ARE EEBELS T0 APPOINT REGISTERS'

IRE EEBELS TO .lPPOLNT REGISTERS'
We print to-day a copy of circular letter
from GOV. Orr of South Carolina addressed tO
the CLERK, Sheriff, Ordinary and Masters i'll
Equity" at Charleston, relating To the rcgi>tra-
tion of voters under the late Reconstruction acts
of Congress. The Governor says II Is
with "vicw of being able 10 fur
"nish Major-Gcn. SicklcS commanding this
district. with the names of suitable persons who
may act as Registers of the voters Of the seve-
"ral districts in the State. and also rs managers
"of elections" that he issues this circular; but IL
does not appear that Gen. SicklcS made any
request for this kind of aid from Coy. Ou,
though it s possible lac may have done 50.
The whole black portion of the voters OF south
Carolina may be thus easily excluded from
registration. In the execution of the Recon
structiOn acts, the registration of voters,
black and white, j. the weak and
difficult point. 1t is easy Ia commit very
gross frauds upon the law itself, and
the greatest injustice to the Unionists OF both
colors The law requires the Registers TO be
appointed by the commander oi-the district
should the commander, therefore, appoint per
SONS ~ Registers who are opposed 10 the pur-
poses and policy of the law-which requires
fnll and complete registration of all
citizens, black and white. who can take
the oath contained iii the act-they
might easily defeat those purposes This may
he done in various ways: as for instance, Ivy
omitting to put up proper and sufficient notices
of the time and place of registration; by
neglectimg to attend AT the proper time and
place by assuming tO act as judges III deter
mining whether any person having taken
the prescribed oath is yet entitled 10 bc
registered; by intmdating and overawing
feeble and ignorant persons, both white
and black, claiming the right and by
various other means not TO be fOrescen. And
for all these defaults, the President of the
United States, under whpse direction the mill
tary commander is appointed, cannot III any
way be held responsible, because, having
directed the appointment of competent and
honest man as commander, his duty Is dis
charged Nor could the commander himscli~bc
held responsible unless it should appear nc
acted in fraudulent collision with the Registers,
and then probably only before military trib-
unal, to be appointed by the President.
Thus it will be seen with what ease the
great object of the Reconstruction acts, so far
as they relate TO registration, may be defeated.
Ii is not yet apparent that President Johnson
intends in good faith to execute these laws,
though it is to be hoped he will do So Upon
this faithful execution of them depends the
peace and tranquility of the whole country.
They decree, and justly decree, that all men,
both white and black, citizens of the United
States and twcnty-one years old, not eycludedby
the terms of the oath written W tue law, shall

have the right to he registered as voters. MIR
Johnson in his vctoes and in numerous other
forms hd, denied The power OF Congress
% grant this important right lie
has denounced it as unconstitutional
revolutionary, anarclical and if any presump-
ton % to his future action be allowable the
most natural one would be chat, even if he does
not opposc its execution he would not inter
fere to prevent the modification OF It's intent
Even without taking one step OF open dlSoDe-
.ai..enae, the President may permit the laws TO
be mi5con5,tued and cVaded.
If Cen Sicklcs has vested any authority III
Gov. Orr in reference TO the appointment OF
Registers, it ought at once TO be revoked 1of
it is little better than an insult to the Union
people that one of the eXRebel leaders dlS-
qualified voter, shOuld dabble in such matter,
or be allowed to give advice upon 1t III any Iorli
We are Informed that delegation OK cOlorco
citizens called upon Gen. SiClleS very recently
and respectfully requested him to select some
of the Registers from among the colored popu-
lation. They were answered that their request
should he considered The white voting popu-
laton of South Carolina is estimated at
10000, while that of the black amounts

hoped that this request will be granted; and
that the circular of Gov. Orr, in which no
allusion to Unionists or Loyalists, either white
or black, is made, and the only motive OF
which seems to have been that strangers,
"whO may not have a correct appreciation OF
"the wants of the community" should have
nothing to do with the registration, may not
determine the method of appointing Registers
in Gen. Sicklcs's district.

The Hefalds special dispatch says it is as
serted in Washington, that Secretary Stanton
intends to resign.
Gen. Sheridan has telegraphed to General
Grant, declining to extend the time for regis
tration in Louisiana in compliance with the
Presidents conditional instructions, on the
ground that registi alton has been completed,
and he did not feel like keeping up expensive
boards to suit useless issues coming in at the
eleventh hour. He characterizes the Attorney
Generals opinion as opening broad road for
perjury and fraud to travel upon, and remarks
upon the Presidents bitter antagonism to the
reconstruction law. If after the report the
time is to be extended he desires to be notified,
and will obey. He would do it at once, but the
Fresident's telegram was conditional.
Gen. Sickles has written to Senator Wilson
that the appropriation for the expense Of re
construction is entirely inadequate, and the
funds devoted to his district are already alb
sOrbed. The Navy and Treasury Departments
have declined to assist him with funds. The
full sum appropriated was half million, and
is required Tor the Chroiinas alone.

was Major Seward; turned to Major Seward
and as)ed him to let me go and to grab the
other man aud cut his throat; we then got to
the door and Payne got away, and on the way
down he struck Mr.. Harrison, the chief mes
senger of the State Dept. l afterwards recog-
nized the man as Lewis Payne. Witness
received four wounds from Payne one ON the
forehead, two on the right shoulder and one
under the left shoulder blade; during the scuffie
l saw a revolver in Payne's hand; the knife
was a long, sharp, bright one, what is called
bowie knife; PAYNE was dressed in drab
oyercoat, dark pants and sOuched hat; L
think he wore pair Of heavy boots but don't
recoilcct whether he wore spurs or not; altef
Payne had gone L saw splnters OF the revolv-
er; also saw the splnters at the assassination
conspiracy trial; have the knife in my pos
session; it was presented to me by the Secre-
tary of War. Witness here described The
wounds on Mr.. Fredk. Stewards person. The
witness then resumed, and said he then turned
his attention TO Mr. Seward and found him lay
ing on the floor; Miss Fannie Seward came up
and asked if her father was dead, and Mr..
Seward revived, and said Il am moi lead; send
for a doctor; send for the police; close the
house" Witness told him he had done all
that, and Mr.. Seward was then placed in bed !;
all the blows at the Secretary of State were
struck while he was lying in bed; Payne struck
at Mr.. Seward five or six times, and with much
force; the wounds appeared to be very severe.
Witness described Mr. Stewards wonds. Payne
was very strong man.

John w. Pyles sworn and examined by Mr.
Wilson. Resides in Prince Georges County,

knew John FL. Surratt had a conversation
with him either in ga or 50; it was about three
months before the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln;
witness had left home and was working at his
mothers: Mr. Surratt came to sign papers as a
Justice of the Peace he seemed to be urgent
to do the business, and we proposed to go over
to my brothers, and while walking along Sur
raft said he wanted to 60 away TO avoid the
draft; / think he said he was going to Canada
don't remember whether he wanted to make
his mother safe OR not, or whether he wanted
money for his voyage; L am not sure about the
conversation, but think he wanted to make his
mother secure in case of his failure TO return
partly understood he was to raise money and
he wanted to secure his mother.
No cross-eXamination.
At 1870 the court took recess of half an
hour
After recess to-day long argument ensued
upon motion by the defence to be allowed to
recall witnesses for the purpose of laying
foundation to discredit them by cross-examin-
alton. The object was to prove that Lee had
made statements different from those made OH
the stand, and that another witness had ac-
knowledged his corruption half an hour after
he left the stand. The Court reserved its de-
cison, and at go p. M. adjourned until 10
