JACKSON,) Address all Letters to H. C. STEVENSON, Manager. The first paper printed on wall paper we have received si nee the war came to hand yesterday. As well as we could decipher the post office it came from Fatonton. A private note published In the local col umns represent i the steamer Katie, sunk a few days ago in the Savannah river, in a bad way. The efforts to raise her have so far been unsuccessful, but another trial is to be made with more powerful machinery. Washburns has again had up the pro ject of building a French monument in New York harbor to commemorate Ameri c m Independence, He seemed to have called around him quite a number of digni taries in his last effort. Wi acknowledge the receipt, on yester day, of one dozen tigs “from A. P. Bignon,” so the note ran, “the last of the season and the third crop for the year.” They were absolutely delicious, and, in the language of tho Scriptures, “sweat as honey, even as the honeycomb.” The Atlanta Constitution’s Okafenokee Swamp expedition lias sailed at last. We have no doubt it will be the means of at tracting more attention to that region of alligators and huge lizzards than anything ever yet set on foot. Valmaseda has received a good many reinforcements lately, with which to keep his end of Cuba. “Ilis end of Cuba” means Havana and about half the island lying next to it. He makes no progress what ever towards suppiessing the rebellion, aud the end seems farther off now than any time the last six years. Moody and Sankey’s efforts to raise a re ligious furore in Brooklyn have so far fail ed. They had better commence by con verting Beecher and Sister Tilton, if by so doing the plan of salvation would not be exhausted. It would take about enough supply of grace to do a six weeks’ prot act ed meeting to save these sheep. Col. Chapman declares he has plenty of evidence to convict all the men indicted by the grand jury in St. Louis, for frauds in whiskey. Among tho true bills returned is one against Orville Grant, brother of the President, and Gen. Babcock, a particular fiioudof U. S. Grant. A particular effort is to be made to save these two worthies from the Penitentiary. The reception by Bombay of the Prince of Wales, jesterday, was everything the heart of Queen Victoria could wish. Two hundred thousand people lined the- side walks and house-tops. The cannon roared, torchlights blazed, tho Grandees of India, including twenty Indian Prince-, welcomed tho lloyal scion of the great woaian who is now upon the British throne. We are ready to stake our recollections of tho old Vicksburg war horse against anything Confederate that Orville Grant and General Babcock had nothing to do with the St. Louis whiskey frauds. They are other shorn lambs which need protec tion from frosty winds. The idea of a brother of a President engaged in swin dling transactions is simply preposterous and iin possible. And now tho Treasurer of Saratoga county, New York, comes to the front with a small deficit—a steal—a forgery—a lar oeny—or whatever soft term which can be applied to him. He is only one of the grand army of innocent shorn lambs which we are called upon to protect from the rude winds. May the wintry blasts find soft seal skin furs between them and his tender bride. ISelah! The Khedive of Egypt is wise beyond his generation. That generation is the aver age Egyptian of to-day, and tho average Egyptian of to-day is not up to Jay Gould or Jim Fisk in iinances. lie has, therefore, applied to England for two linaneiers to look over the general cash of Turkey and Egypt. If England cannot supply the de mand, we ask for an advertisement for this paper, running, “Wanto i, two competent cashiers. Apply to the Khedive of Egypt 3 times, paid.” The dispatches published last week th it Grant was vigorously dispatching Oush ino at Madrid, aud nailing new rivets into his old iron pots, all of which was some what remotely connected with Cuba, are about to turn out all bosh, as usual. A real move io this direction would tend to restore the waning fortunes of Grant, and his lib eration of Cuba will make his administra tion set in a blaze of glory. He is, how ever, too busy selling liis old war horse, *' Vicksburg,’, for SSO to an old negro, and hatching plans to defeat the Democratic party to seriously consider Cuban matters. It would be a splendid plank in the Demo cratic platform. The Democratic victory in Mississippi was the most sweeping political revolution since the war. There was nothing left of tho Radical party except a few spavined carpet-baggers