Abiding to the political direction that
the colored voter may be made to assume,
If it should pass entirely under the con
troll Of few designing traitors and
urging, that as that class have been in
vested with the franchise, a division in its
political action would be wholesome,
the National InteIhgencer discourses
thus sensibly The lessons of history
teach in vain if we do not take alarm at
the prospect Of vas. body Of men, most
of whom are unprepared by the most
common test of intelligence to exercise
the right Of franchise, coming in and
controlling public policy over the heads
two or three times their number of white
men Property-holders, taxpayers, and
all substantial persons in society should
be profoundly agitated by even the most
remote prospect of an Oligarchical control
Of a few white demagogues, who use the
shoulders Of the blacks as the stepping
stones to place, power, and authority. What
atrocious scheme Of outrage in legislation
may not be effected by such parties, ii
they succeed in aims as high-reaehing as
the means to effect their object are notO-
riousIy culpable 2 Yet, if free born and
intelligent white men are willing to hum
BILE themselves in the dust and allow new
Aedged officials that have not their conf
dence, to trample upon their rights and
interests, it is certain that such neglect of
duty should it result disastrously, will
awake the condemnation, and not the
sympathy, of the citizens of other COM
munities. When the black race, under
white officers, are marshaled solid
against the mass of whites, shall the hat
ter yield to whatever fate may impend,
without making a manly effort in peace>
ful direction to protect and preserve
their rights2

WHO ARE ENTITLED To VOTE AN.
DER THE FORCE BILL..GENERAL
SHERIDAN's ORDER.

Gen. Sheridan issued an order on the
10th inst, appointing Registers in the
parish OF Orleans, under the force bill
Of Congress for the reconstruction of the
Southern States. He thus defines the
qualifications Of voters:
every male citizen of the United States
twenty-one years old and upward, of what
ever race, color or previous condition, who
has been resident in the State Of Louisiana
for one year, and parish Of Orleans for
three months previous 70 the date'at which
he presents himself for registration, and
who has not been disfranchised by act of
Congress or for felony at common law, shall,
after having taken and subscribed the oath
prescribed in the first section of the act
herein referred TO, be entitled TO be, and
shall be, registered as a legal voter in the
parish Of Orleans and State Of Louisiana.
Pending the decision of the Attorney
General OF the United States on the ques-
ton as to who are disfranchised by law,
Registers will give the most rigid interpre-
tation Of the law, and exclude from regis.
tratiOn every person about whose right to
vote there may be a doubt. Any person so
excluded, who may under the decision Of
the Attorney General, be entitled to vote,
shall be permitted TO register after that
decision is -eceived-due notice of which
will be given"
The following is the regulation to de,
tect frauds in the registration of voters
"Brevet Brigadier Gen. j. w. Forsyth,
Assistant Inspector General of the Fifth
Military District, is hereby directed to
superiniend the Boards Of Registration for
the parish of Orleans, 10 listen to and ad-
just, or refer to this Office, all just causes of
complaint. He is authorized to employ
such experts as may be necessary to detect
fraud in registration or election"
From all which il would appear that
General Sheridan himself, has some
doubts as to who are qualified to vote
under the law, and has asked the opinion
of the Attorney General of the United
States for a construction Of the law upon
