Mr.. DelanO, secretary OF the interior, and also

"The charge Of " illIam Welch, OF Phllsdel-

the suspicion OF it is without excuse"
The thiid annual meeting OF the Illinois
state grange of Patrons Of husbandry, COM
posed Of masters Of subordinate oranges, met
at Bloc ningtOn yesterday, between six and
seven hundred delegates being present, out Of
eight hundred. State-MaS.er COnilsolden de-
liVered the annual address, in the course of
which he deprecated making a political or
ganlzation of the order. He favored the eS-
lablishment of purchasing agencies, to pro-
tect farmers from the eXactiOns Of middle
men, and also the establishment of manufac-
tories, and other business enterprises in the
interest OF farmers. He reiterated his former
declarations, that the order was only opposed
10 the abuses OF the railroad system, and not
to tine system itself, and favored The improve
ment of The mouth of the Mississippi river
by the government. Beyond appointing vari-
Gus committees, no other business was trans
acted.
The state oranges of Iowa met at Des
Moines yesterday. Crane Master Smedley in

WASHINGTON, December l0.-The Louisiana
delegation 20 the national civil rights con-
Veution, accompanied by Senator West, called
To-day on the President, who, in response TO
an address thanking him for me care and
attention ne had given the cOlored people OF
Louisiana, said he would always eadeavor to
secure for the colored man all the rights
which should accompany his enfranchise-
ment; that certain rights are still with
held but that he hoped that ere
long they would md themselves in full pos
session OF all the legal privileges which be-
long 10 freemen. He did not know what con-
gTess WOald do in the matter, but thought 1t
likely that that body would, at Its present ses-
sion, pass some ciVil-rights bill, and that If
such bin is defeated, IL Will probable be be-
cause some extreme measure may be urged
by some person claiming to be particular
friend OF the colored man. After hand
shaking, the delegation took their leave.

TAx.PAYrkG VOTERS. TAKE HEED.


1t may not be generally known that
the registration Office will close on the
sixteenth of the present month. This
leaves only five days, inclusive OF to-
dav, for the performance of the duty of
registration. The approaching election
for municipal officers will be perhaps
the most important which ever took
place in this city. 1t is one in which
every man who has the prosperity Of
the city at heart should take a special
interest, aud under no possible cOntin-
gency fail to vote. In order to vote
every man entitled to the right of the
elective franchise must first register.
He cannot vote unless he has
his registration papers in his pocket.
We beg the real tax-paying citizens to
remember who they have to deal with
in the Radical opposition. The hope of
that opposition lies in the disregard on
the part OF the white people of the ne
cessity Of taking an active part in the
city canvass, Of negleeting to register,
of falling or refusing to vote. The Rad
icals will vote as they have done since
the franchise was entrusted to them-m
the 1rori Of command. They vote in
companies, drilled and by file. Not a
man will be left at home. Wary and
a.stute politicians will watch every cabin
rnd tenement house inside, and it may
he. as il has been heretofore, out
side OF the corporation, that no voter
be left unguarded to the ballot-box. Will
the real people of Memphis, upon the
plea of disgust, want Of time, or apathy,
neglect their sac'ei duty TO the city
by falling 10 register, and thus de-
prive the friends of good government
Of their votes? Will they stand by
while the destinies of the city Tor lhe
next two years, pass into the hands o.
men who do not conceal that they
desire to run the city government
in order that they and their friends
may put money in their purses?
Gentlemen voters of Memphis, remem-
Der the dark phalanx of the Radical op-
position; remember who and what they
are; remember your beautiful city; re-
member your heavy taxes; and above
AL, remember the vortex into which
Memphis will fall if the Radicals
once get the control Of her gov
eminent. Let every man who would
see competency, honesty and decency
triumph over chicanery and fraud,
register and prepare to vote for the PEo-
PIES TICKET next January.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-In the House OF
Lords, last night, Earl Caurderdale
asked whether measures had been
taken to complete the settlement oil
the western part OF the boundary line
between the British domlnions and the
United States. He contended that not
w~ithstandlng the decision In regard to
that portion Of the line which gave
San Juan to the United States, there
were still several water channels which
Americans might claim. The rights
Of the Indian tribes we're also left un-
told and collisions were inevitable.
He characterized the whole treaty at
Washington the most humiliating that
England had Eel negotiated. Gran
Vile replied, with the assurance that
steps had been taken to settle all houn-
Diary questions. A British Commission
had surveyed a line, which was almost
Identical with that laid down by the
Americans. Inspectors had been sent
out with n view of arriving at an agree
ment upon the exact boundary.
