The crcu wlich NOW has its mammoth pavilion
spread on the CitadefSquare, is, beyond compari
son, the finest EXHIBITION Of the kind that ha:
visited Charleston since the close Of the war. o

evidence. For the list tw> nights, although the

TIE CONTENTION z ELEcTIoN.-The eloetoI

few took any interest in the proceedings. At th'
different polls the scenes wero the same IS .ost
enacted on the previous day. With the exception
Of the Washington Engine House, the polls looked
like banquet halls deserted, ths voters being lev
and thoir attendance irregular; but at that pre-
oiuct there was perfect blackberry Jam, th
voters staudng six and eight deep around th
house. The crowd was, however, perfectly goo'
humorsd, and they evidently thought voting
bigger lob than they had ever done before. Tler
was no attempt at any disturbai ce, and beyont
the Inconvenience occasioned by the absence o
the freedmen from their regular employmsnts
the election was ur.noticod. The last vote has
however, been polled, and, strange to say,
smaller number have voted than were registered
This discrepancy Is singular when it Is known tina
1t Richmond and other cities the opposite resul
was obtained. There Is no Conservative party II
this state-all are Black Republicans, oied in tht
wool, and why they should reirain from "positioi
