Yesterday the first general negro ballot
ever cast IN this country was hpolled over
theState Of Tennessee, and, although from
the returns and from our own personal obs
seryatiOns, the farce Is, as was expected,
sufieiently complete, yet it does not lessen
theIexeeptional significance and interest of
the OCCASION The day, W katever may be
its CONSEQUENCES, is historic. ,ie9 a75a ''9e- 20
We cannot shut our eyes, and we ought
not TO close our senses to the fact that the
negroes voted in most cases like sheep, fol-
lowing the tinkle OF the Radical bell, and

of doors, may get an accurate glimpse of
that which has inspired so much curiosity.

During Wednesday night it rained. It
was not violent fall of water, however,
but a gentle shower that Just moistened
the ground sufficiently to soil ones neatly
polished boots. By eight o'clock the sun
r0se-that is, the clouds disappeared before
that august inminary-aDd the brilliant
light, by contrast with the preceding shad-
oW and fast retiring troops of sky gray
mist, shed peculiar radiance over the city
and the adjacent Countrywide hills, the
circle of the river, and the corn-crowd-
ed.+ ffHit-ladeh fields and orchards. Nor
wasiiB a mite tee hot. Nature seemed to
. be in good humer with herself, and put
on her holiday, airs, as we'll as her Sunday
iinery.r And indeed it was sort or week.
