The Races Filth Day.

There was an average thin attendance
at Chickasaw Jockey Club Course yester-
day. The weather was most unpropi-
tious, as it has been all week. The races
have been success, considering all dis
advantages, but the weather could not be
called success. The officers of the
club deserve great credit for their energy
and their cheerfulness in the face of such
serious difficulties, and we hope that their
next meeting will fall in better weather.
There has not been clear day this week /;
even if the sun shines ont in the morning
for an hour or two, there is almost sure
to be cold, cutting rain before night.
The arrangements for the races were all
that could be expected or desired, Ma
merous turfmen with fine stables we're at.
tracted here from abroad. The Jockey
Club. without asking any outside help,
offered liberal purses for every
race, and the entries as numerous
and as coed ss we're ever made in the
South. had the weather been clear all
the week and the ground dry, larger at
terdspce of the best classes would have
xracsd tbs Stands than has been seen Al
race since the war; The officers of the
Club have demonstrated what they car
do, and the public will not forget theiI
generous efforts to promote the legiti
mate aims and ends of the turf
There we're three races yesterdsy-the
last one being iu hard cold, shower Of
rain. The resElts appear in the follow

The Municipal situation and Pros.
poets for the Next Election.

The law requiring every voter to reg
lister in his own ward. before voting at
municipal election, is about to be strictly
enforced for the first time since it was
passed fourteen years ago. Commissioner
Sears made feint toward carrying out
the Law once but failed, as it would have
interfersd with the importation Of colored
voters from the rural districts and other
wise Radical plans Registrar Boughner
has opened places for the registration Of
those who hold certificates in every ward,
and published the fact in the papers, and
if the people do not register it is their
own fault. These sub-ofices will only
be open until the lst of December. That
lie, they will be closed over q month
before the municipal election in
January. Thus far the whites have
registered rather slowly, and with the
exception of half dozen or so Demo-
Gratis, the negroes have not registered at
ell. But those who think the colored
population asleep or Indifferent to what
is going on are much mistaken. At least
fifty of them call on Mr.. Boughner every
day to ask questions about the election.
So far they have made no public demon
stration, but some of the leaders have
lately returned from Mississippi, where
they were employed to assist the Alcorn
ticket, al d have gone to work like beavers.
1t is believed that ct given signal about
three days before the books are to be
closed they will come forward in solid
column to register in the different wards
Il will then be too late for the whites
to recover the ground lost by
apathy. If the negroes succeed in get.
ting enough names on the books, it is un-
derstood that they will run negro
for Mayer, and in some wards put out an
Aldermanic ticket. Ed. O'Pshaw, the
ex Com issioner, is the prospective can
didate for the honors of the Mayoralty.
Lord Mayor O'Pshaw, at Q picnic of the
Sons of Ham, would make a smashing
fne appearance. The colored troops
will fight nobly, il they get chance, and
would, of course, have some white allies
in the background to do the dirty work.
That such schemes are being forged in
the loyal African mind, we are fully
satisfied.
On the other hand, several gentlemen
of excellent qualifications have been
suggested for the Office of Mayor, and
withouts convention there might be half
dozen independent candidates. Among
those mentioned in connection with the
position are His Honor Mayor Leftwicb,
Henry J. Lynn, Esq, Colonel Jossph
Lenow, II. M. Loewenstine, Esq, Alder
man Black, Colonel John League, and
some others. We are not aware, how
ever, that any of these gentlemen aspire
to run. But the city is fortunate in
having a great deal of available talent
for such positions as may at any time
become vacant. 1t seems probable that
convention of the Conservative-Dsmo'
cratic people will be called to nominate
candidates for Mayor and Aldermen, to
which the various candidates not Radical
would doubtless be willing to submit
their claims.
The following shows the number Of
voters, white and black, who have regis
tered in the different vards up to this

A COOL OPERATION.

the Auburn depot, the other day, met
her husband, and discovered at the
same moment that she had lost her
pocket-book. She stated to her hus-
band that when she left the car there
was quite crowd on the platform,
and a man accidentally trod on her
dress, which vexed her to such de-
gree that she looked him rather sharp
ly in the face" And there he is
now," she remarked, indicating a
spruce looking individual standing
near the car she had just left. The
husband Immediately approached the
stranger and very coolly remarked to
him just as the train was about to pro-
ceed: Look here, young man, 1
want my wife's pocket-book. I don't
want to stop you-all I want is the
book" Without reply, but noting the
determination expressed i'll his cool

from his pocket the missing property,
as he stepped on the platform of the
now moving car, and handed it to the
gentleman, merely shouting as the
train moved on, "You're bully boy,