holding over. To tho South this was far more important than the car rying of Pennsylvania and a few frozen, bleak Northwestern States. It only now remains to roust the Radicals from South Carolina and Louisiana in older to make the South solidly and impregnably Demo cratic. Let the white people of those States learn a lesson of wisdom from Mississippi. They made no compromise; they made no fusion; they put out straight tickets; they closed their doors of business on election day and made a determined effort to win, and won. Albert Edward, eldest son of Queen Victoria, Prince of Wales, and heir to the throne of England, arrived iu the harbor of Bombay yesterday, and was received with all tho honors the city could well ex tend. So soon as his ship, tho Serapis, dropped her anchor, all the grand digni taries of India and Indian waters repaired on board and formally extended tho Royal Prince a welcome. He was to have went on shore at 4% o’clock yesterday afternoon. The whole week has been declared a grand and universal holiday. The visit has pe culiar signilieance in many respects, chief among which is to iix tho boundary line of Russia, whieh acknowledges that she has no eastern boundary, between the posses sions of the Czar and the Queen. It is a foot race as to which of the two sovereigns will come in possession of the intervening territory first. It is said that the lawyers of Landis, who shot Cairuth, iutend to bring for ward the novel claim, at tho t rial, that Carruth died because his attending physician was a homaeopathist. The allopathists should now be required to take a man in Carruth’s condition and see what they can do with a ball in the head.

St. Louis, November 7.—C01. E. R. Chapman, the head of the Stamp Bu reau in Washington, who, with Gen. Lucien Hawley, made investigations which resulted in the seizure of distil leries and rectifying houses here during the past summer, has arrived here to assist in preparing the whiskey cases which are to come up during the next term of the United States Court.— Though many of the accused have put in a plea of guilty, it is still necessary to put in a certain amount of evidence, so that the Judge can intelligently sentence the delinquents. Colonel Chapman states that any amount of testimony is in the hands of the Government, more than will be necessary to produce, especial ly in cases iu which accused pleaded guilty. It is also stated that over tures have been made in Washington in behalf of some of the guilty men, of fering the surrender of all they pos sees on the condition that the Govern ment will not press the criminal part of tho proceedings. Those overtures, it is asserted, have been received with no disposition to consider them. The grand jury adjourned this morniug till Monday without presenting any new indictments to the court.

Washington, November 7.—Since the publication of the general dispatches last Monday, stating the position of this Government toward Spain on the subject of Cuba, as expressed in former instructions to Minister Cushing, nu merous inquiries have been made in official aud other quarters for further information on the subject. Some of the inquirers were apprehensive that measures of a hostile character were meditated, but for this there was no foundation, as the matter is merely one of diplomacy. A Railroad in Ilocklety. Chiengole, November 6.—Mr. H. Os terberg denies that the Northwestern Railroad Company has purchased of him the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis Railway.

The first toast, which was proposed by Henri Martin, was “The President of the United States; the man who worthily occupies the post of Chief Magistrate of America.” Minister Washburne responded in a lengthy speech, in which ho traced the long and cordial friendship existing be tween France and America. He con cluded by proposing “the health of Marshal MacMahon, the President of the French Republic—a brave soldier, an honest man, who, in his civil career, has shown the highest and most suc cessful statesmanship; that which is based on honor, integrity, and unswer ving devotion to the public weal.” Mr. Washburne promised the hearty co-operation of America in the project started by French citizens of erecting a monument in the New York harbor in commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the independence of the United States. M. Laboulaye, in a witty speech, retraced the history of Franklin and Lafayette, and said that on the next fourth of July America would seal afresh alliance with France.

