Radical Fraud I'm the Alabama Le-
gssIafure-The Registration Bill.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, October 3.-On Fri
day the House turned out Democratic
member and admitted a Republican mem
Der to his seat. The Republican was
elected from Jones county, and that county
being abolished, claimed the seat for
Fayette county, from which the Democrat
was sent. The committee reported that the
Democrat was elected by over 700 majority,
and that the contestant was not candi-
date against him at all.
The election bill is still under discus
sion.
Governor Smith will arrive tonight, and
will, it is thought, sign the registration bill
but, it is now thought, too late for the cleo
ton Of Presidential electors, as there is not
time to complete registration.
The cotton receipts here thus far this
season have been 5000 bales.

WAsHINGToN's SERVANT IN MILToN.-On
rI1day 1s--. LII -~e-c --L~.~ I-~1 WAS
frosted with age traded at the store OF
Messrs. Holder & Irwin. He said he was
eighty-nine years old last July. The clerk
asked him how he happened to know his
age so well Because" said he, ~ was
twenty-one years old the year Mars ,
George died" "What MARS George p"
questioned the clerk. "Mars George Wash
ington," replied the old negro. g When he
moved from Washington City to Mount Yer
non he gave me my choice to 90 long with
him or stay where l was. l concluded to
stay, and he sold me to a man named Mil
Ter. Miller broke, and was put on the
block and sold to Jerre Lea for $3.50. He
had hotel in this place near fifty years ago,
and was ostler at it." This old negro, of
chequered history, is now working on the
farm of Mr.. George Chandler, six miles
from this town.-Miton Chronicle.

The Concord q. H. Monitor publishes
the following letter from Charlottesville,
Va, and addressed to the Hon. J II. Ella
my church has nearly forsaken me,
though | have been one of its active
members thirty years. My Bible class
discharged me as its teacher, after teach
Ing ii more than twenty years. The
church choir thought my room better than
my company. The friends Of temperance
excluded me. They took my sign down
and destroyed it. Three men came to
ny house at midnight, and one of them
gave me notice TO leave the town in five
days or abide the consequences. No white
man buys anything from my store, though
many would, but they are afraid to be seen
to come into it; 80 that my business has
almost gone down. One Of the Conserva-
i've gentlemen Of our town, in making a
speech the other day, said al that 30 with
Thompson ought 20 be whipped out Of town.
Dr. Thomly, who came to this town since
the war from the North, bought property III
town, and has been improving II for some
time, and has spent considerable money
here, and by the time he gets through i'm
proving his purchase he will have spent
$4,000. He is very useful man in our
town, but he is called Yankee, and that
kills all. He was brutally assaulted y few
days ago on Main street by q rebel, and ii
il had not been that an officer Of the peace
was near, he would perhaps have come off
badly, for all the rebels around stood of,
and some remarked that he was carpet
Dagger lei him get good beating He
takes no part in politics, yet you might see
Oh his nice painted fence these words: DR..
!nomly, g damned Radical hell-cat.' Since
Ina; the Doctor has offered his property for
sale. If Seymour be elected, no Yankee
can live in Virginia"

Don PIATT ASKS:

pOS PIATT ASKS:
.oTol;nr Lees cold, shallow response to
...,,~ earnest letter, do you not think that
ir is weak man-too weak for such
task 2"
ho;nc weak man. In the held he was
,Inr cautious, and tenacious, but lacked
Wv Mental Qualities to provide for unfore
s ~. obstacles. In civil life he is without
~.o-;once and suffers from the same men
81 defe,ts that accompanied him in the
saI3 Rnt he is an honorable, heightened
..o,tInman and has, above all others, the
1--we and admiration Of .his people,"
q Rut what's the good Of that if, with
~ his mower, he permits Wade Hampton &
IN 10 lead the masses into trouble ?"
"Wade Hampton * Co. are not the lead
o-s They buster and roar, but the men
ortbc army, especially the young men, are
The real leaders; and if we want to effect
apv positively good result we must appeal
70 and use that class"
81 don't see any good in appealing to
them when the result Of that appeal is the
weak, washy, informal, patronizing re-
.poase such as Lee gives"
You don't know the man, Colonel. He
i m earnest, deep-feeling man, and loves
his country. While he was speaking to me
Of the condition of the South, and his hopes
and fears, tears came to his eyes,"
PITY he didn't put them in his letter
Don't Beauregard strike you as weak
man ?"
BY the side of Lee" said General
Rosecrans, certainly. Take him alone,
however, and he strikes you as quick,
ready, and incisiye-well, man of the
world, a good business character, smart,
active Frenchman. But with Lee he
dwindles. Lee says shut the door, and
Beauregard shuts the door"
alt will be long time before such men
control the turbulent passions Of the South,
and quiet down the deadly hate created by
long craftsmanship, and heated to white
heat by the late war"
There you mistake" responded the
General 1.-THE South has not gotthat deadly
hate YOU speak of. The South fought it out
"a the bitter end, and, like all good fighters,
extended its hate. But the South is being
tortured, worried, annoyed to the death by
designing legislation-l mean dishonest
lprlsl atlOD-alG luUst lu4dLiOu5 ohi pCt-
harrers and scalawags. 1t is like
horse annoyed by fies--he switches his
tail. and stamps and bites, and even kicks;
and We say the horse is vicious and must be
killed. What cursed blindness and folly"
Surprising Lee & Co. would lend help
ing hand, what can we do ?"
Undo oil this hasty, ill-advised, dis
honest LEGISLATION, Hand the States over to
themselves, only providing that the results
Of the war shall be recognized"
But" said !, "there's the rub. To
hand the States over to the people Of the
States you must include all the people, and
that takes in the negro. Now, Lee \ Co.
never will consent TO negroes voting"
"Lee will not, probably, but Beauregard
will. lie is in favor OF it, and so express
ed himself to me. A great majority of
those men favor it-provided the negro can
be prepared, BY education, to exercise the
privilege"

BosTON Boot AND SHOE MARKET.-The
boot and shoe trade is generally active.
Large lots are sold to southern buyers and
promptly paid for. The sales of the past
week will foot up about 100000. Manu-
facturers are Stacking up little, and the
stock now on hand in our market is fully
equal to the demand. There seems to be
an unusual demand for poor and medium
grades of goods, which are selling cheap,
and the speculation in shoddy has not
wholly abated, although the market ID
fairly active on orders, and an increase OF
sales is looked for early in October.-Ne'o-

LOOK TO YOUR DOLLAR NoTEs.-Peter-
sons Counterfeit Detector says: The whole
United States has been flooded with po-
litical circular, to which is attached o fac
Si1nile of the United States legal-tender one
dollar note. Seymour's likeness is in the
left upper corner instead of Chase's. We
give the following description: Instead of
Chase's likeness on the left-hand corner,
which the genuine dollargreenback contains,
this imitation bears the likeness of Seymour,
and has fac-simile signature of Treasurer
Spinner in its usual place at the bottom,
right-hand side. On the back it contains
promise to pay the bond-holders in green
backs, including fve-twenty bonds. 1t
would be advisable for every one to be care
full in taking one-dollar greenbacks. This
is nothing more than wood-cut; judges
can soon tell it from the fine engraving OF
United States notes.
Peterson is evidently Radical. We
have some of these so-called counterfeits.
They are printed on common printing pa
per, and are not calculated, nor were they
intended, to deceive anybody.
