DON'T FAIL TO REGISTER.

Whatever difference of opinion there
may be among Conservatives upon the
question of candidates, let there be none
upon the all important and vital one of
registration. Register and organize.
Let the Superintendent at once enter up
on the work reorganization, and ascertain
who have registered and who have
not, and should see that those
who failed to register in 1867,
should register no'o. A faithful perform
ance of this duty will add thousands to the
Conservative ranks, and make victory in
the coming election certain. 1t is estima-
ted that Twenty-Five thousand voters failed
to register in 1867, and even suppose we
induce only fifteen thousand of this num-
Der in the State to register now, and TAX
ing the figures of the late registration,
whites, 10000 +; negroes, 1914 600, and
allowing their Radical estimate of 5 ,O00
from the white vote, after the addition of
the Is, 900 newly registered white votes,
it will give the Conservatives majority
of 5000 in the State. With this
prospect ahead, let every white Con-
sentative register-and that, too,
with the religious idea that he is doing it
to save his State from impending ruin
REGISTER, REGISTER, REGIsTER ty all
means.

CONVENTION.

We must confess that we were somewhat
surprised at the suggestion made by one
or two papers in the District, of holding a
convention to nominate candidates for the
district Offices. AS rule, we believe in
these conventions, but think they should
be held in proper time. 1t would scarce
ly be possible now, at this late day, to
hold county meetings to appoint delegates
to the convention to nominate candidates,
and for the candidates to be brought fair
ly before the people, before the election ;
besides the candidates now out, after hav-
ing gone to considerable expense in an
nouncing themselves and in canvasing the
District, would hardly respect the adverse
action of a convention, and would thus
divide the vote of the District to so great
an extent as to insure defeat. The State
Conservative Convention has retired its
ticket, '',,on Jene," and We say now for a
"free fight"

ssThe Tripartite Alliance ;,


The fact which at this moment dwarfs
all other facts is the beginning Of neg
citations for an alliance, offensive and
defensive, between England, France, and
Spain, against the United States. This
| telegrapbed to you two days ago. 1t is
still a secret in London. I shall say moth
ing Of the sources of my information,
nor can | add much to the original state
ipent . I do not know who set this project
On foot-whethcr it was started in England
or France; whether conceived in the brain
Of usarper responsible already for SO
many lnischiefs, Or by some British tool Of
his who fancles he has inherited the mantle
of Palmerston, and can add another link
to the many the old Premier forged in the
chain which binds England to Napoleon.
But it seems to have sprung up suddenly
1t was Matched by the heat Of England's
passion glowing red-hot against America
these last fourteen days. Of course it
grew out Of the Alabama. 1t matters lit
tie whether an English Minister, alarmed
by the sudden fear Of meeting just de-
unands, turned for refuge to the old enemy
Of England;ssor whether Napoleon, in his
alert way, volunteered the suggestion of
a new alliance. 1t is the fashion just
now in European circles to resent what is
called the diplomatic arrogance of Ameri-
ca. Napoleon nurses his ange: over the
expulsion from Mexico. Spain trembles
for Cuba. England sees her future dark
ened by the shadow that has hung over
her and paralyzed her ever since the
American war ended Lulled to sleep by
Mr. Reverdy johnson, she has been rudely
awakened by Mr.. Sumner. She breads
to lose Canada and her West India pos
sessions. More than one public man has
expressed his regret that England rejected
the offer of Napoleon to recognize the
Confederacy. They think it still possible
to retrieve, at least partly, that mistake.
France has possessions also in danger if
Canada falls to the Republic. There is
St. Pierre, hardly ten miles from the Brit
ish cost, nursery of French seamen,
pet colony, for one instance. So many
considerations agree in recommending such
an alliance that [ need not show why the
theory is probable. I have only to say
that the account of the egotiations came
to me in way which seemed so credible
that was not at liberty to keep silence.
/ cannot tell how far they have gone, still
less whether they will ever result in secret
treaty. But believe they are in prog
ress, and that if the Alabama clamcs were
to take the shape Of demand or menace,
the resistance of England, which has be-
come certain, is likely to be supported by

