our forty millions Of readers with

"NEw YORK, Sept. 0, 1870.
II hasten to give you the latest
intelligence. No other has the
news. My private correspondent
telegraphs me from Sedan Ma
poleon surrendered to Gen. Sher-
idan-not King William. It is
now universally admitted that to
the moral influence Of the pres
ence Of Sheridan alone is due all
the Prussian victory.
But a sad reverse follows:
SEDAN, Sept. 0, 10 A. M.-The
King is informed that Butler and
Banks will leave by the next
steamer to join the French army
He releases Napoleon and all
prisoners, and Graves a treaty for
peace.
10:l0.-The King orders all the
silver spoons in Germany melted.
This intelligence reaches Butler,
and he declines to leave America,
France having sent all her spoons
to Spain.
Ten Minutes LGter.-King
William dies. Sheridan marries
his Queen. He is proclaimed
Grand Emperor Of Modern Eu-
rope - Russia, Austria, Italy,
Spain, Germany and France con-
curing, and we wait to hear from
Victoria, to form one happy and
glorious union.

A correspondent Of the Jack

the infamy Of RadiCalism, and the
Infamous appointments Of Alcorn,
1.-THE negro Governor Of MisSis-
sippi,) says:
at is deeply regretted that one
Of our good men ever accepted an
appointment from AlcOrn.'
We deny the charge. Point to
a single good man"-good intel
lectually, morally or politically
who has yet disgraced himself by
accepting an appointment from
Alcorn. The best that can be said
of any of Alcorn's appointees, is,
that ,Oorse men might have been
appointed. The best that can
be said is, that SOme Of the
men he has appointed, have not
yet been in the penitentiary
How long this immunity from
the life of q convict will exist,
is q matter of time, but we ut
terly deny that they are "gOod'
or that they can be trusted.
The great majority Of them are
thieves and drunkards, and we
have high official authority fol
saying that not one received an ap'
pointment from Alcorn, who did
not previously disgrace himse!fby
giving in his adhesion to Radical
ism, rascality and AlcOrn.

There is an ancient adage, to

A CLERGYMAN in q certain town
in Massachusetts, having occasion
to call in the services Of a brother
minister, rendered him OF the close
of the day the usual fee for preach
ing, which, in those days (it was
before the war; was ten dollars.
Such a sum for such work was
then thought good pay; but on
this occasion the man seemed slow
to take it, and finally said, while
putting it in his pOCket.book: 81

The New Orleans Bee says Of
the yellow fever reported in that
city: ave assure our Galveston
friends that the yellow fever is not
epidemic here, nor is it likely to
become so. 1t is confined to one
particular locality in the city-the
vicinity OF the French market
almost to one class and nationality
Of people. Three.fourths Of the
deaths which have occurred are
those of Italians-fruit vendors
and others-having business with
small vessels in the Gulf trade.
From this the disease would seem
to have been imported from some
port Of Cuba or Mexico. It is too
late in the season for the fever to
spread or become epidemic, and
there is no indication Oft. Should
the disease extend itself, the press
Of New Orleans as it has always
done, will announce the fact"

TIE Raymond Gazette declines
to give the names Of any prOmi-
nent "0ld Line Wings who favor
the "third party movement" 1t
fears that it may put itself in a
condition similar to that of the
Brandon Republican and have gen.
tlemen cursing because they have
been "placed where they did not
belong" We have read the arti-
Cles Upon this subject which have
appeared in the Republican with a
great deal of care and interest,
and we do not think an error
has been made relative to the po-
litical position Of any gentleman
named. If the Gazette should not
receive any more cursing than the
Republican receives from this
cause it will not be seriously in
ured. Is not the silence Of the
Gazette however dictated by an
other motive? Has 1t the name
Of a single prominent Wing not
now in sympathy with the Radical
party Of this State to which 1t can
refer as being interested in this
"third party movement" We are
inclined TO think it has not. And
in fact we are confirmed in the be-
lief from the language Of that
journal. 1t either is too honest or
afraid to do what it charges upon
the Brandon Republican that Of
putting gentlemen where they do
not belong and thus no names
are given.

The New York Express makes
the following compliment when
comparing the surrender at Apo
mattox with the capitulation OF
Sedan
The French Council Of Minis
tiers, up to Saturday evening, must
have either been imperfectly in
formed of their losses at Sedan,
or else were afraid to communi-
cate to the excited Parisians the
whole truth. They speak Of the
surrender Of 10000 men by Gen.
Mcmahon, whereas our dispatches
to-day state hat the number will
reach 10000.
There have been many great
wars within the past half century
both in Europe and in this coun'
try-and there have been a great

Just now remember so prodigious
q surrender as this. A hundred
and twenty thousand men, with
arms in their hands, it seems tC
us, should have been capable
of something better, something
more heroic than absolute
and unqualified surrender-even
though the enemy largely out
numbered it. We can only com,
prehend it on the theory thaI
the soldiers were badly differed
and led to battle by men who
though valorous enough, do no
seem to have been endowed will
the qualities necessary to enable
them to "snatch victory from tn
jaws of defeat"

Sec. 8. The Legislature shall

Here then are two insurmOunt-
able impediments. Until regis
tration no one has a right to vote,
and any vote cast will be illegal.
And should there be an election
no one is qualified for election to
office. Registration is a necessary
requisite of qualification both for
the exercise of the right Of suf-
frage, and to be eligible to office.
There has been no registration
nor can there be any until the
Legislature provides for it; con.
sequently there is no man in the
State eligible to Office, nor no mai
qualified to vote. If the Legisla.
ture never provides for a registra
ton, there can never be an cleo
ton in the State. Elections have
come to a deadlock"
There are many vacancies II
the Legislature o%ccasioned through
death and appointment to otheI
positions, and we observe that il
different portions of the State
preparations are being made Il
fill these vacancies by election
To our judgment it can not be. I
the Legislature never provides 70
a registration we suppose affair
in this State will eventuate in
monarchy. All of our presen
rulers will die Off save one and he
at his death, will appoint his sue
cessor, and when all the member
of the Legislature are either dea'
or appointed to Office, then ther
will be no power authorized +
provide for a registration. PROT
ably this is what Alcorn knows
which induces him to appoint tn
healthiest looking members Of tn
Legislature to other positions.
All charter enter. Uses whic
require a vote for subscription t
stock, such as railroad project
are powerless, because no vol
can be had.

January, when probably it wi
prepare a registration act. In Il
meantime we can amuse ourselv'

it is so clearly presented to us.
