Registration Vagaries.

The New Orleans papers, since the
opening of the Registry in that city,
have, from time to time, published the
peculiar freaks and opinions of the Reg
listers. We will follow the example set
lis and detail, without comment, the
reflections of the Alexandria sovereigns
OF "white trash" The Office was duly
opened on Saturday the 4th inst,
Azariah F. Wilde, of New Orleans, and
John Strother, of Hineston Precinct,
Parish of Rapides being the two pres
ent. George Dorman,- Little River,
Parish of Rapides, North side of the
river, 5th Military District, the other
Register, did not answer the tap of the
drum and the good work was commenc-
ed without him. In fact we can see but
little use even for the gentleman from
Hineston, as the member from New Or
leans, and his efficient clerk, are doing
all the work, both the brain and muscle
part. We beg to move that they re-
ceiye, as matter of justice and fair
ness, the whole pay OF the three Reg
listers.
The following persons were not per-
mitted to register: G. w. Boyce, a ma
tive of the country and a resident of
this Parish since 1874, because he was
o member of the Police Jury previous
to the war. Isaac Levy, a naturalized
citizen and q voter here Of at last TWEEN
ty years, because he could not show his
papers. The evidence ofthis was burn
ed in the Court House in May 1864, at
Banks grand torch light retreat, and
the original papers.in the house of said
Levy.
Joseph w. Moore, the present Parish
Recorder, was rejected, although he
was fortunate enough to have his pa
pers, because when he became a citizen,
he swore to support the constitution of
the United States etc.
Isaac Lacroix, a native of the Parish,
at least forty years of age, because he
was a Lieutenant of Militia before the
war.
S. w. Henarie. the oldest inhabitant
of the Town, save and except the ven
cradle editor ofthis paper, was rejected
because he filled the Office of Mayor of
Alexandria, in 1866, three months, hav-
ing never been sworn in or commits
stoned.
Judge NJ. Ryan, a naturalized citizen,
before the war Representative and Sen
ator, was allowed to register.
w. w. Wilmington, before the war,
4 Representative, was also allowed to
register.

A Romantic Incident,
From the N. Albany Ledger

A singular and rather romantic incident
was related to us yesterday. A young la
|dy living in Corydon, who had by life Of
dissipation, and prostitution, lost the re.
spect Of the decent portion ofthat commu-
nifty, and who it was also believed had CIV
en- birth to negro child, after finding her.
self an outcast and an abandoned woman,
resolved to leave the place where she was
stunned and despised, and lead in the fn.
ture life Of rectitude and Of virtue. She
removed to Ohio. For O long time moth
ing was heard from her. But finally, an
Ohio paper was received in Corydon, an
nouncing the marriage of this young lady
to the Hon. Mr.. -. The paper compli-
mented the happy bridegroom upon his
good fortune in securing such an accom-
plished and handsome wife as Miss---.
For while this marriage was the subject
Of much gossip in Harrison county. in a
few months, however, it ceased to excite
any interest and would have been forgotten
entirely, had it not been for visit of the
DR.. and Mrs.-to Corydon. Husband
and wife took the stage for Corydon at
New Albany, and seemed to enjoy them
selves very much in each others society
during the ride. At Corydon the stage
stopped at the hotel, and they got out, tie
husband requesting q nice room. The
landlord, who recognized in the wife the
abandoned women. of Corydon id other
days, refused to give them q room. Hus-
band demanded an explanation, and the
blunt old landlord gave it to him by relat-
ing history Of his wife's career in Cory
don. After this the husband was not anx-
ious for a room, but took the next convey
ance out Of Corydon, leaving that village
and his wife behind. Since then he has
not been heard from in Corydon. The
wife, finding herself abandoned by her hus-
band, again gave way to the tempter, and
is now heart broken, degraded woman.
We have given no names, and have only
related the story as told to us by gentle
man who claims to know that it is true.

The Registration.

The Registers for this Parish com.
menced operations on Saturday an(
have been vigorously at work evel
since. Their "private instructions
which are much more vigorously adj
hered to than the letter of the law,
have had the effect of excluding from
registration many who are entitled to
the privilege, but We are assured that
all these errors will be rectified OH the
reception of the opinion of the Attor-
ney General, which is daily expected.
Although the Registers worked faith
fully all day Saturday, even extending
their labors several hours beyond their
prescribed time, only about sixty-five
were registered on that day. At that
rate it will be impossible to register all
the voters in the Parish within sixty
days as required by General Sheridan's
order. But the time will doubtless be
extended, and an opportunity afforded
every one to register who desires to do
so. We would urge on all about whose
right to register there can be no doubt,
TO come forward at once and have their
names registered. There should be no
intermission in the labors of the regis
tiers for want of names to register.

A RADICAL BULL.-In the circular
addressed by the chairman of the N. 0.
Radical Central Committee to the 10y
alists in the country is the following
paragraph: ave have reason to fear
that our communication may be inter-
cepted by disloyal postmasters. If this
occurs inform lis Immediately that we
may ask and doubtless receive the
prompt intervention of the military au-
thorities." The Radical Chairman must
be an Irishman, and if he only had an
Irish name the presumption would be
sufficient to induce the Registers to call
for his naturalization papers. We sup
pose that the loyalists who don't get
their intercepted letters will of course
follow the advice contained in them.

A New and Grand Epochin Medicine,

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of new
Medical System! The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with box or so of his
wonderful and all healing Isalve. These
two great specifics Of the Doctor are fast
superceding all the stereotyped nostrums Of
the day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel's
Pills and Salve have opened the eyes of
the public to the inehiciency of the $50
called remedies Of others, and upon which
people have SO long blindly depended
Maggiel's Pills are not of the class that are
swallowed by the dozen, and of which eve
ry box full taken creates an absolute ne
Fcessity for another. One or two of Mag
gels Pills suffice to place the bowels in
perfect order, tone the stomach, create
an appetite and render the spirit light and
buoyant! There is no gripping, and no
reaction in the form of constipation. If
the liver is effected, its functions are re-
stored; and if the nervous system is feeble,
it is invigorated. This last quality makes
the medicines very desirable for the wants
Of delicate females. Ulcerous and eruptive
diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power of Maggiel's Salve. In
fact, it is here announced that MAeerEL's
BILIOUS, DysPEPrIc AND D1ARRHEA PILLS
