ATHENS, ALA, Nov. 3.-As the whites
are largely in the majority here in North
Alabama, the contest between tine Demo
Gratis aud Republicans has been hotter here
than in any other section Of the State.
Tine Radicals played a desperate game, re-
sorting openly and boldly to the most out
rageous devices to carry the election.
Athens has been crowded with negroes
during the whole day, and it was remarked
that more negroes were here than reside in
the county, while some were known to
have come from across the river in other
counties, lying south of this. That they
were imported for the purpose of having
them vote in Limestone is generally be-
lieved.
A difficulty occurred here between
white citizen named Luke Mitchell and
negro, which threatened to precipitate
riot. Mitchell was trying to persuade
negro to vote the Democratic ticlze,, when
the negro above referred to interfered. pro
voking a quarrel and knocking Mitchell
down. There were at least fifteen hun
dred negroes on the ground and
large number Of whites, and considerable
excitement enSued, but Gen. Houston, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, who
lives here, Col. Luke Pryor and other prom
inent citizens interpOsed in the interest Of
peace and succeeded in preventing the
threatened conflict.
Decatur, it seems, was made the head
quarters Of toe Radicals for the operations
Of the day. Gov. Lewis, the Radical nomi-
nee for Governor; c. G. Sheets, Radical
nominee for Congress for the State at large,
were all there, and distributed among
the negroes 300 lbs of government bacon,
which had been sent for the benefit of the
sufferers by the overflow in Central Ala
bama river last spring. Negro votes sold
for about 20 lbs of hog meat.
The Republican ticket was headed by a

An EstImabIe Nan GONG.

The death of Rev. Chas. NJ. Baldwin will
be deplored by large circle of friends of
his own making, and a still wider circle of
his late father, Rev. S. ID. Baldwin. The
son gave high promise Of emulating the dis
tinction of his eloquent and distinguished
father. About year ago he completed his
studies and entered upon the ministry, to
which be applied himself with all the de-
vOtion Of an ardent nature. His labors
were undivided and unceasing, and, as the
result proved, at the expense of his life.
He died in the beginning Of a career which
gave promise Of great usefulness and emf
nence. We can only offer our sympathies
20 the afflicted family and friends.

Our COus We Tow u rdn the Cuban
Patriots.


To Us the indifference with which our
Government has witnessed the long. and
noble struggle Of the Cuban patriots for
independence, seems utterly heartless, and
selfish. and unpatriotic. Their grievances Of
which they complain, and which they rose In
arms to resist, are rs intolerabld, and cruel
as those which drew the American colonies
into rebellion. They have carried on the
contest almost as long, and fought as brave
ly to rid themselves Of the CALLING yoke Of
Spain, as we did to achieve our freedom.
For more than FIVE years they have been
able to resist all the power Of Spain, and u
maintain an independent Government. The
question involved in the struggle il not only
the liberty Of the Cuban patriots, but the
freedom of nearly half million Of slaves.
Yet we have watched the contest as cooily
and indiaerently as VIC should quarrel
between the factions which arc constantly
engaged in revolutionary movement in the
south, and Central American ''Republics.' -
If We have shown any sympathy, it has been
with the Spauiards. ....-
