A NEW GAME OF EUCHRE.-Tbe Eng
glish have made an improvement In tue
mode Ofplaying this game, a description
of which will no doubt prove interesting
to encre players. For example, with
every pack of playing cards sold there
is one blank card at the top of the deck,
used in this country frequently as a
marker" Bot the English make bet
ter use of this white faced card. They
include it in the suits, making tifty-three
to the deck instead of fifty-two, and 20
the euchre deck tweDty-uine instead
of twenty-eight cards. This blank card
at first was called "Leuis Napoleon" !"
but has been subsequently corrupted
into the less euphonious title of yer
ker." The ''yerker,r then, is the high
est ranking card in the euchre deck,
having capacity to capture either of
the showers" or the ace, so that a man
may be euchred even with the ace and
two "bowers.' Wherever the "yerker"
is turned up by the dealer that person
has the privilege of making the trump"
And can make it to the most advanta-
geous suit in his hand. The game is no
vel, and We understand affords much di-
version to the players.

A palmer defiance Of public sentiment
could hardly be imagined. ID is. not
only admitted that the Registration
Law has been "a partisan engine" in the
past, but that for the future it will be
used to enroll all men of whatever an
tecedents, who will become Radical
voters.
This charge has frequently been made,
and the evidences are in existence to
substantiate it. But that such odious
purposes should be openly avowed, and
public opinion impudently defed,
could scarcely have been expected even
from the most shameless Radicalism.
We accept the admission as it is made.
A Radical law, ostsnsibly designed to
register men without reference to their
politics is confessed to be used, as far as
possible, for the enrolment only of
Radical voters. 1t is not the disfran-
chisement of rebels that is sought
Men may have been stepped i'll treason
t. the lips, but if they will only act
with the Radical party, then their sins
be forgiven them, their new faith hath
made them whole.
Such being the case, let the people
reflect upon the monstrous character of
the Radical proscriptive system. The
only ground upon which it was ever
iustified-to wit: that rebellion forfeits
political rights-is now abandoned, and
the villainous proposition is maintained
that Radicalism alone must be the test
of suffrage. Has such proposition any
element of justice'
We oppose the Registration law and
the general prescription system be-
cause they are wrong in themselves.
We now set up the additional and ac-
knowledged objection that they are
used to compel the adoption of the po-
litical views of the Radical party and
for no other purpose. That admission of
the Times is not now discussed for the
last time.

that casts o shadow of doubt over the
assertion. The records of the War De-

were mustered out of the service for

GLORIOUS An QUOTATIONS.

Success will bring to you deliverance
from tyranny that gals and oppres-
ses you everywhere and at all times.
Neria drire from your borders, and
consign TO the infamy they so richly
have earned, the base brood of sa,raps
who have domineered over the South.
Organize clubs in every locality !;
send speakers through all the land to
arouse the people. Try to convince
the negro that we are his real friends !;
but if he viii not be convinced, and
is still joined to his idols, convince
him at least that he must look TO those
idols whom he serves as his gods to
feed aud clothe him. Agree among
yourselves and act firmly on this
agreement. that yon will not employ
any one who votes the radical ticket.
Use all the means that are placed in
Your hands to control this element by
which the radical party seeks t. de-
grade us while they secure success,
and we can turn their batteries
against themselves. II win not do
TO say that the negro has no right to
vote, for right or wrong he will vote
in the next election, and his vote
may turn the scale. Let us meet this
as q practical question. and seek, out
of this great evil that has been inflic-
ted upon us, to work good for ourscl-
