The Atlanta Election—Riot and Bloodshed.—From the Atlanta Constitu tion, of yesterday, we extract the following concerning the municipal election in that city on Weduesday: We regret the inability to say the elec tion passed off quietly. With the excep tion of the Fifth Ward, we heard of no trou ble or difficulty worthy «f„nptice at the time of going to press. At the place of holding the electkmv>ajyie Fftih Ward, on Broad street, scenes were enacted, fights indulged in and rows brought about, such as we have nevei% tigpUe witnessed in a Southern city. They were disgraceful and a shame. During* v tfcc morning several fights occurred in this ward at the polls. Between 1 and 2 o’clock a difficulty I sprung up relative to the arrest of a man. I The crowd undertook to turn him free. This reporter cannot give the full par- II ticulars. The police officers—and but few ; of them were present when the trouble be gan—tried in every way to keep down a t row. Lieutenant Queen, a good and efficient policeman, was pretty roughly handled, and received quite a severe blow on his head while trying to do his duty. Tom Buffington, another excellent officer, in liis efforts to restore quiet, had his head pretty badly struck by a rock. I. W. Cason, another good policeman, received quite a blow on the back of his head from a rock. Several colored men received some severe blows fromclubs. Lieutenant Queen found it necessary to use up a good size hickory stick. For some time the various difficulties appeared settled, though there was much noise and rowdyism at Tallulah Engine House, where the voting was going on— frequently a fight. During the afternoon, we think about 3:30 o’clock, a very large number of colored men, and, we have been informed, one white man, determined to go to the calaboose and turn out a colored man who had been properly and legally arrested for illegal voting. Reaching the calaboose, the crowd of colored men, and they filled nearly half of the vacant ground southwest of the cala ! boose, demanded the release of the man ar rested. Threats were made and the crowd Ipßcreased. The police officer present en deavored to quiet them. Gen. Gartrell ad fptessed them, but the row began. The crowd threw rocks, pistols were drawn, srettKl this reporter judges that thirty or Spjbrty shots were fired. ~ As the police be to fire, large numbers of the color and men stampeded in every direction. The ||man under arrest was not freed. So much confusion prevailed at the time that the If reporter could not ascertain the amount of Jpajury done. An inoffensive colored man, |„by name Tom, was killed; another colored man was shot through the body, and it is supposed he will not live. One man, color ed, was shot through his left arm. We . also heard of three other colored men who i received light wounds! H The following Is the result of the vote, as given by the Sun : FOR MAYOR. Hammond. Aloxaiidvr.

Here are fully laid down the modes of proceeding, by which we may ob tain, from a competent and impartial source, with no more than s’rlctly neces sary expense, and without fee, help and labor of any kind (except Wodfe)-white la bor, the presence of which doe3 not preju dice any of our material interest.

Office of the ■» Commissioners of Emigration | Os the State of New York, i Castle Garden Labor Exchange, i New York, j The undersigned, Deputy Superintendent of Castle Garden, publishes this circular letter for the information of all employers who would avail themselves of the advan tages of this institution. 1. The “ Labor Exchange,” organiz;l by the Commissioners of Emigration of the State of New York, is a free market for emigrant labor, open to all employers from all parts of all parts of the United States. While procuring prompt and remunerative employment to emigrants, it offers to em ployers superior opportunities to choose suitable employees out of the large and varied supply of applicants for work daily resorting to this office. 2. This office charges no fees, commis sions, nor accepts any remuneration from employer or employee. It furnishes to employers, not only do mestic help, agricultural or unskilled labor, but also all kinds of skilled laborers, mechanics, artizans, &c. 3. Land speculators are excluded from the privileges of the Labor Exchange; and all propositions contemplating the sale or leasing of land to emigrants will be re jected. . 4. Employers applying at this office must either be known to the Deputy Superinten dent, or produce satisfactory "references. Agents must be duly authorized by their principals, and well recommended. 5. This office does not make contracts for emigrants with the employer; it does not fix the amount of wages, nor. the term of service, nor prescribe any other condition of the contract; it leaves all these matters to be settled by the voluntary agreement of the_ parties immediately interested, and assists them only by giving all needful in formation and advice. 6. Employers must in all cases provide for the transportation of their employees to the respective places of destination. If means sufficient to defray traveling expenses are remitted to this office, with the request to send hired help to the appli cant, we shall see that the emplovee is properly started on his journey. In such applications employers should state distinctly the description of labor re quired, the nationality preferred, and the rate of wages proposed. Remittances to this office should be made in national currency, P. O. order, or checks on a New York City bank. Drafts on country banks cannot be received. 7. To secure the arrival of employees, we shall, where it is possible, have their baggage checked through to destination, and the checks sent by mail or express to the employer. When through checking of the baggage is not feasible, it shall be for warded by express, The expenses and risk of transportation to distant places will be greatly reduced if employers residing in the country, and de siring emigrapt help, would club together and appoint one of their number employ ing and forwarding agent for all the mem bers of the club. L. Deputy Superintendent. A New Trick Upon Travelers.—A gentlemau recently traveling from Phila delphia to New York fell into a chince con versation, in the smoking car, with a stran ger having all the outward appearances of respectability. After some quarter or half hour’s talk, the stranger politely asked the gentleman if he would take a cigar, at the same time holding out two cigars, one look ing like a Regalia, the other smaller, such as is usually called a London size. The gentleman happening to take the larger one, being the nearest to him as presented, the stranger recommended to him to take the smaller one, remarking that he thought it was of better flavor. After smoking about a quarter to a third of the cigar, the gen tleman discovered that he was suddenly becoming very dizzy. A suspicion flashed through his mind that that cigar was not all right. He immediately threw it away ; but his giddiness increased so much that it was with the greatest difficulty that he preserved his self-possession. In a few minutes a most copious perspiration started from every pore of his body, and the water fairly ran off bis peison. The stranger meanwhile was apparently sound asleep on the other end of the seat. On his arrival at New York the gentleman with great difficulty got out of the car and took a carriage for his hotel, where he was soon after violently attacked with vomiting, and passed a very sick night. He bad been for several years a resident of Cuba, a great smoker, and is fully convinced that the cigar was drugged, and that this is anew dodge to entrap the unwary for the purpose of robbery. He attributes his escape to the fact of his smoking but little of the cigar, and to his very robust constitution. Our railroad managers will be obliged to issue a supplement to the “ notice” sometimes seen in the cars: “ Beware of well-dressed men who ask you to play euchre,” caution ing the public to “ Beware of well-dressed men who offer you a cigar. [Boston Traveler. The R >man Catholic Bishop Baltes, of Quincy, has excommunicated for the period of one year nearly the entire congregation of the Roman Catholic Church at New Athens, 111., for engaging in a dance on Sunday, November 6.
