In the 9th District there were loss OF Is
white votes, and in the~7th and 10th Districts
there we're gain Of 81, over last years vote.
The increase in the white Fotc may be attrlb-
uted to the efforts of the antl-Johnson party
at Waterford, 10 secure q full turn out, and to
the increase at GuilIord, Of the white people
from the North, who have come IN since the
close of the war. The loss in Leesburg Is oW-
ing to the tact of some persons who actually
vote here, prefcrrlng to register In the MT.
Gilead District, rather than IN this and also
to the greater number Of DISTINGUISHED people
about Court House. The colored reglstra-
ton at Waterford has surprised many persons,
but am told by persons conversant With the
locality, that there are bur few negroes there
now. It was cOnsidere& the free negro settle
ment before the war. There are yet districts
to BIZ heard from under the programme OF
Gen. SohoGeld. OF these we have partial re-
turns from Gum Spring district, RIO. l, to
Thursday morning, when the registration stood
l53 whites, and 81 coloTed. The vote in 1866
was AT, This district has had all influx OF
Northern men to some extent, 1 should sup
pose the above figures indicated nearly the full
strength of that precinct. OF the whites
think about 900 We're Union men. and probably
are Radicals, and Col aympathlZed more or
less with the South Leaving out Cum
Spring the Radicals have probably q majority
of 100 but counting it in | calculate on ma
iority against them OF about 50. The regis'ra-
ton has been fairly and honestly conducted.
The weather tor seyera! days has been seasonal

the prospects are exceedingly favorable for q

adoption OF its advice, its tone and ap-

jot or little OF the predetermined plans and

General Schofeld, in his reply to the i0quiry
from Winchester relative to the Alexandria
Constitution distrancbisemeLt, cuts the Cor
dian knot at stroke. He says the Virginia
State government being illegal he does not
perceive how it could ever have disfranchised
anybody. This is blow between the eyes to
the perjury prosecutions but it goes much
beyond in It's consequences. What right has
on Illegal government to levy taxes, to en-
force DEGREES, TO implison and to hang?--

Song of the Floating Drift.

BY MRS. BETTE HUNTER.
in and out am floating away,
On the bosom of the stream;
The eddies toss me round in their play
Till living thing seem.
know not where | shall land at last,
Nor what my future shall be;
Perhaps the waves Tn riding 80 fast,
Will bear me out to the sea.
Palace and cot alike pass by,
heed neither rich nor poor
Onward, forever, like time fly,
Like time return nevermore.
Nothing to me the cty's vast throng,
And nothing the wildwood deep;
By them steadily glide along,
And onward my way keep.
Nothing to me the dreaded Unknown,
Nor the wearing mental care;
Nothing to me the struggle and moan
That the human heart-strings tear;
Nothing to me the dying of hope,
Nor the spirits yearning cry,
When it with waves of sorrow must cope,
And it walls despairngly.
Yet man like me is floating away,
Down the rushing stream of life
Passion and Folly make him their play
And whirl him on in their strife
Passing UNDECIDED the calls Of Grace
Until the deepening stream,
Warn him he's near the echoless space
Where time is by-gone dream.
He cannot cheat the billowy waves,
Fen moment of their prey;
They will not grant him the rest he Graves,
For the river cannot stay!
He knows not where he shall land at last,
Nor what his future shall be,
When the shaded shores of life he's past
And launched in Eternity!
