The PROCESS OF REGISTRATION goes brayely
on. From every part OF the parish OF Orleans,
men who have lived here for many years, but
have pursued their calling unmolested, now find
Il necessary to register, and to vote Tor seymour

much further, the fisheries, the raising Of yege-
tables the gathering of moss, the driving OF drays
and carts, the huckstering of fruits, and all the
other petty trades incident to great city, will be
taken away from them by act of the Legislature
And put into the hands OF negroes.

Suest held this day, at the corner of Gasquet an
johnson streets, on the body of Michael Carey
l there appeared on examination:
( "A penetrating wound of the brain. apparently
from a gun shot, entering the middle of the fore
e head, probing horizontally backward to the ex
tent of i've inches, met no obstqcle; neither wa
there a counter-opening found for the exit OF tn
missile.
This alone would satisfactorily account for dealt
withouropenng the Uranium, which was not con
sidered necessary; here also appeared penetrst

inches or more.
This wound appears not to be Of a s.rions IA
ture ranging ia the direction of the abdomina
caroty or large bloodvessel
My opinion Is, therefore, that death was pre-
daced BY the penetrating wound and Of the b n
Aforesaid. S.S HERRiCK, NJ d.
