THE BALLOT BOX PROTECTED
AGAINST FRAUD.
The opening of the struggle yesterday,
In the election now pending, in which the
honest Democratic people of Richmond
county are combating the infamous de
signs of the adherents of Radicalism, gave
promise of a more than usually quiet en
gagement between the two elements.—
Throughout the day not so much as a
fisticuff occurred, within the knowledge of
this reporter, to mark the occasion with
any scene of disorder—a fact upon which
we cannot omit to congratulate the good
temner displayed by all parties, as well as
the efficient services of the Sheriff and his
deputies.
THE CROWD
at the polls, when first opened, was by no
means so great as anticipated, and there
was the utmost good order observed alike
by colored and whites, as each, without
molestation or interference, appeared and
cast their votes, retiring in good order—a
feature which prevailed during the entire
day.
THE CANDIDATES,
As candidates usually are, were on the
ground early, anxiously awaiting the
development of events, active aud ready
to furnish inquiring voters with any uuin
her of tickets upou which their respective
names were endorsed for preferment.
protest claiming the numbering of
TnE TICKETS.
Mr. J. Tj. Bryant, tho Radical nominee
for the Legislature, was among the earliest
at the polls, and made verbal protest agaiust
the managers failing to cause the votes to
be numbered, lie was repulsed by °tlie
Chairman, Cory, and in turn by his twin
brother in iniquity, VVm. Crittenden, who
required him to observe the interval of
llfteen feet prescribed by Akerman’s elec
tion regulation. Mr. Bryant, however, re
tired, and in a short time served the man
agers with a written protest. Upon the
question of numbering the tickets, Mr.
Ilenry Jones, one of the managers, was in
a glorious minority in the affirmative, the
other manager, Mr. Thos. R. Rhodes, being
compelled to retire from service from sud
den ill health. We give the protest below,
acquiesced in by Maj. J. B Camming:
To the Managers Appointed to Superintend
the Election in llichmond County this day
commenced:
Whereas, The Code of Georgia, chapter
11, section 1315, paragraph 3, provides that
“ as each ballot is received the number of
the voter on the list shall he marked on
his ballot before being deposited in the
boxand,
Whereas, The election law recently
passed by the General Assembly of this
State, under which the election now pro
gressing is held, does not repeal said para
graph of said section and chapter, there
fore leaving the law requiring that ballots
shall be numb’red in full force ; aud,
Whereas, The managers of said elec
tion in this county refuse to number the
ballots as required by law, after formal de
mand has been made by persons interested
in said election, therefore I, one of the can
didates for the Legislature of the State,
enter this, my protest, against the mauner
of conducting the election now being held,
believing it to b > in violation of the law of
this State. J E. Bryant,
Candidate for the Legislature.
1 hereby join in the above protest.
Jos. B. Cummins,
Democratic Candidate for the Legislature.
THE TICKETS,
To suit the preference of voters, were
scrambled am* split into a variety of shapes,
so that he who was not suited must indeed
have been fastidious to a fault. The
Blodgett fiction, under the lead of Stallings,
and Wm. llale, the independent negro
Radical candidate, solidly arrayed them
selves against Bryant, the white nominee
of the Republican party, and earnestly
labored to make his “ cake ail dough,” even
voting for nominees of the Democratic
party for the Legislature—Maj. Cummlng
and Col. Suead-and for Mr. Charles Sibley
as Sheriff, in preference to the Radical
nominee for that office, the diminutive,
swarthy P. O. cle.rb, Ellis Lyons.
The nominee of the Radicals for Tax
Collector, Mr. J. A. Bolder, seemed to he
fully up to election snuff,having in circula
tion an abundance of tickets with the
names of all the Democratic nominees
printed thereon except that of Mr. R. D.
Glover, his opponent for the office, in the
place of Which his own name appeared.—
Tlds trick succeded, as we learn, in causing
a number of Democratic voters to vote for
Mr. Bolder, under a misapprehension, not
examining their ballots critically.
