Boenes at the Richmond Elections. XTTSUPt TO MOO A COLOURS!) COSiEUVA* TIVB. About bair-pMt 8 o'c'Ock a coloured 'mac named Llarry Christian voted the Conservative ticket. The negtOea, as has been their custom since the polls were opened, commouced to abuse and threat en tiira. Christian said nothing, and walked off followed by a considerable number of negroes. Lie went to the store of Mr. 3. 8. Carter, on Main between Eighth and. Ninth streets, where his form er master, Mr. R. L Christian, lived.? The crowd followed him here, and five of tfcetu, one of whom was a ring leader in tho riot of last May, attempted to seize hira as he eotored the doo?. lie begged for protection, and Mr. Christian stopped forward and asked the mob what they wanted. They replied that they wanted to arrest Christiati, that they had orders to carry him before General Schofiold.? At this moment a squadron of cavalry came up and arrested the two most dis orderly of tho negroes. The crowd was then dispersed, and the two negroes arrested were taken to the Libby. RKPCBI.ICA.M TACTICS NO. ON K. Before General Schofiold's arrival it was rumoured that negroes were being taken to the Republican Headquarters (over the j Arew Wation oflice) and furnished with names under which to vote. Persons were immediately delegated by the Conserve lives to investigate the matter, and three men were followed from the presence of the arch in cendiary to the polls. Here they were compelled to undergo a close examination, and it was discovered that all three were "sailing under false colours." The matter was reported by the registrar to the officer in command of the troops, and the three negroes were escorted to Libby prison under guard, and now await an examination. liatPfBLIOAM TACTICS NO TWO. Still the crowd was swelled by fresh arrivals?from where no one could guess, who they were no one seemed to know. But as the numbers increased hour after hour, the impression that fraud was being practiced become more generally preva. lent, and indeed do one could possibly resist the conclusion, before ball formed, that it was designed by a show of a large Unvoted crowd to keep the polls open un til every alley should be scoured, and by sending in a man for every registered vo ter who had not made bis appearance the Conservative majority could be overcome. Strange that the eyes of the Federal au thorHies should have been closed to this great and palpable fraud on the part of the liad'cal leaders, by whom the thing was planned, and under whose supervision it was undoubtedly carried out. HUNNICUTT's bon akrkstkd. About 12 o'clock, Colonel Rose was in formed that Jaines \V. liunnicutt, Jr., the youngest son of the ''Friend and lie* ro," and the writer of the New Nation paragraphs, bad been detected in tearing up Conservative election tickets. The Colonel promptly ordered the police to arrest him. Uaptam Kpps, after a short search, found him standing near the white poll, arrested and carried him before the Colonel, who asked blm if be bad torn Hp any tickets. lie replied that he had torn up bis own, and he wasn't afraid. Mr. McCormick and a little boy named Woodward, stated that they had seen him destroying Conservative tickets, acd were willing to swear to it. The Colonel then ordered the police to take him to the station house, which was done, but shortly afterwards he was can ried to the Libby. THE COMSU88ARY DEPARTMENT. Quite an excitement was created among the darkies at about S o'clock by the ar rival of Morrissey at the polls, in a hack, with a hundred loaves of bread, which were distributed among the hungry voters. Morrissey's device was a good one. After swallowing tbeir allowance, the negroes I avowed tbeir determination to ''fight it I out on that line" if it took all night. VOTINQ nr CANDLKUOltT. Although most persons, io tbeir own rniuda, had decided that the polls could not be closed as long as a coloured man remained tn the neighbourhood, it was the general impression that they would at least be closed at sunset on the third day. But when the sun went down the same long train of voters was presented to view, ana there seemed no signs of diminution. The Federal officers stated that the doors could not be closed until every man in the crowd was in soma way disposed of. The crowd was for the twentieth time dispersed by soldiers; overcoats were issuod to the troops ; a company of cavalry came up; and every preparation was made for night work. The voting was continued until 12 o'clock, when all present being disposed of, the polls were closed. RESULT. Wm. Taylor, the leading Conservative candidate, received 3369 white votes and 22 black votes. Hunnicutt, the leading Radical, received 8561 hlank votes, and -14 white votes. For convention, 104 white votes and 3574 black votes. Against convention, 3318 white votes and 8 black votes.

