The New Election Law.

Speaking of the new election law
and its workings the News Dispatch
says:
1t is pleasant to learn from the
Alfalfa and Gadsden newspapers
that the municipal elections held in
these cities last week were in accor-
dance with the provisions of the new
law, and it gave general satisfaction
to all parties, and worked admirably.
Every fair minded citizen will be
grati6ed exceedingly if the law tends
to suppress election frauds. 1t ID
consoling to know that the law is
giving satisfaction all. round the
political circle. A Bourbon paper
says that it will disfranchise 80 600
illiterate Negroes, and the Alliance
Herald proclaims that it will disfran.
chise 10000 Kolbltes, and about
10000 members Of the organized de-
mocracy,
