registering officers, and assisting them
in the preliminary measures of the ke-
construction bill. This feeling among
the people is general-even those dis
qualified by the bill have in many cases
proffered their assistance, and impressed
upon their neighbors the actual neces-
sity of a policy Of non-interference with
the registration Of all duly qualified
voters in the State. The best of feeling

and land owners arc beginning to see
the prime virtue of creating modes of
employment for negroes, and are offer
