The commissioners hive decided that challengers win be allowed at the pollsfto day. Take advantage of this and nail the interlopers to the croas.

Exciting Scenes at the City Hall-T. J. Mackey as a Non-combatant- .v White Citizen Badly Cat-Tue Murderous At? tack of Monday-Outrageons Behavior Of the Torchlight Procession- The Total Registered Vote. The city was comparatively quiet yesterday, ana, as the white citizens assembled at the pol.s in considerable force, the Radicals, for the most part, were on their good behavior. Deep indigna? tion waa excited by the report or the deviltries of thc torchlight procession or Monday, printed in yesterday's NEWS, and both native and adopt? ed citizens vowed that they would, at the polls to-day, stop the Pillsbury Ring or the powers which they exercise to the detriment of the wholi people. The result or the registration was re? garded as highly favorable to the cause of good government, lt is conceded on all sides that vigorous and steady work.to-day will secare the triumph of the Citizens' parr. ALMOST A FICHT IN THE CITY HALL. Profiting by the experience of tbe preceding day, the working committee of Ward 1 turned ont In numbera, and at an early hour the City Hall, where the registration was going on, was Ailed Vtlr yoong men standing and sitting quietly ?.round. Things looked threatening, but all pas? ed "off quietly nntll about 12 o'clock, when a sea? faring white man presented himself for registra? tion. Thomas Jefferson Mackey, the disinterested, immediately challenged the registration, as he was in the habit of doing every.other about which , he did not himself know all the facts. The candi? date atated that he plied his trade between this port and Wilmington, bad paid reu t here for three years, and had a family In the city. Upon this one of the managers proposed to allow him to register. The disinterested here got furious and denounced the family or .the candidate for regis? tration in the coarsest terms, and putting on his fiercest look tried to make capital with his party by acensing the Citizens' party of the perpetration of all or the frauda In registration. One of the managers calmly told him this was not so, and suggested that the Rad . ca is were to be blamed In almost every In? stance for Illegal registrations. The Tex m Ranger tried another bluff, and wound up an In. Oammatory harangue with, "It ia' you white scoundrels who flogged and lacerated the bare backs or negro slaves that caused thia trouble." mis was too ninon for flesh and bl jod to bear, and Mr. Moses Levy, jumping np, siid to the Mexican hero: '-Yon liar; you d-ti lying puppy," and "went tor that heatben Chi ee." A tremen? dous row ensued, the negroes outside of the rail big y e ling out, "Stand up to him T. J., wewillback you;" but, unsustatned by morphine, Bombastes was unequal to the fray, and executed a flank movement ont ol the row in a manner most creditable to his prudence. The confusion lasted Tor a few minutes, and waa considerably increased by the new special police, who knew nothing or ?heir duty, and ran around brandishing their :lnba with all the symptoms of helpless insanity, rte managers did their utmost to.atop the dis inrbance, and too much credit cannot be.given to oieutenant J, J. Young, whose prompt action did nuch toward restoring quiet in the hall. RIOT is FRONT OP THE G CAB ono us 2. About half-past 7 o'clock in the evening, one or he moat serious riots which occurred during the lay originated In iront or the Guardhouse, in Broad street Toe crowd, which waa compoaed neatly of colored mer, were highly excited over | he arrest or one of their number, when an alter? ation occurred between two white men. As me of them rushed apon tue other, a negro fuck hin' In the back part or the head, and the .low p rec pl tated the riot. The crowd surged ogether, and awayed to and fro, cursing and ellln?, ant', striking ont wildly and indlscrlml lately. The police were] convenient, and, hurry - og oat, seized several ot the. articlpan ts. These rere pulled towards and into the large iron gate f the Guardhouse. The police, however, were nable to close the gates against the crowd, and hey rushed in. A violent struggle now ensued tat within the gate, and, as thc dense masa loved ab mt, the lampshades quivered, and the alustrarte of the office threatened each moment 3 be broken down. By degrees, the disturbance ;rew less, and, as noone knew what they were ghtlng about, the participante soon gave np the port. Oae co'oed policeman was severely cut i the neck and head, and one colored citizen ras wounded In the head with a brick. ? SAMPLE O UTK A GK. Abont 9 o'clock Monday evening, as Mr. John. L Miller was re turnia g to'his home tnfiogard f .ree: through Rutledge avenue, his attention V 'as arrested as the Radical mob approached him ^ y seeing two persons quarrelling on the aide- v ?als. He atepped up and, while trying to make V eace between them, the torchlight procession ^ uno np and he was assailed, by a powerful ne? ro. Mr; Miller defended himself unarmed, but 'as assailed on all sides by the Infuriated mob, ne of whom strack him across the head with a lung shot. They then trampled and heat him e s he lay, and left him for dead upon the street. ? ila frienda took him up and carried him ) bia home near by, where he received ledisaUaaalatance, He waannconscioua for several _ oura, and bnt little hopes were entertained ol' ls recovery. Yesterday morning several pieces r skull, which had been crashed In by the blow, -ere extracted by his physicians^ Liter in the ay Mr. Miller was much better, though ordered ot to move by his physician. He was sufficiently 1 ecovered to converse with our reporter, and gave * he true statement of the rac ta or thia inhuman 1 utrage as they occurred.

