4 DESPERATE RACE AFTER A DESPERATE

day night at about II O'Clock we were
startled by loud cries Of Catch him

Main street from Eighth, and made tracks

he'll tell you what he done. Yes, sab, he'll

obtain. Uncle Bob > was Justify called
for, and in few moments that individual

Things were beginning 10 look interesting,

silently and timidly on, and when Uncle

asking his liberator "See here, old

LOCAL MATTERS.

MEETING OF THE CITIZENS or JErEER-
son WARD.-A meeting of the citizens of
Jefferson Ward for the purpose Of consider
ing the Importance Of registering was held
| at Old Market Hall last evening. A large
number Of citizens of both colors were as
Sembled.
John NJ. Higgins, Esq, was called to the
chair, and Mr.. James P. Cowardin was re-
qucStcd to act as secretary.
The meeting having been called to order,
paper setting forth the great discrc-
pancics existing between the lists Of CO.
lored persons on the commissioners books
and those on the books Of registration was
read. The books of the commissioner Of
the revenue in Monroe Ward showed that
there were in that ward Of male persons
over twenty-one years OF age: whites,
1,G16 colored, 537: while the registra-
tion lists showed 1880 whites and 2,093
colorcd, being an excess OF ,55G OF CO.
lored voters more than there are in the
ward. Allowing even a sufficient addi-
ton to make up for errors which might
arise, there must have been wholesale
frauds in registering.
The paper closed with the following
resolutions
/. Resolued, That the Chair appoint q
committee to wait on the commanding
general and lay the above matters before
him for such remedy and correction as
may be proper.
9. RcSolrad, That we earnestly appeal to
all the white voters who are entitled to
register to como forward and do 50 without
further delay.
II. r. Daniel, Esq, arose, and addressed
/ the meeting in brief upon the Importance
Of registration, and pointed out in strong
terms the disastrous results that must fol-
I low failure on the part Of the people ci
! nEinIa TO ou tl~'r duty.
The vote was next taken on tie .,ze.,-,
tions offered, and they We're unanimously
carried.

called on, and responded III 4 spirited ap-
peal to the citiZens-thcse OF his own
nationality especially-to come forward
aud do their duty 10 the old Common
wealth.
