Be sure to register as soon as the books
are opened, and advise your ''neighbor to
do so likewise. Remember no man il
disfranchised. The 14th Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
only prevents those who held Office before
the war and afterwards took part in the
rebellion socalled, from again holding
Office. 1t deprives no person of theright O
suffrage. You must register or You canno
vote. Your military registration paper
will not be of no service.

Hon WArER.-The New Orleans

HTGH MATER New Orleans
papers reach us with long accounts Of the
high water and the consequent submerging
OF the rear portions of the city. The water
had not reached so great height since 1881.
On Friday evening the city canals were
threatened to overflow and a breach did
occur in the levee of the new cSnal. Be-
tween Claiborne street and Meterie Ridge
the low ground was submerged and the
Canal street ears were withdrawn The
shell road was covered and rendered i'm
passable for buggies. The draining ma
chimes are powerless. We copy the closing
paragraphs of the statement of the Repub-
lican Of Sunday morning:
Above the New Basin, back OF the Jack
son railroad depot, the whole country was
nearly submerged, caused by water from
the draining canals swelled by the rain.
That section, except on Washington avenue
is sparsely inhabited.
A small canal in the rear of tue Third
District is over its banks, and people living
in that neighborhood will be compelled TO
leave. This rise is caused by water from
the lake.
AthaIf-past six O'Clock last evening Lake
Pontchartrain was running over its banks,
flowing toward town. AT Milneburg. at
inches deep. The Pontchartain railroad
track at Gentilly road was fifteen inches
under water at dark, when train OF cars
passed over. The lake pier is almost sub
merged. waves washing over the highest
parts. Residents of Milneburg can only
move around in boats.
This overflow is higher by two or three
inches than OF the year 1881.
Superintendent Badger sent several skiffs
to the rear of the First District, and will
send more to-day TO assist the unfortunates.
About eleven o'clock last night the wind
shifted to the South, and the breeze was
fresh. The sky looked stormy, and clouds
were fleeting over from south TO north.
The Jackson railroad above Pass Manshac
is submerged, and passengers by that road
are slowed upon dirt ears, and drawn by a
force of twenty or thirty men for distance
of four miles through the water,to reach the
regular train, which cannot go down to the
steamboat landing at the Pass bridge.

If the ideal of human happiness is
placed in an instant of fleeing, uncertain
delight, overshadowed by past pain and
trembling before the approaching doom
of nothingness, the song that celebrates
it may amuse, but can never satisfy.
y poet, in this age of the world to be i'm
mortal, must write as if he himself be-
lieved in Immortality.

Good Advice.

The Democratic Central Committee of
North Carolina has published an address
advising a full vote for the proposed
constitutional convention, and urging
Democrats to carefully abstain from
violence, and to make an extraordinary
effort TO preserve peace, order and har-
mony.
No such advice is ever given by the
Radicals, who are fast loseing control in
the South. Peace and order is notswhat
they want. Their power was begotten OF
the bayonet and can live only by strife.

that smell strongly of Ku Kluxism. The
house of Samuel Jackson (colored,) in
Kentucky. was burst into by an armed band.
taken to the woods, stripped and whipped
nearly to death for voting the Democratic
ticket.
A negro by the name of Sid Embry was
taken out of his house, near Athens, Ken

of good reputation, and had, on the day
preVio us, at the election of Magistrates,
voted the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Henry Scarth, living within a few
miles of Jacksonville, Illinois, was charged
with cruelty to a colored girl living in his
family. The Missouri Democrat (Radical, }
stated that the girl was tied up by the
thumbs three times and was heroically cut
down each time by Miss Henry. despite the
threats of Scarth, who, after the third cut
ting down, drove Miss Henry from the
house. Scarth was arrested and tried for
ku kluxing his hired servant. The jury
found his guilty, and he was find S25 and

among the loyal until 1t was discovered that
Scarth had always been a strong Radical.

COMPANIONS OF BULLDOGS

AS for the landless and uncapitalized
classes, the poor whites, formerly stigma
tiZed by the shareholders rs white trash,
their feeling toward the Government Is
merely the reflection of that OF their masters.
Just now they are in a savage mood, insti-
gated TO any possible act of violence. They
are as imperyious to a higher civilization
as ever. Hatred of the negro is now added
TO hatred of the Yankee, and both these
" in the bosoms of men who are about as
capable of independent thought as the COM
panions of their old slave hunts, the bull
dogs, whose ferocity they emulate. Until
they are reconstructed upon higher model
of manhood they will continue to answer
with hound-like fidelity the call of their
masters. These are the men who meet in
ku Klux cOnclayes to plan the murder of
Union men.
