NASHVILLE, September pa number
of persons have been arraigned for illegal
voting in the municipal election last
Saturday. All but one were committed
for trial, not being able to give bonds 10
$1,000. This evening four or Eve Of them
were taken from Jail upon a writ of ha-
beas corpus issued by John Hugh Smith,
Judge of the Criminal Court, and admit.
ted to bail in $500 each, j. N. Phillips, of
Gsllatin militia notoriety, going on all
their bonds except one. Phillips has no
property. The remaining one gave his
own bond. One of the accused swore he
owned house worth three or four hun
dred dollars which stands on rented
lot .st..
Enos Hopkins, charged with unlawful
conduct as Commissioner of Registration,
who was arrested yesterday, appeared
before Justice Thurnock to-day, aud,
waving preliminary trial, gave bond in
$1,000. The citizens, both Democratic
and Republican, were much exasperated
at the frauds which they charge against
Alden and his supporters, and have
organized committees of inquiry in all
the wards to collect facts.
1t is thought the election will be con-
tested. The negroes who favored Thomp-
son, independent Republican, for Mayor,
are especially energetic in the prosecu-
ton of the election frauds. 1t has been
proved that large proportion of those
elected to the City Council Saturday,
have no property, and are therefore incl
igible. Some Of the Thornberg Republic
cans are Withdrawing their names from
the official bonds of the city and county
officers heretofore elected.
A personal difficulty occurred this af-
ternoon between Pat Walsh, who is pro-
prietor Of saloon on the corner of Cherry
and Deadrick streets, and John Law
renee, correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette. Walsh charges Lawrence with
stating falsely in his dispatch to the
Gazette last Saturday that shot
was fred at the Alden procession from
the window Of his storeroom, opposite the
saloon. Yesterday Walsh denounced
him as a wilful liar, and to-day further
words occurred betwees them, bringing
on blows, when Walsh kicked Lawrence
several: times, and then thrust his hand
into his pocket, when Lawrence ran and
Walsh fred after him, but without effect.

WEDNESDAY night negroes were as
sembled on the sidewalk of Csrondelst,
between Julia and Girod streets, and
whenever stray horse or courier from
the procession passed, they were sssailed
BY these negroes with the most disgust
ing and insulting cries. Their shouts for
Grant and Colfax would be supplemented
with such phrases as lyon id Demo-

These remarks were wholly gratuitous,
and intended to create difficulty. One
returning club, late at night, being in
suited in this manner, gave chase to the
negroes and drove them of, using some
of them little roughly.-Nep Orleans

We should have inclined to say the

gang at midnight pass down Adams

song which made night hideous, and
in white men would have been regarded
as amounting to breach Of the peace.

From the New Orleans Times, Sept. 81
Some two weeks since, negro named
Sandy Packer, a slave formerly belong
ing TO Mr.. P. 7. Labarre, made political
speech at Gretna. At that speech. which
was filed with menaces, Packer stated
that the only way for the Radicals to
hope to succeed in carrying the election
BY the ballot-box, was to apply the torch.
We do not know how close msy be the
connection between this infamous threat
and the FIRE that took place at Gretna,
yesterday merging We report the me-
mace of Packer, and allow our readers to
form their own judgment
Saturday morning at about one o clock,
a lady, who happened to be up, saw, from
her window, negro, with lighted torch
in his hand, standing upon the roof of an
unoccupied house. She gave the alarm,
but no one responded at the time. About
half an hour after this the alarm OF fire
was given by the ringing Of the bells Of
the FIRE companies of Gretna and of the
ferry boat,
The citizens, on rushing to the spot,
found two houses burning From the
brief space Of time which had interviewed
from the FIRST alarm, it was supposed that
the houses had been saturated with oil or
some other combustible material. Al
though every exertion was made, and q
reinforcement Of Jefferson Fire Company
No. %, and two companies from Algiers,
had reached the spot, all efforts were I'M
awaiting, and the flames ran from house
to house through two entire blocks, on
each side Of the street The citizens
called upon the negroes to assist in re-
moving the furniture. Some OF them
refused, but they were compelled By the
citizens 10 work.
The houses burnt we're 90 First street.
in the principal part Of the town. Be
ginning on First street, the flames ran
down Lafayette avenue. Out Of the en-
tire two squares but two houses we're
saved. The value Of the property de-
sfroyed is estimated 81 about $25. 900.

Letter of Mr.. Hill.

On our outside appears the letter OF
Hon. B. H. Hill in relation to the affair
at Camilla, which should be read by all
Northern men especially. 1t was adj
dressed to the New York Tribune, and
should have been treated by it with can
dor, instead of being perverted and mis-
construed for party purposes, which is
precisely what is done BY that paper.
How utterly soulless must be the man
who is so without sympathy for the op-
pressed that he can make their case worse
by malicious vituperation, when they
present calmly and truthfully the facts in
their case which 90 fairly to their de-
tense. The freedmen have right to bear

Tribune, and insists it is all right,
