The Chairman of the Board in this place
is one E. K Proctor, who is now candi-
date for tho Legislature. This fellow came
here few years ago, he said, from Eng
land, but nobody believed him. He was
militia officer, and was once postmaster
somewhere. yet still he registers himself,
but rejects every white man he can on the
most frivolous pretexts
If this election is carried it will be done
by cheating the people out of the little
right granted by the reconstruction acts.
The new registration will add to the list
more colored than white votes in the East,
and the election in many places will be con-
Quoted in the most partiZan manner by APP
pointees of the Radical party. And it
would not surprise us if Gen. Candy would
have to carry out his threat to order new
elections in many places where these things
are fraudulently conducted, as a record
Will be kept, and the whole affair reported
for investigation, if not done according to
law. X.
