A striking leaiure 01 this vote was the part that a number I of Republicans who have heretofore been most violent and unscrupulous voted with Poland and against the uitias. The negroes and mulattos all voted to wipe out the Garland State government, as did the Southern Re publicans generally, except Whitely, of Georgia. Butler and his followers were much chagrined at the -result. This was the first clear victory woo I by the moderate Republicans over the Radicals. Its significance iavery great. .

CIVIL RIGHTS NEWS. Ex-Chief Justice Lochrane, of Geor gia, the ablest Republican in that tolate thinks as far as hotels are con cerned the law will be universally re sisted in the South, and as a law is mauifestlv? unconstitutional. Univer sal opposition to the law, be thinks, will render it a nullity. A number of the leading colored I men of Nashville, Tenn., unite in ex pressing the belief that the negroes will not take advantage of the civil rights bill to make themselves obnox ious. A few bull-headed, bigoted ne crroes mmht do so. but they were very few. The colored people want etl ueace. and as little agitation as a ' iioswble. The Richmond Whig states that two nights Bince three negroes walked into Heckler's barber shop, on the corner of Broad and Seventh streets. One of them, Elias Page, ordered one of the barbers (a colored man) in a vcrv peremptory manner to shave him, and then threw himself d a chair. The barber told him he mitrht sit there all night before he would get him to shave him. A po-1 liceman dispersed the crowd that had gathered to see the fun, but did not molest the ambitious Civil Righters, who, seeing they could not create a row, walked off. The shop was kept by a white man, borne time before this occurrence the same party of ne groes went into Mattern's bar room on Broad near Sixth, and called for drinks, asking-" the-price. The bar keeper charged them twenty-five cents per drink, which' they refused to pay, and left without drinking first taking down the name and num ber of the house. They then went, o Euker's aud Manly's bar rooms V obtained drinks at both places. Page, the ringleader, is a big and ill-featured negro, who has heretofore professed to hold his race in great contempt. The Baltimore Sun says that the i bill has so far caused no change in i the current order of things in Balti more, where the colored people take care of themselves, and, as a rule, mind their own business. No devia- tion from routine is expected, and - there will surely be no test of rights in public places there, except possibly from strangers. In Baltimore the community of colored people have their own schools aud churches, boarding honses, restaurants and grave yards. There have been long established : houses ; among them where accommodation desired is al ways to be bad. They have large aud commodious halls, and several of the churches will compare favorably with the churches of. any people. As for the right to travel, there has been no distinction on account of ' race, color or previous condition for some years. -1 The Richmond State Journal, per- 1 VOL.

This j substitute pro vides that any person indicted for failure to register property or polf lieved upon presentation oi a ' ' their tax receipts and the payment of all costs, the county in no case to be responsible" for any portion of the cost. Mr. Busbee advocated the passage of this bill.

Smith vs. The Mc- chanics' Buildlnz . and. Loan Association was heard before Judge Eerr at Chambers, yesterday. The entire day, excepting a recess for dinner, was consumed by the ar guments of Eugene S. Martin for the plain tiff and .Messrs. Chas. M. Stedman : and Adam Empie for the defendant The ar gument will be concluded to-day by Messrs Strange and London for the plaintiff : and George Davis, Esq., for the defendant. Both sides are fighting determinedly for victory, as a large amount of money de pends upon the result of the contest. ; The plaintiff asks for an injunction re straining the defendant from selling under foreclosure of mortgage certain real estate, which had been conveyed to the defendant as security for the payment of the monthly dues and interest for which, as a member of the corporation, the defendant says he is responsible.; Smith's stock has been-, rc deemed by the Association,. and the money paid to him. He seeks to avoid the payment of further monthly dues and interest upon the amount received by him from the Asso ciation lipon several grounds: He says, through his counsel, that he was misled by the representations of others in his contract with the Association, that the contract is usurious, and that the charter of the Asso ciation is in violation sf that section of our State Constitution forbidding exclusive privileges. The counsel for the defendant insist that his contract was of his own mak ing and that he should be held to its per formance; that there can be no usury in the case, as the plaintiff sold his stock to the Association; that there was no loan, and, even if there had been, that the Association! had only exercised the powers expressly granted by its charter; that the grant of those powers was not in violation of our Constitution; and that, admitting that such was the case, the plaintiff could not be heard to deny the constitutionality of the charter, inasmuch as he was one of the original subscribers, and instrumental in procuring the legislation of which' he now complains. - L Thexases of Carney W. Oldham and W. D. Mahn against the Association involve the same issues. In those cases the same counsel appear, Messrs. R. Strange, M. London and E. S. Martin for the plaintiffs, and Messrs. Wright & Stedman, George Da vis and Adam Empie for the defendant. Great interest is manifested in the result of the decisions in all these cases and a con siderable crowd gathered in the Court House yesterday to hear the discussion.

Usher was a resident of Wilmington and of about middle age. Injunction Cases at Ralelen.

We learn Uiat the plaintiff first made ap plication to U. S.

The plaintiff produced a copy of the Stab oi the 3rd instant, in which was published the full text of the bill. He was told that that was not sufficient, and further- more that there were some doubts as to its applicatioa to liquor saloons.
