It is nonsense, worse, fer white people
at the south 70 refuse to register where they
can register, because they consider the re
construction law oppressive. The majority
in congress has unlimited power, and vail
exercise it regardless of constitutional
checks. It has pronounced a policy, or plan,
and only by acceptance of its dictatlon can
the Union be even nominally restored. BY
following the one path opened to the south
by congress to gain any portion Of political
influence, the south may finally reach an al
titude to command that Justice, denied it by
party intrigue and usurpation at this time.-

to preference over his white brother in con.

PITT. KELLOGG AND THE NEW ORLEANS
CoLLEcToRSHIP.

A friend of ours, now in Washington,
writes US gossipy letter in regard to cur
rent news in that city, but as most of it has
already been published in our Geographic
dispatches, we omit all except the following
in regard to Pitt Kellogg, of Peoria
VIM. P. Kellogg, the present collector of
customs at New Orleans, will, undoubtedly,
be removed. The cabinet, with two excep-
tons, are in favor of his removal. Some
days ago the naval officer of the port of
New Orleans arrived, here and this morn
ing, he accidentally met Gen., H. n. Frisbie,
one of the persons making the charges
against Mr.. Kellogg, and, in the most I'M
provoked manner, assaulted General Fris-
bic, calling him id liar but the gen.
ersl resented the insult in a proper manner,
showing Mr.. Kellogg's Fighting friend" that
that is not the best way in which to promote
the interest of his corrupt MASTER" who at
present is endeavoring, i'll every possible
manner, to vindicate his "morl character"
in regard to the hundreds of thousands he is
charged with having appropriated from the
public funds. 1t is sincerely hoped, IN a
Tery large circle here, that Mr.. Kellogg may
speedily be removed and Gen. Frisbie APP:
pointed in his place. The general is a
good man for that position, and it will be of
great interest to all the states bordering on
the Mississippi river to have a first class
man as collector Of the port of New Orleans.
Very Respectfully Yours,

Certain parties in Canada, who are sup

that Col. Perry Windham, who commanded
a regiment in and about Washington, had at
one time agreed 10 deliver up the President
