ADVICE To THE Colonel PEOPLE. l,avo
bcos informed that there certain evil disposed
mon in the community who have taken advantage
OF tho ignorance and simplicity OF Tho negroes
and have levied black mail upon them by stating
that they must pay for Tic privilege of voting.
This demand has been usually complied with, .s
tho parties knew whom they could tlupc but their
actions havo been exposed and measures will be
taken to prevent a repetition Of this fraud. Tho
Registrars should not hesitate 10 aak the qllcton
II they believe tllat tho applicant has brcn ta,npcr-
ol with. an instance Of This description occurred

MEETING OF THE CounT OF CIA1Ms.-TnE
CASE OF CARMALr UNDER CoSsInERATIoS.--Tho
Court Of Claims met in Washington OH Monday,
pursuant to adjournment. In accordance with
tho letter Of advice of Senator CowAN, the Soil
ciior of tho Court, under the Instructions Of tho
Secretary OF tho Treasury, moved for All appeal in
tho cotton cases lately adjulcated upon. Tho
Court refused emphaticaly. Judge PECK stating
that The refusal was made in accordance with tho
unanimous sentiment OF all tho members OF tho
Court. II is asserted that the Secretary of Tho
Treasury will, nevertheless, continue to refuse
payment of tho awards made by the Court in
which case Tho claim of CARMAIT, or Charleston,
will probably again become matter FOR the inter
change of diplomatic notes between Sir FREpERrcK
BRUCE and Secretary SEWARD 1he claim was re-
ferrod by the latter To tho Secretary Of the Treasli-
ry, who, under Tho advice Of Attorney General
SPEED, sent it to Tho Court of Claims. That Court
awarded tho claim to CAE,IALr, and nnw refused
motion Of appeal to tho Supreme Court.
REGISTRATION IN THE CITY.-1hc cllanga in tho
location Of the polls ycstorls had evidently somo
effect upon tho community, for n larger number
registered their names on this occasion than ON
any previous day. The majority or blacks was DC.
cnliarly noticeable, they outnutnberng tho whites
by 4 to l, particularly III tho Upper Wards wicro
the discrepancy was fearful. Al tho SiounwalI
Engine House tho desire to register was no strong
that n struggle took place between two Of Tho
crowd Tor the precedence, but they were slmmari-
iy elected mud lodged in The Guard House.
In tho diilerent Prcencts the RETURNS showed
thc following educational result: at the City iia
Ill colorcd mcn were unable TO writo their
names and were compelled to mako tlcir mark;
at tho Second Precinct, tho Palmetto Engin
House, there wcro only whites md IS blacks; aL
the Third Precinct, who and i2 black; at tho
Fourth Precinct, 3 white and 98 black. or tho
co!ornd mon who could write, il was noticeable
