Daih his brother Democrats had served the

That was the whole of it. He had no facts TO
give now he had unfortunately left them az
home He thought people ought to act IKE
gentlemen, and not ask him unpleasant ques'
tions. He did not propose to DO catecniSeu'
but next Tuesday he would tell all ne knew.
Finally he was fairly caught with pat
ouestion: Would the Mayor pretend 10 say
that when the Republicans had a three-fourtnS
majority they had ever failed, in every pre-
cinct and at every election in New ork' 70
give the Democrats half the Inspectors anu
Capvassers The Mayor was suddenly op-
nresscd with the loss of his memoranda
If he only had those he could answer, but lie
tboucbt that Board had sometimes appointed
tony ont ofhree! Itisfit that such idiocy should
he exhibited in defense of such vllainy. But
we exhort the Republicans to watch what pre-
tense is set up, next Tuesday, when the
confused Mayor shall have refreshed his
memory by reference to those missing mem

row TUESDAY, Oct. 49, in each Election Dis
trict of our State, to register the legal voters
residing in said district; and wegentreat every
good citizen to unite in making the list as full
and perfect as possible before the close of that
day. If every legal voter could be registered
tomorrow, it would be light task thereafter
to keep the names of "repeaters" and bogus
voters off the registry. Ask no questions about
any mans politics, but try to get the namo Of
every legal voter on the registry Of your
district tomorrow. Inquire-eOmpare notes
consult the poll-lst Of last Falls election-as-
certain who have since become of age or been
legally naturalized, and try to have every le-
gal voters name on the registry of yOur dis
trict when tho Board adjourns tomorrow
evening.
In districts which contain over four hundred
voters, aud in those only, the Board will sit the
merit day "Wednesday Oct. 14). If there be any
voter not on tho registry tomorrow night, let
his name be handed in, with due evidence Of
his right, and registered on Wednesday Try,
friends! to have your registry perfect this
,reek, so that there will be nothing to do but
keep it so thereafter. The list of the polling

THE HONR Is IT HHND.

Pennsylvanians your State has been rightly
called the Keystone. You do not now abso-
lutely hold up the rounded arch of our as
sured triumph we can win without
your aid. But you can give us greater
moral assistance; you can thrill us with
warmer inspiration; you can place upon the
remaining campaign the seal of more perfect
assurance than can any other OF our great
Commonwealth. The position, the strength,
the hour, are yours; need We exhort you to bc

Five years ago Abraham Lincoln, standing
on n spot, next to your Independence Hall, the
most sacred on Pennsylvania soil, uttered the
most memorable words-next to the Declaration
of Independcnce-tha wero ever breathed
upon Pennsylvania air. Let us call them up
as the most fitting with which to nerve you
for the new struggle in which you arc now
engaged:

Pennsylyanians! your political Gettysburg is
to be fought tomorrow You struggle with
open aud with secret foes, with invasions from
abroad aud with domestic violence, with frauds
stamped with the seal of Court OF justice,

man worthy to be called a son of Pennsylva

cause for which they gave the last full measure

The butchery of negroes at 0pelousas turns
out, by the admission of the Rebels themselves,
to have been even more gross and inexcusable
than our first accounts indicated. We print
elsewhere both the Republican and the Rebel
version. An editor, it seems, had spoken of u
display of Rebel spirit at political meeting.
BY way of showing that there was no Rebel
spirit, they cowhided him. The negroes gath
cred to protect him, and he trusting to the
laws for protection, asked them TO disperse.
The Rebels then took possession of the town.
sent around their patrols, disarmed the negroes.
and thencefOrward had things all their own way.
The Rebel account says it is estimated that
cover one hundred negroes were killed, and
" about fifty wounded" And it is added, quite
naturally. that the peaceloving and orderly
Whites, whom these riotous negroes are keep
ing in constant terror of their lives lost four
wounded and none killed" How long shall
we permit this persecution of the peaceful
Whites

The act of Congress providing for the natu
ralization of aliens mentions, as condition
precedent to the admission of any one to citi-
zenship, that it shall appear to the satisfaction
of the court that the applicant for citizenship,
during his residence in the United States,
"has behaved as o man of good moral charac
"ter, attached to the principles of the Consti-
tuition of the United States, as well as dis
"posed to the good order and happiness of the
Same This is point upon which the courts
seldom trouble themselves to make any inqui-
ries whatever; and if all the new voters who
are annually marched from Tammany to the
City Hall with blank papers in their hand
were required to satisfy the courts of their
good moral character, tho Democratic majori-
ties in NewYork would be very much reduced.

We do not often have occasion to express
our obligations to The New- York Ne,Cs, but we
do sincerely thank it for its account of the out
spoken conduct Of Gov. SeymOur's friends at a
meeting Saturday evening at HobOken. They
saw fit to attend meeting called by Republi-
cans, in such numbers as to control it. TheNews
shall itself witness how plainly they told their
love: "On his speaking of his remaining in the
army until the surrender of Lee, the audi
"ence took up the name of Lee, and loud,
enthusiastic, and continued cheering was
given for Gen. Lee and H0ratio Seymour,
" and supplemented by cheers for Gems. Beaure-
Z" gard and Frank Blair" Lee and HOratio Sey-
mour; Beauregard and Frank Blair Those Demo
Gratis had sense of the fitness of things Penn
sylyania, Ohio, and Indiana are to tell. to-
morrow, whether they too, like these Demo
Gratis of Hoboken, are for Lee and Seymour,
Beauregard and Frank Blair.
New Orleans Democrats rival those OF
Hoboken in frankness. Gen. Rousseau has
lately taken command there; whereupon
political club called the Rousseau Guards is
formed, whose politics, if not otherwise known,
could probably be inferred from the declara-
ton Tin a speech made before it) that the
" same Southern cheers which resound at the
names of Lee and Jackson would make the
"welkin ring with shouts for those OF Blair
"and Rousseau .ra
