people to abstain
from snch conduct, for if they do forco a colli
sion with the whites and the sworn officers of the
[«v, they will me the day on which it occnrred.
The whites of Georgia will not be overrun by
lawless and irresponsible negroes, and the soon
er they learn this fact, the better it will be for
them.
The Election.—The second day of the elec
tion passed off mnch more quietly and. peace
ably than the. first, and throughout yesterday
there was nothing of a riotous character trans
pired, although several parties were arrested,
among whom was M. J. Edgerly, the -Radical
candidate for Clerk of the Superior Court. He
took his position immedialy in front of the door
where votes were' polled, and by signs with his
- fingers was telling one of the Radical managers
what voters to challenge as they-handed in their
ballots. Several gentlemen who were watching
Edgerly from a window in tiro Hall immediately
over tho eleotion room, and were satisfied of
what he was doing before they took any action,
reported him, and had him arrested for Unlaw
ful interference with the election, and he-was
marched off. The circumstance caused a slight
Btir among the negroes, but they were careful
to abstain from any efforts to release the pris
oner. James Eitzpatrick was also engaged in
thiannlawfol business.
There was a pretty heavy vote polled yester
day,- bat fell short of what it was the day be
fore. Tho majority of votes cast yesterday were
democratic, and bnt for the fact that negroes
from B&lwin, Jonas.asd Houston ooncties were
permitted to vote^ihfi. democracy would have
been in the ascendant licit night; We urge every
democrat, every patriot, every honest man in
* Bibb county, who has not voted at this election
to oome to the polls to-day and vote the straight
democratic ticket. There is not an unworthy
nemo npon it. All are gentlemen of integrity,
purity of character,- and of sterling worth, and
’ If elected will honor their positions and fsith-
-fully and honestly serve their conatitntents.
A New ’ Feature lit • Recoottbuotton.—The
Mow York Commercial Advertiser is scandal
ised at the late-feats of'ho-called Soot hern Con
gressmen, and sy»-“if these things continue
the oerpet-bagteni will have ta be weeded out.”
'Who sowed these fo'i'ieal teres?
t - Bibb County. Majorities.
There are so many groundless ideas abroad
about the go-caliel Radical majority in -Bibb'
county, that-it is well worth while to take a.
glance at (he actual facts in the cas^k Areal
Radicil majority in B'bb county 'dSfinot be
found, in our. best judgment, any whejp else
than in the groundless conc'its of a few radical
politicians. - —
iho election of ISGS-was’held for fotif days
under a registry, and every jnpotioablo device
was resorted io by tlje.’Ridjpata'wjiich th§ situ
ation admiyid. ' The Telegraph of that day is
full of complaints,.pot only, from Bibb county,
bat from aU.otber neighboring counties; so
.that we may assume that .the Radicals did their
very utm03t,tq. pile up a^m'ajority. When- the
four days weys oypr, and the votes were counted,
the following was declared to be the resnlt of
rhe canvass for Governor, Congress, State Sen
ate and House'of Representatives:
- Boilopk for Governor 2,192—Gordon 1,910—
Bullock’s majority 282. Gove for Congress
2,147,Lochrano do. 1,900—Gove's majority 241.
Speer 2,157; Stafford 1878—Speer’s majority
279. For tho House, Turner 2,178, Fitzpatrick
2,120, Frankes 2,093; Sparks’1,904, Ross 1,901,
Collins 1,837—average' majority .253—total av
erage Radical'inajorifylOGi. • Now. this election
was held nnder what wa3 known as the Omnibus
Reconstruction Bill. It was decided by Con
gress and onr military Governor that, as one of
the questions of that election, was the adoption
of the Constitution, the provisions of the- Con
stitution itself, with regard to the qualifications
of voters, conld not be of force. Under the
provisions of this act every man was disquali
fied from voting who had taken an official oath
to' snpport the Constitntioii of the United
States, and subsequently engaged in or aided
tho “rebellion.” Under this disqualification a
large number ef onr citizens were shat out from
the suffrage—in Bibb county alone, probably
not less than 300. All these being restored to
tbo suffrage under the provisions of the State
Constitution in force, they alone will offset the
Radical majority.
Now, that is the only eleotion we have had
in Bibb county since reconstruction, except
the election for President in November, 1808,
wherein every citizen of the State conld vote
who happened to be in Macon at that time.
The actual vote cast by Bibb county, in tho
Presidential election, was, for Grant 2,918 —
Seymour 2,194; showing, npon the part of the
Democrats, on excess of 284 votes, which, no
donbt, was dne entirely to tho gain by relief
from disqualification—this election being the
first one held tinder the suffrage qualifications
prescribed by the Constitution. But the Radi
cals gained on their vote cast in the four days’
election, 720, which, every body knows, were
TCt" -f HC“oeS fro'Ji Jones, Twiggs, Houston,
Monroe, Jasper and other neighboring counties.
Tho fact of this imported strength was noto-
rions to every body on the day of election, and
the resnlt declared was no snrprise. But it will
be clearly seen from this statement that the ac
tual Radical majority in Bibb county, npon an
honest poll, don’t exist at alL If shown^Jiy tho
figures, it most be fraudulently'< t mannfac'tnred
by. importing, repeating, and. other arts of po
litical knavery.
Tlie Wolf anil the Lamb.
Prussia is re enacting the Fable of the Wolf
and tho Lamb with poor little Luxemburg—ap
parently determined to fasten a quarrel upon
her anyhow, which may serve as a convenient
pretext for swallowing her in the iniorcsta of -
“German Unity.” Poor Luxemburg protests
that she never—no, never did violate the obli.
gationsof neutrality. Bismarck tells her she
lies, and has been acting so badly as to justify
any punitory measures whatever. Russia claps
Bismarck on the shonlder and says, “Go it, my
boy! the charges you prefer will justify yen in
annexing Luxemburg. Posh your qnarreL
Yon know we want a little land down here which
don’t exactly belongto ns. You annex and well
annex, too.”
Holland, which olaims jurisdiction of part of
Luxemburg, grants her dissatisfaction at these
proceedings, and some of the English papers
have been hurling editorial thunderbolts at
Prussia abont it; bat others of them admit that
England is bent on keeping the peace at all
hazards^ and ‘ has already signed her abdica
tion” as a great power in the European political
balance.
The Grand Dnehy of Luxemburg lies be
tween Rhenish Prussia and the French Depart
ment of Moselle, and is a most convenient, if
not essential, addendum to the territory the
Germans mean to incorporate from France. It
has an area of 2,550 square miles, and a popu
lation short of half a million. If this acquisi
tion is made, it is the beginning of a systematic
deglutition of the whole of Belgium, and for a
grand movement for a German frontage on the
English Channel.
There seems to be little donbt'that Prussia
and Russia have a perfect understanding in re
spect to the plans of each for acquisition and
aggrandizement None of their schemes and
aspirations clash, and, with mutual countenance
and pupport, they can defy the other powers of
Europe. The new balance of power established
by these gigantic empires is indeed much like
the balance established by the worthy Puritan
fathers of New England with the ungodly sava
ges of Africa, Asia and the North American
coast, whereby the white trader’s foot, in one
balance, represented five pounds weight in pep
per, spices or furs in the other. It is an all-
prevailing balance, which will weigh heavily and
admit of no successful question.
What it Disclosed.
The Courier. Journal is conspicnoualy exact in
its declaration that the debate on Senator Mc
Creary’s Arlington resolution assures us that the
Radical party is a war party; that the Radical
leaders are war leaders; that the Radical spirit is
a war spirit. It tells ns plainly that there is no
hope for a inulnaland lasting peace, and a Union
of reciprocal benefits and obligations knd senti
ments, whilst the Radical poliey holds the as
cendant in the Government of the oonntry. The
passions that oozed ont of a turgid and muddy
mettled inoendiary like Scott were matched by
the dirty rhetoric of Morton, who, being himself
an abstractand walking chronicleof disease,
naturally overflows with excremental staff. All
the rest were of the same material—foul, false
'and venomous. There are bnt three of the nine
Senatorial defamers of Robert E. Lee who
oould not be purchased for a consideration.—
There is not one of the six who does not know
himself to be a scurvy rogue and villain, with
his hands soiled by pelf.
Carolina Election Laws.—The grand jury
of the United States Circuit Court, now in ses
sion at Columbia, South Carolina, presented
the State election laws as unfair and unequal,
and calculated to open the door to fraud and to
breed strife. The empljmentof the military
to superintend city elections they pronounced
a fruitful sonroe of mischief. The constabula
ry force in the .State they presented as an evil
of {be greatest magnitude. 'With respect to
the late disturbance of the public peace in Lau
rens the grand jury attribute tbis to violent and
incendiary speeches. Judge Bryan, in reply,
concurred in the opinion of the grand jury as
to tbs operation of the laws and system in
force.