IT he first, stroke of paralysis, involvirL tho left side, naturally enough excited a great deal of interest among the|’ity doctors, and it is agreed that it w|s caused by the bursting of a small bipod vessel in the right hemisphere of fthe brain. The second stioke, it was |lso decided, was caused by a more seious rupture in the left hemisphere,! necessitating a more complete paralysis of the right side. The doctors ago diagnosed the cause of the trouble—fatty de generation of the l blood vessels of the base of tbjp brain. They even told the exact legation of the two blood clots that had formed in the brain. After death* the clots—the smaller ono on the rigjh t and the larger one on tho left —weija found just as they had been predicted, and dissec tion revealed so exteoruve a weakening of the blood vessels bs’ fatty degenera tion that it was a matter of wonder tho doctor had lived so long.

A THRILLING DUEL. FIGHTING TO THE DEATH IN A LOCKED ROOM. One of the Combatants Killed and the Other Mortally Wounded. [New Yoik Times, Nov. S.| At a little after 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon Miss Josephine Weideman, who lives iu the back room on the third floor of No. 106 Delancey street, was terrified by hearing the noise of a des perate struggle in the rooms above her own. Iu a moment a pistol shot was heard, followed in rapid succession by eight others. Before the firing ceased a heavy fall was heard, and in a mo ment more another. Then all was still. Terribly frightened, she ran down stairs and gave an alarm. In a few minutes Officer Hanken, of the Tenth Precinct, who was on post iu De lancey street, arrived on the spot. Be fore him arrived Daniel Pearlson, the tenant iu whose room the disturb ance had occurred. He was unablo to explain matters, as he had not been at home since early morning, when he had gone to his work, leaving a friend, one Joseph Goldman, iu the room. Officer Hanken proceeded to the door of the room, on the top floor, and, knocking, demanded admittance. There was no answer, and trying the door he found it locked and bolted. He then burst the fastenings, and found still an obstruction. Succeeding, finally, iu getting through the doorway, he found that a dying man lay against the door, while a corpse lay six feet off. The blood on the floor and the marks of bullets in the ceiling told of a duel a V oulrance that had been fought iu the little room. Davis Jerslow, the man who was yet alive, was speechless and apparently senseless. The officer made repeated efforts to obtain a word from him, but with no success. Lying on the floor, near his right hand, was a pistol.— The body of Joseph Goldman lay with the head on the hearthstone by the little cooking stove. He was dead, and clenched in his right hand was a pistol exactly like the one on the floor. A wound in his right cheek, and an other in his right temple, showed tbe manner of his death. An ambulance was telegraphed for and Jerslow was taken to the Tenth Precinct Station house, where Dr. Ensigu oxamiued into his condition. The doctor found a pis tol-shot wound just above his right ear, which extended through the skull into the brain. He introduced a probe to the distance of four inches, but failed to find tho ball. Jerslow was still in sensible, and Dr. Ensign said that he could not recover his consciousness aud must die within two hours. He was taken at onco to Bellevue Hospital, where he lay at a late hour last night still unconscious and in what was con sidered a dying condition. Goldman’s body was searched, and $54.60 in money and a heavy gold chain worth about $l5O were fouud on his person. There was a scrap of writing found which tended to throw no light on the dark chapter of crime which had been told in the lock-up room. The two pistols were carefully examined, and found to be cheap English imitations of Colt’s seven-barreled revolvers. Every barrel had been loaded, and four barrels of one and five of the other had been discharged. Captain Li man and Detective Mullen at once began trying to unravel the mys teries of the case. The house in which it occurred was one of the countless tall tenements on tho East side, which are all built almost exactly alike.