* HERE’S YOUTH MULE !”
Yesterday the first general negro ballot
over east in this country was* polled otcu
the 8 late of Tennessee, and, although roiu
the r eturns and from our own personal ob
servations the farce is, as was expected,
sufficiently complete, yet it docs not lesson
t o exceptionable significance and interest
“f the o>ccasi<>n. The day, whatever may be
Its con-s. 'liuencc, is historic.
Wo cau not shut our eyes, and we ought,
not to eU> e our senses to the fact that the
ne''roes voted in most cases like sheep, fol
lowing the of the Radical bell, and
minin'' together from the Brownlow pen
to the "ballot-box. They evinced a truly
rioaceable spirit, abstained from drink, and
<ro*nerallv excused themselves for what they
did bv saving “ we had to do jist as they
told us in lhe League.” Fully appreciating
the out-of-the-way nature of the event, we
propose to group, in as concise, truthful and
picturesque a manner as possible such
scenes hiddents and anecdotes as fell in
.our way. not only that persons at a distance
•may form a distinct ami intelligent notion
•if the whole affair, but also that those among
v - citizens, particularly the aged, the iu
;!'*■ -ud the feminine, who did not venture
. (• Soors, may get an accurate glimpse
of'that’ w’Wch Inis inspired so much curi
osity.
this oufVOcracy.
Guffey seemed to have arisen from the
bowels of the earth. He not only came in
from all parts of the county, but from the
neighboring counties and adjacent (States.
He was here from the “old Kentucky home,
with a ballot in 011 c hand and a lux; handle
in the other. Ho was here front Alabama,
not perhaps—
“ Without a banjo on hU kneo,”
but assuredly with a “duster,” a pack, and
mi certificate of registration. He came in
all sorts of costumes and in every way of
Sri-tUcckli) Constitutionalist
conveyance. Here was the respectable body
servant of the steady cit izen with the old,
black, switch-tail coat of his master “ bor
rowed” for the occasion ; here J lie jolly go
devil, “ shirt-tail Bill,” without a coat,
wearing a red vest and checked pair of
breeches, a la sport.
The style of hat worn for the most part
was unique—a cross between a dress silk
and a hay-stack. We saw one young man
“ from the low country,” lie said he was,
who had on a bandana handkerchief, a
black velvet jacket, and white domestic
under-breeches trimmed with blue. lie
flourished a Brownlow ticket and an empty
bottle of whisky. “ Now, Squire,” says he,,
“jist (ill it, will you?” All the shops is
shut up, an’ I’m’s dry as a biskit. If you’ll
fill, I’ll vote jist’s you says.” Another old
countryman had his wife with him. “She
can’t vote,” said he, “ but, bress God, T fetch
her along to see dat I kin, aye golly.” We
met three coming in abreast on the Mur
freesboro pike, about two o’clock. They
were sweating profusely, and had evidently
walked far and fast. “ Where are you boys
bound for?” we asked. One of them, a half
grown lad, stopped a moment and replied,
“to Nashville to vote. We’s done voted
atLavergne, and want’s to get to de cily
so dat we kin gib’m another pop for Brown
low. Is’t four o’clock yet, sir?”
COMPULSORY MEASURES. .
A few evenings ago an order was issued
in all the leagues throughout the State that
each member was to appear at the polls
anil vote on election day under penalty of a
heavy fine, and, in extreme cases of refusal,
imprisonment. Early Thursday morning a
colored man, a neighbor of the writer, came
to him and said, “I must quit work and
go to town to-day and vote. 1 *foii’t want
to go, or to vote, but if I don’t they’ll fine
me iu the league and run me out of the
country. Besides, I must vote for Brown
low. They’ll spot every colored man that
don’t.” To this we replied, “If you want
to vote, why vote. If yon want, to vote for
Brownlow, vote for him. But don’t let any
one intimidate you. All the Radicals on
earth cannot drive yon off for reinsing to
be their slave.” We urged the point, and
explained it, but all to no purpose. He had
been bullied into the belief that his life de
pended on obedience to the Loyal League,
and reason and fact were equally unable to
overcome his scruples of intimidation
“I’m obliged to take care of myself,” said
he. “ I lives in a little cabin, wit hmy wife
and little children. Rich people are safe—
a poor manlike me is not. The military
would come and burn my house, or drive
me off if 1 wasn’t to vote for Brownlow.”
