Without proposing any remedy. we would
eall the attention of the Advisory Board to the
fact that Radical voters in the Seventh and
other wards, have openly boosted that they
intend to vote twice, and that nobody can pre-
vent them. The n,odus operondi we under
stand to be this The Assistant Supervisor Of
Registration, honestly enough perhaps, signs
. lot Of registration papers in blank. A num-
Der Of these blanks, SO signed, by some mys-
ferrous means, get in the hands of outside
parties.
Now, when Radical subject receives his
genuine registration papers, he is told per-
haps, to see Mr.. So-and-so. He goes there
and receives an exact duplicate Of his papers,
bearing the genuine signature of the Assistant
Supervisor Now, under the election law, o
voter may vote at any poll in the ward, con-
sequently, if he has two or three sets Of regis
tration papers, all apparently genuine, he may
vote two or three times without any fear of
discovery. at least not until after the counting
of the ballots and inspection Of the lists.

YELLOW FEVER IN CHARLESTON.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 13.--Some exaggerated re-
ports Of the existence Of yellow fever in Charles
ton having gone abroad, within the last day OF
two, the Board of Health have investigated the
matter and report officially as follows:
During the last six or seven weeks several
cases Of yellow fever have occurred, Of which
two have terminated fatally. They have all
originated in the extreme eastern parts OF the
city within limited area.
Every conceivable precaution has been taken by
the authorities in these localities to prevent the
disease becoming epidemic.
OF this, however, they have no fear, owing to
thu lateness Of the season and the sanitary
measures adopted.
They are pleased to announce that since the
9Th instant no death from this cause has been
reported.
A lady who was urging some friends to din
ner felt disguised when her eight -year-old son
came in and said, Mrs. Jones says she can't
spare no bread, and Mrs. Fox amt to home,
so didn't get any butter" The friends
thought they had better dine elsewhere and
the lady thought so too, bat she taught that
boy that the way Of the transgressor was
lard.

A SUGGESTION.

We have plan to propose which we be-
ieve will at once act as stimulant to every
honest voter in the ranks of the Democratic
and Conservative party and as an efectual
check upon fraudulent voting. 1t is this: Let
there be stationed at every voting booth three
clerks, whose duty it shall be to register in
duplicate the name and residence Of every
man voting the Democratic and Conservative
ticket.
Let every man who goes forward to vote
provide himself with two tickets Of precisely
the same character, one Of which he shall de-
post in the regular ballot-box and the other
in the box in charge of the three clerks, re-
ferred to, giving at the same time his name
and residence.
This, it seems to us, is an easy and prach-
cable way Of arriving with absolute certainty
at the precise number of votes deposited in
every ballot-box in the State, and neither
supervisors nor Returning Board could then,
successfully, falsify the records, as it would
be in our power to bring forward every indi-
vidual voter on our side of the house, and
prove by afidavits and incontestible evidence
the number of votes to which We were emit
tied in every voting precinct.
Something of this kind will have to be done
in order to defeat the ingenious plans of the
enemy, whose only hope of success lies in
fraud The plan adopted at Vicksburg, by
which every white voter polled an open ticket,
ems bling clerks to keep tally Of the white
votes, was an excellent one, and the re ,ult
was highly satisfactory. The plan we suggest
has the advantage Of enabling us after the
election to prove, not only the number of
votes cast for our candidates, but the names
of the persons casting these votes, their resi-
dence and their right to vote.
We respectfully submit this idea to Major
Burke, who, we are satisfied, has given the
whole matter his closest attention.

PECK VISITS NEW ORLEANS.

and therefore requested William Pitt to meet
me at the st. Charles Hotel. William sent
word that he wasn't feeling well, and if it
didn't make any difference to me he would
rather see me at the Custom-House, where he
could see the blue coat sentinels walking up
and down. William had been in the Custom
House several days The Custom-House is a
splendid granite building and does credit to
the United States as place in which to do
custom-house business, but it didn't seem to
me like place in which Governor Of State
would choose to sleep upon the floor. Still
folks do great many things for their health.
Pitt received me with CHASTITY smile and
with en- inquiring look of anxiety, said What
do they think of it up North, Peck? Well,
I'll tell you, William, the general impression
is that Packard keeps the shop and you are
the wooden injun he rolls you in and out
till there is row in the street, and then he
salts you away in the Custom House for safety,
until things are quiet again.
Did You read my letter, Peck, about how
taxes have been reduced?
OF course did, and it seems strange to me
that the people don't appreciate your efforts.
Keep on, Bill, and State bonds will get up to

you inves; your surplus in city bonds, bearing
seven per cent gold interest?
You can buy EN- for forty cents, you know,

take in leaving that check-book behind but
suppose you were in hurry. Then he
groaned, did William, and felt sorry to have
SO narrowed up his feelings; but when al

troops IN the city, he sort of cheered up like,

CRoPs.-The crops all along the bayou, from
Moreauville to Bayou Rouge Prairie, are in
splendid condition. The corn is being gath

damage. It opens very fast; SO much SO that

THE CRoPs.-Continued reports of the cot.
ton crop are gratifying. On many places the
yield will be a bale to the acre. It is being
rapidly gathered and hurried to market. The
low water prevents a very rapid shipment, but
still it is going off at lively rate. The cane
crop is making fast in this favorable weather.

the statement OF loss sustained by you, as made
