THE SOUTHERN ELECTIONS

The south Carolina elections, involving the
ratification of the reconstructed State constitu-
t.on. Governor, Legislatures and members of
the lower house of Congress. appear TO have
gone pretty thoroughly Radical. In this State
there are about four hundred Thousand blacks
end three hundred thousand whites.
In Louisiana. from some splits and dissen-
sIOns among the Republicans, the results ofthe
elections in progress are doubtful. although IL
rs probable the con stitution will be ratified,
from The general turnout and fusion of the Re-
puhicsns, blacks and whites, Radicals and Con-
ssrvatives on that question, against the opposl-
ton party.
In Georgia, the registered voters on the two
sides are nearly equal IN numbers, and the ele-
msnts in opposition te the Radical are prepar-
ed for a sharp fight The elections come off
this v Elk snd are to continue for five days
bsgIEniDg to-day, The contest is very warm
ard spirited, with the chances, at the present
writing, decidedly in favor of the Conserva-
tiyes. The following are the candidates
FOr Governor.
Conservative. Radical.
John IL. Gordon. Robert Il. Bullock.
For CoHgrsss.
=. Nelson Tilt. n. II. Whiteley
, u W. Alexander. William y. Edwards

.. Il. NJ. Young. James Atkins.
In North Carolina the elections, beginning
OF Tuesday of this week, will last threetiays
on ratification of new constitution, ehoi ce of
Governor, Leglslature.&e. As the rep ublicans
have two tickets in the field, radical and indie
pendent radical, and rs the registered white
voters in this State are in heavy majority, the
presumption is that for the offices in voIved ne
Conservatives Will carry the State. Both
Of h.
Constitution, and IL will probably be carried
The FLORIDA election il also close at hand
but there. from the majority of the registered
blacks, the result will probably be radical
throughout.
The Virginia and Mississippi Con ventions
are just closing up their labors, Arkansas is on
the way TO Washington for admission INTO
Congress, while Texas is only about to begin
the work of framing a constitution.

A BRIDE DENIES Her MARRIAGE.-The
Louisville "Courier" relates the following: A
few months ago, O. young lady OF this city 7isi-
ted St. Louis and during her stay IN that place
formed the acquaintance Of ayoung gentleman,
who became cnamored Of her. She encouraged
his suit, but an obstacle arose in the shape OF
an opposition on the part of the stern parents
Of the youug lady, which threatened for time
to dash their CUP of bliss to the earth.
But in this case, as in most other such affairs,
love knew no barrier to the contamination or
their most dovout wish. A clandestine MARI
age was arranged, and, it was agreed between
them that she should return to louisville and
keep it profound secret until certain time,
when he would come and claim her as his bride.
They we're accordingly married. and the honey
known in the city.
On Saturday last the young man arrived, and
rushed with all the zeal of devoted husband
to claim his wife. His feelings can better be
imagined than described, upon being told by
the woman who had sOlemnly vowed IN the
sight Of God and man to be his through lie,
that she had no knowledge OF any marriage
ever having taken place between them Inc
young man produced the marriage certificate ;
insisted on his moral right to CLAIM her as MS
wife, but the young lady Indignantly denied
the soft impeachment, voWing that she had
never married him and never would, The par
ties are both of high social position, and as the
Young man insists On prosecuting his claim We
may look for some interesting Developments,
unless the refractory bride acknowledges the
corn and "stares fate 10 the face.
