The Election i'm Georgia.

SAVANNAH, GA, April 2l.-The Conser-
natives are buoyant and hopeful this the
second day of the election. The Demo-
cratic votes to-day are ten to one Of the
Radicals. The Conservative negroes, un-
der the influence of the whites present, are
defiant and active. An effort was made by
the Radical negroes to drive the Conserva-
tive negro electioneerers from the polls, but
it failed. The polls closed with the Radi-
cal negroes and leaders disheartened at the
prospect that in the next two days the Con-
servatives will gain ground. The election
is passing off quietly, with no danger ap-
pretended except from Radical influence.
Conservative meetings are being held to-
night, and the Conservatives are fully alive
to the Importance of the crisis. The polls
were attended all day by the most respecta-
BILE, influential, and intellectual men of Sa-
vannah.
The vote polled SO far in the city is 1880,
and in the county, LOGS j; total, 3,458.
CoLuMBUs,lGA., April 2l.-Everything is
quiet. The Radicals are desperate and
tricky. The votes polled to-day were 1913,
mostly by negroes, and many Of them tor
the Democratic ticket.
The Democrats are in high spirits, and
the couriers from the counties of Chatta-
hoochie, Marion, Stewart, and Randolph,
bring in the most cheering news
AUGUSTA, GA, April 2l.-The election is
progressing without serious disturbance
The blacks remain about the polls cleo
tioneering for the Radical ticket. The De
mocratic vote is large to-day, but the Radi-
calls will carry the county. The military

RoBBERY-NEARLY.M uRDER.-Ont the 9Th
instant, about two miles from Deerfeld. in
Augusta county, o man by the name Of
Henry Miller was knocked on the head and
robbed OF $1,000 whilst passing alone
through some thick woods. He was knocked
senseless, and when he recovered he found
himself tied by the heels to a pine tree, his
hands tied to his thighs, and his handker-
chief tired around his neck. Some persons
who heard the cry of murder repaired to
the spot, and rescued him from his bound
condition. A negro man who had cut a
stout cane was with him a short time before
tue occurrence, and was upon the spot
shortly after. Suspicion very naturally
attaches to him.-Stdunton Spectator.

MCCLUNG-DR. RUCKER. = The April
term of the Nicholas County Circuit Court
commenced on the 9th and closed on the
18th instant. The business of most impor-
lance done by the court was the trial of
Joseph McClung, indicted for the murder Of
John McCue during the war. The accused
was acquitted. And DR.. William P. Rucker,
who has been for some time confined in the
Jail of the county under a commitment, was
indicted by the grand jury, but upon de-
murrer the Indictment against him was
held to be insufficient !; whereupon the coun-
sci for the accused waived on examination
befor q justice, and the said Rucker was
bailed in the penalty Of $4,000 to appear at
the next term of the said court to answer
an indictment if one should be preferred

REPUDIATIoN.-The class Of persons most
interested in bringing about an early re-
sumption of specie payments are the public
creditors. Not because Government bonds
will be in better credit and sell at a higher
price when the Treasury again pays specie !;
not for the sake Of the profit they will thus
make; but because so long as the people at
large are forced to deal in deprecated
paper the bondholders, who are paid their
interest in coin, will be looked upon with
Jealousy as q favored class. The cry that
the money which is good enough for the
people is good enough for the b~ondholder
cannot be put down by logic. For it is true
that the laborer ought to be paid his wages
in good money-in just as good money as
that in which any class of capitalists receive
their interest.-Round Table.