GETTING A CERTIFICATE.
Although the office of registration was
closed, and “officially” the register was
not to lie found, there was no sort of diffi
culty throughout yesterday, for respectable
colored gentlemen previously pledged to
vote the straight-out Radical ticket, to get
the necessary credentials, .lint Brislow, a
shrewd fellow, but a Conservative who had
failed to get his name entered on Major Al
den’s (woks,came down town about 10o’ch>ck
and placed himself near a precinct where
the voting was pretty lively. He looked
on wistfully for a long time. At length a
prominent Radical approached him, and
said:
“My friend, you seem to lake a great in
terest in all that is going on.”
Yes,” said Jim, “ i do—l ought to.”
“And why so, may I inquire?”
“Well, you see I’m a Kinlucky nigger.
We ain’t ’lowed to vote in IvinUicky, you
know. I just run down here on the morn
in’ train to see how the thing is managed
that's all.”
“ Would you like to vote ?”
“ Would n dog like a l-V
“ But—come, now—realty—suppose’n you
had a vote, who would you cast it for ?”
“ For Brownlow, of course.”
“ Come this way.”
Jim followed the Radical down the street
and into a colored drinking saloon, which
they entered from the rear by a pass-key in
tlie hands of the conductor. There with
several persons there. One sat at a table
strewn with papers, lie had pen and ink
before him. A few moments of consulta
tion followed: the colored aspirant was
put through a series of interrogations, all
of which he answered to the satisfaction of
the company, and then he was presented a
certificate of registration. As lie turned
to go one of the party called him back. —
“ Hallo, Kintuck, ain’t you going to treat?”
“I never drinks,” says Kaintuck, alias
Jim. “Well, then, drap thirty cents on
this counter here and we’ll let you oil’.”
Jim “ drapped ” the thirty cents, stepped
away from the premises, changed the
Brownlow ticket t!.‘ev had given him for an
Etheridge ticket, sought his own precinct,
and voted.
“1 say, Jim,” said a Radical acquaint
ance, “you’ze a Etheridge nigger—bow’d
you get a certilikit ?”
“ Never you mind,” says Jim, “.1 got it.”
CHALLENGE, OF VOTES NOT ARROWED.
Judge Clark, in the Tenth Ward, would
allow no votes to be challenged at those
polls yesterday, stating that the certificate
of registration was entirely sufficient.
CHARACTERISTIC OF GEN. DUNCAN.
A long, lean, gawky looking Radical
came into Gen. Duncan's headquarters from
the National Cemetery yesterday, and ask
ed for transportation from the cemetery to
Nashville for seventeen men to draw ra
tions. The General asked why lie wished
transportation for so many men for that
purpose, when the fellow remarked lie sup
posed they wanted to vote. “ Well,” said
the General, “the public money is not to
be spent in any such way. If they had
any patriotism about the matter t hey would
pay their own fare. They can get no trans
portation from me.”
A MARRIAGE LICENSE VS. A CERTIFICATE
OF REGISTRATION.
lii the Sixth Ward a colored man offered
a marriage license for a certificate of regis
tration, and was not aware of the absurdity
until it had been explained.
GENERALISSIMO COOPER’S SECRET MILITIA.