THE BPIIUT OP THE WHITES
Was none the less determined against
scalawag, negro and carpet-bag supremacy,
because not exhibited in loud-mouthed de
nunciation of their aggravating infamy.—
There was a settled and fixed purpose to
administer the proper rebuke at the ballot
box, and earnest labor to avoid all collision
which the “ Slander Mill ” could by possi
bility torture into “ Ku Klax” outrage to
tickle the appetite of sympathetic Congress
men in behalf of Radical pimps lit Georgia.
The decent white people plainly exhibited
that they claimed nothing but a fair elec
tion—and would submit to nothing else,
conscious of the rectitude of their inten
tions and the justice of their caose.
THE NEGROES,
'Almost io comparative solid phalanx.
adhered to the behests of their Radical
leaders and the drilling received in their
leagues—mainly sustaining one or the other
faction of the common brotherhood of dis
honesty seeking to gather again the reins
of power and place in Richmond county.—
There were, perhaps, fifty or seventy-five of
over a thousand colored voters sensible
enough to renounce the league oaths and
teachings, and identify themselves with the
Democratic party in the effort to protect
the county and State against the plunder
ers. They should be carefully noted and
doly encouraged for the exhibition of tlieir
good sense—and we have no doubt will be.
ILLEGAL VOTERS.
Os course, the Radicals could not go
Into an election without attempting to
palm off illegal voters. As expected, yes
terday, negroes from adjacent counties
were on hand to turn the balance in
favor of this party of fraud and corruption.
Three of them were located and gobbled
up by the authorities, who have instituted
the most thorough arrangements against
fraud In this direction—amide jail room
aod a prospect of the penitentiary awaiting
ail snch interlopers.
Before 9 o’clock in the morning, an old
negro, Jim Jon#, about sixty years of age,
working with Mr. W. A. Wright, in Colum
bia county, cast his vote, was arrested,
taken before Justice Snead, and committed
to jail for trial in default of SI,OOO bail.
In the afternoon, another negro, Seaborn
Warren, from Burke county, was also ar
rested for illegal voting, and committed to
jail.
Just before the closing of the polls, when
the darkness of the hour most favored the
perpetration of fraud, a third negro, Wm.
Jones, from Jefferson county, was also de
tected after voting, and taken into custody
for examination.
TnE VOTE
Cast yesterday approximated to 2,2oo—pos
sibly about half of the number which will be
polled in the county. The whites have a
decided advantage, and it should nerve
Democrats to redoubled exertion to bring
out every vote which can be mustered dur
ing to-day and to-morrow in behalf of the
straight-out-and-out Democratic ticket,
that the defeat of Radicalism may he
crushing, thorough and beyond remedy.
Let Richmond enroll herself as the “ban
ner county " in the repudiation of the rob
ber crew. The enemy is contemplating
heavy reinforcements from the negroes of the
country to-day. Let the white Democrats
rally to the polls with a unanimity worthy
of the grave issues involved, and all will
be well.
THE DISPOSITION OF THE BALLOT' BOX.
The protection of the ballot box against
exposure to the possibility of being tarn
pered with after the close of the polls en
gaged the serious consideration of the
leaders of each party yesterday, the man
agers having, up to the hour of closing,
failed to agree upon what course they
would pursue. Divers propositions were
submitted to the managers concerning its
disposition during the night. Among the
propositions made was one—agreed upou
by all of the candidates of the two parties,
save and except Stallings, the Radical nomi
nee for County Treasurer—that the b illot
box should be committed during the uight
to the custody of either one of the managers
with three citizens from each party to “ sit
up” with it. Nothing definite, however,
was fixed upon until the polls closed. As
soon as the polls were announced closed,
the whites, to preserve the parity of
the ballot box, mounted the platform in
front of the door ot the court room, which
the managers had vacated, and vigilautly
watched the sealing of the box, fearful to
trust it to the unwatched manipulation ot
Cory and his associates. The sealing pro
cess consumated, curiosity was on tip toe
to know if the box was to be removed from
the building. The managers at first gra
ciously consented to deliver the keys to
certain citizens, one of the managers taking
custody of the box. As the box was con
structed of wood, not iron-clad and dotible
turreted, with secret spring guns in con
tinual revolution, and there being no cer
tiinty as to which one of the managers
might assume charge of it, the crowd
spurned that proposition as not exactly
the protection most to be desired. The
managers and representatives of the two
parties, in conference, then proposed that
the box should remain in the court room,
in charge of one of the managers and two
representatives each from the Democratic
and Republican parties. General and
strong opposition being felt to the plan
of removing the box, this latter arrange
ment was heartily and universally applaud
ed. On the part of the Demociats, Maj.