J The half or the ??atemptlble outragea com- t kitted during the Radical saturnalia of M J nd ay t Ight are not yet told. The reckless band of J owling negroes Who made that flight hideous . nd memorable missed no opportunity or vent- i lg, under the cowardly cover or the certainty or J on-ldentincatlon iii the mob, every sort of petty e pito against their political opponents, and. In- t eed, against every one whose appearance or 1 arroaudings bore evidence of prosperity. The lob seemed actuated by the same Illogical granan fury that recently Impelled La ommune of unhappy Paris, and filled tat Qaeen City of the world with ie abomin?t iou of desolation. Only one notlcea le difference exists between the two kinds or t reconcilable*. The Paris mob was an emption 1 gainst the local and national authority, while e ie Charleston rioters are not only encouraged, f at organized and led by the very officials whose t olees, and whose acts, should be directed on the ^ de of repression of violence and conservation or c ?ace. Of the incidental outrages remaining to i ; chronicled, tbe following are flt examples: Ighted torches were hurled Into the open win- i Dws or a house on Rutledge avenue, and another i a Calhoun street; ladles In their residences, all t long the line or march, were Batu: ed s Ita torrents of profanity, mixed with t ie most vulgar ribaldry, and on Rutledge c venue brickbats and other missiles were hurled 1 moog the gronps of ladles on the piazzas and at c ie doors and windows. The Board of Trade I >oms were also attacked with a shower of mis- c les, which bad the effect of injuring an unoffen d . s ig colored man. While the procession was t [arching up Broad 6treet, Mr. W. P. Poulnot, a s rlvate watchman, was strack a terrible blow in i ie abdomen with a club In the hands of one of r ie processionists, and had barely time to escape Ith his life from tbe attacks of the mob. I AN EMBUTE IN COLUMBUS STREET. t The registration at the polling place in Ward 7 S rogressed quietly until about ten o'clock, when c [r. Calvert, a white man, living In Hanover c ireet, came forward to register. The members c f the Citizens' party present all knew him, as t ld also the Radical challenging committee, bnt t e was challenged by a colore J outsider, and one ian frota each committee was sent with him to t 13 residence to allow him to verily hts statement, v m their return and favorable report he was al- i ?wed to register, and had loft the place, when s he Radicals, who had congiegated outside, and t rcrc angry at-having been foiled in their at smp*. to cheat him out of his vote, seeing ba: few s I waite men present, rushed ripon Calvert, insult? ing and assailing him. An alarm was given, ?nd the citizens rallied, and three minutes thereafter the disturbance was over and the rioters had lied. .Tney were identified by Radical managera aa emiasaties from Warda l and 2, who had evident? ly come np for the purpose of causing trouble. Tbe policemen present acted welland the dla tnrbancea ended without a ahot being fired or a knife used, a few well directed jlowa with na? ture's weapons being all tba" passed. DONNYBROOK FAIR IN WARD 8. The first precinct or the eighth ward was not by any means as quiet as most or the others, and early in the morning large groups of men belong? ing to the opposing parties were gathered about the poll at the Niagara Engine-house In Sires street. About o o'clock, a colored-candidate for registration was challenged by Mr. M. Hogan, who recognized him aa one cf the hands working at a certain mill across the river in St. Thomas. The fellow, with a huge stick, backed out into the street, shouting, "Who ls Hogan anyhow," and calling him a "Irish honad." This was too much, and Hogan jumped into ?he street and rushed at the negro. The friends of both parties crowded in, and for a time bloody work seemed Imminent. The efforts of the peacemakers, how? ever, succeeded, and the two principals in the disturbance were arrested, to be released around the corner. No deadly weapons were used, and nobody waa hurt. At the Congress street precinct all waa quiet Registration went on slowly,'and the managers amused themselves at intervals with eating'] watermelons. MIND YOUR TICKETS. The tickets or the Citizens' party will be printed especially ror each ward with'the regular nomi? nee for school commissioner upon them. Get your tickets at your own^preclnct, for if you vote for a school commissioner out or your ward, your vote will be thrown away and thu9 help to elect the Radical nomm?e. TBK BALLOT BOX. These old-time ; affairs have been once more pulled , but-from the dusty corner In the Court? house, where they have lain since the Reform campaign, and were yesterday distributed among the managers for duty t?-day. Each one of them was locked and the key delivered to the manager. The slit In the top was not covered with paper, but lt waa left for the managers to open the box and see that lt ls empty when the voting begluB. When the polia are dosed, they will be brought to the Courthouse and deposited in 1 he court-rojm of.the Common Pleas, where they will be watch? ed by a committee appointed by both parties. This watch will be continued until the votes aball be counted, which will take place to-morrow, be? ginning at io o'clock, A. M. Let our ottlzena pdt the conservative tickets In the boxes, and care will be taken that they remain Intact until they are c inn ted. WHILE TBS LAMP H0LD8 OUT TO BURN, AC.

