RICHMOND ELECTION,

The Wing says the election passed off
very quietly in that city on Tuesday.
There was good deal of electioneering
'ustle, but no unseemly excitement.
The interest of the community was
:hiedy centered in the contest for Mayor
md Sheriff The election for Mayor re.
ulted in the choice of n. A. Sturdivant,
" a majority of GA over his competitor,
Nm. Taylor. The only difference in
he political status ofthe candidates, that
We can hear of, was that Mr.. StVdivant
vas better and more useful Confede-
ate during the war than Mr.. Taylor;
out this may not prevent him from ma
King a good Mayor. We trust that he is
low perfectly loyal citizen. Some men
hat were soldiers and officers in the
rebel army, will prove truer to the coun-
Try and more trustworthy than those
who remained quietly athome and were
content to vent their spleen against the
government at safe distance from the
lannon's mouth. Still it cannot be de.
Ned that Mr.. Sturdivant's popularity
was greatly enhanced by the fact that he
lad been Major in the Confederate ar.
ny, while Mr.. Taylor's prospects were
equally damaged by his avowal on the
we of the election that he had always
leen firm Union man, and consistent
opponent of the rebellion.

Mutinous Conduct of the One Hundred
and Sixty-Fifth New York Zouaves.
from the Charleston Conril

From the Charleston Courer.l
We are indebted to Captain Lewis, of
the steamer Fannie, for copies of the
Charleston Courier of July IS, from
which we make extracts:
We regret to learn that the One Hun
dred and Sixty-fifth Regiment New
York Volunteers Duryea's Zouaves)
since the part taken by them in the late
| disturbances, and their subsequent re-
moval to MorrisIsland, have exhibited
very unbecoming, if not mutinous
spirit of characterization.
| This unsoldierly and ineXcusable con-
| duct on the part of veterans, more par
| ticularly, called forth peremptory Or
der from General Gilmore, who, a vete-
ran soldier himself, exacts the strictest
discipline of his command, taking away
the colors of the Zouaves.
In accordance with this order Generals
Hatch and Bennett, accompanied by
theirrespectives stalls, proceeded last week
| to Morris Island for the purpose indica-
ted. The order of General Gilmore was
| read to the colonel in command of the
Zouaves, ana the colors demanded. The
| colonel refused to obey the order to de-
liver up his colors. He was thereupon
placed in close arrest, the order made
known to the second officer in command,
and a similar demand made upon him
for the colors. This officer, at first, also
gave fiat refusal. To this Gen. Hatch
explained to him the consequences OF
his refusal, and defined the difference
between disobedience of orders, of which
his superior officer, the colonel, had been
guilty, and mutiny, with which he, as
the subordinate, would he charged.
The officer after this explanation pro-
missed to deliver the colors. The guard
was formed, and mai ched to the boat,
but upon reaching it were found to be in
possession of the stats and rubber, but
no colors. The ruse did not succeed.
On its discovery, General Bennett was
ordered by General Hatch to take de-
tachment ofthe Forty-seventh Pennsyl-
vania Regiment and disarm the whole
Zouave Regiment. The regiment was
marched into Fort Wagner, the guns
having been previously loaded with
grape and canister, and trained on the
parade ground. The parapet was MANN
ed by the Forty.seventh Pennsylvania
Regiment and a detachment of the
Third Rhode Island Artillery. Their
orders We're in case of any resistance to
fire on the mutinous troops.
The Zouaves, seeing all further oppo-
sition uselessi quietly stacked their arms
and marched out Of the fort. The Off
GERS and men were marched underguard,
on board asteamer which conveyed them
to Fort Sumter, there to expiate, under
broiling sun, the crime of resistance to
constituted authority.

A SIGNIFICANT STRAw.-A cores
pondent writing from Alabama tells the
following:
ION the train were two ladies from
Decatur in company with major and
lieutenant. They seemed to be very
proud of their ga lants, and paid no at
tention to their old rebel friends. This
at once excited jealousy in the minds OF
their dupes.
II see there's two of our ladies subju-
gated" said a recent rebel major to me.
"Do you know them ?" said I.
"Waal, reckon do, +" said he. "They
were the worst secesh women ever saw;
and I have often heard them declare
they would never smile upon man who
did not go into the Confederate army.
o, no, so it is-friends in prosperity, enc.
mics in adversity.n

FIRE-EATERs GOING TO LEAVE
THE SoUrH.-A correspondent writing
from Alabama, says:
There is another class, consisting of
the original " flre-eaters," "last ditch -
men, who say they cannot and will not
remain in the South or country where
the negroes are free, and who are anx-
ious to dispose of their property to OBJ
tain the means of leaving. Quite a num-
Der of these in the States of South Caro-.
lima, Georgia and Alabama, are discuss
ing the plan of organizing a company OF
the first families of the South" and
emigrating to Brazil, where they can
once more own negroes and live undera
slave Government. Others talk of go
ing to Cuba for the same purpose, and
are offering their lands at a sacrifice.
Most of these people are embraced In
that class who are continually harping
upon the worthlessness and idleness OF
the freedmen and the impossibiiity OF
raising cotton with free labor. My i'm
preston is, that when they see their
neighbors prospecting under the new sys-
TEN they will change their minds, and
continue to remain while longer in the
country.

