Not many years since certain
miners, working Ear under ground,
came upon the body OF a poor fell
low who had perished in the suffo-
eating pit forty year, before. Some
cher.ical agent to which the body
he'd been subjected--an agent pre-
pared in the laboratory of nature
had efoctually arrested the progress
of decay. They brought it UP to
the surface, and for a while, till
thoroughly exposed to the atmos-
phere. it lay ther image of q fine,
sturdy young man. No convul-
sions had passeaovrr the face in
death--thc features we're tranquil,
the hair was black as jet. No ono
recognized the face. A generation
had grown up since the minor went
down into the shaft for the last
time. But tottering old woman
who had hurried from her cottage
on hearing the news came up, and
she knew again the face which
through all these long years she
bad not forgotten. The minor was

Lady Draye recalled him with an

danger as well as extreme poverty

One morning she did not return.

deprive man of his vote who is of
the proper age upon election day, but
was not so at the close of registration !;
but it appears not less unjust to re-
fuse the ballot of an elector who has
been duly registered and had the mis-
fortune to lose his registration paper
after the books were closed. There
is no remedy in the latter case, and
we do not see how. under the letter
of law, one can be applied in the for
mer. AS we said before, however,
the Supervisor will be guided by the
decision of the State Registrar, what
ever that may be.
Under the misrepresentation that
registration should end, under the
law, at least ten days before the cleo
ton, notice was given by the Super
visor that his books would be closed
on Friday, the 9th. The law pre-
scribes however, that a delay of only
nine days shall elapse between the
completion of registration and the
election. The office of the Supervisor
will, therefore, remain open until z
O'Clock Saturday evening next, Octo-
Der %.
AS we have predicted the registra-
ton of voters in Ascension will ex-
coed 1000, but may fall slightly below
this number when the revision is COM
pieted and the names of all disquali-
fled persons are stricken from the rolls.
The work of revision will commence
Wednesday next, the 25th inst. In
our next Issue we will give the total
registration, number of whites, num-
Der of c,lored voters, and such other
statistics as the Supervisors books
will afford.

The Democratic lamnaign.

The usual weekly meeting of the
Fourth Ward Tilden and Nichols
club occurred at the d. S. c. B. Hall
last Saturday evening, attracting a
fair attendance. Addresses were made
by Judge Sims, Henry L. Duffel, ESQ,
n. Ii. Wilson and others. We were
not present, aud hence can not give a
synopsis of the remarks of the speak
ers. We understand that Mr.. Duffel
confined himself mainly to an on
slaught upon his ancient bette noir, the
Tax Collector, essaying to show that
that official had collected commissions
amounting to forty per cent. upon
certain taxes. This calculation was
arrived at by including the usual and
legal fee of twenty five cents for
each notice served upon the tax pay
err. which has for years been a part
and parcel of the legitimate revenues
of the official entrusted with the col
lection of taxes. The complaint said
to have been made by the speaker
that separate notices have been issued
for State and parish taxes aud the fee
charged upon each, is effectually met
by the fact that never since the pres
ent Collector has been in office have
the parish authorities been ready to
order the levy of the parish tax until
weeks, and in some instances months,
after the levy OF the State tax.
As we did not hear the speech of Mr..
Daffel, and have received only dis
connected and brief reports of his ut
terances, we shall not attempt to take
lengthy issue with him. Suffice it TO
say that the Tax Collector seeks to
evade none of his official actions and
is willing to submit the question of
his performance of duty either to the
test of intelligent, unbiased pdhlic
opinion or to the authorities of the law.
Great enthusiasm WAS caused among

Final Rallies Of the Campaign.

According to the direction of the
Republican campaign committee four
mass meetings will be held on Sunday
October 90, as follows:
At Mount Houmas plantation, sixth
ward, commencing at 10 o'clock A. III.

mencing at i o'clock P. NJ.

NJ.
The following local speakers have

Registration still progresses in a
manner quite satisfactory to all CON
cernet, excepting perhaps those whose
political sympatllies lead them to de-
sire a greater increase in the regis
tration of whites or smaller one in
that of coi0ied voters. 1t is apparent
that, unless our Democratic friends
can secure much greater number of
the votes of colored men than they
have ever heretofore been able to do,
the Republican majority in Ascension
will be increased by several hundred
over any previous figures. According
to the best opinion we are able to form
at present, the colored votes cast for
the Democratic candidates viii be
fully offset by the white votes which
will be given for the Republican
ticket, and we are hopeful that the
latter will even exceed the former by
a considerable proportion. If ante
election assertions are worth any
thing, a number of whites who have
never before affiliated with the Re-
publican party will this time vote its
ticket. Be this as it may, we think
all will readily acknowledge that the
registration has been fairly and equit-
ably conducted. The only dispute
which has arisen, we believe, was
caused BY the refusal of the Super
visor to register one or two young
men who will attain their majority
pending the close of registration and
the holding of the election. Members
of the Democratic parish committee
asked that these parties be registered,
and advanced an official opinion of
the State Registrar III support of their
demand. Our Supervisor doubts If
the simple opinion OF his superior
officer can be regarded as mandatory,
and expresses his intention of submit
ting the point to the Stale Registrar
and asking for specific Instructions in
the premises. There is but one form
of oath provided for persons applying
for registration, and this includes an
asseveration that the applicant is
twenty -one years Of age. Of course
a person who has not attaiued that
age can not truthfully subscribe to
the oath, and we know of no provision
of law which authorizes the Supervisor
to modify it. 1t may seem unjust to