A meeting of citizens was held at noon yes erday in the rooms of the Bank of Charleston In lursuance of the following call, issued at 9.30 k.M. . The undersigned have jost been informed that i small body of gentlemen (not over twenty in lumber) have taken their stand at the polia with he Intention of protecting the ballot, and ir force a bronght against them, to meet loree with orce, even if crashed in the effort. It ls also aa lertalned that no arrangements whatsoever have teen concerted by them for the purpose of sus alning themselves am the community In the ?cry serious issue thoa presented. It appears to he undersigned that lt ls due to these gentlemen hat their friends In the community should deter nine upon one of two courses-either that lt la In? expedient In the present condition of affairs In his city (hat such an Issue should be thus pre? en ted, or that a few brave men should be left to he mercy of a mob. A meeting la called at tne ?oms or the Bank or Charleston at 12 o'clock M. (Signed) S. LORD, Jr., B. W. RDTLKBGE, CHARLES KLCBABDSON MILES, F. J. PO RC U KR, , THEODORS G. BARKER, LOUIS D. DBSAUSSURE, S. Y. TUPPER. About one hundred and fifty gentlemen assem iled in response to thia call, among whom were ?eluded many of the most reputable and influ? ential merchants of the city, and the spirit manl ested during the meeting Indicated a determtna ton to exhaust every method to aecure to all the rotera In the city, Irrespective of partisan consid? ?rations, their full rights during the registry and lolling of votes. The meeting was called to order by Hon. Isaac v. Hayne, Mr. George S. Holmea waa chosen Bec -etary, and tne objects of the meeting explained >y Major T. G. Barker. He said that la view of the erlous crisis that appeared impending it was heir duty to gravely consider the? question of. iounselling these young men, who were endeavor ng to defend tbe ballot, to avoid auch a line or ouduct as might nnder any circumstances result n a collision and be attended with the loss or ure, ir of supporting and sustaining them in their clf-lmpused and patriotic duty. The blood of hese gallant and devoted men was very precious, ,nd he did not want to sec lt wasted la unorgan zed efforts at repulsing an indiscriminate and eckiess mn. After a few remarks from Colonel Lord, Mr. jonisD. De Saussure suggested that an application ie made to the commanding officer of the United ?tates troops at thia post for detachments of his ommand, to be stationed at such points through mt the city as would best insure the preservation ir order, and expressed his entire confidence in he desire of the commandant to aid in the main enance of peace. A auggestlon was made to communicate by elegraph with Governor Scott to secure his lnter enilonto preserve the peace; but it waaan lounced that the Governor had left the State and ,one for a visit to Ohio, being therefore Inaccesl ile. Colonel W. L. Trenholm said that he under? took that General Anderson, the adjutant and inspector general of the State, was in the city, and he would therefore be a proper officer to consnlt with in the existing emergency. He therefore proposed that a committee be appointed for-the porp032 bf consoltlng w:tu the adjutant' general the United states commander, And the Mayor, and offered the following resolutions to that effect: Resolved, That a delegation of twelve gentle? men be ur pom ted by the chal? to call npon the constituted authorities Immediately, and demand, In the name of the people of Charleston, ample protection In the exercise of all their rights of citizenship; and to that end to request that a sufficient force Of police and United Sutes troops be at once sent to the polls, and kept there until the close of the election. Resolved, That the delegation proceed without delay to 'confer with the Mayor of this city, the adjutant and Inspector-general of the State, and the officer commanding the United States troops at this point, and urge upon them their imme? diate action, and tender, to them the moral and, If necessary, the physical snpport of al: the young men in the city. These resolutions being adopted, the following committee was appointed by the chair-the chair being, on motion, added thereto : Hon. George A. Trenbdlnr, Robert Adger, w. C. Bee, Oliver Mid? dleton, lu D. DeSaussnre, James. R. Pringle, Hon.. Henry Gourdin, A. J. White, H. H. DeLeoo, s. Y. Tupper, C. Richardson Mlles, F. J. Porcher, Hon. I. W. Hay ne. The following resolution was then offered by Charles Richardson Miles, Esq., and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That this meeting request every citi? zen of Cnarleston to repair forthh to the poll lng precinct of his ward, and to remain during the registration a d election for the purpose o: preserving O'der, apd that every place or busi? ness be cl3sed. It was further resolved to Issie a notice re? questing the