The First Day's Fight. EVERYTHING QUIET AND OR DERLY. 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.

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. Attractive Sign.— The portraiture of the vigilant and sprightly “ News Boy ” in front of the news and periodical depot of onr neighbor Quinn emanated from our versatile friend, Matt O’Brien, who never gets np a bad job.

Thy King’s Cbromo Grab Bag. 1 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. River News.— The steamers Katie and Rosa departed for Savannah at 5 and 6 o’clock, respectively, yesterday morning. The river, at 8, p. m., yesterday, indicated a slight rise since last report, registering 6 feet. 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.
