The Picayune thus describes the
scenes at the close Of the New Orleans
registration: cat Q o'clock. yesterday.
the queue was about eight hours long.
The last dozen stood manfully to it,
although it was certain that they stood
no chance of registering. A lot of
negroes, some OF them plainly ben cath
the age of voting. had secured places
in the queue and waited for bidders.
Around, in circle. were copgregated
number Of prominent lawyers, mer-
chants and physicians, who looked on
gloomily at the queue, and mournfully
asked what they should do. A sharp
looking darkey, of dandified but dirty
appearance. approached aud suggested
that colored friend of his, who had,
by hours of patience and hard work,
gained the sixth place in the queue,
would gladly give it up to his white
brother for consideration. The place
was purchased for two dollars. The
other unfortunate gentleman laughed.
In few minutes they discovered their
mistake. At 2 o'clock station in the
queue was worth two dollars, at 4
O'Clock i've dollars, and at o'clock,
when all the negroes had been bought
out, and only white men were left.
place could not be secured for fifty
dollars. The negroes of the neigh
borhood began to make quite a profit
out of their registration Office. It in.
troduced to that immodest part of the
city e. population that perhaps never
had been there before. The negro
boy would sell his position for Eve dol
lars, take his place at the tail. work
himself up again to the front and sell
out half q dozen times in the day with
great profit. The old colored lady did
some business in letting chairs to stout
and obese old gentlemen who wanted
to be registered but could not stand it
out, and who marched along in queue
in comfortable armed chairs. A large
wagon was in readiness to convey worn
ont voters home"

AN OUTRAGE Yesterday. as Mr..
Elijah Horn and his son, Michael
Horn, OF EdgeReld, South Carolina,
~ere passing through Hamburg, on
their way to Augusta, with loud of
cotton, a negro man walked up and
caught hold OF one Of the lead horses.
Mr.. Michael Horn, who was driving,
asked him what he meant The negro
replied that he must stop. At this
time another negro caught hold of the
wheel horse next to Mr.. Horn. The
latter drew his pistol and the negro
dropped TO the ound. Mr.. Horn
then got off his horse. AS soon as he
touched the ground about dozen
negroes jumped on him and took his
pistol away. They then carried him
and his father before negro Trial
Justice. Mr.. Horn asked the reason
OF such proceedings. when the Justice
said he (Mr. Horn) owed negro
named Tigeand must pay him. Capt.
Frank Arnim offered his eervices to
Mr.. Horn to compromise the matter.
bnt Mr.. Horn refused to make any
compromise. and denounced the ne.
groes for stopping him in such un-
warrantable manner. The Justice
finally allowed Mr.. Horn and his son
to proceed. bat kept the latter's pistol.

CRIMINAL FoLLY.-A new use of that
unbearable instrument, the revolver,
was brought to light in the shooting
case which occurred in this city, on
Sunday. & sailor, Daniel r. English,
was relating to another sailor. James
Crowley, a story of a captain OF ship
who once presented q revolver at his
head, and, to illustrate his remarks,
drew out pistol and pointed it at his
companions head. The pistol, having
about as much reason and reflection as
the man who held it, went off, aud il.
lnstrated more than was expected.
The unfortunate Crowley was instanta-
neously killed, and another "illustra.
ton" was given of the danger Of carry
ing such weapons as revolvers, whether
as affording the ready means of willful
murder, or as liable to be discharged
by accident. or to be used by senseiess
iokers, as has been often done, to point
at somebody. with the risk of really
shooting them. as has OF unfrequeutly
happened. We have never before
heard. however, of q revolver being
used to ''point moral and adorn q
tale" and the proceeding seems so
novel and strange that, while the ex-
plosion may have been entirely unin-
tended. We cannot but think that the
ooroner's jury should have exercised
great deliberation before returning
snch verdict as would tend to the dis
charge of the prisoner without &C.
oountability to any extent. 1t would
seem that the perpetrator xUi, such an
act. reckless and terrible in itssresults,
shopld have been held to some sort OF
responsibility. We may add here.
that it isaioaStime that the practice
Of carrying revolvers should be pu6Ah
end to. 1t is an outrage upon peaKs:'
able and law.abiding men. who oonsti-
tnte the great majority OF every com.
munity, and who never carry arms,
that ruffians and foolish men should be
permitted to go abroad carrying th6
lives OF better men than themselves in
their pockets. and ready, at any mo.
mant. either from anger or in joking,
or by way of "illustration." to put the
lives OF others in jeopardy.
