THERE was an election for mayor and city
officers in Alexandria, Va, on Tuesday last,
at which the colored citizens demanded their
right to vote under the provisions of the new
reconstruction bill passed last Saturday over

to receive their votes, whereupon the negroes
opened polls oftheir own, and gave one thou

election passed off without disorder. Count

The solution Of the national problem was
foreshown in miniature in the District OF
Columbia the other day. Georgetown was
redeemed by Radical voters. 1t was shown
that the colored men know better than to
vote with the pro-slavery party, and that
--h;ea -7sqg- r-,3 asle-ea men San hqth v0to
without a war of races. Probably there
was some danger Of disorder to be guarded
against, but it was easily guarded against
and effectually. There was never a more
peaceful election. The same thing can be
repeated on a grand scale As to the ap-
prehension of "a war of races in such an
event, the Georgetown experiment also fur
nishes a striking Illustration of the facility
with which even preiudiced whites become
ashamed Of their prejudice and lose all their
aversion to seeing the negro at the ballot
box i correspondent who visited the polls
on the occasion named says:
A venerable eolored citizen gives US
ticket Of the kind be voted Ii had at the
top a picture Of the black mans friend,
Father Abraham. Passing on TO one poll,
we found an orderly crowd about ouetourth
blacks Policemen were stationed at the
window where the tickets were handed in,
but this display of uniforms and clubs ap-
peared to be entirely unnecessary, unless il
was to curb the rebeEous spirits Of the ''se-
ccsh who indicated their opposition by
wry faces and contemptuous mein.
One Of them broke out in this strain
''These damn nigger5 only had to present
themselves to the board Of registry and Ger
tify that they were residents of Georgetown,
and they were enrolled but we white folks
had to answer lot of questions, such as
Did you aid or assist the rebellionY and we
had to swear we were loyal. Here Is the
rub. These questions were not asked the
freedmen because they were all loyal. At
another poll inan adjoining ward the colored
voters numbered four ffths They were
ranged in long line and voted in turn
| Two negro voters made tally of each voter,
and two others stood ready to vouch for any
voter Of whom there might be any doubt in
! identity or name A more orderly election
( | never saw, and this was also the testimony
of the gentleman with me, who is an old pro-
slavery Democrat He came away saying:
These men are intelligent enough to vote,
respectable enough; more decently behaved
men | never saw; they are loyal, and what
is the reason they should not vote? There
is no reason. In fact, he grew decidedly
enthusiastic in favor of universal suffrage,
and boldly announced that hencetorth he
was on the side Of justice and right, and
