WEDf IESDAY MORNING, AUG- 7,1807 fFroin the Nashville Banner, of the 2»i. “ELECTION/’ Browulow's Machine Works to a Charm, MUCH WuO'hANl) VERY LITTLE „ VG' X POPTJLI.” CUFFF.E IN RlB fLO H\ . * 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. TICKETS ISSUED BY THE GROSS AND BY THE DOZEN. Major Alden announced pu Monday that I Squares. 1 Week. j ~ j 2 Weeks. I 3 Weeks. 1 Month. 2 Months. 3 Months. 4 Months. 5 Months. ' 6 Months 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. BPKOI AL JN OTIOEB SomJli Carolina Rnllrond Company, } Augusta, Oa., July 9, 1807.

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. 13* It requires no change of 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.

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 ?
