most sober consideration; aud the first OF these is
unity Of action and thorough and rigid registration
Of every qualified voter of our race. Let the more
intelligent among that it is done, because they
will be likely to receive the benefits aceruing there
from. In every parish in every district and precinct
let form ourselves into clubs let the intelligent IN
struct the ignorant on the issues of the day. let the
great principles of equal rights unwaverlng loyalty
and universal suffrage be discussed until they shall
echo like reverberating thunders along the banks OF
the Red River and the sandy shores OF the great
Father of Waters There will be great odds brought
against us; moneF, influence and threats will be OF
fered US; but must stand firmly, remembering two
hundred and fifty years of cruel oppresson the sepa-
ration of fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers,
relations and friends and the cod-blooded murders OF
our brethren, whose distress and agony load every
breeze and fill mankind with horror.
Let our answer to those who would brbe US be,
" Fort Pillow, Andersonyille and Libby prisons! "
Let the ballot finish the work nobly begun by the
musket. Let stand by Congress in all things they
have earned our lasting gratitude BY their recent laws
they have shown disposition to reward loyalty
wherever found, and to have fellowship with those
who raise their punv arms to strike down this Gov
ernmcnt. The members of the 39th Congress have
fixed their in history the second Fathers OF
this republic, and will go down to future generations
as the first pioneers of true republican liberty
In the great campaign before us, let us show Wis
dom and moderation let us try and make our enc
mics our friends and act always the defensive prn
cipes. This beautiful country, sleeping beneath the
mild rays of warm sun, and blessed with so many
sources Of wealth, must soon yield its slumberng
treasures under the regime OF freedom and by the
strong arms of regenerated freemen. Onward then
and upward-unitedy. quietly, reantly; for "Me

which we clip from the Times of the 10th, shows that
the registrars very particular in Interpreting the
bill:
The registration of voters yesterday did not pro-
ceed in q the DISTRICTS at Least, satisfactorily
as might have been desired As feared, the large
discretion left in the hands Of the registrars, and the
action to which has given rise, have created very
general feeling Of dissatisfaction among our people.
Unless the adopted by the registering officers
has been sadly nirepresened, they have carried into
the performance OF grave and public duty their
partisan pre- udices an many of their decisions
manifestly illegal that unless revised and reeonsidered
they will amount to practical denial Of justice to the
great of the white citizens of louisiana On the
text of the law by which certain of our people are
DISTINGUISHED we have already commented and have
also given the opinions Of eminent ursts the sub
ject. But the reg Strars have adopted ~ it would
seem, far more rigid interpretation and reflections
were made by them yesterday which think will be
pronounced by all sound thinkers illegal and un just.
Instead of constituting such doubts as may arise in IA
ror of liberty and personal freedom, they have fol-
lowed opposite course, and have been led into
rors which are glarngly erroneous. Armed with con-
vcnient doubts they reject the claims of citizens
whose right to vote cannot be questioned any legal
moral or constitutional grounds. In view of these
facts trust that Gen Sheridan will exercise por-
ton of that authority with which he is lcgitimaely
vested so to existing and well founded
causes Of dissatisfaction Unless such a course be
pursued the fantastic tricks of irresponsible agents
may serve to tarnish high military reputation and
check that spirit of returning loyalty among PEG
pie which every true patriot and statesman should
encourage If the object be to restore harmony, the
registry laws hould be literally interpreted but if it be
simply secure party triumph by the dsfranchise-
of the great of white citizens the ex-
elusive course inausuraed yesterday will prove emf
nently successful.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DEcIsIoN-Gold not Money bast
NerchandiSe.-In the Supreme Court of New York,
Mr.. Justice Sutherland has decided important ques
ton between currency and gold The issue turned on
an agreement made to pay certain sum eat time
when gold was the ruling currency. The sum was
rendered, but in legal tenders hence the litigation
Mr. Justice Sutherland holds that an agreement, to pay
in gold cannot be legally enforced, though, treating
gold as commodity contract for its purchase or
sale is perfectly safe and proper He declares that the
result of the Legal Tender act is that gold has pract-
caly ceased to be currency, and become exclusively
commodity. The decision appears to be Identical in
principle with one recently delivered by the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts, by which. upon contract for
the payment Of specified in god tender of the
amount il oreenhacks was held GOOD.
