Registration.

The late Autocrat of tho Carolinas, in the
last hours of his reign, devised and perfected
scheme which illustrates the force of the alagc,
''thc ruling passion strong in death" He
issued Circular letter of instruction to the
Boards of Registration in this State, in which
the Acts of Congress are distorted to mean,
ingIwhich even old Thad Stevens, Arch Radi-
eel that he is, would rcpudiate. Among other
remarkably bright ideas of this Daniel Of The
present, is the conclusion he has come to- that
paturalizcd citizens, who voluntarily, engaged
in tho rebellion, arc disfranchiscd. His argu-
mcnt must have been prepared under some
e.rtra-inpring circumstances 1t isl forciblc.
First, an alien becomes citizen by taking the
oath of allegiance. Secondly, n naturalizcd
citizen, if he engaged in the rebellion, violated
that oath Thirdly, by violating the oath, he
BEC.aMH AN ALIEN AGAIN.
lfthis were the casc, we would congratulate
our natilralzod friends. k We would. advise
themt to hold to their foreign allegiance as we
think they stand much better cl,ance as
British, or German, or French subjects, than
they do as unrcconstructcd rcbs'. in South
Carolina. But we suppose that this rule Of
Of the departed hero is one Of those bad rules,
that will not work both ways. We imagine,
that if a naturalzcd citizen, were put on trial
for treason, the RAIDS would hardly usc the

This distinguished Lieutenant
General Of the late rebel army, who
gayeus harder knocks and displayed
higher skill than any one ofthe rebel
leaders, with the bare exception per-
haps of Lee, and Jackson, has very
scnsibly concluded that he was whip
ped, aud that when Lee surrendered
at Appamattox, and johnson at
Greensboro, that the fighting was
over, and that the victors were emit
tied to the right of saying to the
vanquishc1 upon what terms they
might be restored to the Political and
civil rights they had justly forfeited
by going to war. til not so, how,
ever, with the politicians and non
combatants of the South. and their
allies the coprerhead politicians of
the North, and the abuse that Long

of these sangninary rebels and

These arc the eabalistic char
acters of a secret society organized
here by the leading fnglemen of the
Copperhead party in the whiskey in
terest. The l.. T.. are supposed to
stand for Liquor League, or Licens Q
League. or Locofoco League, as you
may like it.
We are informed that they Were
organized on last Thursday evening
ard that the organization numbers
already some ESQ societies or lodges
in the State.
We shall have more to say of this
concern hereafter. In the mean
time, il is hardly probable that any
man with sense enough to be any
thing but modern democrat, will
allow h ms If to be humbugged into
an organization of this kind, under
the lying rretence ofthe Copperheads
that the question of Liquor Laws or
prohibition, are any more in issue at
the approaching election, than Meth
odism, or who killed Cock Robin.

A. l did not reside in his family ;
! boarded in q hotel at Nashville,
Tenn But during the political cam
naign Of 1864 I accompanied him
from Nashville on his tour through
Indiana, and up to his return to Nash
vile. We got back November 10th.
| During that time I occupied the same
room with Governor Johnson, and
wrote his private dispatches and let
tiers. Browning. his Private Secre-
tary, was also with him, but most Of
the time was not able to do business
from illness.
Q.While at Nashville, did youknow

me.
Her intimacy with and calls upon
Gov. johnson were matters of CON-
mon notoriety and scandal in Nash
vile. Her son.in law afterwards re-
marked to me, that the old woman
could twist Andy johnson round her
finger just as she wanted.
G. What was this womans reputa-
ton for chastity in Nashville at the.
time?
A. She was known as woman
