From an official statement published in
Richmond, it appears that the number of col
: .ored persons registered for uoting in2that city
@ exceeds the number assessed, by about $500,
while the discrepancy 10 the list Of whites is

III We have received the p Official Pamphlet"
a weekly journal, in pamphlet form, published
in New York, land edited by Mr.. Edward A.
Pollard, containing articles ION the leading pc.
liticaltopics Of the day. and a resume OF the
general neWsof the week. The first number is
characteristic of the style Of the editor, and
chiefly noticeable for an unnecessary, not to
say an improper and unjust article upon Mr..
Jefferson Davis, .bottomed upon the newspaper
report that he is to be connected in business
with a British commercial house. - We pre-
sumo the assault upon Mr.. Davis, will not be
generally acceptable, even to those who do not
think kindly Of Mr11D''s course. It certainly
ought not to be, to any fair minded generous
hearted man. 4-A:lH ~ I~--@tv~@
