THE FXTHER-1N-LAlv AND SON
IN-LAW.
Lewis County Registrars.

VI" Nuoh'y SANN6ssNAaA''sf
:, Since Or. Hall has declined to partici-
pate..in the dirty work Of the prescription
of his tellow, citizens and neishbors, it
remains to the fathcrsin-lavt and son-in-
law-to Corlcy and to Coonred, to carry
out the bcastly adcsigns Of their masters.
They in council, are entrusted by Cover.
nor Stevenson with the high prdrogatirc Of
determining the status Of the ancicn. in.
habitsn.s of this County. fi5alphslaisi
It's little singular to look back and
see how steadily tho Board Of. Registrars
has decreased in responsibility and stand.
Ing in the past few vars. The first
Board Of tlis County was T.. NJ. Hale,
Geo. Ross. and john S, Anderson, all
good and worthy citizens Of respectable
Characteristic frs.,wo nox. being bitterly
opposed to the Infamous action Of the
present incumbcnts. The, next Board,
which consisted Of Jacob Hudson. Lieu
tenant Loyott aud Mr.. MofFct, showed a
decided decrease in the items mentioned
and the last, 1--WE do not include iDr.
Hal, is tosusc. the language ola radical
friend. the little end of no.hing-lacki1g
everything that constitutes responsibility,
and destitute of@any soeial or political
standing. Butwel gave pretty full ac-
count Of these gentlemen last week., and
lonot propose to waste space upon then'
again just now. o'illi$ ass'i.i''N y ....' =.
We begin to believe Tint the language
Of one Of our radical officials was about
true, wl,cnhc sud ."that the only reason
why that Lewis County gave Democratic
majority was that tho Governor couldn',
find men with nerve enough 10 make
good Registrars such as they had in
Braxton," for certainly we do not know
Of any ono iii this County, outside Of
Corley and his son.ip-law, who HAS sufli.
Glen, mcanness in his composition to acl
as scavengcr for Governor Stevenson
This being the case, we suggest that OUT
as,ute Governor import Craven u Berry
from Draxton, to fll the vacancy, and Lei
us have all tho rascals. -.fb'u t'ei F'N

Ills fact worthy Of being remembered
that Rober. Crawford and many others Of
those prescribed by Corlcy's rascality,
wore, at the beginning ofaour trouble,
and are to-day, Union lncn.-that they
voted against the ordinance Of secession,
and'udviscd tleir ncighbors TO do like
wise. Not 50 with Corlcy and Coonrod,
for unless they are malciously inisreprc-
'cn,cd, they not only voted for said ordi-
iIShcc, but The former took up arms in do.
fence Of all the secession doctrines which
that vote inaugiruted. Crawford, no less
now tlian then, opposed all such passionate
lcrcsics, aud adlicres to the Constitution
and Union. What do fair minded men

OPERA HoUsE.-The Augustine Conbi-
nation was greeted with very ne audi
ence last night, and il was a matter Of
regret that the show was not strictly first
class. In this sense, we mean TO say that
the performance was not as good as was
expected. When the curtain was first
raised, An apology was made for the abb
sence of Mile. Augustine, Prof Henrie, the
cannon ball performer and juggler, and
the Lappin Bros, the great clog dancers.
The packet left greensboro IN such hurry
on Thursday that these four persoHs-the
great attractions of the company-Were
left behind, and for Eome unaccountable
reason they failed to arrive by the packet
last night. The fraction Of the company
that was present did their best 10 please
the audience. and some of the acts were
hfstrate, and were heartily applauded. II
the other portion Of the troupe arrives
from over sboro to-day, notice Will be
given by the istue Of programmes, and q
good performance may be looked for this
evening. If the missing memb ers do not
arrive, there viii be no performance to-
night, as the troupe want to give the PEG.
pie the worth of their money.

RolT BUfrpING-A visit TO Jami-

Boar BUILDING "A visit to Jani-
sons ship yard, yesterday. gave Us
the information that the new hull for
the steamer Romeo is being pushed
forward rapidly, and it is probable
that il will be ready to launch in two
or three weeks. This is the second
hull that has been built here the past
year, and it is the largest that has yet
been constructed at this point. Mr..
Jamison is an energetic boat builder,
and at present employs large num-
Der of good ship carpenters. He has
entered this business alone, determin-
ed if he failed that no one else should
fail with him. So far he has been
quite successful. and we hope that the
time is not far distant when steam
boat building will be big business
here. What is to prevent boats being
built here as we'll as at New Albany
or Madison2 Capital is the great
lever that is required. and we have
hopes that some of our moneyed men
will foster such enterprises and
give Us a first class shipyard. 1t
would give employment to a large
number of hands aud add vastly TO
the. prosperity and future improve
ment of our rapidly growing city.