A man named Peter Welker was arrested
by the police for carrying a navy revolver
and taken to the police station. He said
he lia.l been sworn in toy five days from the
day of election, and had command of thirty
men. He and his men had been given oi
dert to walk through the city, to speak to
no man, to raise a fuss with no man, nor
create a disturbance, neither was lie or his
men to engage in any difficulty that might
occur.
lie was dressed in a linen coat, under the
lap of which and out of sight was a like
ness with red, white and bine ribbons at
tached, white shirt and dark pants. He
lias light complexion, with blue eyes, sandy
hair, and some beard, lie was sent to the
workhouse until an investigation can be
had before the Recorder this morning. He
stated that other squads of five, ten, fifteen,
twenty and twenty-five eaeli had been
sworn in for the same purpose by General
issimo Cooper, by whom he had been sworn
in. He, nor his squad, had on uniforms.
THE BROWNLOW REGISTER.
There are various and conflicting reports
concerning Major Alden, the Radical Com
missioner of Registration for this county.
It is confidently affirmed that during tlie
whole of Wednesday night he was issuing
certificates to negroes newly arrived, whilst
we are assured on equally competent Radi
cal authority that he has refused several
Radical applicants since the close of his
registration office. Iu a matter of this
kind it is difficult to form an estimate, and
we are unwilling to deliver any rash judg
ment. The matter is one for investigation,
and of course charges of so much gravity
will not be permitted to go unexamined or
unexplained. We may remark, however,
tliat a system of the kind, presided over by
Major Alden, could hardly be administered
fairly.

no certificates would be issued after Tues
day, and that the office would lie closed
thereafter.
We believed this to be the case, but on
Wednesday night, as we have lieen inform
ed, six clerks were sent out to the old gun
factory, South College street, where regis
tration was carried on all night. Certifi
cates were given to negroes without refer
ences, and all who would vote for Brown
low received one.
A few days before the election certificates
had been signed by Alden, and they were
filled out at Bob Canard’s and Henry Hard
ing's billiard saloon. Blank and signed cer
tificates were issued out of these two last
places almost the whole of yesterday. The
saloons were jammed with negroes, and
nearly all of them voted on the certificates
they had received.
Major Alden was seen to sigu a blank
certificate, on Cherry, near Union street.
After Alfred Gray had been arrested by
the police, and taken to the Mayor’s office,
while the latter was absent, Major Alden
and Dr. Sparling followed, and while the
man was under arrest for a criminal of
fense, the former stepped forward, signed
the certificate, and the negro was turned
loose and allowed to vote.
We give below an affidavit from men
who were cognizant of this Radical swin
dle, whose veracity no man will dare to
dispute :
“ I hereby certify that there arc one or
more negro shop or shops near each poll,
giving out certificates to any and every
negro who may apply, and that said negroes
are permitted to vote upon said certificates,
with onlv tlie question, “Do von live in
the city?” O. B. Yottno.
August Ist, 18G7.
[From the Dispatch.
HOW A HUNTSVILLE NEGRO VOTED.
A good many years ago, a gentleman, an
old acquaintance of ours, residing at Hunts
ville, Ala., made one of his sons a present
of a little negro boy, a slave. The boy
grew up in the family, and, by the necessi
ties of the General Government during the
war, became a freeman. The freed man and
bis former owner are both at this time resi
dents of Nashville. The former lias been
laboring for his daily Support, and doing
the best, lie could, relying upon his own re
sources. He is a registered voter. Yester
day he went to the polls, and, without con
sulting with any one, obtained a couple of
Conservative tickets. He showed them to
a respectable white citizen, and asked him
to witness his vote. One of the tickets was
placed in the ballot box, anil on the other
the white gentleman made the following
endorsement :
“ I saw vote this ticket to-day.”
The negro took the ticket with this en
dorsement, and wended his way to the bu
siness house of his former owner—“ Marse
William,” said he, “here is the ticket I
voted to-day. I voted it out of respect to
you.” That negro could not be corrupted
by radicalism.

VEGETABLE
S-PH-L-S REMEDY.
THIS PREPARATION is now offered to the
afflicted as a speedy and permanent cure for Syphilis
in all its stages, and the many diseases it- entails.
It is perfectly safe and harmless to Hie most delicate
constitution, and may be used by persons of any age
or sex with tile most perfect safety. It will cure the
worst cases of Syphilitic Diseases, no mat ter tiow 1. mg
it may have been in the system, or what may have
been its effects.
