The New York Sun has specials from various
parts of the South relative TO the effect of the
Democratic victory upon the negroes. The
dispatches are summarized as follows:
Atlanta-The rumors sent out by unscrupu.
lous correspondents concerning race troubles
IN the South are absolutely false. Following
tho announcement OF Oleveland's election
there was feeling on the part OF the colored
people that It might forobode disaster. How.

leading newspapers and by such mon as Sena-
| tors Brown, Colquilt, Hampton, Butler, Nor
gan and Pueh, who, in public aud private, as.
| sured tho colored people that their rights
| would be preserved. The report OF riot al
| Dublin, Ga, and that negroes have refused as
| sistance at fires In various places are also
| false.
Rlchmond-s the election the negroes In
Virginia have been alarmed owing u an I'm.
preston that they would be re.enslaved.
These fears are abatlng, but only few days
ago an old darby living near here killed his
COW, and when asked the reason said he knew
his old master could claim him, but ID II he
negroes paraded IN the procession here In
honor OF Cleveland's election. Fears were on
tertained that they would DO molested by
members Of their race, but they were un-
harmed.
Chattanooga-Since the election OF Cleve-
land there has been some uneasiness among
the colored people leet they should be sold
back into slavery. The alarm is confined to
the most ignorant among them. The edu'
Gated negroes DO all they can 10 remove the I'M
| preston. No fear is entertained OF trouble In
this section.
Nashville-After Cleveland's election ru-
| mors that his victory signinod return &c
negro slavery were circulated through Ten
nossee and aroused the gravest fears. The
erroneous idea was promptly met by emphatic
| denials from both Republican and Democratic
leaders that the negroes had anything to fear
| and colored preachers also reassurod theii
| ilocks. The result is that the apprehensions
| of the blacks are rapidly disappearing.
| New Orleans-There has been but little ex
| element among the negroes In this State ovei
| the election OF Cleveland. In New Orleans thu
| negroes are too intelligent TO be deceived int
| belief that their political rights can be an
| nulled. There was slight scare in some o
| the parishes, but the planters and negro min
| listers explained TO the negroes that slavery
| was out OF the question, and the feeling OF un
easiness has departed. The leading Demo
cratic papers assure the negroes that II they
| do their duty rs citizens and work intelli
gently and industriously, they Will advanc,
materially and politically, and their votes vii
| be appealed 10 by both parties.