— It stands on tho north side of Delancey street, and is occupied by German and Polish Jews almost exclusively. Iu tho two rooms occupied by Pearlson, one of which was the scene of the death struggle, were the few usual articles to be found in tho tenement home of a poor mechanic. There were a cheap set of bed-room furniture, a cooking stove and a few household utensils, and nothing more. In the ceiling were two holes made by pistol shots, and one pane of glass was broken from the window. Pearlson himself was ques tioned closely, and told freely what little he knew in the very poor English at his command. He said that he knew Goldman, tho dead man. He had known him in Poland, from which country both of them had come, Gold man being a Russo-Polish Jew, thirty-eight years of age. Since they had lived iu New York they had met frequently, and he knew that Gold man was a jeweler, aud had been in business with Jerslow until lately. On Monday night he had met Goldman in the Atlantic Garden. Goldman accost ed him and asked him to have a glass of beer. They drank two or three glasses together, aud loft the place. They stopped at Floiscman’s saloon iu Grand street afterward, and drank another glass of beer. Goldman then proposed going to Pearlson’s room to sleep, as his (Pearlson’s) wife was out of town. To this Pearlson agreed, and they slept together. In the morn ing Goldman complained of a head ache, and asked if he might remain in the room. To this also Pearlson agreed and went to his work at 7 o’clock, leav-' ing Goldman in bed, and returning after the affray had taken place.* Goldman, it was learned, had lived at No. 100 Hester street, boarding there with Mr. Simon Kirschstein. He had been to his boarding-house yesterday morning, when he said he had been to a wedding the night before. Mr. Kirschstein had asked him to take a gold chain to repair aud he had taken it, the chain being tho one that was found on his person. Mr. Kirschstein said that Goldman had been about ten years in this country, and had lived in Warsaw, Poland. It was learned that Jerslow lived at No. 19 Essex street, where he boarded with a friend. Here, on inquiry, it was ascertained that lie was also a Polish Jew, thirty nine years old. He had been iu part nership with Goldman iu the man ufacturing jewelry business at No. 59 E&st Broadway for about two years, and for some time .had been distrustful of the latter. Fear ing that the latter was defraud ing him he began, oome months ago, keeping account of the business care fully. He soon became satisfied that his suspicions were well founded, and hard words between the two men fol lowed, which resulted iu a dissolution of the partnership last August. Jers low had had some money when he went into business withGoldmau, but at the termination of the partnership found himself almost [penniless. He formed immediately a partnership with an other man, and Goldman seemed jeal ous, speaking to Jerslow reproachfully whenever the two met. Yesterday, about dinner time, Goldman called at Jerslow’s boarding place for him. An acquaintance met him in the hallway, and, greeting him, asked him how times were with him. “They are so good that I wish someone would shoot me,” said he. Finding Jerslow, he asked him for $1.23, which he said Jers low owed him. Jerslow told him that he would give it to him the next time he saw him, but had not the change with him, and therefore could not pay him at the time. Goldman then asked for a kind of amulet, used in the Jewish religious ceremonies, which belonged to him and which Jerslow had. This Jerslow gave him and he went away. Shortly after a message arrived from Goldman to Jerslow that some woman whom both knew was in town and was going away immediately, and wished to see him at No. 106 Delancey street be fore she went. Jerslow obeyed the summons, and nothing more is known of him until he was found insensible and fatally wounded. The two men looked remarkably alike, both being men of more than av erage size, well built, and rather fine looking. Both wore large black beards. Whatever further intelligence may be elicited by Coroner Woltman at tho in quest which is to be held to-day, tho whole affair was last night shrouded in mystery, nothing more than the bare details given above being kuown.

