squads from the country to the polls with
banners flying, and vote for Bullock

sion. About 2200 votes have been polled,
I nezrly 1000 OF which were negroes The
total registered vote in the county is $500.
SAvANNAH, April 2l.-The election is
progressing quietly.
COLUMBUS, April 21.-The election pro-
crosses quietly ;Notal vote yesterday was
7O4, of which 297 were Radicals and 407
| Conservative. Many negroes voted the
Democratic ticket.
MACON, April H.-The election pro-
eeeds quietly. The negroes have the
polls pretty much to themselves. Yes
terday 1850 votes were polled, only 400 OF
which were white.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-Five hun
dred and forty cases, relating TO captured
and abandoned cotton claims. have been
decided by the Court Of Claims, the

New YORK, April 21.-Tde Tri6une's

| Hahn received kilograms from New Or
leans last night that the Republicans
voted solid for the regular State ticket.
In twenty-one polls in New Orleans, the
msi0rity for the Constitution is six hun
bred and thirty-two, which renders il
probable that the Republicans have car

wholesale Market.

The general markets for the week have
been only moderately active. The
heavy rains early in the week retarded
operations to some extent. Prices are,
on the whole, weaker than st the
close OF our last review, but the changes
are not important. Meats, it will be
seen. are some lower and are decidedly
weaker.
The Dry Goods market for the week
has been more active, and prices are still
firm. The large stocks on hand prevent
an advance in sympathy with the
Eastern market but the tendency is up
ward, and our merchants are not dis
posed to make concessions in order to
shove off stocks. Staple goods of all
kinds sell readily. The rapid decline in
the stock of raw material, as well as the
prices at which it now rules, would in
dictate hat cotton goods st least will
keep up during the season.
In boots and shoes for the week BUSH
ness he's been active at full prices.
Stocks have been replenished at an ad-
vance in prices of from 5 to : per cent.
on fine wear. Our trade in this line
being confined to a cash basis enables ouT
dealers to sell at a very small margin on
prime cost, so that though we have q
firm market to report, we make nc
change in quotations.
The grocery market is well supplied,
and prices are steady, with q fair job
bling trade doing.
The stock market is only moderately
active. The supply Of beef cattle il
equal to the demand. Sheep are also
fully equal to the demand, while hog'
are in excess with no demand, exeepI
from butchers.
There is q very noticeable falling off il
attendance at cur horse and mule auc'
tions, and prices are not as satisfactory
to traders as they were a few weeks
ago.

YNHESE instruments, after the most dattertng
L testimonials from the q st Pianists in the
country, who, at our solicitation, have tested
them m the Severest manner possible, have been
pronounced THE FINEST SQUAhE PIANO
FORTE MADE IN THE WORLD.
It has always been our policy, during the
thiTty-Si1 year. that We have featured
Pianos, ttOelUe thousand OF which are nov in use
in the United states and EUROPE, TO give the
finest instrument at the lowest cost. Our supe-
rior facilities enable as to oder them from one
TO three hundred dollars less than any other
First Class House.
The tone Of these instruments are remalka-
bic for their peculiar Sweetness and Great Bril-
lisncy, never losing their quauty when forced
to their utmost capacity. The register
retaining its positiveness, does not destroy the
middle and upper registers by mingltns with
them in utsagreeable confusion, the renned
beauty of tone being equally delightful 10 the
Impractical and 20 the most cultivated ear.
They are an entirely new style Of Piano, I'm
ished in the most superb manner, Nth four fd
round corners front and back, heavily carved
legs and Tyre SerpenLine Base richly moulded.
and each instrument Is fully warranted for Ave

Strew your floral offerings fair;
These silent dead were brothers,
For you, they're sleeping there.
