The Lynchburg Virginian thinks it is quite
likely that the Registration lists will not be re.
opened in this State Itsays that Williamson,
in his speech to the loyal league in Lynchburg,
a few weeks ago. said that he, and others, had
been in conference with the Reconstruction
Committee at Washington, and urged them to
have this feature OF the law changed, upon the
ground that all the colored people had register
ed and thousands of the whites had not. If
said he. repeating the argument hc had used
before the committee, ''the list be rc-opened
the white rebels will secure much larger ma
iority than they now have, and the defeat Of
the Constitution will be certain. i"
