WE HAVE not heard from the coun-
ties of Barbour, Randolph, Gilmer,
Braxton, Hardy, Wayne and Cabell,
since the Board of Registration met in
those counties, but, judging from the
editorial in the IRtelligeRcer yesterday
morning, We may expect rascality-any
amount of it-in them. In Barbour, it
will be remembered, some FIVE or six
hundred Democrats have heretofore
been stricken from the lists; aud of the
3O3 remaining all but SO were notified
to appear last Monday. In this num-
ber were included good maay who
have heretofore acted and voted with
the Radical party, but who deserted it
upon account of the rascality aud pro-
scription of its leaders. In those coun-
ties, it is not on account of a mans re-
bellious sentiments toward his coun-
try, but his rebellious feelings toward
the Radical party, that insures his dis
franchisement.

In order to startle the Republican
voters, revive dead issues, and if posi-
BILE fire the Northern breast TO war
heat, some busy police officer has con-
trived to find a lot of muskets, bayo-
nets and infantry accouterments in an
unoccupied house somewhere, and
gravely conjectures that they were hid
den there during or about the close of
the war, to prevent their falling into
the hands of the United States Govern
ment. Even an old book about the or
ganization of a Confederate company
has been placed among these arms, and
the whole is TO be ostentatiously para
ded as a memento of the bloody rebel
lion. Poor old COnfederacy, it must
have been a fearful thing, as it has to
be unearthed and resurrected cOntlnu-
ally to induce refractory Republicans TO
toe the mark.-Nelr Orleans Delta.

The Coming victoryin Pennsylvania,

The Democratic column is moving on
to sure and certain victory in Philadel-
phia. Nothing can now prevent an
overwhelming Democratic triumph to-
morrow week. The Democracy are jubi
laat and enthusiastic; the Radicals
are respondent and dispirited. The
bottom has tumbled out of the great
Radical colonization tub, and all their
well.laid plans for cheating the people
have been thoroughly exposed, and have
subjected their authors to public exc
Grafton. Let the Democracy continue
their unceasing vigilance-watch the
Radicals at every election precinct-and
in every case where fraud is contem-
plated punish the rascals to the full ex.
tent of the law. Democrats, keep up
the fire along the whole line as you are
now doing, and such triumph will
crown your efforts as never before glad
dened the hearts of freemen.-Philadel-
phiG Age, October ).

The New Orleans Bulletin tells how
Louisiana affairs are managed. 1t says:
When a proposition was before the
Legislature to amend and make less
Objectionable to the naked eye the
printing monopoly bill, the colored leg
islatOr, Isabelle, said that he had re-
ceived letters from prominent Republi-
cans in Washington stating that the
bill must be amended. When the resO-
luton was under discussion in the
Senate to amend article ninetynine of
the Constitution, the Honorable Curtis
Pollard, a negro, said in substance :
ave received our instructions from
Congress, and made our Constitution
accordingly, and | see ne reason
why we should change it now"
When the Social Equality Bill was
before the House, the indignation
among the white and black negroes
was general against A. w. Faulk:
ner, an ex-Confederate, and now
rather moderate Republican, because
he dared to say a few words against the
policy of enacting such bill. But,
presto change, the Governor vetoes the
bill; word is sent from prominent Re-
publicans in Washington" that show
OF conservatism must be kept up to fool
the voters in Pennsylvania and Ohio,
and all, save Isabelle and few other
hotheads, change their tune and join in
the chorus, according to the pitch and
cadence of tie directors at Washington.

Democratic Victory i'm Connecticut

Under our telegraphic head will be
found a special dispatch giving glori-
Gus news concerning the city and town
elections in Connecticut. 1t is known
that the Radicals made great, but quiet,
efforts to get out their entire vote, and
that a large amount of money was ac-
corded them by the Jacobin Congress
sienal Committee here for the purpose
of success, so that announcement to
that effect could be heralded far and
wide as harbinger of Jacobin victory
in the great States that are to vote a
week hence.
To the same end that committee gave
carte blanche to the Philadelphia man.
ayers of the celebration of the "Boys IN
Blue" in respect to expenditures. They
were instructed to spare no expense.
We know, from Republicans, that a
gathering of 10000 or 1000 true "Boys
in Blue" or real soldiers, was antici-
pated, so many were the States to be
represented. They comprised all New
England, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and the
District of Columbia. The day came,
after great proclamation of the joyous
ness which was to result from so grand
a reunion of the gallant spirits who
put down rebellion. There was to be
every form of enjoyment, if not ofrevel;
yet when the procession came to be form
ed, the real boys in Blue" the fighting
sort-were not there in any consdera-
BILE number. The procession, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, independently }
was zone hour passing given point"
The Radical Associate Press account
from Philadelphia gave an hour and a
half. But either figure at once shows
to a person having knowledge of pro-
cessions in great city that the cele-
bration was miserable failure. In
stead of having forty or fifty thousand
"Boys in Blue" in the line, there was
not onc-half that number in the process
sion at all, and half of those, or more,
were such soldiers as Colonel Forney,
the President of the Convention, and
the Printers Club of this city.
Republicans here who knew of the
intention of the Jacobin managers to
get up a great demonstration, and of
the money expended to effect that par
pose, are depressed to the greatest ex-
tent. They augur i'll for the future. The
news from Connecticut this day comes
in to sit CHASTITY upon their souls.
The cOntiguity of Connecticut to New
York shows that as are the feelings of
the people of the former on political is
sues, so are they of the latter. If an
election were to take place tomorrow
in the Empire State, the majority for
Seymour would be almOst fabulous

