DAVIS IN PRAYER MEETING. A Radical
exchange informs us that in Beecher's church
where pure politics and indebted religion are
regarded as Identical, at late prayer-meet-
ing the bailing Of Mr.. Davis was brought
forward as an appropriate illustration Of the
text, Forgive your enemies" Mr.. Beecher
showed to the satisfaction of all that Davis
was an enemy, and therefore, according to
the Scriptural injunction, a fit subject for
Christian forgiveness. He also asserted his
entire willingness to have placed his name
on the bail bond at any time within the year,
thus showing that he had not always felt it
to be his duty to forgive one whom our Radi-
cal exchange calls ''the representative trai-
tor" Mr.. Beecher also expressed his disbe-
lief Of the charge that Mr.. Davis had been
guilty Of ''the wholesale murder Of prison
ers by starvation. Exchange.

The Chicago Post (Radicar has caustic
review of the last letter of Thaddeus Stevens
on confscation. It-says ''the style is some
what truculent,'' and that the spirit of the
thing shows that Stevens would 'slead the
party very much as the slave driver was ac-
customed to lead the covering wretches
whom he drove to the cotton fields" We
are further informed that ''Stevens stands
alone without follower"

We suggest to challengers and registrars
in the country that they will have to be par
ticular or some Of our colored people under
q, through ignorance, may apply and regis
ter, while others who have registered in one
district, may apply and register in other dis
tricts, thinking it their duty to register,
wherever the books are opened. These things
should be attended to or trouble may ensue
therefrom. 1t is complained that it is diff
cult to get persons, conversant with the peo-
pie, to act as challengers. 1t is an all i'm
portant position, and respectable and reliable
persons, who know all the people in their
respective districts should, by all means, sit
with the registrars. IS g

The Registration of voters in the 1st and
I'd Districts in Staunton, and the 3rd, Mid
dlebrook, commenced on Saturday last, and
will be concluded on to morrow Saturday }
We are Informed by the Registrars that our
people are not presenting themselves prompt
ly for registration, and we take occasion to
say to them that they cannot register as vo-
tiers after the books in their respective Dis
tricts are closed the first time, for on the
opening of the books for the revisement of
the lists, only the names Of those alone will
be entered who can shoao that from sickness
or some unavoidable cause they we're pre-
vented from registering before. No one
who, in the first instance, voluntarily decli-
ned to register, can have his name inserted.
Remember this and go promptly and regis
ter. Let there be no laggards in this work.
1t is an imperative duty and all should re-
gister. A failure to register will spite only
yourself and your friends your enemies will
rejoice at it. Register !-REcIsTER !

but hope it is nothing bad. The phenomena presented
however is about this: On their way to conventions
