a%The Houston Telegraph, of July IF, informs its readers that one Col. O'Connell, (his name should blush for him. few days previously, had issued an order commanding Capt. Christian. of the steamer Whitelaw, to provide first class accommodations on his boat for Shade Crome, a negro regis trar, on his way to Lynchburg, Texas, on duty. Capt. Christian was wiling to furnish the colored official with com fortable accommodations, but refused to put him in the company of and on an equality with his white passengers in the state room and at the table. The refusal caused the captain to be ordered before the doughty retainer of Philip D Orleans. When there, he demonstrated against the injury carry ing out the order would cause him. but the remonstrance was followed by i.av- ing guard sent on board to post up the order on the boat, and see that its provisions were complied with. Shade Crome, negro as he was, turned out to be more of gentleman than the off, cious colonel, and so promptly refused to thrust himself where he was not wanted, or 10 go to the supper table with the passengers, although urged by the guard to do so.

THE DUTY OF REGISTERING.

We have before urged upon Conserva-
tive voters the importance of obtaining
certificates Of registration The duty is
imperative upon every one, Of whatever
age or condition, who falls within the
provisions of the law. The neglect or re-
fusal to qualify and vote is wholly mex
cusable-nay in its far-reaching conse-
quences it is more, it is a crime against
the race, it is a reputation Of the just
claim which posterity has on every good
man, it is infdelity to the obligations of
citizenship. We can well appreciate the
repugnance felt to the ordeal of the
partisan inquisition which they are made
to undergo. 1t is Illuminating and often
siye to the manly instincts of freemen to
submit to such exactiOns, accompanied,
as it doubtless will be, at many points,
with the insolence of Office" but
the State must be delivered, and
it is better to endure for a time
these things, than to fold our hands
in passive submission, and permit
the ferocious tyranny of Brownlowism to
fasten itself upon us for another two
years, and forge the letters of an indefi
nits bondage The chivalric and inVinci-
bic leader of the Conservative party is in
the field dealing titanic blows All over
the State, for every position to be filled in
the August election, good and true men
are being named as candidates, and en-
tering upon the canvass with zeal and
ardor No matter with what efficiency
they may work, their labor will be fruit
less, if by the Indifference of prominent
men in each community the mass of Con-
sentative voters should fail to be stimu~
lated to qualify themselves for voting.
1t should be done promptly; and every
man should see that his friends do like
wise, and assist them by every legiti-
mate means in asserting their rights before
the commissioners The men of educa-
ton, property and influence, whether they
be enfranchised or not, should spare
neither time nor expense in extending
every proper sacility to their poorer neigh
bors. The interests involved in this
struggle transcend in Importance any
mere political contest that any of us have
ever seen. All that is attractive in civil
or political liberty, ali that is valuable in
government designed to give protection to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
is bound up in it To suffer the preset
misrule to continue through apathy, de-
spondency, or an aversion to contact with
the odious system by which it seeks to
sustain itself, will infict not only an in
delible stigma upon the State, but CON-
plete the ruin of its material interests,
and leave its native people as bankrupt
in honest fame as they viii be in ability TO
meet the mountain Of debt which ia beisg
piled on them

ETHERIDGE AND STOKES AT MEM
PHTS


The meeting Of these gentlemen in
Memphis is not less interesting than
gratifying to the Conservatives. The
facts are that Etheridge, having an ap.
pointment to speak in Memphis on FRI
day, 18th inst, Col Stokes posted off to
that city to demand a right to reply to
him. Nothing could be more agreeable
to Mr. Etheridge Hemade his speech
Stokes replied without limit of time-and
Etheridge rejoined The report of this
we gave yesterday. The result was so
overwhelming against Stokes, that he de-
manded further hearing. This was ac-
corded promptly, and Saturday night
agreed upon as the time Etheridge was
Ill., and reached the place sometime after
Stokes opened The result of this bout

Etheridge gave him a defeat, on Saturday

During Etheridge's speech, Stokes him

doomed bird, the destinations of his adj
yersary were so great as to draw him back
to become the voluntary witness Of his
own destruction At length, becoming
frantic with pain under the torture he re
ceiyed, he abruptly demanded whether
Etheridge would divide time with him
through the State Etheridge promptly
replied, yes, and would give him bonus