BUTCHERY AT SEA.
A Ships Crew Tortured and siaugh-
tered by Cooiies-The Blood Thirsty
savages Fight among Themselves
and Kill Fifty.

An Italian vessel, the Theresa, trad
ing on the coast of China, was recently
the scene of fearful slaughter commit
ted by coolies. The particulars of this
tragedy are as follows:
The Theresa left Macao on the 9th of
February with two hundred and ninety
six coolies and a cargo of silk, tea, &c.
At the end of sixty-two days she arrived
in sight of the shores of New Zealand.
While the crew were occupied in the
forepart of the vessel the coolies rushed
to the cabins and seized the arms lying
there. They then attacked the crew,
and in about ten minutes dozen sail
rs-Italians-were killed, hacked to
pieces and flung into the sea. The Sec
ond mate, who defended himself brave
ly, received the contents of gun fired
close to him by sailor whe was forced
by the coolies to commit the murder.
The boatswain's mate received nineteen
wounds and was put in irons. After
eighteen days of horrible torture-nails
being driven into his head,-he was
killed about forty-eight hours before
the vessel arrived off the coast of Chi
ma.
After having exterminated nearly the
whele of the crew the coolies began fight
ing among themselves, and fifty of them
were killed. The victorious party then
proceeded to decapitate the dead, whose
heads, packed in boxes, were slowed
away in the hold. The unfortunate
wife of the captain was confined be-
tween decks, and was subjected to the
most cruel treatment.
The majority of the coolies were pi-
rates, and were perfectly acquainted
with the use of the compass and with
the charts. They compelled the cap
tain to steer for the port of Tim Pack.
On arriving there the Theresa was pill
laged by them, and the mandarins aided
in stripping the vessel. In this condi-
tion the vessel, abandoned by the pi-
rates, arrived at Macao, having on board
the remainder of the crew, consisting
or eight sailors and the wife of the cap
tain

in any instance desire to vote for differ
ent men from those put up by the Re-
publican party, and who fear the ridi-
cule of the leaders of that party, to
60 to the polls quietly, without con-
salting anybody, and drop in their bal
lots for whoever they may prefer. 1t
says:
Many men will be kept from voting
for moderate, conservative men in the
coming elections, and be made to vote
for some ertreme Radical against their
own good judgment and knowledge
of what is best, simply because these
Radicals may have been put up by the
Republican party. We advise all such
to say nothing, but to go the polls and
vote as they please.

Living Democratic Arguments.

The New York Tribune has Washing
ton correspondent who recently wrote
from that city, rather exultingly, that
"the Republican Committee are sending
out documents at the rate of more than
l,OOO, 900 per week" The New York En-
press, in noticing this little enterprise,
with great truth, says everywhere, on
every side, in every home and house
hold, is a Democratic argument-such
as
rYThe double price of tea;
SThe triple price of sugar;
rgThe double price of clothing;
rYTbe velocity and volume with
which property in almost every part OF
the country is running from the poor to
the rich in consequence of the Unequal
lty and injustice of taxation;
yThe destruction of our foreign
commercial marine;
BThe banishment Of all geld and
silver as coin, and the universality of
paper;
rPThe downfall of the Constitution
everywhere;
~The substitution of consolidated
for a federal form of government;
IyThe overthrow of the right of trial
by jury, and of the hdbeas corpus among
10000 900 of our people;
LgThe subjugation of eight millions
of white men in the South to three or
four millions of negroes;
yThe reign of carpet-baggers IN
Congress-generslly runaways from the
North, 10 represent the
whites and negroes in the South.
All these are Democratic arguments
il every mans mouth, and are present,
more or less, everywhere, in every house,
cottage and cabin.
