captain. Mr. Blodgett would swear Mr..
BlOdgett while down in Augusta was
elected by his neighbors to make a consti-

House-The Senate appropriation for i'm.
peachment was considered.
Eldridge said it was evident that $4,000
would not pay the expenses of the impeach-
ment trial, and he thought this was a mere
blind. Why did not the committee come
out boldly and say this was mere bagatelle
to operate on the public mind
Washburne said if fanother appropriation
was required he would vote for it, and he
believed it would be worth $780, 900 to pay
the expense.
Mr.. Eldridge asked if he understood that
the gentleman would give Sl00 900 to make
the impeachment trial a success
Mr.. Washburne replied that he had not
exactly said that, but what he meant was

AUGUSTA, April 20.-The election is pro-
crossing without collision. The negroes,
with few exceptions, voted the radical
ticket. They marched in squads from the
| country to the polls, with banners flying,
and yelling for Bullock. Whenever col
ored voter was suspected he was set upon
and intimidated. In this way some were
| deferred from voting the Democratic ticket.
They generally went solid for the radical
party. The excitement is intense, and but
little is needed to bring on collision.
The whites generally remained away from
the polls, and abstained from adding to the
excitement. About 2200 votes were polled,
| nearly 1000 of which are negroes. The
total registered vote in the county is $500.
Columns, Ca, April 20.-The election is
proceeding quietly. Total vote to-day 704-
