The canvass. is prosecuted after q very
lively fashion here just now, and not g
night passes that meetings of some kind
are not held. There is great deal of bit
terness manifested between the rival wings
of the Radical party, the stronger faction
occasionally resorting to the playful posi-
ton of breaking up the meetings OF the OPP
posing clan. Besides this, merciess pro
scription has been resorted to by the party
in power, discharging scores OF city en-
ptoyes because of their refusal to vote for
Mayor Alden, the present incumbent.
The Democrats are doing something in

LITTLE, Rock, Sept. ,17.-Registration
has commenced in Arkansas. As conduct
ed, an election will be o mere form. in
affect, Gov. Clayton will appoint Congress
men and Presidential electors. Under his
instructions, Registrars exclude from reg
istering and voting whom they think
proper. The Pulaski County Democratic
Club asked him to appoint one Democratic
nudge and clerk on each county election
board to vouch for the fairness Of registra-
ton. He refused to do so, and when they
asked him to require the boards to regu-
late reflections by uniform rules, he replied
that the Registrars duties We're judicial,
not executive, and refused. This was done
notwithstanding his first general instruc-
tons issued to the registrars OF Independ-
ence, Perry and Saline counties. Where
the people are all whites and Demo cratic,
the registrars refuse to allow any persons
to register who voted against the ratifica7
tion of the constitution made under the re-
construction law. Thus the registrars
have the power to elect whom they please,
ami, this shows what Clayton meant when
he said that the Conway county election
aud registration should be fair. p ~

and was serenaded last night. The pro-
c,ssion included many thousands. Col. A
Schwartz acted as chief marshal. The
stand for speaking was erected in a twenty
acre meadow. The audience surpassed any
ever before seen; in this section. The
Democratic Inequalities are liberal, and
though the city was crowded, all were pro-
yided for.
There were ten thousand Democrats
present, and the procession was two miles

LoeANspoRT, Ind, Sept 17.---Last night
meeting of the Democracy was addressed
at Star City, Pulaski county, by B. B.
Daily Esq. During the progress of the
meeting an attempt was made to break it
up by the Radicals, which, however, failed.
In attendance at the meeting were party
of gentlemen, Democrats from Winamac,
the county town of Pulaski, who had gone
to Star City on hand cars. On their return

Klnaer, the teacher of the select school at
Winamac, was thrown forward on his head
and shoulders, and so injured that his life
is despaired Of Three other gentlemen
were also seriously injured. 1t is thought
the perpetrators of this outrage are known
and that they will be speedily brought to
deserved punishment. This is another
illustration of the spirit of Radicalism. ITO
