ton on Wednesday evening was a deci~
ded success. A large audience had the
pleasure OF listening to one of the finest
musical performances the people of this
vicinity have had an opportunity to en-
joy. The presence of musicians of high
order in the community should be en-
couraged by those who love and appre.
ciate finely executed and high order Of
music like this one, and make an effort
TO educate the tastes Of the people to ap-
preciate such entertainments in distinc-
ton from those Of the lower order so
prevalent. The festival after the con.
cert was a happy occasion highly enioy-
ed by all who participated in it. Much

GEN. FITZPATRICK presents the remark.
able spectacle of a man holding two Offices
and wasting his life in fruitless efforts to re,
sign one Of them. When he went to Chill
eighteen months ago, in the capacity OF
Ministerto that Republic, he very proper
ly resigned his commission in the army
feeling that he had no right TO draw pay
for duties which he could not perform
His resignation vas not accepted. On the
contrary, fresh commissions were thrust in
TO his reluctant hands. He refused them
and again asked leave to resign but he is
still kept in the service If Gen. Kilpat-
rick prefers diplomacy to war, he has Ger.
tainly right to his choice, and Mr.. Stan

compel him to wear the epaulets when he

J. NJ EDMUNDS, President Of National
Council Of the Loyal League has issued a
Especial notice" in which he says:
" 1t being alleged that a traitor in Ten.

municated through the authorized agents

nate council will, by order of its President
adopt special local password, to be given
only to members who are known, or
vouched for as truly loyal men,
Mr. Edmunds will now have to go to

and in less than six months, that viii be
exposed Il is impossible for secret politi-
cal organizations to exist long in this
country, and it is a waste of time to frame
them. So long as the Grand Army Of the
Republic attended to the work Of aiding
destitute comrades and orphan children,
nobody sought its secrets or desired its
exposure; but the moment it began the
work Of partisan intrigue and became
the ayenging army described by the New
York Tribune, it was rightfully exposed.
Every other similar organization will
have its seeresy torn from it the moment
it treads upon the forbidden ground of
popular liberty. This had as well be un-
derstood now as at any time The fact Of
its secresy, and its attempts to bind men
with oaths is damnable, and whatever
may be its objects, it viii meet with
exposure and condemnation.

THE ItEGISTRATION IN DAVIDSON
COUNTY

AODN H
The registration in this county fairly
illustrates the iniquity of Radicallsm-
The registration of white voters has
scarcely reached one half the number
registered under previous laws. In 1863
when there were fewer legal white vO-
tiers in the country than there has been
at any time since-leaving out the army
employees and hangers.on-7the Press and
Times predicted that Mr. Carter, the Rad
ical candidate for Congress, would lead
his competitor, Gov Campbell, four
thousand votes in the county, There are
now probably not less than seven thou
sand white men in the county, who un'
der the old law would be entitled to vote
More than five thousand are excluded by
the oppressive intolerance and pro
scription Of Radicalism There never
have been more than five or six
hundred white Radical votes polled in
any election in the county Not
a twelfth part of the people who own the
property, do and direct the labor, pay the
taxes, control the capital, and give to the
community its character and intelligence,
and what commerce and prosperity 1t
has, approve Of the Radical despotism
There are hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of good and patriotic men in the
city and county who would be entitled
to vote under a Just and free interpreta-
ton of the law-but are summarily ex-
cluded by the UOrd of a set Of character
less hengers-on, who are called vouchers,
This ia wrong Of such magnitude, and,
perpetrated, without excuse, for so vile a
purpose, that it cannot and will not be
forgotten 1t cannot be obliterated from
the memories ola deeply outraged people.
In place Of these disfranchised people
these traitorous plotters against the pub
lie liberty, have substituted about four
thousand negro voters. We very much
doubt whether there are so many in the
county entitled to registration under the
law 1t is likely that numbers under age
have received certificates, and that fraud
ulent certificates besides have been issued
to swell the number. To cheat, deceive
and practically enslave this class oil
voters, the Radical wire-pullers have re
sorted to every base art and infamous
sentation--through the League
aud otherwise-to induce them to look
upon and treat the mass of white people
as their enemies A more atrocious out
rage was never perpetrated upon popular
rights in any free government on the face
of the living earth. The colored man who
expects to live and work and prosper in
this community should take warning
from these facts, and turn from his false
advisers and come out boldly for his own
people

asked and needed, yet we have no answer
from them and no access to the papers.
The important point now, stockholders,
is not whether Y. K. Stevenson and others
stole or spirited away" what we once had (;
but is what we have left in safe hands and
is our property and our interests properly
and economically managed.
In the absence of any light whatever,
upon the points above stated, and with no
probability of any opportunity being given
and candidiy believe a change necessary
That every effort has been made to get the
desired information, must by all be adj
mitted, and that those efforts have thus far
signally failed, no one doubts.
Withdraw from any further efforts in
this line, and in conclusion review the
record.
On first application for this examination,
Col. Bosom was set apart by Mr.. Burns,
more than week ago, to go into the ex-
animation. Capt. Anderson and myself
went to the depot at the hour appointed,
and were informed by Mr., Burns that it
was impossible to proceed, as Col. Bosom
was examining the accounts of the
Treasurer. We were, however, before we
left, assured by Mr.. Burns that Col. II. L..
Claiborne would go into the examination
with Capt. Anderson at o'clock next
morning. Punctual to time, we called on
Col. c., who for reasons givn to the pub
lie heretofore, declined the investigation
After waiting for hours on that day, we
were informed by Mr.. Burns that "we
must 1oat." We did, and have waited to
the present hour, and notwithstanding
every effort to get an investigation of the
particular operations of the road, have
been sent and referred, first from one man
to another, and finally to luicyers and men
only resort to lawyers when in difficulty.
With this statement for the consideration
of those most interested, l desire to drop
the subject 50 far as | am concerned (;
still hoping, however, that President
Burns will recognize the fact that he is
the servant of the stockholders, and
that they have an undoubted right to
demand an account of his stewardship, or
that of any other man holding his posi-
ton.