Columbus Enquirer'. Some excite ment was occasioned on the east side of Broad, between Randolph and Bryan streets, nearly opposite the Southern Express office, yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock. On the sidowalk a young farmer, J. R. Forbes, aged 21 years, was shot by Douglass Cad man, aged 16 years. Forbes is from Troup county. Tho ball entered on the right side of the nose and lodged in the back of the head. Tho wounded man, with some assistance, managed to get into an ex press wagon, and with friends was car ried to his room iu McDaniel’s wagon yard. Cadmau was arrested by Capt. Tift Moore and Officer John Brady aud carried to the guard house. Forbes, it is thought, will get well. The weapon used was a medium-sized Smith & Wes son pistol. The Newnan Star claims that Mr. Marsclialk, of the Planter’s Advocate, is the trained journalist of the State; aud ho bases it on his history, which is thus given in the Star: Fifty years ago Mr. Marschalk’s father was a poor young man just married, and got hold of a little type and an old press of the primitive kind, and got a little room to put it up in. His wife lived in the of fice with him, did the cooking and washing there, and helped him at the case aud press. He had no other as sistance, aud very little furniture— ono bed, a couple of chairs, a skillet and oven, and a little table furniture. Mrs. Marschalk’s confinement was rather premature, and the infant was wrapped iu swaddling clothes and laid upon tho bed of the press, as there was no other place to put it. The boy was raised up a printer and received no education whalever, except from his parents and the tyyes. He says his father had for ty-eight subscribers and four ex changes. The subscribers paid mostly in provisions, and the family relied upon the legal advertising of tho coun ty and an occasional job for money to buy their clothing and pay for house rent, and the Marschalk’s were useful and valuable members of society. Au Old “ Confed, ” as a Player. Among the members of the Buffalo Bill Combination, who have so well en tertained onr theatre-goers the past several nights, tho writer met Mr. Harry Moreland, a worthy son of Vir ginia, and as gallant a Confederate and as dashing a scout as ever drew a sabre or cocked “a navy,” and was pleased to recognize in him an old comrade in arms, when tho soil of the glorious Old Dominion resouuded with the tread of hostile armies. As drill master of the Maryland line, afterwards as scout for General Bradley T. John son, commander of the Maryland Bri gade, Harry Moreland proved himself a true Confederate, a gallant soldier and a most courteous aud genial com rade. The writer, then a specially detailed courier for General Johnson, well remembers the dashing episodes and hair breadth escapes which marked the career of the noted scout, Harry Moreland, and is indeed pleased to fiud him in such splendid health, and still retaining the animal spirits which sus tained him iu the trying hours of ’62, ’63 aud ’64. Harry is a capital actor, and we predict for him the same fame and success in the profession he has chosen, as he so wdfrearned when grim visaged war ruled the land. We re commend him most heartily to our Confederate brethren, and can say to them that they cannot shake the hand of a more gallant soldier, a truer Con federate or cleverer gentleman than Harry Moreland. May success follow him wherever he may go.— Savannah News. A singular case is reported from Brooklyn. A woman was badly fright ened by a cat some months previous to the birth of her child. That child proved to be a girl, and is now eighteen years of age aud married. During her girlhood she gave no evidence of be ing affected by her mother’s fright, ex cepting, indeed, a propensity to chase mice, and occasionally to sit on the back yard fence and yowl a little on moonlight nights ; but, strange to re late since the birth of her own baby, she always lifts it out of tho crib by the t back of its ueck with her teeth. New Series—Vol. 28, No. 81. THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION. DOWNFALL OF THE CARPETBAG GERS. Vv'hy the Colored Voters Voted the Democratic Ticket—A Remarkably Quiet Affair—lncidents at the Polls. [Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.] Jackson, Tuesday Night, Nov. 2,1875. The feeling all along has beeu that election day here would be very quiet or very bloody. The condition of things was such that;, if there was any distur bance at all, it would be fearful. Up to this writing there has not been the least trouble, and as the negroes are leaving town rapidly, and as the whites are in a jolly good humor, there is diminished chance for a row. It has been as quiet an election as I ever attended. When every man knew that every white man was armed, and that a single personal difficulty might lire the mine and lead to the slaughter of a hundred, there was great circum spection of conduct, and exquisite care to avoid treading upon other people’s toes. Then every precaution was taken to secure peace. There was a largo force of special policemen and deputy sher iffs on the ground, selected by both parties, and every saloon is closed from 12 last night