those acts provide that tie qualifications for
voters, to be prescribed by the State Consti-
tutiops to be adopted. must be the same as
those prescribed for the elections of this year
by the Congressional acts. 1t is evident,
however, that there is an extreme and rebcl
i3us Radical party, desirocs of disrcgarding
this Congressional restraint and resorting to
further dsfranchisement.
The Radical candidates in Dallas are D. B..
Good. j. Silshy, B. F. Safold, Alfred Strother
and Jordan Hatcher. The Times says of
them: "The first two Of these persons are
Northern adventurers who have been in Ala

edge goes, have no fixed interest here. The
third was in 1860 n Breckenridge Eector,

BUYlSG Up CONFEDERATE BoxDs.-The

Trustworthy news from New Orleans is re-
csived to the effect that it is learned that oro
Of the largest brokers of that city has purchas
ed>f265,000 of eight per cent. Conederate
bonds Of the issue of 1861, and 100000 Of
the issue Of 1863, to fill an order from the
North orsfrom Europe. The prices paid ara
not known. but it is thought that this is
par: Of the sum of million in. Confederate
eii hit per cents advertised for in the National
Tatelligencer OF a recent date. 1t might en-
sue that in the settlement ofthe Alabama aud
othe. claims between the United States and
the Governments Of Great Britain and France,
the two latter should take the ground which
ours has repeatedly assumed, viz: that tho
rebel!ious States were never out Of the Union,
and as corollary that the parent Govern
ment is responsible for the damages which
they have committed. The officers of the
bank here, advertising for these bonds, state
that request was made on them. by some
parties in Europe, for number of the notes,
which they wished merely for Curiosity.

"Now let US have il, said he, and Lis rcw

bottles they could obtain with thc mixture.
This done, a friend CT the partners went 10
al the groeers and backing merchants OF
London, and addressed TO each one the ques-
tion, Have You Day & Maylin's backing? p
And all the shopkecpers naturally CROUCH

The next day another friend went the
