ately counted out by men occupying re-
sponsible positions in the world, who
think it no ofense to steal the vote of a
negro or q Republican. The election in
this county, which in former years regis
tered from 10000 to 40, 600, is a fair sam
pie Of their conduct Of the elections else
where. At McGhee's, in this county, the
Republicans polIed about GOO votes. and
the Democrats SO. While the votes were
being counted the candle was turned over
and put out, and the room left in darkness
for several minutes. When the colored
Republican inspector put out his hand to
preserve the ballot-box, he found that it
was gone. Considerable confusion ensued,
and on the candle being re-lighted it was
observed that the box had been filled up
with new tickets, and that the old ballots
were all over the floor. The colored man

and was driven from the room with curses,
and was not permitted again to enter and
observe. The votes have been returned as
giving 450 Democratic majority. During
the count at this precinct, a military CON-
pany and a large party of armed citizens,
under command Of a Deputy Sheriff, ap-
peared at the polling place to protect the
inspectors, although no tronble or threats
Of trouble had occurred at the polls. They
were determined to force through their me-
fsrious scheme at all hazards, even to hav-
ing Democratic bsyonets at the polls. The
aforementioned Republican colored in
spector has made ar affidavit as to
these facts. At Kendalls beat, where the
proportion Of Republican and Democratic
votes we're the same as at McGee's, the
Inspectors deliberately changed the votes
in the presence of the ignorant, timid old
colored man acting as Inspector, who
finally detected another Inspector with
large rolls OF bogus tickets. They then
tried to bulldose him into signing the
returns, but he would not do 30. / might
relate similar experiences at each polling
place in the county, because the history Of
one is the history of all, but it would not
add anything to the force of the state
ment. There were five thousand Republic

counted for Democratic nominees, and to
render the injury irreparable, the Legisla-
ture at the last session provided that tick

The Alabama Election.
NEW lYoRE, August 4.-Mr. Lamar, Sec
rotary Of the Democratic State Committee,
telegraphs the World from Montgomery
that the sweeping Democratic majority in
the State Of over 60. 900 votes, is due to
there being no Republican nominations
made for county officers. There was SIM
ply a race between the Democratic candi-
dates, the friends Of whom all supported
the State ticket in three-fourths Of the
counties in the State. All tales Of intimi-
dation and fraud are false and absurd.
Not even q hsticuff fight is reported. and
the election was the most quiet and fairest
ever held in the State.
The Condition Of Tanner-He fs I'm
Good spirits. and Will Accom-.
plish the Feat.
NEW YORK, August 4.-Dr. Tanner read
his mail At 4 o'clock. and over some Of the
queer letters received had q laugh. He
then dozed until 8 o'clock. when he vom-
tied g small quantity Of matter. Soon
after he got up and went to get shaved,
his fonr watchers following him to the
barber shop. After an hours absence the
party returned to the hall. and the Doctor
said he felt frst-rate. He looked much
stronger than previously. At TAO this
evening the Doctor had another attack Of
nausea, and vomited a small quantity of
frothy liquid, devoid Of bile. He passed
the time between this and 9 o'clock receiv-
ing visitors, all Of whom he asked to re-
tire as soon as they got q good look at him.
He complained Of the annoyance Of being
stared at. Between 8 and 9 o'clock he
drank an ounce Of spring water. and en-
tered into a discussion as to the genuine
ness Of DR.. Sims cable from Paris.
which DR.. Hammond considers bogus. At
. o'clock he retired for the night. At mid
night ne was apparently in a sound sleep.
He consumed about two-thirds Of q pint
OF water during the "a hours then ended,
and had exactly three and q half days to
fast.
At l o'clock this morning DR.. Tanner
was peacefully sleeping, being we'll wrapped
up in blankets on account of the ehi,liness
OF the atmosphere. owing to to-day's
storm. Four medical gentlemen were
closely watching the sleeping faster. At
9 o'clock this morning the Doctor got ont
OF bed. dressed himself without an effort
and read the morning papers. He then
drank one and a half ounces OF water and
slept for so minutes. On awaking he re-
marked that somebody might have tam
pered with the water, as he felt bad after
drinking 1t. There's no telling what
they would do" said he, "as I under
stand that some heavy bets have been
made" At noon. when he entered upon
the 38th day Of his fast. his condition was
about the same es yesterday, his features
are no more hasgard or pinched, and he
appears in good spirits.
