WHILE ON PAROLE
Interesting Story of C. A. R
Veteran Who Was in Prison
Here in 1863.

Mr.. Charles Richardson, a G. A. r.
Veteran. from NIilwa ukee. Wis. who is
here seeing the sights with his comrades,
told an interesting story Of his prison
life in this city in 1868. to q Times repre-
sentative at Murphy's Hotel last night.
Mr.. Richardson was captured in Mo-
vember, 1868, by the Confederates. and
brought here and placed in Libby Prison.
In January, 81, he says, G1r. w. A. r.
Nye foreman on the old Richmond
Wing came to the prison and asked II
there were any printers in confinement
there Mr.. Richardson responded that
that was his trade, and then the fore
man asked if he would accept a position
if parole could be secured. The pris-
oner replied in the aIrlrmative. and soon
the foreman returned with a pardon sign
ed by John Winder, who was provost
marshal Of the city.
He went to work at the case on the
Wing and remained there until February
18th when the escape of 100 Federal
prisoners by means Of a tunnel caused
the calling in Of all prisoners on parole.
Mr.: Richardson says that once while on
duty he was sent for by Mr. W1nder,
who examined his pass and told him to
return to work. On his way back to
the Wing Office he was picked I'm by a
provost guard and taken before yVinder.
..The worst cussing I ever heard was
given that guard by Winder.'' said Mr.
Richardson.
Ii Mr.. Richardson is a most pleasant gem
tleman. and says he saw a great many
things Of interest during his prison life
here. He delights to relate the story
of working on a Southern paper while
a prisoner Of war in the enemy's coun-
try. and his experience is regarded a
quite UNIQUE onaI .sg.E rs 81.

A DECISION IN ALEXANDRIA
A Question Of Residence That May At
feet Many vo,ers-The Registrars
Are Closing Up the Work
in DinwiddIe.

Especial Dispatch to The rimes-)

ALEXANDRIA,, VA, Oct 9.-The reg
;str,t,on for this city will be concluded
at 6 o'clock tomorrow night, when the
hooks of the Third Ward are closed. Inc
total number OF votes now registered IS
i 20 and Of this number 1,aSS are White
and 132 colored and less than one hun
bred more will be added when the WORK
is completed These figures sho" a vast
difference between the vote cast IN the
last Presidential election. for IN tnat elec-
ton the total vote OF the city was o,4ol'
or a falling off Of 1.432 votes.
The new registration has proved death
blow to the negro. for there are at least
q thousand negro voters in the city. and,
as will be seen by the above figures, 132
registered, In round numbers only about
oae-tenth A little over one-half Of the
white voters registered.
The city will now have cleaner set OF
books than it ever had before. Prior to
the new registration 1t seemed almost inn
possible to really tell who was and who
was not a voter Many lived In Wash
;ngton. the county and elsewhere, and
came here to vote, thereby swelling the
run,ber of voters. Now all this has been
dcne away with. and it will in the long
run prove beneficial to both parties.
Any fraud or attempted fraud that
might have heretofore been carried to a
successful issue III dix eiSCtiOii - HOW d
thing of the past. During the registra-
ton Of this city few whites were turned
down, but large percentage of the col
ored people who offered to register were
turned down. Most of those who regis
tered got in on some clause other tsan
the understanding clause. When it came
to explain what was meant by certain
sections OF the State Constitution it
proved too much for the colored man,
and he invariably stepped aside. After
ascertaining that it would be useless for
them to offer to register unless they were
capable Of giving some explicit explana-
ton Of the Constitution. many Of the me-
groe:. kept away from the registration
booths, thereby saving the trouble and
humiliation of being turned down.
The registration by wards, as completed
up to the present time, is as follows:

The Salt In the Ocean.

The ocean was once merely brackish
and not salt, Vas it is now. This was
wlfen the earth was in its first youth
and before there was any land show
ing at all or any animal life in the wa
ter. At this time the water was grad
ually cooling from its original state of
steam, and the salts were slowly I'M
dergoing the change from gases into
solids Then came the appearance of
land and, later ON. rivers, which grad
ually washed down more and more
salts, while at the bottom of the ocean
itself chemical action was constantly
adding more brine to the waters. At
present it is estimated there are III the
wOrld's oceans 100000 cubic miles of
salt, and the most astonishing thing
about it is that if all the salt could be
taken out in moment the level of the
water would not drop one single inch.

serve order and compel respect for law
for nearly two months past. That is
the duty of the State. 1t has fur
nished the operators all the protection
they need for the mining of the neces-
sary coal. They are public service
corporations which control the mines,
just as much as the railroad, or the gas
or electric light company. The obli-
cations of the mine owners are we'll
defined. The plea that their men will
not work will not protect them against
their obligations to the public. They
can not continue to sit down and fold
their arms in inaction. The people
await their supply of fuel. They can
only get it from these corporations. If
they are unwilling or unable to fur
nish it, then the natural right exists
on the part Of the State, representing
the people, to step in and supply the
public needs. @A
Without reference at all to the right
or wrong of the existing controversy,
this is the situation which confronts
the mine owners and coal carriers, and
they can not get away from it.
