Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG, November.3 - $50 p. MA
mole quiet and tranquil election was never
| held in this city than that Of to-day. The
negroes TO considerable extent abstained
from voting, not taking any special interest
in the result, and unapprehensiVe of any
opposition to their congressional ticket. The
| Conservatives, however, disclosed about
midday small game Of strategy that had
been carefully arranged by the proper au-
| thorities OF the party several weeks ago, and
| that WAS the circulation of tickets bearing
the name of Judge William II. Mann, OF
Nottoway, as the Conservative candidate for
| Congress. A few scattered votes were de-
posted before noon to avert suspicion but
| do not think the precautions that were
taken were Of much avail, so far, at least, as
keeping together the colored Porter vote was
concerned. Porter appears to have got next
to no vote at all, his own ward (the Second)
polling but one rOte for him--no doubt his
own. The caution and secrecy that charac-
teriZed the proceedings were useful to this
extent: that they threw the negroes and
their leaders effectually off their guard, and
prevented their polling anything like their
usual vote.
The returns are not yet in, but it is be.
lieved that the Conservatives have carried
the city by Il majority of 700 or 800. The
returns from the Second Ward the only one
rcceived) are Us follows: For the amend
ments. 199: against, 256. For William Ii.
Mann for Congress, 240; StoWell, 220; Por-
ter, /. This ward went Radical at the May
election, and has increased its Conservative
vote to-day. | believe that not the most
ultra partisan Of the custom.house faction
prctends that any fraud or intimidation was
exercised in the perfectly fair and quiet elec-
ton just closed in this city.
Some two hundred negroes, who did not
get to the polls of the First Ward before
sunset, have resorted. ! learn, to the usual
panacea of the affidavit" but the game will
not work. They could have voted any time
during the day, just us other men did, and
the law clearly cuts them off after sunset.
No definite returns have yet come to hand
from the neighboripg precincts of Prince
George or Chesterfield. / learn that Prince
George has fallen off Il little from its KEN
per vote, owing to apathy on the part of the
Conservatives.
SO far as has been heard from, Mr.. T. L.
Chambiss, the ''farmers' candidate for
Congress in this district, did not receive a
vote in the city.
| There are many who are confident that
Stowcll has been defeated in the district
Porter is believed 10 have received I.retty
considerable negro vote in the counties. The
plan for secretly circulating the Mann
tickets was admirably arranged and carried
out in every county and precinct by discreet
and active agents, and the white people are
believed to have voted it Solidly.
There has been no drunkenness nor i'll
behavior of any kind in the city to-day.
11:4O p. M-Later and corrected returns
show that the city has gone Radical by 81
majority. The majority against the pro-
posed constitutional amendments is about
the same. Porter did not receive more
than twenty votes in the city. Hundreds
of Conservatives failed to vote, as it was
not known until II O'Clock that Con-
servative candidate for Congress would oe
voted for. In the Third Ward 124 regis
tered white men fuiled to vote. In the
First Ward about 80 whites and 100 negroes
failed to vote on account of the pressure al
the polls. The result has assured the Con
Iservatiyes of their control Of the city in .
full and fair VOTE Ettricks gave Walker
143 majority-the largest majority ever giver
for Conservative candidate.
Bland township, in Prince George, has
gone Radical by a majority Of about $50
Love (R.) is supposed to be elected clerk
lover Gillian. The rest of the county no
jyet heard from. Stowell's election seem.
conceded by Conservatives.
