WHAT Is IN A NAME 2-We are induced to mako
this inquiry from circumstance that occurred at
ono OF tho precincts, which, though trivial in
'tse, might DO productive of disagroeable results
II has been common throughout the South for
negro to liaye como fancy name. These were llsu-

duced upon every plantation This modo Of
christening is familiar to al! who havo eyer yeitnl
o plantation in nlo oIden timo, and was ap-
proved OF by tho ucgroos themselves, rs it
was their ambition TO possosB q high-sonnd-
ing cognomGn. Indeed whom loft to their
resources, they carried TO this to ridiculous
e1tcnt, and their namcs legonorated from soIoNs
and CIcERos TO all unmeanng collection Of words.
Many will remember Gegro who was tried nt the
Inst term OF tho District Court who reioiced in
tho singular nams of Poor Boy Happy. This was
evidently not tho choice Of his former nwnor, but
awarded him in consequence OF some important
epoch in his fo. But this name, though singular,
is not without its parallel and reference TO the
police records would show many equally incon-
gruous. This habit Of using their "so-calotl'
nicknames has attracted tho attention Of the chair
man in The Third Precinct, and ho has instructed
his colorod applicants to change thor old names
for somothing approIimating 10 civilization, thus
.Jackoy becomes john; Jimmy, James; Juno, Ju-
MUS; March, .Marct Re. Those changes would
answer lhoir owilors admirably, IL thoy could bo
induced to remember them, and apprc-
ciato tho kind motives that led 10 this
involuntary rechristening. Jackoy is iogis.
tered az Johu, il ho votes Jackey ho is liable Ia
DO challenged and his privilege as q citizen annli

ono moment give mp tho name ho has always bocr
identified by to please tho whm Of o comparative
stranger, and complications may enHuo that might
chcck his political caroor. A rose by any othcl
namo Is Haid to smell swoot and tho samo 70
mark is, perhaps, applicable to many Of our oiti
zens Of African descent, old plantation hands; bu
tho rose would Ioso Its identity and Jaoko,
would degonoraiounder tho new cognomon. At til,
present wo think any change Of this description
unwisa, as many Of tho negroes are too isnoran
to understand tho roason for tho alteration, and
would only confuse and annoy thom without pro
ducing any good result

tho number OF registered whitos is p,nch larger
than for some time past, and Two Of the precincts

may expect to SEQ the number OF white voters
largely increased, ma many preferred postponemont
rather than loose several hours while waiting ther

Importance OF prompt registration upon our white
citizens. It is duty thoy owe to themselves and
to their country, and wo trust that they will no
longer procrastinate.
There aro now no barriers in tho way, as tho
