displeased at the actual result of the cleo

A DAsFARDLY MURDER.

A Esn Shot, Bead in a Hotel.
From the Chattanooga Times, Sept. %,
we take the following:
While the passengers on the Northward
bound train from Atlanta, were taking sup
per at the Kennesaw House in Marietta,
night before last, man named A. T. John
son walked into the dining room and ac-
costed Mr.. W. E. Odds. the steward of the
house, saying with an oath, 81 would not
give rs cents for your lfe."
Immediately he drew a revolver and shot
Mr.. Odds through the heart. Then level
ing his revolver upon the startled crowd in
the dining room, he made his escape, with
cut any attempt to arrest him.
The only cause which has been assigned
for this cold blooded murder is that john
son, who is notorious desperate, was at
the Kennesaw House in an intoxicated con-
diOiOn on the previous night and had made
himself so disagreeable that he had TO be
elected from the hOuS8.

A 0uiet EIectson.

There was yesterday very little disorder
at either of the voting places in the city,
and no actual disturbance of the public
peace at any Of the precincts. The fact
may be attributed in some measure to the
peaceable inclinations of our citizens gen.
orally, together with the circumstance that
intoxicating fluids could not be very readily
obtained, at least in excessive quantities.

From the result .as.given below, it will be

majority of rs. The Democrats had
two candidates in the field, and
thus by divided vote were defeated. This
