comes most natnral-is identified
with the people in memories of
wrongs inflicted by his opponent,
with them in their struggles in
which he never proved wanting or
weak, who has earned for his district
and himself a national reputation,
and advancing their material and
political interests, is still rising in
influence and fame, with II future
almost assured as one Of the leading
lights of the incoming Democratic
administration. The solid claims and
undoubted advantages here shown
should not be thrown away. Indeed,
it would he little short of madness
and base ingratitnde in the people
OF the Second District to overlook
such coge"t reasons for the trium-
l'hant reelection of their present
representative in Congress. His re-
will be their loss, not his,
since it is quite we'll known that his
services in public affairs are too
highly appreciated not to be recog.
nizel with a position even more
elevated than that which he now 80
wOrthily and acceptably fills.
We do not cntrrtain,, however,
any doubt of Nj. Ellis, since we are
not permitted by past devotion to
question the loyalty Of the Demo.

only to give voice to the feeling in

Dear Sir-The registration in the

not registered. The cololed popll.
'atlon "vinces far more vigilance
than the whites and are much
more Jealous of their rights of citi.

day, noticed 4 planters cart with at
least fifteen coloreh lahorers com
ing to e that their names were
properly placed on the book. while
the planter himself is not register,
ed. Although the courteous officer
OF registration had advertised in
the official paper and sent posters
everywhere, stating the dates and
places for registration during this
month, some Of our worthy citizens
claimed that they did not know
anything about it ; and it was with
il great deal of pains that we snc.
ree.ied in getting y respectable
Will'e registration here. Judge
Ulysses Mclancon displayed credita.
bic energy in hunting up all resi-.
dent Democrats aud sending them
to register.

60 faithful keeper and friend, John Ridg-
worth %
When Detective Grover reached Wath,
these facts were narrated to him. On
seeing the remains of George Sandman,
he Immediately identified the dead man
as the person hitherto known as William
Jones. Without saying a word, he
sought the presence of Ridgworth, the
keeper, expecting to recognize In him
the peddler. He was not disappointed.
To be brief, Ridgworth ultimately con-
fessed that he shot George Sandman,
and related the story of their long associa-
ton.
Ridgworth was formerly the groom of
Georges uncle, by whom George and
his sister were brought up. George had
grown very wild and had made away
with large amount CT money, so that
his uncle swore that he would disinherit
him and leave all his money to his neice.
The uncle subsequently had an attack of
paralysis, and after he had recovered,
found that George had sold three of his
best horses and spent the money. His
uncle sent for lawyer, and made will !,
as was supposed, in favor of Georges
sister. George was informed by the
servants that the lawyer was to bring the
will next day for signature. That night
Ridgworth was in attendance on his old
master, who was subject to occasional
fits of insanity and needed watching. In
the middle of the night George entered
the bedroom, and, with the aid of Ridg-