Results of Sheridan’s Visit.
Tho following from a French paper shows
very plainly that Sheridan’s visit to, and sojourn
with, the Prussian army bore very loil fruit.
The oondnet of these Prussian officers would
have done credit to the very bravest members
of the band of Yankee hammers and house burn
ers who ever plundered and barned “to save
the Union” in Georgia, nnder Sherman, or in
the Valley of Virginia, nnder Sheridan, himself.
If these titled robbers will come oyer to the
United States, the Radicals will givo them all
fat offices:
An aged widow lady of noble birth, and occu
pying a high position in French society, owned
in the environs of Paris a small oonntry house,
which contained portraits and family souvenirs
accumulated during many generations, as well
8$ various mementoes, such as in old age rep
resent the happiness of times long past. Sue
had left the house previously to the investment
of Paris, soon after which the Prussian troops
arrived at the village, their officers being located
at the honse of the widow. These “gentlemen”
immediately burst open the cabinets, desks,
etc., pillaging the house in all directions. Ev
erything was taken away—jewelry, piotures,
linen and even the private letters of the owner.
In vain the unfortunate steward, who spoke a
little German, interfered, and'twice did aPras-
bion baron point a pistol at him. Tbe soldiers
cotnemplated in silence the disgraceful conduct
of their officers. The camp followers brought
their wagons to the house aud every officer de
livered np what he had stolen, obtaining a re
ceipt whereby to claim the artioles,or their
valae at i» later date.

