and excluded from voting at the ensuing electioh.
Firstly. naturalized foreigners, who volunteereu
into the rebel army. Many of these men, no'
most, were technical volunteers only. In ORDER 70

liable to death and imprisonment-and ths'
think, was quasi compulsory service. VINO com-
PEELED them? Why tho very party (not persons
that is endeavoring now to exclude them from the
rights of citizenship; who furnished funds to
pay (?) them; to buy the implements OF war Ior
their use; who entertained the most prominent
rebel leaders, from President DAVIS downward 10
Brigadiers and Colonels, in their own houses anu
gave more aid and comfort to the enemy than Inc
arms Of whole regiments of foreigners cou1d.
These unfortunate men cannot lawfully be e1clud-
ed from registering, and they shall not be.
Secondly, There is class Of citizens, who, IN the
vcessitudes attendant on war and other ACCIDENT
al circumstances, have lost their citizen papers,
and thirdly, suc1 as have their Declaration OF In
tentions ready to be followed by the Certihcate OF
Citizenship. To these, OF course it is objected

them aliens, the clerks of the Courts OF Record
make the fees exclusive to the poor, and quite an
item to the better of. Custom and Statute In
other places make the fee for tho Declaration one
dollar for the Certificate, two dollars; here they
exact from five to fifteen dollars. Why? because
the old fogy aristocracy wish to exclude foreigners
from the polls.
Strange that the Radical captain, chairman OF
the Board of the 1st Precinct, nor the hard baked
abolition radicals Of the Sd, should discourage
you from registering, and the other two should
throw impediments in your way, and they only OF
lately constructed. But it has always happened
that the foreigners have been kept down mere.
Let me venture q guess at the reason OF the
present attempt. Let the foreign vote be thinned
down as much as possible, andthe colored citizens
humbugged, (they have thorough contempt Tor
the nigger understanding, and the same clique
will again be put into power, that have already
caused the ruin Of the City and State, and that
continue both in dilapidation; from which con-
summation good Lord deliver us J. M. NJ.
NATURALIzED FOREIGNERS AaAN.-Wehave been
requested to state, that naturahzed citizen was
refused permission to register at one OF the pre-
cincts in this city on Friday last, because he had
"done guard duty in Columbia" We have already
said everything on this subject that can be said,
and see no reason for repeating thai the Board Of
Registrars have no shadow Of authority for such
action. We mention the foregoing occurrence in
the hope Of inducing the authorities to issue def
mite instructions, that will secure compliance
with the law and at the same time SUCH degree of
uniformity, as in the execution Of law OF this
kind is highly disirable.
BARBECUE TO THE FREEDMEN IN HIGHLAND
D1srR1cr.-A large barbecue was given to the
freedmen in the vicinity Of Kingsyille, on last
Saturday. The tables were spread and the stand
erected near the Fork Church. About twelve hum
dred freedmen and fifty whites were in attendance.
hey were addressed by General SCOTT, Chaplain
FRENCH, G. NJ. Wiides, eolored, Captain RoBERT
ADAMS, and Nr. REUBEN ToMRses, The speak
ing consumed the major portion Of the morning,
but the pleasures Of the table soon commanded
the attention OF the assembly. As We propose
giving detailed account Of the proceedings in our
next issue, we will merely state that every thing
was done decenty and in order, to the full satis-
faction of all concerned and was perfect success.
o.
SpARrANBuRa FEMALE CoL1.EGR,-H will be seen
from our advertising columns that this formerly
highly successful female college has been reopened
under tho presidency Of Rev. DR.. CUMMINGS, for
many years in charge Of one OF the most prosper
ous female colleges in the South, at Asheville, N,
c. Many things can be said in favor Of the location
and school at spartansburg. Tho extremely low
prices OF board and tuition will highly complend it
to a large portion Of those having daughters to
send off to school, Board and tuition for half
collegiate year cost but $50 in currency At these
rates all Of our well doing planters can afford to
edncste their daughters.
