There was 90 opposition except for the places
of Collector and Constable. 10 the latter case
Mr. McDonough, who formerly filled that Office
satisfactorily, declined to serve again, the emou-
ments being little or nothing, aud not suspect
ing what has occurred, the whites failed to
place one of their number on the ticket for
that Office. Seeing which, certain colored
school master of this neighborhood who bosses
the colored votes, succeeded, secretly, in plac-
ing the name of Nelson Elliott on sufficient
plumber of ballots to elect that party to Office.
Not whisper of such a thing reached our cars
until the ballot boxes were opened at sunset
Another lesson for the white man. Ut course
this thing will amount to nothing except as a
lesson, as Nelson Elliott is totally unfit for any
Office 10 the gift of his people:
