Tne mnjon-ty is not more unexpected than Nearjy all business was suspended, and from the opening of the polls to the close, a meroile, unrelenting ana continuous stream of while citizens poured in their votes frir the Bartlett ticket. The- radicals' were not prepared for In the morning they were jubilant, defiant and sanguine of success nut in a snort time tney saw tne white people bUy at work and voting with a determination to defeat tht Rudical-ne- pro ticket, unci by noon the cirtimpioos of in 'xh! boIioiiIo and social equality, plainly saw that they would nverwlnlmed.

Hun dreds of men undoubtedly voted yester day tbat have long habitually neglected tbut duty. Tbe success tbat has crowned their effort ought to encourage them to preserve in welldoing in future elections.

A special to the Appeal' from Helena" Arkansas received at a. m. saya At eleven o'clock last night three ladies" and two gentlemen arrived bere'-ffdiii Austin in a skiff and report considerable fight-' ing late yesterday evening, ine comman der of the post whose jnainewe did- not1'" learn, dispatched a scout of 25 men on the road to Cold Water Station on the Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad, and captured a picket of negroes who were stationed about two miles from town and brought them in aa prisoners and disarmed them. Ooe of them, as they were being'- put into the Court House tried to make his escape, when he was fired upon and killed, and in the melee which ensued' another negro was wounded but not fatal- lv. ikifer.id the' even log it larger body1of negroes advanced -from the south, aU laoted the town, driving in the white skirmishers to the Couri-Hquse, where the iuain body of whites wera stationed.

A charge was mads by tbo whites, and the negroes were repulsed with the loss of several killed nod wounded, Fighting was going on when our informants Lsfr and tbey were fired upoo as they crossed' over to Ship Island. A second dispatch from Helena says Maior Horn Chalmers, of Hernando, has jtiBt arrived here, for the purpose ofchsr wring a ooat to tase men to tue asamiouto of the whites in Austin. He says a courier frotn Mayor Woodson, of Austin, reached Hernando at daylight, stating that the town was surrounded by about i.oocr" negroes, and asking for help, About.

The serious: and. determined temper of ir II a iA Si JLl tne uetnoorum auuuau 10 juoi me uieu-tal condition of tbe old party that we have long looked for, and 'believed when, it should come, would be the Bigo and por tent ot a victory to sweep an oppoeuion before it.

It clear, indeed, that the convictions that preserved' so loog, and under circumstanciea ao adverse to their apparent realization, must have been strong? firm.

Tbey were maintained1 upon what seemed to us an impregnable hypothesis. This government began to fall into corrup tion and decay from tbe moment tbat tbe principles and statesmen of the Damoarat-ic party were expelled from its counoilea. It went from bad to worse until the ruin of American institutions finally stared tbe people in the face Tbe experimeut of the' enti-Democratio policy of administration was complete, for it extended over three Presidential terms of office. The cause of decay being obvious, tbe remedy was plain. It was to retrace the Bteps tbat led to the downward career, Either the constitu tional policy of the Democrats had to be restored', or tbe fiee principles of the United States would be lost in the establish ment of a government of one man power, Under no matter what name of Empire, Monarchy, or Military Dictatorship.

Which was the most likely! We found answer to this question in tur abiding faith in the instinctive and educated Jove of tbe American people for liberty. The Gov eminent and office-holders bad become alone thoroughly corrupt. Men nearest to ilm m.uc,nm,.nl imnnlfio. infahui. And eitenjpsallon.