presidents of the -variosB city clubs to hold meetings last evening, in their respective halli, In order to be prepared for any action that might be rendered aece-sar/, and a recess was taken until 3 o'clock P. M., pending the report of the committee of consultation. . EVENING 8E33ION. . The meeting reassembled at 3 P. M., to receive the report of the committee appointed In the morning. ^ The chairman, Colonel Hayne, Informed the meeting that the committee had discharged their duty and were still in conference with Mayor Pillsbury, General Anderson, A. and 1. G., and General Getty, the United States commandant. The general plan of action had been determined on, bnt the details were not yet fully adjusted. Major T. G. Barker then submitted the following resolution: Resoled, That all good citizens and property holders are requested to close their places or bu? siness, and to lend their presence at .the polls In their respective wards, during the hours of elec? tion, on the day or election, prepared to preserve the-peace, and to romain until the ballots are put m a place or security. Mr. JVM. Rhett opposed the resole.tlon upon the ground that as United States troops were to be stationed at the precincts, lt was useless lor the citizens to go there. He thonght that the white people were quite strong enongh to defend the voters and the ballots, and he did not approve of calling in the soldiers to discharge what was the plain duty of the citizens. After some explanatory remarks by Mr. Geo. S. Cameron and Colonel McUrady, the resolntion was adopted. The Hon. G. A. Trenholm, chairman of the com? mittee to confer with the authorities, was now present, and submitted the following report : The committee have had an interview with the Mayor, and with General Anderson and General Getty. The latter officer assured the committee that a detachment of United States soldiers, ranging in number from three to six as required, would be stationed at each pollinj precinct du? ring the time that the polls remained open. The Mayor had promised that he would appoint last night a body of one hundred.and twenty-five white special constables or police, (he had ap? pointed one hundred aRd twenty-five in the morning, or whom only eight or ten were whites) who should give authority to the soldiers to in? terfere in case or riot. Both Generals Getty and Anderson met with alacrity the proposition of the committee, and lt was due to the Mayor to say that he seemed disposed to go as rar aa he could In the same direction. The committee impressed upon the authorities the fact that they sought the advantage or no political party, that they were actuated by no animosity towards say class or people,, and that their true object was the pre. vention ot disorder and the maintenance of peace. They did not ask for protection. They . only asked the co-operation of the Municipal, State and Federal authorities in an effort to avoid the occasion of riot. The authorities appeared to be strack by this statement, and from the first there was na discussion except or details. Gene? ral Getty said that his artillery should be ready for action, and that a section, If desired,-could be stationed In the City Square. The committee did. not think this necessary. All that they wanted was i he presence at the polls or men who bore the emblems of authority, which every one could recognize, and who would be prepared to put down any disturbance. The nnmber of soldiers detailed for each ward would be determined on at once, and the Mayor had promisedHo appoint, without delay, the white special police. The report of Mr. Trenholm was accepted, and the meeting, on motion, adjourned sine die. i The meeting altogether was one of the utmost significance, and Its result shows plainly that the citizens of Charleston will to-day be protected at all hazards lu the peaceable exercise of their right ol suffrage. FINAL A KEAN OEM SST WITS MAYOR PILLS ?UR Y . A sub-committee or citizens met Mayor Pills? bury and General Anderson, by appointment, at s P. M. They agreed, after a free taut, npon the following arrangement : That as General Getty bad promised to station a squad af United States soldiers at each precinct, no' special policemen should be allowed on duty, at any point,.to-day One deputy sherill for each precinct should be appointed by the sheriff from the police force, and none but the regular police force should be on duty. "WHO WOULD BE FREE, themselves must strike the blow." An opportunity to free this city from Radical misrule ls offered to-day, and may not occur again for many y?ars. -? A DOUBLE DUTY.-Yesterday's registration completes the assurance or the possibility of a vic? tory to-day if every mao will come to the poUi to vote and stay there to discourage, by hts pres ance, the first Indication of turbulence. There IS a double duty lu Charleston citizenship to-day. Let it be performed.