This gentleman La* recently published a letter in the Charleston Xewt on the subject of the approaching Convention.? There is much in the tone of his letter which we cannot approve, but in the main its warning is such as to entitle it to the consideration of the people in the important decision which they sro about A 1__ T> - ? ? iu iiihkp. oeiog 100 lengtny lor our space, we publish the following extracts : He favors a Convention and says : "If any one can see a possible advantage to be derived from 'opposition' in either of its forms, his views of public poli cy are at least peculiar. Those who have the power in their hands will not be In. timidated by anything short of terrors greater than they can inspire themselves. Now, what ia there within the reach ol the Southern people that can alarm the Republican party f The surrender of General Lee settled the arguments of force' forever, and if force cannot bo em ployed what will it avail to 'quarrel' about issues that we cannot possibly control f If the hope he, that the recent elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania exhibit the growth of Southern opinions in Northern latitudes, hear what is said bv a Charles tonian, now id New York : 'I know many of our people will conclude that the result of the late elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio will be of great service to them.? Such a hope is idle. The apparent defeat or me nepuuman party in those >""U>?te?, does not mean that the Northern people are not aa thoroughly united an to the rights of the South, aa they were in the early part of the year, tf our people did not learn enough of the perfidy of the Democratic party, during the war, they deserve to have the lesson taught tliem again,' Ac. This ia from the pen of a soldier and a clearheaded Southerner, who has watched closely every passing event as hearing upon the queationa of the day, and his opinion is that It would be 'idle' to expect any encouragement from the Democratic party in any of the issues now pending? for the late elections have only settled the domestic affairs of those States. The peo pie have said that they do not desire nei gro suffrage where they live, and that Is all that they intend to aay. They do not mean that they want any obstructions thrown in the way of reconstruction, hut they do intend to say that tbey consider the plan of reconstruction definitely set tied, and that it must he carried out in the South, no matter what questiooa it may please the voters of certain States to discuss among themselves. Let it not be forgotten that even ReverJy Johnson voted for thie plan as the best that could he devised ; and nothing has occurred since that tote that has changed bis opin ion. If the disagreeable alternative of ne. gro suffrage is made a condition, it is bei cause we refused to accept the Howard Constitutional Amendment, under which we might have been restored to the Union without that cooditioo. For this purpose the negro vote is a 'necessity' and cannot be dispensed with ; whatever may be the fature policy it is evident that that vote, on the present occasion, is simply a loco motive, plaoed upon the track in order to draw io the Southern States to their places in (he Union, which they refused to accept upon terms offered that were far less of^lion able. What can we possibly gain by continually annoying the Northern mind, and provoking it io tighten the cords by which we are already bound f But meet tbem in a spirit of cordial reconciliation we will find our protectors, where they ar? now AAnslsaidA'l * A I? : ' wiidumuou iu uo uiuivvuiv, prv^iuin^ for their own safety by depriving those who teem to be hostile of the power of doing any more harm. Let them be ensured that the South intends to harmonise cor dially with the North, and one by one the knots now complained of will be uotied, and the same power that has exerted itself so fearfully for evil will beoceforth be exerted in offices of valuable friendship. The first step to be taken in this new and desirable direction, is to vote for the Convention. Make it as respectable as possible, and let iu proceedings conform to the model prepared by Congress. If any delegate introduces other matter, foreign to the legitimate business of the Convention, or if it shall appear that its proper functions have been unwisely per verted to improper ends, the only remedy is with that Congress, which may eootain enemies or friends, just as the people may choose to make them, one or the other. If tbev entitle themselves to the protec* tioo of Congress, by a hearty acceptance of the terms offered, there is not a reason able doubt that the Constitution will be purified and made entirely acceptable to ua before that Congress will i in pone it upon those whoiu they with to protect.? Fortunately, no wild scbomea that may be introduced thereio by visionary delegates will become the law of this State, until tbey have been approved at Wash ington. If the South ever rises from its ruina, Northern capital and genius and energy must be the instruments emcloyed in its resuscitation. At present tliey are all driven away by the cold reception that lins been extended to them heretofore.? All that they want is a hearty welcome, and they will come, but not otherwise ; and that welcome they ought to have.-? We are a homogeneous peoplo?the joint heira of the same heritage of national trreatnesa and glory. The people of the North Isre already distinguished them selves in all the walks of science, civilir.ai tion and progress?their commerce whi?. tens every ocean, and their locomotives are now dashing overland through the home of the buffalo and the Indian, to scale the peaks of the Kocky Mountains and bertow the vitality of arterial circa latiou alike upon Maine and upon Uall forma. Who is there that is not willing to uniio his destiny with the future of such a people and to claim all the extra ordinary powers they have displayed, both in peace and in war, as their own ! Finally, the writer does not despair that the force of these considerations will reach the minds of some who will particularly examine them. Much has appeared in the public prints calculated to excite the mind against the Convention now about lobe held, whilst very few have been willing to eneourage the people in the adoption of a policy, the advocacy of which is calculated to attract odium. If there be any truth in the views here presented which the people ought to know, what ever odiurn may be excited in the attempts to place it before them, is a matter of very small consequence. They ought to know precisely where this tofe will place them, j If they could have found a friend in 1880 who would have told them frankly where secession would place them, they would have been saved all the toils and sutler* ing they have since endured. The reverse of the picture was never shown to them ?all such matter being excluded from the press?and they were led on, step by step, to me precipice, blindfolded, end lhan pitched over 1 The very same thing ia about being enacted over again. If the people can remember the pant, surely they wiM be wise for the future. Unless they have the power to 'force? the Rapub lican party from the plan of reconstruction, then, Upon every reason that ought to influence sensible men, they should go with it, and restore the State to the U nion ; and this can only be done by voting for a Convention ! True, there is much in the plan propoa ed which ia unpleaaant to the Southern people, and it ia but natural that many of them should express themselves in strong terms ; and no one would expect them to 'writhe with grace, or groan melodiously.' For these the greatest charity will he de manded, and should ha allowed, whilst others, who may respect the sentiments, will not acknowledge it as a rule of ae tion, hut prefer to be guided by those convictions of the understanding which demand reasons and not impulses as their governing principles."
