The cry of fraud by the defeated party
in elections is stale ono, and il comes
with i'll grace from the democratic party
which has always resortsd 10 ballot-box
stutfing. repeating, intimidation, buying
OF voters, rowdyiug aud all kinds of
violence TO carry elections. Talk OF
buying up the lresmen of Maine, rs
Horace Greeley does. when The Georgia
election was carried by the Greeleyites
by such ioul means. Col. j. T.. Bryant,
formerly of Buckfield, in our County,
resident at Savannah was seriously as
saulted at the polls by plug uclies who
were acting as officers. The Greeley
party had full control of all the poll,.
The managers we've all Democrats. aud
disrsgardsd the provisions of law, and
would not allow Republicans entitled by
law 10 cast their votes. After attempting
to yo.e for several hours they abandoned
the polls and went home. Over two
thousand Republican voters were depriy.
ed of their right t"votc. The good bs
harior OF the colored men only prevented
serious trouble. The very worst class of
the white Democratic element were sworn
in as special deputy sherif,s Great out
RACES upon the rights of citizens have
been perpetra,ed. The polls wcr. sur
rounded 10y large body of police armed
with muskets A sabre club pa;rolled
the streets, mounted. The roads leading
to the city were picketed,and voters from
the country were driven back and not al
lowed to come Into tbs city to vote. Only
lour voting places were provided for
eight thousand voters in the country, aud
these all in one building.
The election there was perfect farce,
and il la, lis lesson which is that the as.
cendancy OF the Democratic party in any
Southern Stale is sure to be followed by
legislation practically anuulin. the Con.
amendments and reducing the
colored population to condition hardly
preferable TO slayery-that tho election of
Alr Greeley, who is more heartily sup.
ported by the ku kluX Democracy than
by any other portion. would insure thGir
ascendancy in the general government
and render ii perfectly sale Tor them TO
perpetrate outrage aud violence against
these dsieuceless colored people. Shall
so momentous u warning pass unhesded

whistlina to Keep up Couraae.

The OrfoyG Register, commenting upon
the disastrou. election news Of laIt week,
say: "Ths friends OF Greeley should
keep up good courage, remembering that
in the November election the I'M
sCrupalous power OF the Administration
mus, be distributed over The whole
country. instead of being concentrated,
as his been the case in all the elections
that have been held this Autumn"
That's what's the matter The power
Of The administration will he distributed
over The whole country in the same way.
Ii The R.g!stc'' belongs 10 the class that
dou't know when they are thoroughly
,ehipped. they will find their readers
bitter Judges, who accept the situation,
and inevitable logic of events. The
great State of New York is now sure for
Grant, as is New Jersey, quite likely and
Greeley may count on Georgia-what
else?