A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-The following
is from the Memphis Bulletin, of the
18th: IA horrible affair occurred at a
barbecue at Harris School, Olive Branch,
De Soto county, Mississippi, on Satur.
day. A party of ten men, under a young
man named Payne, made an attack upon
Mr.. James c. Brown. He tried to es-
cape as soon as he found the party there,
but was shot with double barrelled shot
gun. He then turned upon his assail-
ants, and fought them until shot the
tenth time. His wife, whilst trying to
protect her husband, was shot through
the shoulder. Miss Collins, who was
present at the barbecue, was shot through
the heart. Mr.. Mcclure was also badly
wounded. Brown shot one of the Paynes
through the shoulder and arm. After
they had shot Brown until he was dead
they came up to him and broke two pis-
tolls over his head. The party then
mounted their horses, threw out rear
guard, and left for parts unknown.

A SEEDY REPUBLIc.-Gen. Sickles,
who has just returned from his South
American mission, reports that in the
republic of Columbia the State rights
doctrine has run to seed. The relation
of the Federal government to the States
is one of entire neutrality. If a revolu-
ton occurs in one of the States, the gov
eminent cannot interfere, but must re-
cognize the party that triumphs. The
presiding officer of the Senate cores
ponding with our vice-President of the
Republic, is elected once month! The
Speaker of the House is chosen for the
same term. The Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court holds his Office for sim
gle term of Court. Suffrage is univer-
sal, Indians and negroes having equal
rights. There is no prejudice against
color; many of the physicians, army
officers and judges being blacks.

South America.

The news from the South American
Republic is said to be interesting, from
the fact that they are most of them at
war. We think it far from being news.
1t would be news, indeed, If any ofthem
were at peace. They are fighting now
| like fiends in Peru and elsewhere; are
trying hard to get into war with Eng
land.
The Steamer Ocean Queen has arrived
| from Aspinwall with important news. =
AT Guayaquil, Ecuador, the President
Garcia Moreno has seized an English
steamer of the Pacific Steam Navigation
Company, while landing, and having
driven the officers and crew ashore at
thepoint of the bayonet, placed troops
and cannon and other munitions of war
| aboard, and steamed for the mouth of
the river, where the revolutionists were
lying at anchor in the vessels seized
from the Government.
She ran into one of these vessels, cut
ting her amidships to the waters edge
and sinking her. After short engage
ment the others surrendered, the bulk of
the people aboard, including the leader,
Urlina, making their escape into the
woods. The prisoners were brought to
Guayaquil and q of them instantly shot.
After this Moreno started for Tumbes,
where he expected to capture more VIC
tins. After his return to Guayaquil, the
President returned the steamer to the
captain, who received her under protest,
and got at the same time twenty thou
sand pounds for thee days services of
the vessel. The seizure is still an open
question, having been referred to the
| manager of the company at Callao. The
President holds that under some old law
spoken of'by Vattell he had Il right to
take the vessel, and the British Consul
appeared to agree with him.
The United States double-ender gum
boat Suwanee arrived at Panama, with
news from Callao to the 9th.
The rebellion in Peru appears to gain
ground. On the 9th bloody engage
ment occurred six miles from Lima, be-
tween $4,000 rebels and 5000 Govern
ment troops, in which the latter was
successful, taking prisoners 100 men and
25 officers, besides the killed.
A few days previously mutiny broke
out aboard the flagship Amazon, block
aiding africa. The mutineers gained pos
session of the ship, under direction of
the officer of the deck. The Admiral
General, Panizo, was shot in his cabin,
and afterwards hanged from the yard
arm. The mutineers afterwards decoy-
ell the captain of the America, and cap
tured his vessel This is the ship re.
Gently sent cut from England. They
also captured the Tumbes, leaving the
Government with only two vessels of
real service.

ORGANIZATION OF CONGRESS

Much political interest now centers In
the organization of the next Congress.
Up to 1868 there was no rule established
TO define the duties of the Clerk holding

much as he pleased in the matter of adj
uniting persons presenting themselves
as members to participatein the organi'
cation of the House. tIis sort OF com

of tie Clerk, who, if he felt SO disposed
might use it arbitrarily, or 10 further DIS
