PETERSBURG, May 90, 1870.

PETERSBURG, May 90, 1870.
AS election day approaches the chances
of Radical success dwindle, and their
trickcry becomes more apparent, One OF
their latest schemes Is to nominate upon
their Council ticket in the wards where the
whites have majorities two of their own
number and two Conservatives, hoping
thus to hoodwink the voters and run i'll
some of their men; but this trick is too
transparent to succeed, and many gentle
men to whom they have applied have re-
fused to entertain their propositions.
Some trouble is apprehended in the So
cond Ward on the day of election with the
negroes, who since the last change in the
lines have been thrown into wards one and
SIX. There are more than two hundred OF
these, and though the registrar for that
Ward has now sat for two days, and advcr-
tised for them to come and get their certi-
ticates of transfer, not Il single one has ap-
piled, and they declare their intention of
voting in the Second Ward where they are
registered, or prevent every white man
from doing so. OF course this is 4 con-
certed thing, and they have been put up to
it by the moan whites. DIXON.
