The Minors of To-Day.

Our attention has been called by some one
at the Headquarters of! the First Military
District TO the fact that the voters oath pre-
scribed by the reconstruction, acts contains
these words /" That am taoent5- years
old" =,a.r1 .raor.- TT. .it.'a7" ~
This fact i,lstifes General CANBY and his
registering officers in refusing to register all
who cannot take this oath. This feature
of the oath should be e matter Of indiffer-
ence to either side, since it ought to exclude
rs many negroes as whites but the fact Is
that negroes have no conscientious scruples
on such points. Too many negro boys are
allowed to take it, and to register, who arc
evidently minors. General CANDY certainly
has it in his power to correct this wrong.
His registers should require some other evil
dence than the parties oaths in cases where
their appearance or the objections OF the
white challcngers justify doubts as to the
negroes ages. ..-a..-sre, ...

The " Scare.CroW."

The WELLS " scare-crow" is conmenda-
lily active. He has shake for every gentle
breeze, and an inconceivable number OF
capers and menaces for every smart flaw
growing out of the widespread indignation
OF the people of Virginia. Copying the art
of the harlequin, he is made to wear two
faces. One is conglomeration Of all
hnleous devices that may excite alarm; the
other Is made up Of the cast-otf rags of a
Union soldier, and intended to represent
the authority of the Government. If men
dare TO stand out boldly and march steadily
onward III defiance Of the one, why, the
Scare is wheeled about, and they are
menaced with the power Of the Govern
ment. A most industrious and miracu-
lously-endowed scare-crow, indeed!
Now that the people Of Virginia perse-
we're as did FAITHFUL, in spite of horrid
phantasmagoria and deyilish enemies that
heset their path, they are told that they

Registration.

Three days more, including this, for re-
oistration and the books are closed and the
lists completed of the men who are to Settle
the fate of the State, for good or evil, for
long time. Who that is entitled to vote
will fail to enter his name? Every man
should be ready to do his duty on the mo-
mentous occasion. Never was the State In
such peril. Never was there so great need
OF the help of all her sons to save her from
ruin. Is there any one who does not see
this Is there any man who feels reluctant
to perform his obligation as citizen, as
son of the noblest of mothers?
The ladies-always quick. to see danger
always quick to exert all their influence to
avert it-are fully aroused to the dangers
which threaten our dear Old Virginia. We
trust if they know Of a single man who is
delinqucnt at time like this they will set
upon him with all their eloquence, and II
that fail, with their sharpest satire, until he
is driven to register out Of shame, if from
no better stimulant. The man that fails to
register and vote now should incur the last
ing displeasure of the better part of So
ciety -.'.#... .'s

urged to discharge duty so plain at a time
of such exigency of the State. We hope
that we may announce onthe last day of the

Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad

The stcam-whistle of the locomotive has
been echoed and reGchoed among the noun
tains and hills Of the Alleghanies, On the
western slope, fer several days, and the
track will be laid to the White Sulphur
Springs to-day or tomorrow. This is fact
at last. 1t is really most delightful piece
of news. The water that now falls upon
the track runs off to the Ohio. The fact
must excite somewhat quickened pulse in
the heart of every Virginian, This long
talked-of route-this great middle highway
across the centre Of the Union-has passed
its greatest barrier, and the waters that flow
to itsterminus now brightly reflect, the pow
erful locomotive and the trains 1t draws
with laundering reyerberations through
the mountain passes.
The road will be put in good order before
the passenger trains are allowed to run
upon it, which may not be until the LIST OF

FRUIT IN FIRGISIA.-At recent meeting
of the Farmers Club of the American In
stitute in New York Mr.. FULLER wanted
to know why it was that ono large-sized ber-
cries ever found their way from the sunny
"South." Mr.. FULLER was Immediately en-
lightened on this subject. H..,e..-..
Mr.. r. g. PETERS stated that he had never
seen finer strawberries than those he saw in
April at Macon, Ga. He suspected that the
southern people ate their best berries "and
let the Yankees have what was left" He
added: "In Connecticut it is different.
:" There it is the custom to sell everything
"they can sell, and eat everything they
"can't sel.'' a IL. i.
But both PETERS and FULLER were further
enlightened by DR.. HALLocK, who invited
them to go with him and he would show
them in the retail shops as fair specimens of
the delicious berry as they ever laid eyes on,
and from " south Of Mason and Dixon, too"
He spoke what he knew, as he had just
lunched on quart of Them" To this Mr..

