colorcd to 118 whites.
CARTERET CoUNTY-The Board for the
second precinct, closed its session at More.
head City, Carteret county, Saturday. Fifty
whites and sixty-four blacks registered.
A friend writing from Lumberton SAYS:
Many of the colored people did not
know when the registration would take
place at st. Paul's, as the notice was so short,
but they will make up for this when the
Board goes around again"
We entertain no doubt, however, that the
Registrars for Robson are disposed to do
their duty fully and impartialIy. Their la
bors are responsible and heavy. We take it
for granted they will afford ample opportu-
nifty to all to register. The time for this
work will extend to the first of October.
1t is to he regretted that the Rev. James
Sinclair could not serve on the Board for
Robson. He has the entire confidence of
the eolored people, and his well-known 10y
atty would have moved him to every step ne
cessary to ensure full registration. This
gentleman has been greatly villiied by trail
tors for his devotion to the Union, and his
to the rights and interests of the
colored people. But he will survive it all,
and will be all the more respected and es-
teemed by decent people on account of this
abuse and villifcation.
We learn from Col. J. B. Cook, President
Board of Registrars for Johnston County,
that the number registered at Smithfeld for
the two first days was ISL colored and 80
whites. We learn also that the second ses-
sion of the Board for the revision of the lists
IN Smitkield, will be held on the 9th and