KT It has never been known to full,
fcf It cures speedily and effectually.
ty It is agreeable to the taste.

Advertising is Necessary and Pi^cr
We have a specific for a disease which is more to be
dreaded than any other, and wish to inform the suffer
ing ot it; therefore, we do not hesitate to advertise it
in order that it may become known, although we know
the term “quack” will be applied to ns by our so do
ing. We are not afraid of the name. That there are
remedies advertised to which the name would bo ap
propriate, we confess, yet we do not believe in apply
ing the term to every intelligent and scientific physi- !
cian who steps aside from “ the practice 111 the regular
way,” nor in professionally proscribing every one “un
less he toes the regular crack.”
Altbongh a graduate of a regular Medical College,
the discoverer is free-thinking and independent, and
will permit no society or clique to prevent his extend
ing his field of practice and usefulness.
JM o Imposition.
We know the virtues of our medicine, and are
prompted to place it before the public um a duty we j
owi: the aillicted, to save them and tlieir generation j
rom the ravages ot a loathsome and insidious disease,
satisfied the merits of the medicine will soon prove its
intrinsic value.
We make no idle boast, for we value the life and
health of a human being too highly to attempt any im
position whatever; and we speak the truth when we
say it is the result of ticientitic Discovery and long re
search, ami only when it has l>eert used, with unfailing
success, for years, in the practice of the discoverer, wai
he prevailed upon to otter the remedy to the public.
A Specific has been in Benia mi.
Physicians, learned and skilltul in the treatment of
other diseases, have sought in vain for a specific for
Syphilis, and utterly failed in its treatment.
What, then, should be said of the “over 80 per cent,
of graduates of regular medical schools—rejected for
incompetence by Examining Boards of Surgeons
whom, with li-undrcds of others equally incompetent,
are now scattered over the country pursuing tlio.r final
trade witli criminal recklessness.”
To protect the public from incompetent physicians
and tlieir extravagant charges, we place our medicine
within the reach of the afflicted.
Should any purchase, and, after a full trial, not feel
benefitted, they may write to us, describing their case
in full, and we will willingly instruct them how to use
the remedy to cure them. Properly used, it will cure,
yet, some few cases may prove unusually stubborn
and require a little varied treatment, and that, such (il
there should be any) may also be Aired, we offer tl.is
instruction.

A NEW SENSATION
FOR THE
ROYS AND GIRLS.
T~*?OOKH are hard to get, for want of money. Bui
the Boys and Girls must have something to read, and
they ought to have fresh suppli s of reading every
week. Now, there are plenty of monthly papers for
them; but tlieir old friend—and who does not re
member him, and bis “Chii.dhkn’s Gdidk,” in war
times —their old friend, J. W. BuaKK, proposes to
give them the
HANDSOMEST WEEKLY PAPER
his Phcenix Printing House can bring out. To do
this, he must have
HUNDREDS OF SUBSCRIBERS!
And he appeals to the young folks "to help hint. He
wants to know liow many will vote for the paper, by
agreeing to take it. Let them send in their long lists
of names, that he may see how the vote stands, and
whether it will warrant him in commencing it. Never
mind the money just yet. If he finds the vote nil
right, he will begin the publication, and call for the
money; tor then he will hold that all who have voted
for it by sending up their names, will be under obli
gation to subscribe for the paper. Who says “Hurrah
for a WEEKLY PAPER FOR THE BOYS AND
GIRLS I” and what boy or girl will soonest send in
the longest list of subscribers?
We shall, in the first number, begin the publication
of a
SEQUEL TO THE “YOUNG MAROON ERS?”
Nearly ail the boys and girls in the United States
have read the “Young Marooners,” and been delight
ed with it; and Mr. Godipinq assures us that the new
story will be every whit as good as the old one; and
who could want auything better ?
Ail ot our old friends and correspondents, and a
great many new ones, will write for us, and help us to
make the
Beat Juvenile Paper lu the United States.
