Had the other 1911 voters cast their suffra-
ges, Augusta could have elected the District
Delegate easily So many whites falling to

fiod. however, to be able to state that Mr.
southall is elected by 116 majority in the

The election which took place here: On
Tuesday last passed off very quietly, no
disturbance Of any kind having occurred
The colored people turned out and polled5
very nearly their registered strength, while
the whites failed here, as we'll at other
points in the county, to poll any thing like
their strength We can not account for this
apathy on the part Of the whites, especially
in an election of SO much Importance as that
just held and one in which their pecuniary
interests were SO much at stake We trust
that no bad effects will result from the fail
ure of go many whites to vote, but if It
should prove otherwise the blame will fall
heavily on those who allowed their apathy
to damage the interests of themselves, their
neighbors, their posterity and their State.
Hunnicutt addressed crowd, on the 21st,
at the capitol square, Richmond. He de-
nounced the Northern men in Richmond,
one of whom called him id liar. The
negroes attempted to mob him but caught
an unofFending German, who was rescued
by the police. The negroes. followed them
TO the station house. throwing stones and
behaving in very dsorderly manner. e
The news from Italy is conflicting. One
repo TT states that the Garibaldians were re-,
treating from Rome, while another states
that Menotti Garibaldi waa holding his po-
sition and had been largely reinforced
France was preparing to enforce the carrying
out of the treaty with Italy to protect Rome
from invasion from Italian territory. Italy
has agreed to carry out the treaty and
France had ceased preparations.

We learn from our Richmond Exchanges
that several disturbances occurred among
the colored people on account of some Of
them voting the conservative ticket. The
military were called out and quelled ahe dis,
turbances, in. each instance, speedily. A
number of arrests were made.
The election returns from tho State are
90 indefinite, as yet, due to the Ballot
system, that we are unable to form correct
opinion as to the result in the State. We
hope to be able to give it in full in our
next paa ,aslage. a1l@ esn
