MAJOR BEN BERLEY PooRE, for many
years the able correspondent OF the Boston Jour.
'iaI and also q contributor to many other inau-
sntial journals in different parts Of the country,
left this city day or two since for his home in
Nswbury, Massachusetts. The Majors incss,ant
lSbors have somewhat impaired his health, but
We deem 1t our duty to deny, in this connection,
that the statement We have seen in some Of the
Western papers that he has been stricken stone
blind Is true. He has lost the sight OF one eye,
but 1t Is hoped and believed that BY rest and re-
taxation from constant labors with the pen he
may soon recover the use of that important or
gan, and the full functions Of sight. Newspaper
dom in Washington will greatly miss the genial
presence Of Major Poore, but the members Of the
fraternity here unite In wishing him . speedy
recovery Of his sight and certain II Is, they will
cordially welcome him back In Deoember to hi.

Discomfort.

1t seems the anti.republican party
known as Radicals" are becoming
alarmed at the figures on the Registration
lists. The freedmen do not foot up as
heavily as was expected, and the God
and morality" party, begin TO have well
grounded npprehensions of the result of
the coming election. We are a little
more generous in our mode Of account
ing for this falling off in the numbers of
blacks in Arkansas, than our Radical
neighbor or the commander of the sub
district During the war many hundred
negroes were taken from this State TO
Texas, out ofreach ofthe spoon.hunters
the war terminating in the liberation of
the negro, their masters did not, of
course, choose, 20 incur the expense Of
bringing them back TO their old homes.
They were left in Texas, and have made
new homes and new associations and
probably will never return to Arkansas
Again, train after train from various por.
tions Of this State carried negroes to the
negro heaven Of bliss, (Kansas) by the
hundreds. These for obvious reasons
have not, and will not, return They are
among people not so good as they, and
they perhaps 60 on the old saying, bet
ter be King among dogs than dog
among Kings" Thus the negro popu-
lation is not in the country. We do not
credit any of these Radical howls about
men preventing their hands from regis
tering. In some few instances, this mgy
be the case, but we don't believe one word
Of it. One Of the best men in our county
was charged by Rad with preventing his
negro-hireling from registering, and an
indictment was threatened-when the
truth is, the negro boy is not twenty one
and when asked by this gentleman to go
to the registering precinct, honestly re-
piled that he was not old enough. a
Rad would probably have insisted on his
going anyhow, as some were registered
here who had not attained the age of
twentyone.
