July LIST, 1867. I
Editor Dallas Herald The time is rap.
idly approaching when all Of us who can
ana riH, must register our names as voters
In our vicinity, hear great many farm.
ers talking carelessly about II, aud hot a
few who will not register OF all, "becausc,
they say, ''ihere IL no good 10 come Of II.
The reason Of this apathy Is that the pco.
Pile do not see the Importance Of IL, and un-
less they do, many good men will DO lost as
voters. Ii your paper Of the Goth ult., was
very good article on registering il
was not explicit enough. What tho people
want to understand Is, "the benefit they
will receive by the privilege of the ballot :
or what injury they will sustain by inac-
tion >" When they do understand and feel
the importance Of il, think and know,
that all will march squarcly up and regis
ter. Therefore, l ask you, by request OF
some Of my neigbbors, for an article in the
Herald, explaining these things.
Very rcsply your friend,
j. W. MURRAY.
N. D.-A good rain fell last night and
this morning. The farmers now talk OF
fifty bushels Of corn per acre; j. W. M.
The above communication breathcs a
proper spirit and shows that the writer is
fully alive to the Importance Of action on
the part of those who do not desire to see
the State passquietly into tho hands Of tho
Radicals. We had supposed that the rea-
sons for registering were SO many and so
plain that no one could fail to see its i'm
portance, but it seems we were mistaken.
We would say, therefore, in all earnestness
to those who have been hesitating, to hest
tate no longer-to refuse to register, is to
give over the State to the tender pr}%sa,ies Of
mon, who will labor to marguerite a sys-
tenn Of prescription and disfranchisement
such as Brownlow and his myrmidons are
now enforcing in Tennessee by negro mi
litia.
It is the duty Of every good citizen who
oan register to do SO, and not wait until we
are bound hand and foot before offering
resistance to the infamous combination
now being formed all over the State, to
carry out and enforce the views Of the ex-
treme radicals in Congress.
Remember that delegates 10 d Conven.
ton are 10 be elected, your State Constita-
ton IL TO vc remodsled and amended, and
you cannot fail TO see the vast Importance
Of registering, and thus secure the election
Of such delegates as you can confde in
Fail to register, and the evils that may,
nay will result will be terrible, better to
prevent than to spend years Of rsgret and
fruitlcss struggle in attempts to get rid of
the evils and disabilities that will certain
ly be imposed upon you. For these and a
thousand other reasons which must be clear
TO all, we earnestly advise those Of our cit
zens who are not already disfranchised to
take this matter under serious considera-
ton, and when an opportunity is offered,
go forward and register their names pre-
paratory To the struggle between peace hap
piness and prosperity, and degradation and
ruin under radical dominion.

A Pen PICTURE OF ANDREW JOHN
SOMA Washington correspondent
who saw Andrew Johnson q few
days ago writes of him |; Gle is
sued from the lower regions of the
White House unattended. Eschew-
ing the hard gravel of the avenues,
no took kindly to the turf. He in
spected the new music stand oppo-
site tho windows. Hc stopped to
watch the base ball club playing,
down in tho meadows; paused to
look at two tumbling boys rolling in
the grass, all white with pollen fuz.
He came leisurcly on, this man at
the head of the nation; and when
we met him face to face, at last, our
question was answered. Treasury
people, the man over yonder does
not look tired at all. orvanquish-
ed vetoes, norimpeachment commit
tees, nor belligerent Congress, nor
a Disguised people, have beon pow
erful enough to destroy this mans
satisfaction in himself. He did not
look burdened, nor weary, discom-
fitted, nor sick. His step was strong,
and confident, and slow; there
seemed to be no pressure of public
care, nor of official duty behind it.
A smilo frightened tho cloggod
lines of his face. UnharmoniOus
and passionate, in its happier mo-
ments it is not an unkind face, nor
one that is easy to believe to be
wholly untrue. And those who
know him we'll declare that though
preiudiced and obstinate the last de-
gree, Andrew johnson is not dis
honest. He was dressed like man
of leisure, with q scrupulous nicely,
itself sufficient to attract attention.
To me, his gaunt, grand predecessor
walked by his side. How different
in his uncouth costume from this
elegantly attired gentleman, gloved,
and his iron gray. hair rolled
smoothly under, walking placidly
on the green grass under the trees.

PAYMENTS TO CoNFEDERArE RECEIVERS.
Among the cases decided by Chief JUS
tice Chase, At Raleigh, was one brought in
by Pennsylvania firm against North
Carolina firm, for the payment Of note
given before the war. The defendants had
been compelled TO pay the note and interest
10 the rebel government during the war,
under the uestration set. They set up
the claim that while it existed the Confede-
rate government was q de facto governmem,
and that citizens Of those States which did
not recognize it's authority were aliens, and
in time Of war alien enemies; thai conse-
quently acts Of sequestration we're valid
acts, and therefore that payments TO Con-
federate agent Of debts due to such citizens,
il compelled by proceedings under those
acts, released the debtors from all obliga-
tons to the original creditors. The follow
ing is the conclusion Of the opinion deliv-
cred BY Chief Justice Chase in the case
awe hold therefore, that compulsory pay
ment under sequestration acts 10 rebel re-
ceiyers Of debt due plaintiffs from defend
ant was no discharge. IL is claimed, how
ever, that whatever may be the right Of the
plaintiffs TO recover the principal Of the
debt from the defendant they cannot re-
cover interest for the time during which
war prevented all Communication between
the States in which they respectively re-

Horace Greeley's manuscript is notorious

happens to write it in a hurry. The recent

VIM H Seward, which MIR. Greeley had re-
turned to him set up Richard ILL.," is fresh
in the minds of all, but an occurrence still
more funny is related, which happened in
the Tribune Office some years since
A compositor had made so many errors in
setting ''the philosophers" copy, that it lrri-
tated him to such degree that he wrote the
typo a letter, discharging him from further
duty. The compositor being utterly unable
to decipher the contents of the note on re-
| ceiving it, took it to the foreman, who ex
| planned to him that it expressed that he was
| mot careful man, and Mr.. Greeley dis.
| pensed with his services" The man laid
down his stick, put on his coat and left. The
/ next day he applied for a situation as assist
ant foreman in large job printing Office in
| the same street. The proprietor inquired il
| he could bring a Recommendation from his
| last employer.
| "All have is this letter from Mr.. Gree

| The worthy job printer scanned it fol
| some minutes with a perplexed air. "H-
| m-m-careful man-services--signe FL
| Greeley-yes, that win do; we will engage

two years afterwards, that the "letter from
