A RIOT AT EUrAuLA.

EuFAuLA, Ala, Nov. "a riot
occurred at the polls to-day, The
disturbance was quite sanguinary.
Six whites were wounded; one of
them, VIM. Keith, MORALLY. Three
negroes were killed outright, and,
as far as heard from, seventy -four,
were wounded, ten or fifteen Of the
number mortally. Since the fight
FIVE have died, apd three or four
more viii die during the night.
The difficulty grew out of the
abuse Of negro who had voted the
Democratic ticket by several Rad
ical negroes, chief among whom was
one very bad negro, named Miles
Long. Several white men walked
up when they saw the abuse being
heaped on the Democratic negro ;
and when he had received several
blows they rushed in and ordered
the mob 10 desist. Miles Long Of
fered to draw a pistol upon one Of
the whites, when he was told not to
draw a weapon or be would be kill
ed. With an oath against the
whites, and daring them to come on,
he drew out bis pistol and fred.
In an instant general fire from
both whites and blacks commenced,
which the latter stood for second
or two and then gave way in one of
the widest stampedes ever witnessed
on our streets. There were proba-
bly, 500 shots fired by both sides
majority of them being fred by the
whites. The negroes came in from
the country armed with pistols, hea-
Wy clubs, wheel spokes, and were
very aggressive upon those of their
color who voted the Democratic
ticket. For few seconds after the
firing ceased the negroes began to
mass for renewal Of the fight, but,
seeing that the whites were arming
to receive them, they again scat
tered, and quiet was soon restored.

"DEv1L1sH DEMOCRACY"

GERRrT SMITH, the noted old Abo-
lition leader, says the Columbus En-
quirer, has published letter in
which he declares his willingness to
give Grant third term if necessary
to defeat the "devilish Democracy"
He says that Washington himself
would not have declined a third
term if the "devil-inspired Demo-
cratic party had existed ID his day,
and he denies General Grants moral
right to say now that he will not be
a candidate in 1876. This goes to
sustain the correctness of the opin-
ion which we advanced the other
day-that Democratic triumphs will
be urged by the Grant party as the
strongest arguments in favor of his
nomination.
1t is natural that old Gerrit, at his
time of life, should be getting afraid
of the devil as well as the Demoe-
racy, and we ought, therefore, to
excuse his rather questionable asso-
citation of the two powers.

GEN. GORDON.

In recent speech at Rome, U.
States Senator, Gen. j. b. Gordon
said
"This Union was based upon a
compact which the North had ignor-
ed. They call you rebels. Don't
repelit. You are rebels descended
from Washington"
The battle-scarred veteran speaks
like man and knows full well the
sentiment North. There is not a
compact or promise made by the
Radical party but what has been
shamelessly broken. "Rebels" they
may be, though if successful they
would have been patriots. Howev>
er, right is right, triumphant or van
quished.

GLORIOUS RESULT.

The glorious food of news, which
chronicles the defeat Of Radicalism
throughout the States, bursts upon
our hearts like a sheen of bright
sunlight, from dark clouds, filling US
with rejoicing, and which will be
encouraging to every true democrat
and lover Of liberty. There is
something good, yet wondrously
strange, when Massachusetts, the
hot-bed Of radicaIism and all other
pernicious ''isms," repudiates the
radical party. The gallant Louis
lana, whose soil is still freshly dyed
with patriots blood, throws off the
tyrant's chains, and achieves by the
ballot a conservative victory. Ne>
gro cursed. down-trodden South Ca
rolina, marches proudly with vic
torious banner. Thus We have good
cheer. We may yet have a demo-
cratic President and we certainly
will have a democratic Congress-
Stick to your colors, oh ye sons Of
the sunny South and the oppressive
heel Of a radical despotism, will yet
be lifted from your necks through
the strength of a united and power
full Democracy. 1t has been said
the democratic party was dead, il
so, she is lively "old corpse"

The elections on the Ord in the
several States return Democratic
victories in every State except
one. The reaction is wonderful.
Massachusetts,, the very nest and
stronghold of Radicalism, elects a
Democratic Governor and four DEM

eleven. And best of all Beast But

Illinois reports two Democratic

Congressman to eleven Radicals and
twenty-five Democrats.
New Jersey increases her install

Texas and Kentucky send their

Maryland with two Radical and
