THE SOUTHERN METROPOLIS. y

A new candidate for public favor, ed
tied by j. Fairfax Mclaughlin, ESQ.,
It's conduct shows ability of two-kinds;
first, editorial ability proper, in selec-
ton and arrangement of material; Sec
ond, journalistic ability; as displayed
in the force and temper of its original
articles. Its correspondence, home and
foreign, is of unusual interest, and its
excerps from American and English
prints discover not merely taste but an
appreciation of whatever has intrinsic
and lasting value. We have been
struck with leading editorial in re-
cent number, which so completely de-
molishes Mr.. Sumner that we may well
believe the rumor that its author is one
of the most distinguished legal intel
lects in this country. AS its name i'm
plies and its editorship makes certain.
the Metropolis is Southern to the very
core. 1t is an eight-page weekly, is
published at No. 81, Lexington Street,
Baltimore, at the low price OF $3.50 a
year.

REC0LLECT.

Recollect, that unless you defeat the
test-oath clause, nobody can be a civil
officer of the State, or probably a ju-
ror, unless he can swear that he has
never given any encouragement to the
eLemies of the United States; thus says
the Charlottesville Chronicle, restrict
the choice of the carpet-baggers, seal
lawags and negroes, with the exception
of that highly respectable, but unfortu-
nately, very small class of Northern
men, who have come among us as bona
fde settlers. If you are decent man
and want to prevent this state of things,
be sure to REGISTER, and see that
your neIghbors REGISTER.

NEW YORK DAILIEs-CHEAP READING.

We get the Herald, the World and
the Tribune. The Herald is valuable
for its news and correspondence, the
World for it's care fully written edito-
rails, its sound political principles and
It's friendship for the South, and the
Tribune for its literary department.
Nearly every number of the Herald is a
triple sheet, and once a week and Of
tener it has quadruple sheet the

quent triple sheets, containing pro-
digious quantity of reading matter,
most of which is interesting, and often
times deeply interesting.
Now we have long thought it a pity
that all this good reading matter should
be converted into wrapping paper after
the very cursory perqsal which ar edi-
tor, with so large an exchange list as
ours, is forcedto give. We have thought
show Our acquaintance in the country
would enjoy these papers if they could
only obtain them" So thinking, we
have determined to file these New York
dailies, and a number of other papers
containing valuable reading matter.
and dispose of them at nominal rates
to all who chose to apply fer them in
person or by letter. In this way, we
may perhaps serve our newsp aper
friends by inducing persons to sub
scribe. At all events, we shall give our
country friends the chance of supply
ing themselves with an abundance of
reading at very trih!ng cost.

EMPEROR.

The Paducah (Ky.) Kentuckian says if
the Radicals are determined to have an
emperor in this country let them take
Bob Lee.
Gen. Lee is much too soft-hearted to
make good Emperor. Gen. Grant
has disappointed us, and we hereby
warn him that, unless he improves
speedily, we shall take down his name
and run up that of VIM. Malone. We
might have known that it was no use
to go outside of Virginia for anything
in the shape of real man and we did
know it, but no matter. We lock to
Malone. If he disappolnt us-but he
must mt do if.

CUBA.

The news of the volunte revolution,
it is said, has stimulated the secretary
of the Cdban Envoy at Washington to
increased activity in pressing Tor the
recognition of the government of Cuba
by the United States. Mr.. Ruiz, the
Secretary, it seems, has had prolong-
ed interview with Secretary Fish, in
which it is said important disclosures
were made calculated to hasten the ia
yorable action of the United States
government. A Washington letter
says that the suggestions of Mr.. Ruiz
were to be considered by Mr.. Fish, who
would be prepared with an answer in
few days. We presume however, the
American Secretary will proceed with
prudence and more caution than is con-
tanned in the remark-''louS out for re.
cognition before many days" The in
terview, however, is regarded as an alb
surdity.

