A HARD FIGHT ON LIVINGSTON.
The Republicans Doing Their Best to
elect EeiQht.


elect Height.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 2l.-It has leaked
out toat the republicans, taking advantage
OF the apathy of the democrats here, who
are making small haste TO put themselves in
position to vote for the unpopular Living
ston, contemplate furnishing the state with
political surprise on election day. AT
least they are working d " aud night to
secure Haight's election and have succeeded
In registering about 800 negroes. This
has been very quietly done, but they are
said TO count on polling from $500 TO 5000
republican votes in the city, where the
voting population is not a great deal over
twice as great.
DEMOCRATIC DISAFFECTION.
The probability of Haight obtaining con-
siderable assistance from the democrats is
~ no means chimeTical in the present con-
dltion of thing. and it is barely possible
that the republicans may by hard work
and outside help manage to land him near
enough to the congressional chair to furnish
a pretext for a contest. the issue OF which
would be doubtful if decided by a republ-
can House. Such is thought to
be the hope cherished by the
party in this district and the notorious
objection to Col. Livingston here, in Doug
las county ard elsewhere. and the surprising
activity of the negroes in registering lends
some color to the rumor.
TIE FEELING AT CoNYERs.
From Conyers comes the statement that
the alliance there, taking IL for granted that
Col Livingston will abandon the congress
sional for the senatorial race, has fixed
things, as it has been frequently rum red
ohey would fix them for either Col. Peek or
Col Womack to go to congress. which OF
the two has not yet been decided. as the
directors are divided between them.
