30 frishmen hailing from New Orleans,

Appended, in behalf Of the disfranchised
Ir.shmsn of the Southern S ates. They
say they are no longer citizens, and have
been deprived of the right to vote, and
in many places have been driven from
the polls, snd that the Radical registrars
have refused to enter their names on the
registration lists, that thousands and tens
of thousands OF their felIOw-countrymen
in the Southern States have thus been
GisfrsHehised, while every negro who
presents himself is admitted to the right
of citizenship that they are regarded
by the Radical party as inferior TO ne
groes who have no rights, political or
otherwise, which they are bound to re-
respect; that hundreds, yes thousands
o Irishmen have been deprived Of official
positions to which they were elected or
appointed in the different cities through
ou5 the South, and that In Mobile aud
New Orleans those oGicts we're after
wards conferred on negroes. They cay
