In New Orleans Republican can
vassers report 10000 names of parties
upon the registration lists who can
pot be found at the places of residence
indicated on the books. Warrants
of arrest have been made against all
these names, and force of deputy
marshals is busy serving them. Only
small portion of the parties sought
for can be found, and there seems a
favorable prospect of several thous-
and fraudulent Democratic names be-
ing stricken from the books of regis
tlation. And, 90 merciful Hevings y
what furore this has created in the
camp of Democracy. So long as Re-
publicans were being arrested and
dragged before the u. S. Commission
ers upon frivolous charges, nothing
was said, except i'll praise of the Wig
lance Of the Democratic registration
committee, but now that the tables
are turned, We hear eloquent and i'll
dignant protests against the invasion
of the sacred rights of citizens.

One robbery three street fights, in

upsetting of a fire engine and wound

man and woman by a drunken fellow !;

Capt. Clayton Hale, in command of
the force of United States troops sta
toned at Monroe, seems to be vigil
lant, conscientious officer, who per-
forms his duty without fear or favor,
and reports things as he finds them,
regardless of whose feelings may be
hurt or whose toes tramped upon by
the operation. The officer recently
forwarded to Gen. Augur at New Or
leans detailed reportoof the assas-
sination of DR.. B. II. Dinkgraye and
the killing Of two colored men in
Ouachita. In this document it is as
serted that people who publicly maiu-
tain that Dinkgrave's murder pos
sessed no political significance, pri-
vately admit that he would not have
been killed if he had been a Demo-
crat further, that the murderers of
the colored men were disguised whites
with blackened faces. Capt. Hale
denounees some of the local officials
as tine~serving and cowardly, aud
expresses his belief that the Demo-
Gratis of Ouachita and other parishes
intend to secure the success of their
State and parochial tickets regardless
of the sentiments of a majority of the
voters.

Two weeks ago several unknown
parties broke into the rooms of the
Registrar of Voters, in the State
House, New Orleans, and after bind
ing and gagging clerk who slept in
one of the apartments, put 4 quantity
of papers ia sacks and endeavored to
carry them away. They were met III
the dark corridors by two watchmen
aud IN the melee which followed both
tie latter were severely beaten. The
burglars escaped, but were compelled
to leave the sacks and contents he
hind. 1t is believed The coveted doe
uments were the collated evidences
of the extensive naturalization and
registration frauds charged upon the

assault upon the watchmeD, and re-
