registration of all qualified voters, and second

all doubtful and lukewarm Republicans. To
accomplish these objects, each club is advised
to prepare lists OF all voters in its precinct who
have never registered, who have reached the
age of 81 years since the last election, who have
removed into the precinct and need transfers
from other precincts. who have removed from
the precinct and need transfers from the same,
and to endeavor to influence by argument and
persuasion the large class of voters who are
doubtful, and particularly those who are in
the habit of staying at home on days of election.

many as 20 voters in the larger precincts and
Is in the smaller, are assembled, the immed-
ate organization of such clubs is most earnest

trict committee is advised to select day for a
meeting for the purpose at such precinct, and
take steps to give proper notice to the voters.

er club shall consist of President, Vice Pres
ident Secretary, Treasurer, and executive COM

WELL PLEAsED.-W understand that the
members Of the Peabody Fund Board, who met
at the White Sulphur Springs last week, at the
invitation of Messrs. Peyton & Co., express
themselves as delighted, not only with the per-
sonal attention and kindness shown them, but
everything connected with that celebrated wa
tering place. Chief Justice Waite, Gov. r. C.
Winthrop and Hon. W, M. Eyarts, we learn,
stated that it was their purpose to return du-
ring the season, ii possible, to avail themselves
ofthe water, the scenery and healthy, invigo-
rating atmosphere =, ,-i.,e't
BAREIs IS WILLING.-A communication in
the last Spectator, over the signature of Au-
gusta, informs the public that Col. James FL.
Skinner will not decline the nomin alton for
Congress. This is somewhat surprising, con-
sdering the attitulinism Of that patriotic re-
former and his antipathy to ofice-hol ding and
office-holders. We can hardly believe it until
we seesthe papers signed.
Col. J. w. Wolff, of Fredericksburg, has an
noltileed himself candidate for Congress, sub
iect to the decision of the Republican Conven-
ton.
