A WASHINGTON dispatch states that Georgia
Republicans now in that city, express the ut
most confidence in the future of the party in
that State, which will be in excellent condition
for the campaign next year. Acting Gov. Con-
ley will contest in the courts, the legality of the
election of Gov. Smith, Tuesday, but with little
prospect of success, one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court being Conservative, the other
without great weight either way, and the chief
Justiceship being vacant. Conley may fill the
vacancy with one of his own friends, but it is
hardly thought he will resort to the expedient.

Cold WEATHER.-Yesterda was the coldest
day of the season by at least 100. The mer-

scroll and feather work, such as no human ar

AND OUTRAGE REPORTED.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 21.-The last person
who left Lake village, the scene of the outrage
in Chicot county, Ark, reports that he was or
dered by armed negroes on the bank to return.
He refused and succeeded in escaping. There
was great excitement, and from the screams of
white women and children seen rushing down
the levee, it was supposed that an attempt was
made to ravish the few white women unable to
leave. Capt. Walker, Republican sheriff of
the county, made application for regular troops
to quell the disturbance. 1t has been feared
that if the militia were sent there, they being
eolored, would fraternize with the insurgents
Every white citizen who could obtain convey
ance left the county, which was marauded by
armed bands of colored men, the majority of
whom were intimidated by rioters, who said
they would not disband until allowed to settle
all disputes they may have had with those for
whom they have worked. The Governor of
Arkansas sent his Adjutant to the scene, but
meantime leading Republican and Conservative
citizens united in a petition for regular troops.