Geo. T. Barnes and Capt. W. B Youug
were selected, and took charge of their sa
cred trust amid enthusiastic cheers—the
Republicans uaming for the same sei vice
Mr. A. Grant and Dick Butler (colored).
On the part of the managers, Mr. Henry
Jones took custody of the box.
Satisfied with this arrangement, the
crowd dispersed.

To Oon Business Men.— lt is especially
important that the business men of Au
gusta should attend the polls as many
hours as their interests will all .w, just to
observe the unanimity with which negro
draymen, porters and servants in their em
ploy are rushing to the support of that
party at variance with all the better ma
terial and commercial interests of the city.
Understand the character of the men you
are encouraging. Find it out by watching
the direction of their votes. There Is no
surer test of their devotion or indifference
to yonr prosperity andtthat of the city.

Don’t Postpone. —We understand that
about 1,000 Democrats in Augusta alone
have not as yet voted. Many of these are
holding off, thinking that it will be easier
to vote on the third day than on the first
or second. This may be a fatal error. We
call upon onr friends to vote as soon as
they possibly can and not to postpone this
duty a minute later than they can help.
So far, the polls have been of easy access.
It may not be so to-day and to-morrow.

A Mass Meeting es the Catholics of
Augusta to Sympathize With the Pope.
THE ACTION OF THE CATHOLICS OF AU
GUSTA, QA., IX REFERENCE TO THE SPO
LIATION OP THE SOVEREIGN PONTIFF,
POPE PIUS IX, BY VICTOR EMMANUEL,
KING OP SARDINIA.
On Sunday, 10th Inst., the Right Rev.
Bishop Persico, of Savannah, Ga., address
ed the congregation of St. Patrick’s, in
this city, on the temporal power of the
Pope, and called on the members of the
congregation to meet that evening, in the
old church, for the purpose of protesting
against the occupation of Rome by the
King of Italy.
At 7 o’clock on Sunday evening the male
members of the congregation assembled in
large numbers at the old church, during
which the Right Rev. Bishop Persico, the
Very Rev. Wm. Hamilton and the Rev.
James O’Hara were conducted to seats on
a platform prepared for them.
On taking the Chair, the Bishop explain
ed the object of the meeting, when, on mo
tion, A. C. DeCottes, Esq., was requested
to act as Secretary.
A committee of twenty-two, representing
the congregation, were appointed to draw
up a protest, setting forth their condemna
tion of the usurpation of the Papal States
by Victor Emmanuel.
After the committee retired P. F. Dunn,
Esq., and Patrick Walsh, Esq., address
ed the meeting in a forcible manner.
The committee, through their Secretary,
requested that time would be given until
the following Sunday, after High Mass,
when the committee would report; which
was granted.
The Very Rev. Wm. Hamilton, V. G , who
was installed Pastor of the congregation on
that day (left vacant by the death of the
venerable Father Duggan) was called on
by the members of his flock to come for
ward and address the meeting. Iu doing
so he was enthusiastically received, when
the Very Rev. Fa'her thanked them for
their very kind reception, stating that he
was proud to be their Pastor, and honored
by being a Catholic Priest. Yet at that
particular occasion he would not address
them as Pastor or Priest, but as an Irish
man who remembered the great charity of
our Holy Father, Pope Pius the Ninth,
during the years of famine and desolation
which Ireland had to pass through. He
could not forget how our noble Pontiff
came forward with his offering from the
scanty means left at his disposal to assist
our native land. That, not having means
sufficient to gratify his intense charity, he
hal the sacred vessels of the church melted
to relieve starving Ireland. He claimed
for Ireland and the Irish the right above
all uations in the world to guard and de
fend the Holy Father aud the patrimony of
St. Peter. Persecution had singled them
out and made them handmaids In adversity.
