NEwYORK, Oct 4-The New York Herald $
special from Jackson, Mississippi, on the 3D.
says the election passed off very quietly, yes
terday. The vote for Governor will be yery
close between Judge Fisher and General Hum
phreys, though returns from southern portions
OF the state Will probably prove the election of
the former. Humphreys is not eligible
not having been pardoned by the President
and II VIII be unfortunate for the State if he is
elected.
In places where lscal candidates have sprung
the question of admission of negro testimony
In civil courts, the non admission candidates
are successful, repudlating the proclamation of
Governor Sharkey on the subject
Returns come in slowly, there being but few
mail routes established. The Legislature meets
next Monday week, and many ofthe members
will bring election tickets with their creden-
tials.
General repudiation of everything looking
towards the civilization of the negroes may
be expected.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3.-The Democratic

white race. They recommend the calling of a
Convention to adopt a constitution expressive of
the will of the people. They recommend petit

emancipation policy, and demand the repeal
