THE WEEKLY OPINION.
THE CITY.
Ficm The Daily Onxiox ot Monday. J
AnnK*TPD.—Joe. Brown (colored) wa»
arrested title evening by tlio military for
threatening colored voters for voting the
Gonlon ticket,
Thk Electiox To-Day.—The morning
wj» dark ami cloudy, with rain falling oc
casionally In heavy showers* Yet by seven
o'clock, the hour for opening the polls, not
less than a thousand whites and blacks had
assembled within and around the Court
House. When the polls were opened
general rush was uiado lor tho different
doors where the tickets were received.
Then began tho usual excited electioneer
ing by both political parties, and each
seemed determined to out do the other in
tho way of securing votes. Tho most of
the work seemed to be expended upon the
colored men, some of wlioui seemed to
stand the pressure and vote as they had
intended when they left their homes. The
Radical tickets wero printed upon
blue paper, with an engravlngofa rail
road train on the hack, the train running
upward on the ticket. The Democratic
tickets were white, yellow, red and n
dark blue, with the train on the hack, tho
locomotive heading downward. The Rad
icals kept n sharp lookout for tho dark
blue tickets, and were quite active In rush
ing around to sec that none of them Were
voted by the Intelligent colored sovereigns.
The negroes were all excitement, and en
gaged In expounding tho new Constitu
tion ns valuably, If not as intelligently, us
so many Webster* might have done. Home
rather rich scenes occurred.
One negro came In. elbowing hb way
through tho crowd, saying he wanted to
vote.
“ Have you a ticket," asked a young
gentleman with h roll of blue tickets In
his iiatid. Just at this moment another
young man approached the colored man,
and asked him to take a white tickets—
“O, lyes,” said the shade, 1 * 111 take It nod
will remember you when 1 see you again."
Another negro cried out: ‘•Gib me de
Express ticket; 1 goes on dat train."
" 1 can't ride on dat Bullock concern. It's
too near busted; I goes on de Gordon
wagon." said another.
Every white man had some especial ne
gro to electioneer, and every negro seemed
to have some sable brother under bis charge.
Many of the uninitiated were constantly
searching for some new Information, yet
asking the same questions over and over—
all showing that desire to have those whom
they have been wont to regard as their su
periors to be familiar with them.
•‘ Golly," said one ancient shade, u deso
big folks do come down to us now. After
de election dey won’t .-peak to us common
niggers."
White men of every class and party
seemed to think it a duty to be iu close
caucus with the negro, and did not shrink
from imploring ids vote; the candidates
were partietihuly so.
We overheard one candidate in conver
sation with a colored man. when something
like the lollowlng conversation ensued:
“llow arc gou going to vote?"
“I’ll vote as Mars .Songo does," replied
the negro.
“Then you will vote against your race."
Jald the candidate.
*•1 don’t euro if 1 do." replied the negro,
‘•1 am free and will vote as 1 please*"
a Wh»t l- your name?" was the next
question. The darkey gave ir. What tho
mative was for asking tiie negro for his
name we do not know.
-You got ills face on your ticket ?" asked
one negro of another, at the same time
showing a photograph of Col. Bullock.
“Go way wid dat huv," said tho other,
• liar's too much iielly for do face."
A colored man named Aaron Dobha pro
claimed publicly that lie had been paid
three weeks ago to work for Col. Bullock
and the Radical ticket, and that he then
had the money III his pocket. Tills state
ment he repented three or four times. In a
very loud tone, and iu the hearing of at
Jpast twenty person*.
Although the whole Hall III the lower
story of the Court House was crowded,
and some live or six hundred whites and
blacks on the outside, yet the utmost good
order prevailed.

Attkmpteo Stamiino.—Monday night*
brakemnn on the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, named Thomas Brady, broke in
to the house of Ko.«u Thoiimoii. a ttymph du
pa re, who resides in the jungles on Mariet
ta street, known as Brooklyn. Yesterday
Rose swore out n warrant and bad the
midnight prowler arrested, and was hound
over by tlio Mayor to the Superior Court.
Sut hJlcd. Rose started for her den, and
when near there, some female friend called
to her to “run," n* Brady was behind her,
and would kill her. Looking round, she
discovered him hut a few yard* lieliiud Iter
with kiilfo drawn, evidently intending to
murder her. Affrighted, she run down
ii|m>11 the railroad track, lie i**r*uiiig her,
nut fortunately was met by olllcer Jack
Smith, who cheeked lihu in Ills wild career.
Ho iiltempteif resistance to the olllcer, who
applied Ids ~i*vi>ii;tdt-r” gently once or
twice, which had such a sootliing effect
that lie went to the calaboose In a spring-
wagon.
This morning he was released from cus
tody about six o’clock, and shortly uftcr-
wanls nn ottb-cr appeared with a warrant,
hut he hud flown. He might just as well
conic lu, for the olllcer* arc after him.
Wiikkk’s that Laxd and Mclk?—Quite it
number of colored men have been making
Inquiries upon the street for the office ot*
the man who was to give them the laml
and the mules if they would vote tho
Radical ticket. This may not be what
would legally Ik? called corruption or tho
sacred Ballot Box, but It looks to us ilko
something very nearly akin to it.
When political parties are reduced to
such straiu in this. It seems to us that lc
would lie much better for their reputation
as a party, that they close out and bo hon
orably defeated. If a |K>lltlc*l party uses
corrupt mean* te secure the office* of a
State, they will most certainly use tbe of
fices til the same way, little earing how
much the State may suffer. Tbe man who
will report to lo«v and unlawful means to
get position, u ill prostitute that position
to low* and unlawful uses. Well may tho
people leur the success of the Radical
party.