No matter how you intend to vote, or
even if you are disinclincd to vote at all,
you should not fail to register.
You may change your mind before election
day, and having failed to register, you
will be withou vote You and all of us
are now on grand hunt, and every in
dividual should have his weapon and his
ammunition. He may think on starting
out that he will just saunter along and
leave others to do the work, but if buck
crosses his path he will charge his mind.
So if nc should find himself confronted by
a fierce varmint. Ofcourse this is but
figure of speech. The ballot, not the
bullet, is the thing to arm yourself with,
and we undertake to say that no matter
how you may feel now, when the time
comes you will be warm for Walker and
hot against Wells. BE sure to register so
that you may be entitled to vote. Not
vote should be lost. He who loses his
vote by failing to register will be looked
upon as skulker.

sTIIE SLEEPING LION KICKED
BY A JACkASS."

Beyond doubt, one of the most con-
temptable acts that ever disgraced peo-
pie, occurred last Saturday, at Washing
ton, on the occasion Of the decoration of
the graves of Federal soldiers, buried at
Arlington Cemetery. 1t is we'll known
that, besides the graves Of the Yankees,
there sleep about one hundred and forty
of our own glorious boys in grey" and
it was supposed, from the buster of some
of the Republican speakers, who have
been mouthing so loudly of late, that the
little band of southern heroes would be
permitted to have placed upon their re-
mains the tribute of flower, and mayhap,
twas thought, some kindly heart, moved
at the sad spectacle Of a neglected grave,
would drop tear, in peace, above those
who, although foes, fell at the front SO no.
bly,. But it was reserved for those in
charge of the cemetery to make leap, far
Their into the mire of sectional bitterness
than has come to our knowledge since the
close of the var. The poor consolation to
the surviving friends of that gallant group
of as brave men as ever drew sabre or
handled musket, of placing floral testi-
monial upon their last resting place, was
denied them ay, not only denied them,
but literally kept back at the point ofthe
bayonet, by q company of cowardly mis-
creants, who did the bidding of the organ
ization known as the '' Grand Army Ct
the Republic. ," It is useless to attempt
to express our utter detestation of this pu-
sillanimous act, and we merely give the
facts. The reader can make his own COM
ments.
Speaking of the above affair, CORES
pondent of the New York Herald says:
1.-The lieutenant in command, whose
name is Shirley, but Of which | am not
certain, was particularly offensive in his
manner. Seeing lady throw small bo-
quet on one of these (Confederate) graves,
this lieutenant rushed to the spot, picked
up the flowers, and throwing them on the
ground at his feet, commenced stamping
on them in such manner as to attract a.
bout him a crowd of wondering spectators
in very few minutes. Some of the look
ers on, learning the cause of the lieuten-
ants rage, commenced to murmer disap-
probation, when the lieutenant shouted
ont, 'D-n you. get away from here,
every one Of you, Or I'D make you.
Guards, come up here and dispense tue
crowd The lieutenant accompanied
these words with angry gestures, aud
swinging lis arms about as if he intend
ed to pitch generally iuto the crowd. His
guards answered his call, bat the crowd
dispersed without waiting to be bayonetted.

for the good of the State, and Of giving
effect to that decision. Bitter regret must
attend those who, from present indiffor-
ence, q froward impotence because all
things are not just as they would have
them, Or from any other cause, shall by
neglect have erected a barrier between
themselves and the performance of what
may then seem to be sacred duty-shall
have denied themseles the power to aid
iP averting great public calamity. And
nlore, apathy in our circumstances
amounts to crime. Not to vote with
car friends, is to give half support to
our enemies. Then pride of opinion
sectional prejudice-the jealousies grow
ipg out of local divisions and conflicting
Interests if any such exist. should stand
rebuked in presence Of the mighty peril
that menaces the State while all our hearts,
and minds, and means should be united in
cine common effort to avert it.