What an insult the WELLS proscriptives

They set up every species of intimidation
and employ every art to alarm and brighten
the people Of Virginia from pursuing the
very line Of policy chalked ont by General
GRANT himself. WELLS and his follow
crs are trying to keep In the very ohiec-
tionable clauses of the constitution which
General GRANT has declared no people

white people Of Virginia are sustaining

raj GRANTS wishes rs to declare that he Is
against the tes-oath. But he makes no
effort to change the opinions of his follow
crs. And vet we are told that for sustain
ing General GRANT against the enemies of
his policy reconstruction will he made
"a subject Of future discussion" If we
can elect man who can even take the IRON
clad oath to be Governor, all we do will go
for naught, and have to be gone over again.
This is the shallowcst Of all the articles
of the scarc-crow." They presume that
we arc children, and that General GRANT is
dishonest man. That an election ordered
and carried according to law and in good
faith is no election at all-that the Govern
ment is merely trifing with us--that all is
right if We elect certain men, but oil wrong
if we don't-and that if we don't elect the
men the Government wants us to elect they
will be put over us by force Of arms. 1t is
base calumny of the Government, and OF
the military authority. 1t is ridiculous
attempt to conceal the alarm of the Wells
ties, and an insult to the people whom it Is
possibly hoped. in some degree to influence
by so shallow and shameless an artitice.
What a ''rare scare-crow" it is! 1t can
only strengthen the people in their deter
mnation and increase the contempt that is
felt for the tricks and contrivances of the
WELLsITEs.

Hewers of Wood and Drawers O
.. Water" ....as

The question whether the African race
arc the "hewcrs Of wood and drawers of
water" according to Scripture, was at
tempted to be settled by their capture and
enslayement and the only people in this
country who assisted in stealing them from
their native land for this purpose were those
of the North. The recent war set all Afri-
cans in this country free. No sooner was
this done than the descendants of those in
this country who conducted the slave trade
in the last and the beginning of this century
came down and proceeded to enroll and
drill them for another kind of slavery-that
of the will and conscience. They are now
working like hewers Of wood and drawers
of water for the descendants of the men
who enslaved their fathers. They have
even mobbcd their own colored men-ln-
GLIDING no less a dignitary than DR.. BAyNE-
at the behest of their new masters,
and now they are distressing their own
race-as FIELDS Cook, DR.. BAYNE, DR.. NOR

his passive obedience to the carpet-baggers,

Wells wants Harris Scratched.

To the Editors Of the Richmond Dispatch:
From the statements of DIR. Harris, the
speech Of Mr.. Chandler in the Valley, and
other evidences. it seems pretty certain that
the white Radicals will scratch Harris's
name off their tickets. 1t is certainly to
Governor Weiss interest that they should
do it; for if Harris is elected Lieutenant
Governor neither the Radicals nor the Con-
servativcs will agree to send Wells to the
United States Senate, where he will get
$4,000 a year for six years, with chance Of
reelection. lie may make upwards Of S70,-
900 by the operation. But if flarris's name,
is scratched off by the white Radicals, a
white Observation-Disclosures will be elected.
And in that case, if the Radicals want to
send Wells to the United States Senate, the
whites will agree TO it, SO as to get rid him
and then white man-our Licutenant-Go-
vernor-will be Governor of the State. So
it is clear that it is the interest of Wells to
have ITarris'S name scratched off. Ofcourse
it will never do for him to say that he wants.
this done. He ought TO declare that he in
tends to make all his friends vote for Harris,
and swear that he won't 20 to the Senate.
The negroes will not know any better until
after the election. ZACHARY TAYLOR.
