Io~n E5ection.-Quite a spirited Election
was held for Commissioners of the corpora
ton of Cecilton on Monday last. AS usual
the colorsd ''pusson doomed up TO dis
turh the quiet of the Democratic mind,
and the Democracy were nightly exercised
between the contending emotions of preiu-
dice against the colored men. and fear OF
punishment for violation of the Civil
Rights Bill and Fifteenth Amendment. 1t
was generally understood that Registra-
| ton was prerequisite to entitle a man to
vote at all elections in the State; but it
appears that this opinion was incorrect,
the Registration law as amended in 1868
not applying to corporation Elections
There was difference of opinion among
the faithful Of Cecilton as to their duties
in the premises. and so for fear of conse-
quenccs, the Judges of Election concluded
to allow colored men to vote if they offered
at the same time praying fervently to be
delivered from the great trial which seems
imminent. All was going along smoothly
when a colored man made his appearance
and offered his ticket. The hour of trial
had come and the nerves of the Judges
giving way the ticket was humbly accepted
and dropped i'll the box. What night of
the First District-the very :: chivalry" of
Cecil county Democracy-when that black
man stretched forth his hand toward the
ballot box. 1t was like the meeting of
sSaul saw and fell to earth as falls the oak,
At once, and blasted by the thunder stroke.
So sank the soul of the Democracy Of
Cecilton! To add to the blow second
man of the despised race stepped up and
offered his ballot. 1t was taken of course.
The Clerk was unable for time to over
come his emotions, and merely made a
memorandum of the colered voters on
spare piece Of paper; but having been re-
minded of the Civil Rights Bill and its
pains and penalties, he recovered from the
momeRtary parexysm, and signitied his
intention of putting the names on the list
as soon as he recovered Su1llcleHtlS 10 Ue

preeepts were followed that right hand
would surely suffer for its offending. After
the MOL and toll was over and the votes
counted, the following gentlemen We're
found to be clected:-John c. Crookshank,
Samuel Hall, George n. Davis, George G..
Morgan and William II. Pcarce
No Liquors.-A vote was taken on the
question of granting license to sell spirit
