RALEIGH, \. c., August l.-Dispatch-
es from all parts OF the State show that
the election has been quiet one, though
the vote everywhere was very large on
both sides. No returns have yet come
to hand.
The returns from eleven towns and
precincts give the Conservative ticket a
gain of about $50. Raleigh townships
give the Conservative ticket a gain of
2ll. Wake Forest gives Merriman 100
majority. There is nothing as yet de-
cisive, though the chances are in favor
of Merriman.

ing the case stated that this was the first
case of the kind that had come before
the United States in Georgia. He re-
gretted that the parties violating the
law were Of his own party Republican +,
but he would nevertheless prosecute
vigorously. The decision in the
case is reserved until tomorrow.
Mr. Farrow was emphatic in his
remarks, regretting that the first viola
ton Of the right Of the people to peace
fully assemble, and Of the freedom of
speech, had been violated by Republi-
cans, who had broken up a Republican
meeting by intimidation and violence.
But whether the parties were white or
black, Republicans or Democrats, he
would exert the fun power of the law to
bring them to punishment.

THERE was not single untOward
event to mar the quietude of yesterday,
elections. The shooting affair in the
northwestern portion of the county was
occasioned by no question of partisan
ship or Of race features. The people are
to be congratulated, since Grants myr-
midons can find no pretext, in incidents
Of yesterday, for the invocation of mill
tary law or for the overthrow Of republi-
can liberty in November, in order that
the reign of despotism may be perpetu-
ated by Greeley's defeat.

| Special 10 ihe Appeal
JACKSON, Miss, August IA second
edition Of the riotous proceedings of the
seventeenth ultimo, was enacted here to
day, only with greater violence. The
Radical District Convention met. but
long ere they met indications of a vio-
lent storm were visible. The delegates
were well in hand of the different can
didates to whom they were pledged.
As they entered the hall, the confusion
began to life its towry head, and as the
crowd increased the head was lifted
higher. An attempt was made at an
organization. Various members assumed
the chair, and before each could express
his intention he was compelled TO flee
the wrath TO come. 1t was
PERFECT BABEL
the entire day. A number of fights oc-
CURED, pistols were drawn, spittoons
were flying about the hall as freely as
swallows on summer evening. The
galleries were full, and the occupants
took an active part in all the proceed
ings, invariably voting when a question
was put. There were but thirty-eight
members, and over forty votes were
polled on every ballot. If delegate
was elected to position, he was com
PEELED to relinquish it before he got fair
ly to work. Calls were made without
cessation upon prominent Republicans
to speak.
AwAG
in the gallery called for Hon. Thomas
Wharton, distinguished citizen and an
able orator, who supports Greeley. The
cry was taken up and continued vocifer-
ously until General Wharton took the
stand. Order was had as if by magic,
aud the crowd listened with marked
respect to his counsel asking them to at
least preserve the appearance of civil
lied beings. He made no reference to
politics, but no sooner had he retired
than
CONFUSION WORSE COMPOUNDED
was the order. The convention ad-
iourned without accomplishing its pur-
pose. One party claims it adjourned
sine die, another till tomorrow, while
a third party are now holding what they
claim to be the bona Jiclc convention in
a privaterOOm. Lynch and Mckee are
The prominent men in the race. Lynch
made a speech last night to large
audience and charged that money was
being used to carry the nomination.

GENERA y. p. BANKS, the famous
ex-Speaker Of the Congress of tn,
United States, concurs with Senator
Sumner in preferring Greeley to Grant
In another place General Banks's letter
appears, Announcing his adhesion to the
editorial candidate for the Presidency.
Greeley, sumner, Banks, Trumbull,
Schurz, Fenton, Cassius NJ. Clay and
Gratz Brown certainly constitute the
brains of the original Republican
party. They gave it origin, and i'm
bued il with all the wisdom and
statesmanship that has distinguished
its history, and yet here in Ten
nessee and throughout the South the
dirty placemen seEt forth by Grant WELD
at will, as supposed representatives of
true Republicanism, the whole force Of
negro power in politics. Do not intelli-
gent negroes see how they are dupede
Are they betrayed by Greeley and Sum
ner and Banks? Is itpossible that these
men, now leading the omnipotent move
ment against Grant, are fools or
knaves? Are they victims of insane
folly, or conscious that in eject
ing Grant from office they are rem
dering the greatest possible service
both to the negro and to the whole
country? Mr.. Greeley and Republican
statesmen supporting him have shown,
by lifetime of devotion and self-sacri-
flee, that their betrayal Of tine negro's
true Interest is utterly impossible. In
all the records Of legislation, and in the
whole history Of slavery and anti-slav-
cry in America, these philosophers, phi
lanthropists, orators and earnest think
ers have stood peerless, and yet the ne
gro prOclaims his stupidity before the
world by following the creature, the ac-
cident Of the war, as if it were the cI-ys-
talizatiOn Of its thought, and purpose,
and philosophy. Even Massachusetts,
partizan Massachusetts, may forget the
DEGREES Of party, as Banks and Sumner
have done, and vote for Greeley and
Brown.
