| BIsGIN CHURCH. ~.
The last Radical statement in regard to the row
at BigeIn Church, attr.butes the difficulty tc
two followers Of DeIarge,. who threatened To
she OF any man who would vote for Bowen, and
who prevented good many from doing So.
Hearing Of this at Strawberry, q crowd went over
| from that place to Biggin Church to remedy the
evil. Upon their arrival, the two leading intsmi.
dators decamped, in very undlgnifed style, along
with the managers, and the mob taking posses.
sion Of the ballotboXes, they have not since been
heard from. We learned from the managers, y yes-
! terday morning, that one VIM. Ristig was at the
head Of this mob, who were all armed. Proper
steps have been taken by the United States mar.
shall to bring these rioters to justice.
STRAWBERRY PERRY.
The box from this precinct came in yesterday
morning, and we learn from the managers that
the report OF disturbance there is incorrect.
The voting went on quietly and orderly-the
Radicals enjoying the situation and having It
pretty much their own way.
rULTz's OLD FIELD.
At this place the majority for Reform was very
decided, but, unfortunately, too small to effect
much There was no hurry In voting, nor the
slightest disorder during the day.
JOHNS ISLAND.
The returns from Gregg's Farm came In BY
small boat to the city, at 4 pm. yesterday. The
book was kept In manner becoming the intell-
gent appointees o. Governor Scott, and the ln-
junction Of the constitution was strictly carried
cut as to there being ne distinction OF color.
Owing to this want OF distinction we were obliged
to estimate the white vote with the aid OF outside
information. From the same source we learn
that, as only three colorei men voted Reform,
the election went or in very quiet manner.
ST. THoMAs.
From New Hope Church the box arrived duly
sealed, and with 1t the cheering news Of 80 out Of
the ss votes poled being for Reform. As at Futz'
the numbers are small, but we should be more
than content II these "straws showed how the
wind blew: In the whole parish the tota' num-
ber OF votes Is about 900. The total number u
vtes poled is about 4ss, OF which, about 40 were
Reform. The elections were quiet and orderly.
NATURALIZATION.
In the late election 300 voters who had been
duly naturallzed before Judge Prngle, In the
City Court, were objected to because they had OF
taken out their papers In the United States Court
This Is the first election at which any objection
OF the kind has been made, and as none was
raised or even limited while the papers were being
prepared and issued BY the City Court, it took all
by surprise, and deprived hundreds Of respecta-
BILE voters OF their legal rights. a word OF eau
ton would have sent them to the other court, but
there wss no one to speak it, aud the votes were
lost to the Reform party. As 1t Is matter OF
some consequence to the 800, we hope steps Will
be taken to test the question whether the City
Court is authorized to issue naturalization pa

TIE ELECTION AT TIE EIaHT.NILB PUMP.

NEAR EIGHT NILE PUMP, Oct. q.
Arms aud the men, slug. Not arms and the
man, as Virgil says, but arms and the men. The
arms were what would be called In poetic-politi-
cal or polite poetlcal parlance, Winchester rides,
but would describe them as muskets which
Noah may have used and not admired. The men
were the descendants Of Noah's second son, and
followers OF Scott.
In compliance with the advice given hy THE
NEWS, your correspondent, on Wednesday last,
remained in the city to vote early, but the early
voting there resulted in late arrival at the clas
sic and romantic spot known as The Pump"
Arriving at the Pump at ten O'Clock A. NJ,
found the polls surrounded by about fifty CT the
colored part!sans Of Scott, about fifteen or
twenty OF whom were armed with guns, and one,
a'particrlarly warke son. OF Ham, with an old
caval, = sabre besides his musket. In charge OF
the poll were black man and O colored m IN, the
latter o carpenter though not o Carpenter man,
and Smith though not D blacksmith, ana on the
table ,cere SCOTT tickets ami no thers.
The few gentlemen who represented the Reform
party, together with one or two friends, had done
and were still doing their duty as well as was
possible under the circumstances out as soon as
the Ieform tickets ,pere eIposed TO rieao they had
been seized oy the mob and destroyed. The tear.
ing up OF the Carpenter and Butler tickets was
done to the tuneful accompaniment OF yelis, con.
temptous reviliugs, aud volleys OF musketry from
the gun committee.
Some tickets remained IN the pockets OF the
white men prescnt, anil Mr.. S. ". Kelley. the en-,
gneer on the phosphate works. whence send
you this, offered one to 3 c>lorel voter, where
upoa the hoo:lngs broke forth arresh, coupled
with threats to take his life should he dare rpeat
the offence short time after tho enactlng OF this
disgrsceful scene, Mr.. Theodore Boag arrived on
the ground, and, under his protection, a colored
Reformer deposited his vote, the gallant gunners
seeming to have An instructive KNOWLEDGE of the
fact that our gooi friend "Tozeyn is not to be
trlned with. Whilst. however, the few white men
present were ready and willing to protect any
ooored man who desired to cast q vote on the
side OF h'ues.y and reform, the negroes were in
tir,!la:cd by the threatening and, to their minds,
