On this bast* there are over one
thousand voters In Amerlcue.
Seven hundred, including the col.
ored voters,is the most over east in a
' city election. This effectually shows
How fait Americas is growing.
There were over three hundred
voters disqualified yesterday, on
. account of not Having resided in
the city the necessary three
months.

The jresult of the Southern invest,

the wonderful field the South offers
for the investment of capital.
The northern republican organs,
by their campaigu slanders aud
