The Registry,

The Registers have been appointed
by General Sheridan for the country
parishes and are to commence the work
Of registry on the'drst day of May and
to complete it in sixty days Some
complaint has been uttered with regard
ao,she individuals who have been ap-
pointed, most of whom do not reside in
the parishes where they are to operate,
and few of whom command that respect
of the people which would afford a
guarantee that their work will be faith
fully and impartially done. Still we
hope for the best. We would urge
every one, qualified to vote, to cohie
forward and register at once. The
time is short and the facilities for regis
tration limited. Let there be no delay
in this matter. We hope We have SUI
5flciently shown that no man can refuse
Ito register without inficting an injury
on the State at this particular time
The enemies of law and order are NOV
ing Heaven and Earth to throw the
control of the State into the hands OF
the Revolutionary Party, and to saddle
,as forever with such legislation as that
mnder which our friends in Missouri
and Tennessee are now suffering. II
the Radicals have the ascendencyin the
convention every man not Radical
will be disfranchised forever, as in
those states, and probably q general
scheme of confscation will be set or
foot. Inactivity now is, therefore
criminal in the highest degree. Let nj
one refuse to register under the belle
that the plan of reconstruction will mo-
be fairly carried out. 1t will certainly
be carried out if the Radicals have ,
majority, which they will of cours'
have if we sit idle. by action we ma.

York, proposing to connect The two cities
by MEANS of aamnling the East river, and
building number Of inanlense guays from
shore to shore, with openings to allow of
the passage of vessels at certain stated
times, the depth Of water to be regulated
by means of locks or Hood gates The
quays are to be from three to four hundred
feet wide, affording room for the erection
of fine stores and ware-houses-street room
for the passage Of drays, carriages, &C.,
and sidewalk for pedestrians. The wa
ter will keep the passages clear, and the
air will make it cool and healthy. Street
rail roads running on the quays will con-
meet the two cities, which will then be
geographically one, and the use OF ferry
boats will be obviated. The additional
building room gained will be extensive,

FASHIONS. Judging from the many

seem to find it difficult matter to
