ReGistraaisn in COushntea.

It seems that registration in Coushatta
has not been perfect success even with the
aid of United States troops. 1t 10 we'll
known that registration had been delayed
there in consequence Of the killing by the
White Leaguers of the person first desig-
mated by Governor Kellogg as the assistant
supervisor Of registration for Red River
parish. Therefore, when it was known that
successor had been appointed and actually
arrived in Coushatta, accompanied by
troops to aid in securing peace, that fair
registration might be had, the colored
people flocked into town for the purpose of
registering. But when they arrived there,
to their utter astonishment they were or
dered back by the White League, who
still pasro. the country in armed squads,
and prevented from registering. This con-
duet. in view Of the very short time that is
left TO complete the work of registration,
does no, lead TO the belief that it is 20 be
pertec: success even with the aid Of troops.

Thus it is eeen that the pauper e1-
pelse for 1873 was nearly 50. 200. As
more than one thousand Of this amount
was for transportation of paupers, cloth
ing and assistance to families which
would be required in addition to a gen.
eral hospital expense, it will at once be
seen that the 81, 700 rem manning would not
keep up the expense of poor house
or hospital, even if We had a furnished
building for that purpose.
The advertising for proposals TO main
tain the poor and sick will probably be
tried by the Commissioners, as it may
lead to some less expensive method OF

The State Grange.

The State Grange met at Columbia,
in Parker's Hall, on the 18th inst. The
delegation was large. and the meeting
is said to have been harmonious. As
the newspaper reporters did not have
the privilege Of q seat among them, OF
course, nothing can be known of their
proceedings but what they choose to
relate. 1t is stated that the subject OF
immigration was discussed. The Gran
gers refused to cooperate with the Tax
payers Convention in the matter of i'm
migration, because they wished TO avoid
the slightest danger of being charged
with political tendency. Though the
Taxpayers Convention plsinly avowed
itself non-political, yet had the Changers
associated with the Convention the enc
mics of the former would have manu-
factured capital ont Oft.
They have determined upon cstal-
fishing a central bureau Of immigration
in the city of Columbia, and contributed
$1,000 for the establishment of a bureau
in Charleston under the supervision Of
Maj. F. Melchers.
The following are SOME of the officers
Of the State Grange:
Thomas Taylor, Worthy Muster; D..
W. Aiken. Secretary; A. N. Aiken,
Treasurer, and DR.. J. A. Barksdale,
Grand Lecturer.

Death Of VIM. III. McCaw.

1t is with painful sorrow that we
make mention of the sad and sudden
death of the above estimable gentleman.
On the night of the 18th, while engaged
in writing for the Ne'cs aad Courier,
of which he recently became IN editor.
his clothes in some way or other took
fire, supposed to have happened through
the upsetting and explosion of q kero-
sene lamp, and before assistance could
be rendered, in answer to his cries for
help, he was fatally burnt. He died
the next day after much suffering. 1t
was but short while ago that the press
of the State was ringing his praise and
congratulating the fraternity on again
having added to its number so fearless
champion of liberty; but now, instead
Of the smile of welcome which greeted
him from all sides, tears Of regret are
shed over his grave. How unceltsin
are human hopes and prospects! MIR.
McCaw was q native of Abbeville, and
about twenty-eight years Of age. He
had been editorislly connected with the
Guardian, the Pha7ai1, the South Caro-
lfae:aa, and at the time of his death was
on the staff of the NeUs and Courier
He welded a graceful, vigorous and
fearless pen; he was among the first Of
those who defended the right and made
war against the wrong. His merit
was as great as his popularity, which
extended throughout the State, and his
amiability WAS as endearing to his
friends rs his denunciation was terrible
to the enemies of his State. The press
will miss him, the people will miss him,
But we must ali die, all leave ourselves!
1t matters not where, when, nor how, so We
die we'll:
And can that nan that does so need la,nen-
tation for him"