REASONS FOR REGISTERING AND voT.
ING

There are too many even to think of
enumerating here, but the following
which we find IN the Enquirer and Er-
dminer, are, in our opinion, sufficient to
influence the course of every right
thinking citizen. Registration COM
menced on the 14th inst, the boards
have been appointed and the places an
nounced. With the people remains
the balance. In.the following para
graphs the Enquirer tells the people
what will come to pass if the Radicals
are allowed TO elect Wells and carry
the Legislature. By full registra-
ton and full vote of the whites of the
State, it can all be averted:
The Legislature well proceed to lodge
the judicial power of the State in the
hands of men like Underwood and
Bond and Chandler. They will elect
all the county judges flor each county
is to have a judge all the circuit judg-
es, and the judges OF the court OF APP
peals, They will also have the Secre :.
tary of the Commonwealth, the Audi
tor, the Treasurer, the Boards of Pub
lie Works, and the Boad Of Education.
In 1871 they will re-apportion the
State for the Legislature, and consoli-
date their power for ten years longer,
You will be arrested by negro sher-
iff on the complaint of negro, COM
mitted on evidence BY anegro justice,
convicted by a negro jury, and lodged
In the penitentiary under negro jail
or, and not be pardoned by Governor
Wells or Governor Harris.
As-your schools will be managed by
negro trustees, your roads will be kept
In order by negro overseers, and your
poor-houses will be governed by a ne
gro board-you footing the bills.
Your University, your Military In
stitute, your Asylum for the Blind and
the Dumb, your Lunatic Asylum, will
be destroyed, or kept up for the benefit
Of the blacks at your expense. The
colleges of the State generally will
probably be closed under the clause a.
bout "equal public privileges"

DEPEND UPON 1T.

We are drifting, says Hon. Alexan-
II. Stephens in letter to the National
Intelligencer, to consolidatlonIand en-
pire, and will land there at no distant
period, as certainly as the sun will set
this day, unless the people of the sew
eral States awake to proper appreci-
alton of the danger, and save them
selves from the impending catastrophe
By arresting the present tendency of
public affairs. This they can properly
do only at the ballot-box. All friends
of constitutional liberty, in every Sec
ton and State, must unite in this grand
effort.
Depend upon it, he adds, there is no
difference between consolidation and
empire No difference between cen
tralism and Imperialism! The end of
either, as well as all of these, is the
overthrow of liberty and the establish
ment Of despotism. l give you the
words of truth in great earnestness-
words which, however received or heed
ed now, will be rendered eternally true
by the developments of the future.
We have no faith in the uprising of
the "friends of constitutional liberty"
The time for that is past. Our Empire
like all others, will be inaugurated in
blood. But if the swelling wave of
Capitalization is to be arrested before
the dreadful day Of anarchy and civil
war, it will be done within the next
three weeks by the joint efforts of the
Conservatives and True Republicans
in Virginia. 1t is absolutely the last
chance. If we go down before Wells
and HIS horde of incendiarles, there will
be no more struggle until comes that
American CONFUSION which shall shake
the earth TO its centre. Depend upon
it.

NEGROES IN OFFICE.

BY fraud and violence, the Radicals
have carried the day in Washington
and put a number of negroes in office
as common councilmen. This is we'll.
The more negroes in Office the better.

we regret that the "True Republican"
party in Virginia did not nominate
negroes exclusively for every office,
State and Federal. We are sinking;

Constitutional Convention held in the
Capital OF this State.
For the sake of the colored man in

CHEERING WORDS FROM sOUTHAlL.

We have to say to our country friends
and they know we mean what we saw
that the news from all quarters is good.
The situation at preser { is full of prom
Use. The whole State is aroused. Nearly
every leading public man in the State
is for Walker; and the guns are going
oil in every direction. The canvass at
this moment is decidedly more active
than it was last summer, when we were
confident OF victory.
=
The unanimity considering the cir
cumstance, is gratifying in the extreme,
The five or six men of note in the State
who hold off must take their course.
The people are for voting down the test
oath and the DISTINGUISHING clauses Of
the constitution, and for securing the
Legislature and the Governor. The
current is too strong to be resisted.
Those who do not wish to be left by it,
had better bestir themselves. As mat
tiers stand, Walker, it seems to us, must
be elected /; and we should not be Sur
prised II his majority is very heavy
one.-Enquirer and Examiner.