In their sufferings they were alike, as it was
for their faith they were persecuted.
The Very Rev. Father concluded by say
ing that there were thousands of Irishmen
in this country who were ready to sacrifice
their 1 ifea iu the defense of the Holy Father
if the time ever came when It would be re
quired, as well as their brave and noble
countrymen who distinguished themselves
at the battle of Mentana. Never In the
history of the Catholic Church, in this city,
did an address awaken snch a hearty en
thusiasm as that which fell from the lips of
the eloquent Father on this occasion.
On Sunday last the meeting was organ
ized by calling Mr. James Gargajn to take
the Chab\ and Mr. J. D. Kavanagh to act
as Secretary, when the fodowing protest
wes read by the Secretary and adopted
unanimously:
" A PROTEST.
We, the Catholics of Augusta, Georgia,
humbly conscious of the paucity of our
numbers as compared with the many mil
lions of our brethren throughout the world,
yet mindful that the still small voice can
be heard in heaven and on earth as well as
the shout of many nations, do hereby sol
emnly unite with every Catholic and with
every man of good will throughout the
world, for the purpose of protesting against
the invasion of the States of the Church by
the King of Sardinia and the Florentine
Government.
We protest against the spoliation of our
Holy Father, the Pope, because we believe
l»iin to lie the Vicar of Christ upon earth,
and teacher of infallible truth.
We prote t against the invasion of his
temporal possessions, because, as lovers of
justice and enemies of robbery, we hold
that the act of King Victor Emmauuelis in
defensible both in law and morals, and is
also a scandal to social order, seeing that
no earthly ruler holds his domain by titles
stronger, more ancient or better secured
than Pius IX.
We protest against the spoliation of our
Holy Father, the Pope, because an iu9nlt
to him is an insult to God, whose Vicar he
is, and, therefore, to ttie whole Catholic
world.
We protest against the sacrilegious inva
sion of Rome, because it impprils th* inde
pendence of the Sovereign Pontiff, so ne
cessary to the well being of the Church,
and subjects the Holy Father to the caprice
of hostile Powers, whose deeds ar.: rather
tho*eof darkness than of light.
Wc protest against the act of the King
of Sardinia, and the Florentine Govern
ment, because, as a virtual prisoner, the
Pope is barred from that perfect Intercourse
with the Bishops, Priests and Laity of the
Catholic Church (so beautifully expressed
by some of our brethren in the North) as
“ all hi tory bears witness to the fact that
in proportion as thi9 facility of intercourse
has existed, the true faith has bean pre
served in its purity and integrity, and the
maxims ot the Gospel of Jesus Christ up
held in the face of a hostile world."
And since the invasion of Rome has been
undertaken and accomplished at a time
when a General Council was being held
therein, under the Presidency of the Su
preme Pontiff, we protest against the vio
lence that has interrupted its deliberations,
and we hold the Florentine Government
responsible for the outrage offered to the
assembled Bishops of the universe, an<f for
the injury done to the faithful, by depriv
ing them* for an indefinite time, of the
blessings the Council was calculated to
confer.
For the sake of honor and justice, in the
interests of religion and good order, and
for the perpetnatlon of righteous freedom
throughout the world, we call upon all the
good and true everywhere to unite with ns
in denunciation of the great crime com
mitted by the Piedmontese King against
the laws of nations, just as we appeal to
all Catholics to protest against it as a sac
rilege as well as a robbery.
In expressing our sorrow and sympathy
to the Holy Father, we promise to pray un
ceasingly for his welfare and deliverance,
and patiently abide the rescue which God
will surely send at last. We promise, too,
to aid him in all lawful ways, and as our
faith directs, trusting implicitly in that
Almighty Hand which never fails to pun
ish, in the proper season, the violence, the
outrages, and the desecrations of the brntal
arm of flesh.