until to-morrow morning. The peace officers have or ders to arrest every disorderly and drunken man, and put him in the com mon jail until the polls are closed aud the votes counted. In addition, the worthy citizens of Jackson, those more interested in the peace aud prosperity of the city thun any one else can possibly be, have been on the ground the entire day, going from polling-place to polling-place, aud using all their influence in the preservation of peace. Above all, the Federal soldiers at the barracks were under orders to rush into the city the very moment there was an outbreak, and preserve the peace. They have been prepared, and at the signal, would have nothing to do but ‘‘fall iu.” Yet with all the precaution, fear and anxiety hung over the city like a pall last night. From here and from Ed wards, Bolton and Clinton, on the Vicksburg road, many women and children were sent to Vicksburg for safety. Matters had been arranged in that usually tumultuous city until it was regarded as one of the places least liable to a row. I believe that the probabilities of a row here were thought to be greater than at any other point in the State. It is a sort of headquarters for the Re publicans ; many are here whose lives have been threatened in other parts of the State, who, of course, are in no go nial humor; the colored people have been told to come into town and vote, regardless of consequences ; the whites were armed and determined, and upon a survey of the whole field I thought Jackson in more danger from an out break than any other place in the State. Therefore I remained here, not to tako part in the expected riot, but to bo on hand to give the world a true history of it in my feeble way. I rejoice ex ceedingly that I have no bloody chap ter to write to-night. So far the dis patches have revealed but one fracas in the State ; that occurred this morn ing, near Port Gibson. Only two men were killed, one white and one black, which is a remarkably light casualty list for that quarter. At the Polls. All day long I have been at one or the other of the three voting places of the city and suburbs. Every business house in the city was closed from early morning until night, giving the city a Suuday appearance. This was done that every white man might give his undivided attention to securing the election of the Democratic ticket, upon the success of which they believe that their very salvation de pends. I never before saw such determina tion to carry an election, tho whole body of the white people being moved by a common impulse. The wealthy citizens have given liberally of their means to secure votes, without nice scruples as to how the votes were ob tained. Every white man resolved himself into a committee to secure tho vote of at least one colored man. The result is astonishing. I would not have believed that so many colored people could have been got to vote tho Democratic ticket as I have seen do it here to-day. No force of violence or intimidation was employed. I watched for this closely, and had the assistance of an other party, but we jointly and sever ally failed to discover auything like force or violence, or auything that could be properly called intimidation. Why so Many Colored Men Voted the Democratic Ticket. More voted with the whites here than ever before—yes, more than twice as many as at any other election. They wero chiefly influenced in this by the non-interference of the Government. Because the Government did not step in at the request of Governor Ames, they have got the notion that it has ‘ gone back on them,” as they call it, and now, being without its support, they must cultivate friendly relations in politics with the whites. They know that they cannot maintain a contest with them without Government sup port, and as they have been deprived of that support, the next best thing is to accept the inevitable. This was the chief influence operating among them here, and the great cause of suoh an unusual number voting the Demooratio ticket. Another influence was the well-known fact that the whites are in arms; that they intend no longer to live under negro rule if they have to fight to get out. The negroes do not want a fight. They know what that means. So many voted with the whites as a matter of conciliation, preferring to see Demo crats elected than to have a row, in which they would be the chief suf ferers. Half the servauts at the hotel where I stop voted the Demooratio ticket to the great astonishment and gratifica tion of the proprietor, who counted only upon three. This morning the proprietor said to one of his clerks: “Have you talked to so and so (men tioning four) among the dining-room boys?” “No, sir,” replied Mr. Phillips; “It Is not a bit of use. They will vote the Radical ticket if you should argue with them a week.” Yet these four, as I happen to know, voted the straight Democratic ticket. They did it because they conceive that the Republican party here is “gone up,” and they don’t want to stand out in ap parent antagonism to the whites. Curious Inducements. I witnessed many strange scenes at tho polls, and around about among tho crowd. This sort of thing was repeat- To Advertisers and Subscribers.

