Kcgl.tr.tion of Foreigners.


1O The Editor Of he Daily Ne,cs:.
What can bc tho u,nltcrr 1t appears that n
persistent effort ia boing made TO exclude foreign
rrs from registering. Three clussos or theso
worthy citizens arc attempted to DO yiclimizod,
and excluded from voting, at tho ensuing election.
Firstly, naturalizcd Foreigners, who volunteered
into tho rebel army. Many OF tliese mon, IF not
most wcIo technical volunteers only In ortlor to
DO exempted from tho deadly trenches or Potcrs-
burg nnd such places, whero conscripts wcro son,,
they chose to vOluntoor into some CORPS in wlicl,
they could DO near their families, and DO Ioss
liable to death and imprsonmcnt-an this, 1
think, was quasi compulsory service. Who COM
prllcd thcm2 Why tho worry party (not persons)
that il cndeavuring HOW tn exclude them from tho
rights Of citizenship; who furnished funds to
pay ~ thcm; to buy tho implements Of war for
their use; who entertained the most prominent
rebel leaders, ffou President DAVIS downward to
Grsurliers and Colonies, in their own houses, and
gavo moro ai,l and comfort to the enemy than tho
arms Of Whole regiments of foreigners could.
rhcse unfortunate mon cannot lawfully bo exclut-
ct from registering, and they shall not DO.
Secondly, rhoro isa class Of ciizcns who, in tho
riccssLudes attendant on war an, othor accident
al circumstances, have lost their citizen papers,
AMI thirdly such as have their Declaration of In
tcntons ready TO bo followed by tho Certificate OF
Citizenship. To these OF courso il il objected
that they arc not citizens and in order to keep
them aliens, tho clorks Of tho Courts OF Record
mako tho fees exclusive to tho poor, and quito an
item to tho better %. Custom and Statute in
other places mako the foo for tho Declaration ono
dullnr, ior the Certificate, two dollnra hcro they
exact from tivc to fifteen DOLLARS WhyP bocn uso
tho old fugy aristocracy wish to exclude foreigners
from tho polls.
Strange that tho Radical captain, chairman OF
tho Board OF the LIST Precinct nor tho hnrd bakod
abolition radicals Of tho Sd. should discourage
YOU from registering, and tho other two should
throw impedments in your way, and they only OF
latoly constructed But it hns always happened
tlat the foreigners havo been kept down hero
Lot INC venture guess Mt tho reason of tho
present attempt. Let tho foreign yoto bo thnned
down as much possible, and tho colorcd citzons
humbnggcd, thoy'havo thorough contempt for
tho nigger Understandings, and tho samo clique
will again be put into powor, that havo already
caused tho ruin OF tho City aud State, and that
continue both in dilapidaton; from which con-
summation good Lord deliver us! J. MN.
NATUnALIzED FoREIuNEns AaAIN.-Woh have boon
requested to state, that naturalizcd citizon was
refused permission to register at ono Of the pro-
cinets i'll This city OIL Friday last, bocauso no had
uohC Sltalu uutS III SOluulDlu " nave Already
said everything on this subject TINT can DO anid,
and sec for repeating that tho Board OF
Registrars havo ITO shadow Of authority for such
action. Wo mention the foregoing occurrence in
the hopo Of inducing tho authorities to issue dof-
nito instructions, thAt will secure compliance
with tho law, md at tho samo time such degree of
uniformity, as in tho execution CT law OF this
kinl is highly disirable.

BARBECUE THE FREEDMEN IN RrcuLASp
DIsrnIcr.-A large barbecue was giyon to the
freedmen in tho vicinity OF Kingsyillo, OIL last
Saturday Tho tables wero spread and tho stand
erected near tho Fork Church About twelve hun
dred freedmen aud fifty whites werc in attendance
thcy wero addressed by General Scorr, Chaplain
FnEScn, q. NJ. Wilder, coIored Captain RoDEnT
ADAMS, and hIr. REUBEN ToMIIssoN. Tho speak
ing consumed the major portion OF tho morning,
but tho pleasures OF tho table soon commanded
tho attention of tho assembly. As We propose
giving detailed account OF tho proceedings in our
next issue, wc will merely stato that every thing
was done deccntly and in order, to tho full sntis-
faction Of all concerned, and WAS perfect success
SPAnTaSBuRa FEMALE CoLLEoE.-It will DO soon
from advertising columns that this formerly
highly successful female college haa been rooponod
undor tho presidency Of Rev. DR.. CUMMINGS, for
many years in clnrgo of one Of tho most prosper
ous female colleges in tho South, at Asbevlo, N
G. Many things be said in favor OF tho location
md school at Spartansburg. The cxtrcmoly low
prices OF boarl and tuition will highly complcnd it
to q largo portion of those having daughters TO
send OF to school. Board and tuition for hnlf
collegiate year cost but 800 in currency Al these
rates all of our we'll doing planters can afford to
cducato their daughters.
