:MoSraoMERY, May 5.-The election of
Moses, Democrat, for Mayor, was 484 ma
iority; Smith, Demoorat, for City Clerk,
548 majority. The Democrats carry
every ward, electing every Alderman.
Among the Aldermen elect are Hon.
Geo. w: Stone, late Justice of the su-
preme Court, and Maj. Thos. G. Jones,
dead attracted 30 much notice ut the
North last year, Nearly half the colored
people voted the Democratic ticket
straight for tho first time since recon
struction. The city was illuminated
last night, and cannon firing, bands
plnying and general jubilation almost
the whole night. Men heretofore lead
ing white Republicans were serenaded
by bands and many speeches made.
In the United States District and Cir
cult Courts, Judge Bruch presiding, all
cases under the Enforcement Acts were
continued, to await the decision of the
Supreme Court in Louisiana cases. The
grand jury Of the courts, which was
empanneled yesterday, consists of
twenty Republicans and three Demo
crats. Weather cool and crops backward.
j. q. Perrin, late Republican member
OF the Legislature for Wilcox County,
testified as follows before the committee
now investigating the means by which
spencer secured his election to the
United States Senate: Troops were re-
tained in Alabama before the election on
the requisition of myself and othors, it
having been understood that Spencer
had arranged for troops to be put at the
disposal of the Mayor and other revenue
officers whenever intimidation was ne
cessary. These troops were accompanied
by United States Marshals, who had ficti-
tious warrants, with citizens names pro-
minently displayed and shown to per
sons who would inform upon them, were
parnded in several Counties. I shot a
hole In my hat, and reported that had
been attacked by Ku Klux, and sent
troops to arrest the mythical Assailants.
Kept the troops as long as could use
them as political machine. Our pur-
pose was to secure tho Legislature at all
hazards, and elect Spencer. A number
OF witnesses testify to the use of money
to effect the same purpose.
