The pot begins 10 boil with increasing
feryor as the day OF trial draws on apace.
There Is evidently good deal OF suppressed
excitement among the people on the streets,
though nothing that looks like ill.feeing or
any breach Of order. The Radical and Re-
adiuster leaders, acting 10 concert, are spe-
cialiy active. The application made 20 Judge
Garland, OF the Hastings Court, 10 have The
books Of registration re0pcned 10 the Third
Ward, TO allow new negro entries, was re.
fused by him on the ground That Colonel
NJ :. Langborne refused no applications
prior 10 the closing II the books on the
night Of the 23d, according to the stare law
Considerable excitement has been caused
by manGuyre made 10y Mr.. Massey, the
First Auditor OF Virginia, to get in the
head.taxes here OF delinquent taxes 1t
seems that one day last week W. o. Craw'
ford received authority from Massey to col
lect delinquent capiatiOn-iaXes in the city.
Crawford AT once went into conference with
the Re2djuster managers here and opened
his Office IN 4 negro lOdgerO0m on Ninth
street. Two hundred negro head-taxes
were paid to him, without any application
being made by him to any white man for
his tax. To-day Crawford was sum-
moned before Judge Garland 10 show what
authority he had for collecting taxes, and
could produce no. hing more than telegram
from Massey. The Judge decided that such
paper constituted no authority at all, and
ruled that Crawiord's receipts were void
and did not enable those who held them TO
vote. This may occasion some msunder-
standing tomorrow. a great many negroes
are idling about the streets to-day. The
officers will stand firm, however, and no
votes except those which the law allows
will be east in LyDcbburg.
Rev. A. {. BIedsQe made appropriate al
fusion IN his sermon Yesterday morning to
the recent death OF Bishop DOggett. Mr..
Bledsoe's term at Cour.Street expires with
this Conference, and there is great anxiety
among the congregation 10 know who will
succeed him. No man can surpass him in
the efficiency OF his service and the atfec-
ton OF his flock.
Rev. r. VI. Carson, having returned from
New York, preached yesterday at ST. PauPs.
Rev. j. VI. Rawlings, having returned
from the Synod, preached at the Second
Presbyterian church yesterday.
The impression is mistaken among Com
seryatiyes that fuckers election is assured.

up from Petersburg TO be bet on Frazier.
