AFFAIRS IN CHARLESTON - The Courier
says:
THE ELEcrIoS The proclamation
which is to announce tho election is in
course Of preparation by the City Attor-
ney, and will bo mado public to morrow
morning. The Mayor elect will not take
his sent until the term of the l,ressnt in
cumbcnt shall have legally expired,
which will be in November next. The
present regime will retire gracefully and
will not lodge protest. There was
rumor afiont yesterday that discovery
hMd been made in the law whereby the
Mayor elect could take his seat ten days
after installation, but it amounts to no.
thing. Things will take their regular
course, and the new officials will assnm me
the reins Of local government as stated.
We can well afford. in view of the glori-
ous triumph We have accom plished, to
blde our time:
FEELING TIE TnIUMru.-It is very ma
nlfest that the election has had its eff
fects on the finances Of the people as
we'll us their hearts and affections. City
stocks were dull and depressed aud have
improved considerably, and fairly
touched 81 yesterday. Real estate lis
looking up, andiis in better demand,
while holders are stiff For instance. u
piece OF property which broker had
offered q few days before the result Of
the election WIS known at $4,000, could
not be purchased yesterday at a thou
sand advance by the very party who
would not take it at the first named
price. The change which has come over
the people is certainly very encouraging
and inspiriting. II we will only look
carefully to the future, it will be crowned
with abundant success for US oil.
NEdRo RowDIEs. Tho colored Repub-
licans seem determined to avenge the
defeat their party have suffered by u.s.
saulting the Germans. The deeds of
rowdyism. thieving and persecution they
carried on Saturday night last we're ter
rible. They formed in squads OF fifty
to seventy-ive. paraded the streets, in
ficting as much injury on the German
store-keepers, MS they came across in
their line OF march, rs they could.
They walked into the different stores
they met with, drank what they wanted,
and purchased goods, and, as soon as
they got them in their possession, ran
off with them. The wives OF the Ger
mans so persecuted were terribly alarmed,
| some of whom were at homo alone.
They, INDUCED in insulting language,
brandished sticks, fred pistols, ana de-
clared war ragainst tile Germans generally.
At the corner of King aud Tradd streets,
they appeared fifty in number, made u
rush for Loggermann's grocery TO get
hold of two colored men therei1,Iwhom
they intended to kill for voting the Con-
servative ticket. They were so violent
that a message had to be despatched to
the Guard House for force Of police
Aou w uInpoIhd tuon. 1u9 COlOteO men
inside OF the store, whom they were
waiting to kill. had to be relieved Of
their periIous situation by the police
men. who escorted them to piace Of
safety.
We simply wish to ask our citizens
how long they intend to stand saoh con-
duct on the part Of the negroes? It
seems that the authorities do nothing to
stop these ontrages committed against a
class in the community proverbiul for
their peaceful and thrifty habits. Far
be it from us TO give wrong counsel, but
we do say such aots of atrooity should
not be tolerated. They are disgrace
not only to MS as people. but to civil
ization.
