The Jacobins of Washington City,
feeling sure of the colored vote, are
attempting to prevent the registration Of
three thousand white voters. The
hounds can only hope for victory over
the dead corpse of the white mans lib

siderable local excitement here over the
decision Of the District Supreme Court,
made yesterday, in an application for
the opening of the registry lists for the
registration of two or three thousand
white voters. The Court denied the
mandamus, on behalf Of single indi-
yidual in whose name il was brought,
and yet declared that every man quail
fed to vote, by act of Congsess, had a
right to be registered at any time before
the election. The Republicans claim
that the Registration Board are not com
PEELED to open the lists because the man

tives hold the reverse. The views Of the

SIGNIFICANT REUNION.

We tarn with a feeling of relief for
moment-it must, from necessity, be
only tor moment-from the stern and
rugged path of secular journalism, to one
that is strewn with beauties new Tor this
time, and alien to the general footstep'
That young, but great branch OF the
christian organization, the Cumberland
PRESBYTERIAN church OF the North and
the South, has been for more than a
week sitting in the form of General
Assembly in this city. Our engagements
have rendered it impossible for us to at
tend, but we learn that the most happy
accord, and the best christian fraternity
have presided over the discussion and
disposition of questions of the most SEN
sitive character. The North, West, East
and South, have been in council II
these sections, long estranged BY the
folly or wickedness Of politicians, have
had no communion for years, and if that
dread ordeal through which the church
has yaliantly engineered its way, may
be supposed to be passed, the Assembly
now honoring this city with its presence,
and mankind with its proceedings,
should be thanked for restoring to us
the hope that religious union will YET
dominate over the country.
Christian gentlemen from the North
have met an agreeable surprise in the
warm looks Of affection, the hearty
grasp of the hand and the hospitable
manner with which they have been
welcomed by the people Of the South.
They had, no doubt, been misled by the
political papers at home, and had reason
to anticipate a cold greeting and d.
vided council. There was one question
that divided alike the State and the
Church. 1t is settled forever. There is
ne more, there can be no more slavery
of the black race. The only danger now
is, of an enslayement of the white race.
This question will be adjusted in good
time, and there need be no sec
tional arrangement on that account
By a resolution adopted yesterday,
the General Assembly takes no cogni-
zance of the effete question of slavery.
It is well, for it is a dead issue, put to
rest by Beauregard's guns at Charleston.

ful, desolates the country, suggests an
ample field for tie endeavor of all
branches of the christian church.
We need all the influence the pulpit
can exert to crush the spirit that, having
once been drunken on blood, reels still
from the fumes of the long debauch.
We solemnly declare, as our firm and
Interchangeable belief, that church, or
branch of church, or az organization
of any kind called christian, which
clings to abstract doctrine, or tradition,
and allows that to stay the hand, or curb
the voice that should strike and de-
nounee the existing carnival Of crime, is
unworthy the confidence Of the people

FALSE REPORTS.

The Jacobins, who got up the Mobile
riot for party purposes, are sending lies
in reference to it all over the country.
1t is a remarkable fact that not a black
man was injured at the same, and only
one sway from it. A black boy, many
squares away, was found dead, but it is
said by good authority in Mobile, that
he was killed by Federal soldiers. Many
white men were injured. The negroes
were armed; the white men were not.
