THE WHITE AND THE BLACK VOTERS
IN WAsHlNGToN.-It is estimated that
there are over 1000 white voters in Wash
ington city whose names have not been
placed on the registration lists. In the
seventh ward, on Wednesday, GAO names
were registered, of which number 3S7
were white and 262 colored. The negroes
have a majority of several hundred in the
ward, but so far as the registration has
been completed, the whites have in the
city clear majority of 343. The registra-
ton will continue in the seventh ward for
two days yet, and it is expected that each
day the result will be favorable to the
whites, as the colored people put forth all
their strength on the first two days of the
registration.
The great bone Of contention in the
Radical ward meetings now is, whether il
is expedient to place one or more colored
men in nomination for ward offices. The
Republicans seem to be about equally di.
vided upon the question.

ANOTHER MANIAC LOOSE IN New Eng
LAND.-On Monday evening the audience
assembled at the Broadway Baptist church
in Cambridge were very much disturbed
by the freak of an insane man, who per-
sisted in leading the choir in singing. He
was expelled from the building, and feeling
himself put out, he commenced to swear
violently. He was then taken to the
second police station, and there seized a
billy, with which he proposed to murder
Captain Twist. He was finally put into a
cell, in which, yesterday morning, he tore
his clothing in pieces in fit of madness.
His mania seems to run mainly to religious
matters. He averred that he had tasted
for three years, during all of which time
he had been studying the Bible. In ra-
tional mood he gave his name as John
Augustus Greenough, but the place of his
residence has not been ascertained, al
though efforts are being made to do So

THE WHEAT CROP in oil this part of our
great Valley is looking most promising in
deed. We have never seen It looking bet
ter. The weather since the close Of win
ter has been exceedingly favorable for the
young wheat. 1t fairly smiles in the ex-
uberance Of Its life and beauty. What is
true Of the fields Of wheat in Rockingham
is equally true Of the wheat in Augusta,
Shenandoah, and, in fact, of all the Valley
counties. Surely we have great cause for
the indulgence Of gratitude to God for His
goodness to us as manifested in the cheer
ing prospects Of the coming harvest

Prom the New York journal of Commerce, May
Last night fire was discovered in the
packet ship Hib9nia. The fire originated
in the lower between decks, aft, and spread
rapidly. While the Iibernia's decks were
crowded with firemen directing the hume
rous streams, the ship gave lurch to star
board, and the cry was raised that she was
sinking. As the vessel lurched she tore
the Spite from the wharf, the hose were
drawn out of the iiremen's hands and fell
in the river, the gang-plank went over
board, and the wildost excitement prevail
ed both on ship and on shore. Lines were
thrown over the side, ladders raised, and
the police-boats pR out, 10 save the terri

in every conceivable manner. A number
were taken out of the river, and those who
were injured by the falling timber cared
for. In five minutes from that time the
interior Of the ship was writhing mass OF
FIRE. The smaller vessels in the slip were
towed out. and doubts being expressed
about the safety OF the ship Columbia,
moored astern of the llibernia, that vessel
was towed into the stream. Efforts were
made repeatedly 10 scuttle the burning
ship. but from some unknown cause she
would not sink. At 10 o'clock the vessel
was 50 far destroyed that the flames burst
through her upper deck, cabin windows,
and forecastle. The rigging, being nearly
all wire, prevented her masts from failing,
although they were burned of below DECKS
Ofiicer George Whitall was severely In

board when he did. William Dunlap Is

PREVENTION OF CRUELTY.--There is q
growing prevalence of humane sentiment
with reference to the treatment Of animals.
Among the laws of the last session of the
Pennsylvania Legislature is one incor-
porating society for "the prevention of
cruelty to animals" Institutions Of this
character are fast multiplying, which fact
is due in a great measure to the example
of the parent society of New York.
