There is hardly any foundation for this accusation. The district was conceded to Col. Cand ler by 3,000 majority, long before the election—he fell behind some thing over 1 700. This, itself, ought to show there were no frauds in the elebtion. The truth of the matter is, in some of the counties that Candler carried, he had no workers at the polls, but the Pick ett men were out in full. Right here in Banks the Pickett men had three or four kinds of tick ets in the field, while Candler had nothing hut the straight democrat ic ticket. It looks like if frauds wers committed anywhere, they would be on the Pickett side. Harrison’s Mail.

A comutjiLteft of citizens appointed to consider, and il advisable to arrange for a grand celebration by the republi cans of the recent victory, met at the Denison house this evening. Upon lull consideration it was concluded that as business has been so Jong in terrupted by politics, and as the de sire is now general that ordinary offic ers haye attention that no further de mocstraiions are desirable.

The federal grand jury met this af ternoon, and was given a comprehen- sive charge by Judge W. A. Woods. Sj Ccik'.ng of tho yioia.icns of election laws, be oaid the press has charged that franas were committed during the late election, and that it is the ju- ry’s duty to investigate tho truth. Especial attention was the fact that attempt to be bribed does not constitute an offense, hut while it is not an offense to attempt, it is an of fense to advise another to bribe, or in any way violate tho election laws. The jury was also instructed with re gard to tho duties ot election officer*, and the penalties attatohed to their r.egleot or perversion.

A Sad Story Connected to Preju dice the North Agaiust the South. Boston, Nov. 11,—A family of ten persons arrived in Boston yes terday, the'head of which is Elb lidge J. Jordan, aged about forty seven, a native of Maine, an ex-sol dier in the union army, who four years ago went to North Carolina, and two years ago opened a fruit store in Durham. Jordan says he has always been a republican, and makes the following statement: Last Tuesday he was a candidate for the office of constable. The men in charge of the polls chal lenged more than two hundred col ored voterp some of whom had been known as voters for the last two years, and on account of ibis delay there were about a hundred colored voters with republican bal lots in their hands left standing in line when the polls closed, the whites and blacks depositing their ballots in separate boxes The votes were not counted until the next day, when it was announced that the democratic candidate was elected by fifty-two .voles. There was some talk of contest ing the election, and Wednesday at midnight Jordan was awakened and called Jo his door Here he found seven or eight men with handkerchiefs covering their faces, who ordered him not to go from his home before 6 o’clock in the morning, but to leave town on the 8 o'clock train. He declared he had done nothing wrong, but was ordered to leave town or he would he killed He had no money to pay for traveling. The visitors said they would provide the money. An hour later they returned and said they would give bim no money, but would provide for his family. At daylight Jordan went to a friend tried to borrow some money. His friend said he could not get any money until the bank opened. Jordan did not succeed in obtaining money before eight o’clock The train started an hour later. While he was in his store, three men enter cd the place and hurried bim out to a carriage and drove off with the avow ed inton’ion of killing him. This act of violence was seen by some of the leading business men of the town, al though democrats, fearing that a polit ical murder would reflect severely up on the town, took horses and rode af ter the party, overtaking them about a mile aud a half trom town. By their influence, the would-be-murderers w ere persuaded to take Jordan back to his home; but they told him they could not control the worse element sufficiently to jirotect him if he remain ed and bo leaving everything in the house and store, and taking almost nothing except thoelothiag they wore, the family left town at noon, men who resided near Jordan providing the money to pay traveling expenses to Boston. They left Norfolk, Friday afternoon on the steamer D. H. Miller and arrived in Boston, Sunday after- noon. To-night they go back to Port land, and from there to Freeport, the money for this purpose having been given by Bos’on men, to whom they applied for aid. W.
