coIored
Mr.. Conrad Rosner, white was rejected, not
having been naturaliZed, and William Shorter,
colored, was rejected, he not having resided in

himself for registration. whe was refused on
the ground that he had been at school near
Gettysb for year or more, and had only
returned 70 Washington within the past month
or two In connection with this case a diff
nculty came near occurring between MI Wal
ter DruTy, a Challenger on the part Of the First

challenger on the Republicans. Mr.. Slower
made some remarks involving the veracity of
the aforesaid young man, when MIR. Drury in
CURED of him (S-) if he was not willing 70 take

being very satisfactory, prury remarked that
he (S.) was No gentleman, and if he would
walk outside the church he would pull his
nose Tor him. Mr.. Slowen refused to 90 out
for any such purpose, and the interference of
the conductors of registration put a stop al that
time TO further difficulty.

went over 10 Mr.. Clephanes table and made
some remarks about persons making themselves
onhclous who had run away from Washington
to escape draft during the war, which was
construed as personal by Mr.. Patrick Hagerty,
another Democratic Challenger, whereupon
that gentleman replied sharply, when Mr.
Slower, in an undertone called Mr. Hagerty
puppy. The utterance of this uncomplimentary
comparison brought forth an equally severe
or any one who took up for him 10 step outside
and use such language. Mr.. Slo owen also re-
fused to accept this invitation, and here the
matter ended.
