Hon. ELIJAH PECK, Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court of Alabama, spent day
in our city two weeks since transacting q
matter of private business, and during his
stay talked freely with those Of our citi-
gems with whom he came in contact, con.
corning tho political situation in his State.
From his position Judge Peck 10 likely
to be well informed Is to matters in Ala.
bams, and he gives II - his unhesita-
ting. opinion that the peace, tranquil.
ity and prosperity, the avoidance Of
misrule and disorder in his State depend
upon the election of Grant and Wilson.
He thinks that with q fair election Ala.
bama will give a Republican majority Of
$4,000, but says that the late rebel ele-
ment. who are largely owners of the soil.
will bring to bear upon the colorsd voters
every intimidation short Of actual per-
sonal violence to induce them to vote for
Greeloye
Judge Peck speaks positively Of the
necessity in Alabama Of the Ku Klux
legislation Of Congress, and bears willing

pandemonium He made the startling
statement that he was personally cogni-
zant Of over five hundred murders com
mitted in Alsbama before the enforce
meet of the Ku Klux act, not one OF
the perpetrators Of which could be
brought to justice by the State authorities,
and are yet 1t large. This state Of
things was effectually stopped by the
Ku.Klux law of which our Greeley friends
complain SO much.
Judge Peck has been resident OF Ala
bams Al years, and NO balderdash about
carpet baggers can be interpssed to break
the force of his statements. He was
loyal during the war and is can

The Georgia Election.

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 5.-Official reports of
ninety-nine counties show a majority for Smith
(democratic) of 40,013. Thus far 1919 democrats
and six republicans are reported elected as rep
reSentativeS.
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 4.-The sixty-threee coun-
ties heard from give Smith majority of over
10000. Less than half the Negro vote was cast.
This is admitted even by the Atlanta Sun, one
OF the principal democratic organs. In many
places the negroes were driven away from the
polls, although they had paid their poll taxes,
and held receipts for the same. In Troup cOun-
ty, the day before the election the tax collectors
b0ndsman surrendered his bond, thus leaving
no one in the county authorized to receipt for
the payment of poll taxes. This device kept
700 or 500 negroes from voting.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Oct. 4.-Reliable news of
election comes in slowly, but enough is known
to show that the democrats everywhere resorted
to fraud and violence TO accomplish their pur-
poses. The clerk of the superior court of
Thomas county, now in this city, reports that on
the night of the election his brother, Tepubli-
can, and one of the managers of election fol
that county, was dragged from his bed by a
band OF twelve or more disguised men, and
brutally beaten until supposed to be dead His
body was then laid across the railroad
track in the hope of conCealing the crime. He
recovered sufficiently to crawl off a few mo-
ments before train passed, and was found in
| the morning nearly dead There is great ex
citement in the country, aud the colored men
| are watching every train that passes to proven
the escape of the kukluX, who are known. War
rants were issued to-day by Commissioner Stont
Of this city for their arrest.
In Dougberty county more than thousand
| republican votes were pOlled, and but three
hundred returned by the democratic managers
In Liberty county the vote Of two strong repub
ican precincts was thrown out upon trivia
preteXt by the democratic managers, thus secur
ing the election of democratic senator for four
years, and democratic representative for two
years, and DISTINGUISHING six hundred republican
voters.