inston Thinks of the Situation.
A Washington special of Friday, to the Cour
ier-Journal says Baron Gerolt, the Prussian
Minister, “does not appear to indulge in very
strong hopes of the capitulation of Paris. In
conversation to-day he stated that he had re
ceived no offioial dispatches, other than the last
circular of Bismarck, already published, but
that the situation waa by no means as encour
aging for the Prussian army as it was at the be
ginning of the investment of Paris. The cold
weather and the intense enthusiasm of the
French, be thought, might yet redeem Paris.
The Split in Missouri.—The Missouri Rali-
cals are endeavoring to compromise the split jn
tbe party in that State. This morning Repre
sentatives Van Horn, Burdett, and Benjamin
called on the President, and represented to him
that with proper effort they believed harmony
could be restored in the Republican party in
Missouri by regarding Senator Sohurs as in full
accord with it. If this were carried out in good
faith, they had no doubttbat theolaas known as
Liberal Reformers would oome over to the old
love again. The President did not seem to look
on it in that light, and aaid that Mr. Sohurs had
done all the barm he oould do—had carried the
State against tbe administration and virtually
given its control into tbe hands of the Demo
cratic party, and be did not see how such a man
could be again recognized among the loaders of
the Missouri Republicans. The impression left

.Colton Movements for the Week.
Cotton movements for the week are heavy.
Receipts at aii pelts—155,717 bales against 152,-
321 last week, 140,074 the previous week, and
118,090 three weeks since. Total receipts for
the expired portion of the cotton year 1,372,-
557 bales against 1,110,950 last year. Exports
from all ports for tho week are 117,598 bales
against 00,737 this week last year. Tho total
exports for tbe expired portion of tho cotton
yo.-ir 755,108 bales against 555,84G last year.
Stock at all the ports 403,254 bales against 330,-
393 this date last year. Stock at interior towns
104,430 bales against S8.850 last year. Stock in
Liverpool 371,000 bales against 340,000 last
year. Amount or xnaiau wiw- ior
Great Britain 135.000 bales against 181,000
this time last year.
The weather South has been unfavorable as a
general thing for picking operations. Daring
the week much rain has fallen, and in some sec
tions the weather has been cold with slight snow
storms. It is a matter for regret that the de
pression in the cotton trade continues, more es
pecially as it affects so many business interests,
to say nothing of the commerce of the oonntry.
The decline in cotton and current market quo
tations represent a loss to the country of one
hundred and fifty millions of dollars. This, of
course, will be serionsly felt in the export trade
of the conntry and entail heavy looses on'the
Southern States. This largo pecuniary loss to
the cotton growing States will materially curtail
purchases of merchandize in Northern cities by

I will write hurriedly to inform yon of an

him, and the other near by, had just left for
Savannah. Soon after they left the assailants
made the first attempt, bnt Mr. Parker, having
two double barrelled shot guns and a repeater,
repulsed them; soon after they retained, bnt
were again repulsed. At two o'clock a. m.'
they returned the third time, bnt this time were
driven away, one of them screaming as if se
