It is announced this morning that Captain
J. G. Luck retires from the Daily DdnUille
Ne,cs, and that Messrs. Manning Brothers as.
sumo entire control of the paper. The cards
of both parties are published, in which it is
stated that they part on good terms. The
Ne,os heretofore had professed to be "inde.
pendent in all things-free from any leaning
to the. radcalism of the Conservative or
Radical parties" Messrs. Manning Brothers
declare this morning that they will always
t'support with all the zeal of conviction the
Conservative party of the State or town, and
strive to promote the success Of this party as
the only safeguard against corruption and
ruin" -:
Registration under the special act of the
Legislature for this city is going on brisklV.
Last night the number registered was LBS,
of which number the negroes had majority
of 106. Both parties are canvassiDg the city
closely, aud those of doubtful qualifications
who apply for registration are questioned
quite sharply. Only one little unpleasant
ness, however, has occurred. and this the
Mayor put an end to by requiring from the
parslsS pleuSt vi uouol tua' lucy "'ui"
drop the matter at once.
believe this registration was begun part
ly with reference to second vote on sub.
scription for the Danville and New River
railroad. It has been found, however, that
the lists very much needed purging. As for
the. feet on the prospects of the Henry rail-
road, l learn from some of the Henry adye-
Gates of that road that not SO much can be
realized on the private subscription for stock
as was once supposed to be available.

In the mat OF the Atlantic, Mississtppi

payment of current labor and expenses, AND
also that the back pay due the employees Of
the road shall be secured to them. Merchants
along the line are concerned in this respect,
and through them Richmond merchants.

The Bank of New York.

1t is now stated that The directory of this
bank consisted mostly of old and very re-
spectacle gentlemen, who knew very little
about the business of the bank, and who
were as much surprised as were the public
at the explosion. The institution had very
respectable place In the public mind, and
the exposure of its coEditiou caused great
surprise. RICHARD PATRICK, the vice prcsi-
