cessary preparations were made by the city
authorities yesterday to preserve the peace. The
polls opened at 8 O'Clock, and the colored
League, organized en- n1dSse, formed in column
at the polling place, till noon, when six hun.
dred and eighty nine votes had been cast and
nearly all the negroes had voted. Certificates
were furnished by the League to many negroes
from Georgia, who voted the radical ticket. The
negro vote was cast solid for the radicals The
Metropolitan Police distributed radical tickets
to negroes. The straight radical tickets were
stamped with a broadaxe, meaning that the axe
is laid at the root of the tree. This was done to
prevent counterfeiting, and for the benefit of
such negroes as could not read.
The utmost order and good feeling prevailed
all day and night, and there was no intoxica-
tion. The whites who were not radicals held no
conversation with the negroes, but let them
have their own way.
The whole number of votes cast in the city is
925. Brownlow received 500, Etheridge 95,
Stokes S22, Fleming independently 80. The
whole radical ticket is elected by an over
whelming majority. Brownlow's majority in

Etheridge and Maynard spoke at Kingston on
Wednesday. Colonel Byrd, a conservative, had
the flag of his old regiment, the LIST Tennessee
Infantry, on the stand while Ethendge was
speaking. After the speaking was done the
radicals captured the flag for their stand. The
conservatives formed to charge and retake the
flag, but were prevented by Etheridge. No
other disturbance took place. All was quiet at
last accounts, but the flag has not yet been re-
turned.
