OED TIMES COME AGAIN.-On the 18th of
July a large number of freedmen were in town,
and it made one think of old times to see some of
them enjoying themselves by fddling and dane

ration oozed through their coats. The female
dancers stood it remarkably well, considering the
dust and heat and seemed to be pleased with the
dexterous performance of the new voters.

KISS HER FOR HER MOTHER.

"Let me kiss ner for her mother
The sweet Lucretia Ann
Let NE kiss her for her mother
Or any other man.
"Let me kiss her for somebody,
Anybody in the world,
With her hair so swee,ly auburn,
And so gloriously curled.
"Let me kiss her for her 'feller,'
And | do not care a red,
If he taps me on the smeller
With bis billy made of lead.
LET ne kiss her for her daddy
The pretty pouting elf
Or If that don't suit the family,
Let me kiss her for herself"

~ The returns of registration in many coun
ties in Virginia show that while the negroes
generally have registered. the whites have neg
lected refused to do so. thus giving the ascen-
dency to the colored vote. If those who are
entitled to register and vote. permit their stub
bornness and passions to deprive them of the
privilege, they will certainly have no right here
after to complain of negro rule The present
diic ultes must be settled and the States restored
to the Union. and if white people don't assist in
the matter. it will be done by the colored people
alone. White men who allow their stubbornness
to prevent them from voting will find out their
mistake when too late.
