at lias been done, even in ourjowti county,
d the lesson taught by thvactiou of the pseudeinocratic
candidates opposed to us, in pio- I>
dining themselves no candidates, but telling
j radicals they would serve them if elected,
is a lesson of more importance to the party
d State than may at first appear.
The election was peaceable throughout the n
uuty. We have only hen id of one light, and
it was solely upon personal grounds, and he
ecu white fiieu.
A liotcable feature at every box was (he sul1
stubornucss of the negroes. They had ev*
antly been well drilled. They would not talk
even drink with a democrat until after they I'
id voted. Many of them who had voted with
before, voted solidly against us last Tuesday,
icy had been imposed upon in souio way, but
whom it is pretty well known, ami they will
