THE ELECTION,
Alexander 11. StvpltenM
Eluded Ciovrrner by
63,000 Najorily.
The latest returns show that Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens is elected Gov
ernor by alt overwhelming majority.
The election of Senators and Repre
sentatives in various districts and
counties in the State shows that the
next General Assembly will almodt
entirely Democratic. ,
Our Senator and Representative,
Messrs. M. A. B. Tatum, and W.
Jacoway, ate gentlemen of the first
water, and will reflect credit and dig
nity upon our county, ami whose hands
the interest of oltr people can be safe
ly confided; and who will prove faith
ful to their trust. They both received
a majority over their two opponents
which speaks well of their moral worth.
Mr. Tiatum’s majority in this district,
composed of Dude, .Walker and Ca
toosa counties, is 700; and Mr. Jjco
way’s majority as representative of
Dade county is 250.
These two gentlemen are democrats,
true and tried, and will work in tht
interest of their constituents.

publicans.
We clip life following editorial from
Vlie Chattanooga Democrat:
Circumstances very distateful to us
heretofore called for a series of aidin'-
adversKms upon llie tendency of some
of o*it citizens here to place the negroes
above the white folks, both socially
and officially.
Our remarks, though offered in a!!
kindness to the parties concerned, have
excited extensive comment, and in
Home cases severe ct itici-m—the latter,
as might haVu been expected, coming
from the meaner and lower element o'
the Radical party.
Our position has been mistaken, per
haps purposely. We di l not wish to
excite any feeling between the laces.
We only tie si red to place the seal of
infamy upon the white men who are
so lost to every sense of common de
cency as to even contemplate negro as
cendancy over the white ladies and
deserving young while men of this
counrty. We say our remarks were
made in all kindness, because We fully
appreciated the fact that “servauts
must obey their masteis,” and that
t lie appointment fa negio to rule
over white ladies was but a servant’s
feluctant acquiescence in the domineer
ing dictations ul a low lluiig political
master.
That the appointment of that ne
gro, fvi kin* to olio of tflh chief clerk
ships in the ]iost office is a move ol
political necessity, to rivet the negro

day a gentleman of wealth from Atla.is
ta was here to cuter business in our
city, but seeing the tendency towards
’“negro rule” in ertif municipal as well
as county government, be respectfully
declined an investment here. This is
no “bugbear,” it is a stern fact, and
sooner or later the political jugglers
who have thus tainted Chattanooga
with the destructive canker of “negro
ascendancy” will reap their reward in
retirement, disgrace and social ostra
cism.
The ward politicians and petty of
fice-seekers here have taught the negro
to ask tor far more than he could rea
sonably exjicct to receive. We grant
them all the private rights and im
munities guaranteed to every Ameri
can citizen, and public promotion as
their capabilities and social attain
ments demand, but again, iu the name

that it Was a grand success. Finely
the Lord smiled on our efforts to do
the right; everything was just as
pleasant as could possibly ho tl at
night; the crowd seemed happy, and
I hope and believe everybody was
well waited on at supper. In this,
like all othe%tliiilffs, there are some
one to fmd fault and complain about
something connected with it; hut I hope
we gave no cause for complaint. We
made fifty-two dollars, the cxpcnces
were about about eleven or twelve
Now we think this foity dollars well
worth working hard for. Our inten-
tions are to pay half of this sum to
•nr preacher, and the remaining half
to he used in our Sunday-school. We
will purchase first a libraty to take
cate of what books we have, and those
we intend getting.
Thanks to the yottug men of the
Furnace lor their very liberal help,
now il you will just c one and join our
Siinday-HCliool. Let everybody turn
their hearts and minds in the same
channel—that of doing good.

A Tcrrrible Collision.
A fatal collision occurred* at Oolte

hound for Macon and a freight train.
The passenger train lei? Chattanooga
at 6:30 a m , fi teen minutes late; it
was in charge of Conductor T. L

cab of the engine with the instructions
to pilot the train to Ooltcwah, as both
engineer and fireman were making
their firstMtrip over the road. Mr.
Hobos had been fireman on the road
for several months and was presumed
to be thoroughly iamiliar with the
run between Chattanooga and Oolte
wah. It was also the first trip of the
conductor and balance of the crew, the
train being the second of the new line
which had left Chattanooga.
The train was moving ahead at a
ten itie rate of speed when suddenly
Agn'cw, who was looking out, shrieked
Out in hoarse tones, “Men, for Chris' Fken<
sake,jump; there is a train within
few feet ot ns!” and before the words
had hardly left his mouth he leaped
from the cab; but not a moment too
soon, for befoic lie could recover him
self he heard n awlul crash, and two
locomotives were piled on each other,
a mass of mins, with tenders and cars
laying across the track in an incon-
glonierate mass.
When Waters heard Agnew’s warn
ing he applied the air brakes to their
full strength, hut saw that it was too
late to avoid an accident, and in the
excitement of the moment threw his
arms around Hobbs, who stood trans
fixed with horror and held him firmly
and thus locked in each others HU
brace, tbc two men met their horrible
death. The death of Hobbs and Wa
ters was horrible in the extreme.
c When the train struck the freight
jwf'thn, it bounded into the air and tel -
faqpoped the standing locomotive and
Tdl partially on its side, the other be
ing thrown across the track at right
angles. Everything was.tom from the
'boiler of the passenger engine and the
hot-box struck the two men, who were
clasped in each other arms, and beiore

tents of the tender was heaped upon
