THE Poll LIsT.-We learn that there is some
doubt in the public mind rs to how the poll lists
for the coming elections to be made out.
Section l9 of the law says = d" During the
period Of ninety days next preceding any cleo
ton appointed or authorized by law, the Board
of Registration (which is composed of the Clerk
and Judges of Election shall make out
nm alpha list according to surnames OF all
persons residing in such district and entitled to
be enrolled = and it is hereby made
incumbent on every person who is or may be on
the day OF such election qualified to vote thereat
to apply and see that he is duly enrolled for that
purpose The next section provides that the
Clerk, when the Board is not in session, shall
enter upon the poll list subject to the revision
and correction OF the Board, the names OF all
persons residing in his district enrolled IN the
7ert preccdiaG poll list made out in pursuance OF
this Act, and also the names OF all persons found
upon the Great Register of the county whom he
personally knows 10 be, or who by the oath OF
any householder of his district, known TO him,
shall be satisfactorily proved to be bona fds res
idents of his district.


It appears from this that the Clerk of the
Board of Registration must copy on the new poll
list all the names on that of the preceding one,
and add thereto the names of those on the Great
Register and net on the previous poll list who
he knows reside in his district The names thus
obtained the whole Board shall revise, striking
out for cause, such as death or absence from the
district, whom they may be. But while this is
the duty of the Board, it is also the duty of every
voter to examine the list and see that his name
has not been overlooked. Having had a preyions
poll list in this city that must be copied in each
district but as there none in the county

CASYIxG FRUIT.-As the season of fruits is
just commencing, anything that will enable it to
be successfully canned at small expense, will
very much prolong the season. Only those who
have tried it, know the satisfaction derived from
eating a dish of strawberries or peaches in mid
winter as fresh as when gathered. The annexed
method Of canning fruit was furnished to the
New York Farmers Club by Mrs. Powers, of
Oswego county, New York I'll will suppose
your fruit and glass cans are all ready. prefer
cans with glass covers. | scald the fruit in
large tin pan, with juice water to cover it.
Put half a tea cup of cold water into every can

rubbers also into hot water Now empty can

this way the fruit will mould, and will
keep any time, il you don't eat it. The paper
keeps TIE fruit from rising 10 the top of the Ii
qud. There is 70 use of setting cans into wa
ter to heat them or of putting them into quilted
ba@s-it is too troublesome. let the fruit
shrink and then fill up the cover as close as
possible. Ladies must be governed by their own
common sense. Men attempt to give directions,
but their wives have to tell them. and then they

was missed. The servants were suspected
of the theft, and as a knowledge that the ar

next night and faGten the guilt upon who
ever should be caught. All about the house
remained quiet until about two O'Clock,

TIE WIRz TRAGEDY-AsTouNDING REV.
ELATIoN. The Richmond correspondent
of the New York World communicates
the following, which, if true, may well be
regarded as highly important. Unhap-
PLY the circumstances Of the case, and the

this matter, are all Of q nature to credit
this revelation.


at is, perhaps, not generally known
that during the Incarceration ofWirz and
Major Windcr in the Capitol Prison, they
occupied adjoining cells, and enjoyed
facilities of communication, one to the
other, by word or writing, through an
aperture not observed, doubtless, by the
jailor. No one was permitted to see
either, unless by special privilege from
the Secretary of War. On the night
previous to the execution Of Wirz, three
men entered his cell, Of course by per-
mission of Stanton, and proposed TO him
that if he would agree to implicate jeff
Davis in the alleged conspiracy to starve
the Northern prisoners confined at An,
dersonyillc, his life would be spared
Wirz replied that he would not save his
own life by sacrificing that Of another in
noccnt man The parties thcrcupon left
the cell, and Wirz Immediately communi-
Gated all that had transpircd to Major
Windcr, The Major some time after met
Mrs, Davis in New York, and revealed to
her what is here stated, backing it by an
affidavit, which he gave her, and which
she now holds. The trial of Davis would
involve revelations which would shock

/ Gov Throckmorton, of Texas, III 4
letter addressed TO Col. Ashbel Smith, OF
Texas, gives his views concerning the
policy to be pursued by the late insur
rectionary States under the Military Re
construction Act. He writes:


By prompt action in accepting the
selves release from the terrible sus
pcnse, 50 injurious to every interest OF
the country, in which we have been in
volved since the surrender, BY non-ac-
tion we leave the State government to be
controlled 10y the military as long rs il
may please Congress to permit it, with
the certainty in the future that it will be
superseded or abolished. BY such apoli-
cy we. invite further prescriptions and
discriminating legislations, when we are
utterly powerless and unable to avoid any
thing that may be imposed. BY availing
ourselves of the terms offered we may
not preserve liberty yet we may preserve
life all prevent further humiliation. We
may also lay the foundation for future
restoration to perfect equality with the
other States in the Union and we may
/ place ourselves in a condition to aid the
great patriotic masses of the nation in
restoring the nation to its original purity.


feel an abiding confidence that the
people of Texas will not falter or prove
indifferent. Every citizen of the State,
however exalted or humble his sphere,
should feel that his country demands of
him prudent and efficient service, and
that his services may be more potent for
good now than at any future period
Every one who is entitled should register
and vote at the. proper time, and those
who are disfranchised should encourage
others that are not The best and wiseSt
men who are allowed to sit should be Sc

No impcdiment should be thrown in the
way of the newly enfranchised class, but
every reasonable means and encourage
ment should be extended to them, in or
der that they may enjoy without hin
drance their new privileges. They are
in no wise responsible for the present
state Of things, and should this extraor-
dinary enlargement of the right of suf-
frage tend to the destruction Of republi-
can institutions, or to the decentralization
and ruin of the blacks, they are not re
spOnsible. Hereafter they are to be tie

On this same subject, in response to an

"But you cannot and will not remain

can papers of New England, commenting
upon Mr.. Stevens proposed confiscation
measure, says:


Considering that it was no outburst Of
passion, but was prepared in cold blood,
by the oldest and most influential mem
her of the House, il is the indication Of
character and the foreshadowing Of a
policy which should be carefully noted by
the American people. The speech is able,
clearly conceived and tersey expressed:
hut il is pervadcd from beginning to end
with that vindictive and rcmorseless spirit
which is inseparably associated with Mr..

doctrine of forgiveness Of injuries, and
puts his own construction upon the par.

wholly obliterate everything like tender.
ness and mercy from our policy towards
the people Of the South.
