AMERICAN PRIzEs.-In the official list OF awards
to Americans in the great Exhibition at Paris, as
brought BY the Atlantic Telegraph, the firm OF Il.
l. G. A. WRIGHT is mentioned as 'WRIaHT q 70.
We consider it due to this enterprising MIN TO
have this error corrected. Messrs. r. Z; A.
| WRIGHT contributed to the Exposition samples OF
their delightful and wel-known perfumerles and
toilet soaps, which have certainly shown their
superiority by gaining prize in 'the land OF per-
fumes" We most heartily congratulate the Messrs.
WR1eHT on their success, particularly as II WAS
achieved without any other influence but the good
quality and splendid display Of their manufactures.
The Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia Home
Weekly, in his letter of June II, to that paper,
i fo11o in,
display 81 didn't do justice in my last letter to
Messrs. WRIaHr's display of perfumery
the case stands at the corner OF court, and ls
visible on every side it is one Of the handsomest
displays in the American Exhibition"
The above perfumeries can be had at DR.. j. R.

| REGISTRATION IN THE CTTY.-One OF the pre-
liminary steps in the work Of reconstruction was
| commenced yesterday in this city. At 10 A. III.
the registration precincts were thrown open to the
great unwashed and unterrifed. At first few per-
sons we're induced, by curiosity, to take look at
the registrars, but finding that they were OF o
calm and placid demeanor, they reported the facts,
and the entrance was soon surrounded by ON eager
crowd. Outside of this circle little interest was
manifested in the subject, and the day passed
without eny disturbance, thanks to Order 32 which
prevented many libations to the god OF the ballot
box.
The Registrars were assigned the same positions
usually filed by managers of an election, and but
for the dark cloud that surrounded them, might
have been mistaken for those funchonaries. Some
anxiety was expressed by few irrepressble spirits
to have their names the first on the list, and
when that was accomplished, on the principle that
they should not be wcaryof well doing, they re-
mained in the vicinity, and urged their more re-
| luctant brethren to emulate their glorious ex-
ample. These strivings for fame were conducted
quietly, and the aspirants were accommodated on
the strict principle Of ''first come first served"
By far the larger number Of the applicants were
colored, although here and there could be seen
white face in the surging crowd that appeared like
the fretted foam on dark sea.
This neglect on the part of the whites was evi-
IDENTIFY owing, not to any Indifference, but having
enjoyed tho privilege of voting heretofore, they
were not so eager to take time by the fo,olock as
| the colored populstion, and preferred waiting
until the rush was over. Many who did not intend
registering, but were mere 'lookers On in Vienna"
took positions where they could hear the proceed
| ings and observe the actions OF the newly made
voters. Some of these were sufficiently amusing
| to excite the risibiities, but the Precinct was
sacred guarded by apoliceman and shadowed by
the Bird Of Freedom, and the spectator had either
to indulge in silent smile, or to control his guf-
flaws.
THE CITY HALL
Was occupied by tho Registrars Of the First Pre-
cinct, the Court enclosure being assigned to that
august tribunal, while tho OF polio, stood in ser
ried ranks outside of the railing and patiently
awaited their turn. During the ceremony OF ques-
tionng the applicant and administering the oath,
strict silence was preserved; but when the diplo-
ma was presented, and the graduate retired
suppressed murmur Of admiration was heard, and
the newly aedged voter walked with his head more
erect, and shifted the air exultingly while he fin
gered tho paper that proclaimed him o legalized
citizen, irrespective of his color The crowd that
attended this Precinct was quiet and orderly, and
| though mostly colorsd there we're few plain per-
sons present, but these we're completely in the
shade, and were apparently present merely as OBJ
servers. This Precinct was under the management
of DR.. A. L. HAMMOND, N. G. PARKER and Joseph
Quash.
THE MARKET HALL
Was the head centre of the Second Precinct and was
presided over by DR.. EDwp. c. KEcKELEY, PHILLIP
AUSTIN, and A. J. RANsIER. A table, protected by
a railing, had been placed in the .passageway,
and the applicants stood on the porch of the build
ing. But there were few loiterers present, as the
majority registering were men whose employments
demanded their attention. This precinct was re-
msrkable for being the only one which gave
white majority, proving that Ward had not lost
its prestige, but might again turn an election.
Among those who applied was colored man, half
witted and childish, his answers to the questions
were so ludicrous that he was rejected and is now
enrolled among the disfranchised.
TILE HOPE ENGINE HOUSE
Was the rallying point for those who lived in Ward
| 4, and was crowded at IN early hour by num-