A man would select his darkey and operate on him in this wise: “ Uncle have you voted ? ” “ No. sah.” “ Going to vote ? ” “ Yes, sah.” “ How?” “ The ’Publican ticket, sah.” “Can’t I persuade you to vote the Democratic ticket ? ” “No, sah.” “ You are afraid to vote it are you ?” “ No, sah—not a bit.” “ I’ll bet two dollars you are afraid to step up there and vote the Demo cratic ticket ? ” “Me ’fraid ? No sah, dis nigger ain’t ’fraid—he ain’t the skeery sort, he ain’t 1 ” “Well, I’ll bet two dollars you are ' afraid to do it! ” “ Put up your money. I’ll take dat bet, sah—l’m no skeery nigger.” The money is handed to a third par ty. The negro is given a Democratic ticket, aud accompanied to the polls by a white man, who sees that it is voted. Then the negro returns and is paid tho “ wager ” he has won ! A neat way that to buy votes, and at the same time escape the penalty of the law. A hundred dollars thus ex pended goes some distance in adding to Democratic “gains.” I saw a negro and a white man go to the polls side by side, and each vote the Democratic ticket. Then the white man took the negro to a cozy nook, gave him two drinks of whiskey and a handful of cigars. I could not say that he bought the vote ; he only took the occasion to treat his colored friend. An old negro man, apparently too old too work, and looking to be really needy, stood near the polls witli a Re publican ticket. A white boy, not over thirteen, said to him: “Uncle, why don’t you vote the Democratic ticket ? These oarpet-baggers don’t care any thing for you, They’d let you starve to death.” “I dunno but they would,” replied the old man, “for I’m hungry right now. If yo’ull get me a little money to get some bread to take home, I’ll voto the Democratic ticket.” The boy’s face brightened up. He went to the bottom of his pockets, turned them inside out, but bo could find nothing but a five-eent nickel. Giving that and a Democratic ticket to the old man, he went after more, and I have no doubt gained a vote for tho Democracy. There was some trickery, and a few votes were gained “in the ways that are dark.” To protect negroes who could not read, the Republicans printed their tickets on yellow paper. The Demo crats straightway printed some on the same sort of paper, hoping to gain something by the mistakes which men who do not know a letter in the book would naturally make. After all argument had been exhaust ed upon a certain negro, and by no means could he be got to agree to vote the Democratic ticket, he was, in a few lustauces, brought iuto it in this wise: As they approached the polls, in line, a white man would say, “Well, uncle, you are going to vote the straight Re publican ticket, are you?” “Yes, sah.” “That’s right. Let every man voto with his color. I’m a white man, and vote the Democratic ticket—[unfold ing it.] Why, goodness alive! I’ve made a mistake, and got a Republican ticket. Now, I don’t want to lose my place in the line to get another. Lot mo see yours.” The darkey unconsciously hands over his. “Why, old man, you’ve made a mistake, too ! Yours is a Democratic ticket i Somebody has played off on you ; it’s d—d mean to take that ad vantage of a man who can’t read. But we can jusl swap tickets, can’t we? That makes it all right. Now we are both fixed.” He adroitly gives the darkey a Dem ocratic ticket of the same color, which he, not being able to read, puts into tho box, aud goes home thinking that ho has discharged his duty to the Repub lican party! There were a few instances of impo sitions of tho sort—not many. Jolly Good Feeling. Toward 12 o’clock it became known that the Democrats were gaining large ly at each box, and that it was owing to the colored people voting with them. This put the whites iu tho best pos sible humor, and dispelled all danger of a riot. When everything was pro gressing so satisfactory there was no use of a riot, and nobody had any oc casion to start one. There was no ne cessity, as is sometimes done, to get up a mock fight and frighten away the colored people, for they were voting Democratic tickets so well that it was an advantage to have them around. What is the result? To-night in Jackson the feeling between the races is better than it lias been in seven years. The Democrats have carried the county and the State, and are over flowing with praises for their “colored friends” who voted with them. Later. The night wears on. Every dispatch indicates a Democratic gain in some unexpected quarter. Tho whites are in ecstacies. The night air is burdened with yells of delight, but there is no pistol firing or disorderly conduct.— And yet, the Republicans can not claim a dozen counties in the State. The Democrats have elected their whole ticket, carried the Legislature by a large majority and gained at least two Congressmen.

Proba bly 63,000 out of the 63,084 are old maids who have waited in the ranks of the “superfluous” until the springs of love’s passion have almost dried up, and spectacles conceal orbs once bright and lustrous.
