Register

It is strange that men will still delay
TO come forward and register their
names, when it must be obvious to all
that refusal to register is fraught
with such disastrous consequences to
the peace and prosperity Of the South
ern States. It is evident that the Rad
icals intend to throw the government
in the seeded States into the hands of
their friends, by the aid of the negro
vote, if it be possible to do so. 1t is
needless to depict the dire consequent
ces of such. result. Let Tennessee
and Missouri answer saddled as they
are for all time to come with Radical
rule, and that, too, partly because our
friends in those States pursued the pol
icy which some Of them in the other
States are pursuing now. An idea
seems to have seized hold on the peo-
pie, that action would be fruitless, and
that, therefore, they should remain in a
state Of inaction and Indifference. Now,
this is all wrong. 1t is wrong to give
up SO easily even, if the case were a
hopeless one. But it is not by any
means hopeless. Already we can see
signs Of a reaction, The great rush of
negro voters to the registry, led by
their Radical advisers, is fast falling
away, and white men are beginning to
get their rights by the exhaustion of
colored material to work on. In New
Orleans the daily registry Of whites
vastly outnumbers that of the blacks.
most Of the blacks having already reg
istered. When the opinion Of the At
torney General the provisions Of which
have been fareshadowed, shall have
been received,a new impetus will be |
given to the white registry, and in time
the proper proportion in the city will
be attained, viz. about three whites to
every colored. We see it stated that
the registry will be kept open until ev-
cry one shall have an opportunity toll
register his name. After a fair regis
try we do not believe that the Radicals
can carry the State. Bnt in order to
secure a Conservative victory it is alb
solutely necessary that every true citi-
zen should set to work in earnest to
bring about such a desirable CONSUME
nation. And the first step is to go at
once and register your name. g '7..

Hugely Sublime and Grand.

The Rapides correspondent of the
Mongsel organ DC New Orleans, who
has chosen the same saoas do PLANE as
that tof the Infamous Fofney, among
other things gets of the following:
Each man Immediately mounted his
horse, and then I witnessed a scene
that gives the lie to rebel statements
that the freedmen cannot be controlled,
this youth riding at the head of a troop
of some fifteen freedmen, voluntary
prisoners on their way to trial for al
legged high crimes, and thus heTode in
the dead of night through woods and
dismal swamps distance Of over thir-
ty miles. oh, Southern ehivaEists,

GA Radical correspondent of the
N. o. Republican writing from Ra-
pides, attempts to give the readers Of
that sable journal an account of the re-
cent negro disturbances on Bayou
Boeuff, in this "anarehicaf PARISH
AS matter Of course all the white men
ARE to blame in the matter, and all the
negroes, with their Radical advisers,
are the subjects Of the grossest rebel
outrages. For the satisfaction of the
aforesaid readers we will inform them
that the correspondence fears of his
friends being swallowed alive after fall
ing into the hands of such an ogre as
Judge Lewis, "a disfanchised REBEL
do not seem to have been realised up
to the present writing. The prisoners
after being arrested were not forthwith
consigned TO- E'another Libby but
were permitted to remain the guests Of
"their only friend connected with the
Freedmen's Bureau" until they were
brought before the Court. As soon as
the case came up Judge Lewis quashed
the Information, contrary to the opin-
ion Of every member of the Bar, and
then bailed the prisoners in bond of
about seven dollars apiece to appear at
the next term Of the Court. Ifany diff
ference is shown prisoners in our Court,
on account Of color, it would seem that
the greater leniency is shown those
who happen to be colored. - 90