In Cobb county, they arc indebted to Brevet
Lieut. Col. Townsend, who Is temporarily
In command at Marietta. This we knew
would be tho result when we learned that
this officer had bcon assigned to that post.
Col. Townsend graduated at West
Point lu 1850, and after two years* service
In the Third Artillery, resigned Ills com
mission and entered upon the practice of
law lu Detroit, Michigan. When the war
began, he tendered his services to the gov-
inent and was appointed a Captain and as
signed to the 10th Infantry, then a new
regiment in the regular army.
From the first occupation of Nashville,
Tennessee, he was chief Ordnance officer
of that depot, amt supplied General Sher
man with all theamiiKiultlon he spent upon
Atlanta. In 186(1, when the new regiments
of the regular army was organized, his

At s recent Htatc Convention of the

Approval of lending journals and politi

A Rbw ix Auuksta.—Tlio Augusta pa

of a disturbance which occurred in that
city on the la«t day of the election, and
which well nigh resulted in a hioody riot:

excitement and called forth from the white
men present shouts not very complimenta

became insulting and aggressive at tho In

The negroes arnu d thennelvcs with clubs
and the whites (wlio were not more than

A Vlltainoua Outrage—Judge L. D.
Bunrcll was reuiovcil from office as Man-
gar, ignorant ami | n toextreme*. The Republican party lias
become oneof extreme, narrow proscriptive
measures; so much so that the more patri
otic and able men of the organization are
abandoning it. The Democratic party
North Ini*, by force of circumstances, been
driven to the opposite extreme; and the
Cop|«erln*nd and IVmilcton wing occupies,
to all intent* and purposes, the same
ground occupied by Mr. Vallaxpioiiam In
lSGI. The consequence Is, that tlio intelli
gence and worth of both parties have
ceased to act ill unison witli either, but

ground, basing suffrage upon nuoli qualifi

Vreedmen Arretted.—'Two negroes were
taken up on Tuesday last, by Col. Ritter,
for Violating the order* of Gen. Monde in

penalties In case they failed to vote the

The election here lias passed off quietly
w ithout much lighting or quarreling, hut
a heap of work and intrigue. The polls
are open at two places in the county—
Kingston and t’artersvllb*—and we think
when the vote is coiiiiDhI out. tlio result
will be very gratifying to tlio Democracy.

The election In till* county Is progress

we have no accurate Information, a* the
managers, under General Meade's orders,
are not allowed to count votes until the
close of Hie noils at 0 o’clock on tbe last
dav of tite election—tills evening. From
Information, however, derived Iroui per
sona who have watched the polls very
cloeely since they opened, wo think It may
be safely sahl that it will lie found, when
the votes are all counted tills evening, that
Whitfield has gone the entire Conservative
ticket by at least one hundred and fifty
, majority* Gordon will run ahead of the
j ticket—nU majority, wc doubt not, will be
I at least two hundred and fifty.
We are gratified to state that the election,
i thus Ikr* has passed off very quietly.
I Xortk (Go.) lit publican, 24 th.
that the founder of their party—the
Devil—did to deceive our first parents—by
lying. Having no unfavorable facts to
make capital out of, they resort to making
capital lie*; and so well do they succeed,
that we cannot but think they are follow
ing the natural Instincts ol their nature*.
But we think mat they and the devil will
not succeed this time. We believe a ma
jority of the Northern people arc tlio
friends of peace and union, and will not
be deceived Into the support of a party of
scoundrels who would destroy every ves
tige of the old government and establish
upon lu ruins a despotism with themselves
at IU bead. The Radical )*pen may rave
and bowl over tlio ill success of their
schemes of treason, for their power is bro
ken, and their throne will be trampled to
dust by the people next November.

GKNKRAL PcnoriCLD AND THK WAR
OmcR.—Our dispatches to-day inform us
that Mr Johnson lias withdrawn the nom
ination of Hon. Thomas Ewing, and *e it
to the Senate the name of General J. M.
Schofield, Major General U» S. A.* the
present Commander of the First Military
Distriet. General Schofield Is regarded by
those who know him as a Conservative,
and If court rim'd would probably act In
harmony with the President.
But the Senate regards Mr. Stanton as
the Secretary of War, and It Is not proba
ble that hotly would throw away so pliant
a tool us lie k for one they could not con
trol. Ami more than this. It would look
a |ioor exchange to give the Commission of
k Major-General for a ten months lease
upon a Cabinet office. We think the Pres
ident la wasting time In bidding for the
Military Chieftains of Jhe country.

We rosy not have the pleasure of seeing
