Mnny question* have been naked con
cerning the mode of registering voter*,
and there aecm* to bo uit Itnpreeaiou
among aome thnt it will bo done in u
manner almilar to the listing of tnx pny-
era. Not ho, however, a a the following
from a Washington paper, concerning
the registration of voter* in a ward in
that city, will ahow, Afb r o mention
of the place at which the registration
wan held, the article reads thus ;
"The acenn wna one of much interest.
Probably two hundred perrons were
prtagut during the time; each person
upon In-lug registered passing out of tliu
l«tildiMg into the streot by a' lopurnte
passu gu wav— the room being divided
l»y a row of benches, and nil confusion
Wing thus avoided. Five chnllsogcr*
were present, two whiten and three col
ored, nil o.d rvaidents in the ward, and
well acquainted with tho«e residing
thCrehi. A polico force wit* on liaud to
preserve order should their services be
required, but there uppeared tu be at
disputation whatever to crontu n dislur-
htuipe of any kind. Rut comparatively
few persona were vhallvnged. In sud

then required to reply to the following
Interrogatories ;

Construction, ne tlio best, and, indeed,
only alternative left us. Them is, how
ever, a difference na wide as the poles be
tween the animus and motives which ac
tuated tlm late opposing parties, though
resulting In their apparent union*
The Governor's wisdom w as of the
selfish character; and his recommenda
tion* at thnt stage of the drrtmn par
took too much of servility to please m
proud and high-minded people, still un
subdued in their conceptions of honor
and duty. In other words, there wna an
indecent haste nml almost quasi j y
ovinced in his oagurncsH to sanction
terms which were not yet a finality, and
pregnant with slmmuand humiliation.
On the other hand, the noblo Ia*o and
hi* compotriots, counsel acquicsonco and
cooperation in the proposed plan, hu-
ciiiisb the argument has been exhausted,
and Congress in its confiscation resolu
lions, bus shown i self capable of oven
greater inquisitionul tortures, than those
already inflicted upon it* passive nml
unoffending victims.
It is like the surrender of tlm great
uhieltuin when every avenue of escape
was closed, and a cordon of bristling
bayonets und gaping cunnou hemmed in
his s'.riakcnod and dce.inmted band. T
spare the useless effusion of blood ho
grounded Mm arms. Bo, now, to shield
his beloved South from deepor, durkei
depths of misery and ruin, ho says, of
fer no contuinuoious and unav ailing op
position to power irresistible, but sub
mil, and gather up and conserve the few
fragment* of right* and prlvlllgss, to be
plucked from the funeral pyre of otir
constitutional liboi ties. Oar protest in
upon record ; ourrenion*triitices and en
treaties Imvo been unheeded.
The stern despotism that rules with
remorfldutis severity lias issued it* ukase,
und partial diHfrnnclii*cment, and uni
versal suffrage are the proffered terms
of pacification. Reject these, and now
horrors await us in uholsule confiscation,
and the final ruin of the entire South.
Every dictate of good senso nod pru-
denco therefore enjoin us, cheerfully, to
go about tlm work of reconstruction, rc
solved to do nil in our power to render
Icbh burdensomo and galling, the yoke
whieh has been imposed upon us. Be
cause wo lire defeated mid overwhelmed
at every point, let us not like spoiled
hildren sit down In sullen silence, mid
efuso tlm few crumbs of comfort within
our reach. Ah stated in a former urti-
ele, we believe our colored pcoplo can bo
tuught, and will soon loin a that thoii
old owners aro thoir bust and most dis
interested friends.
Imt us tuko tlio iuiativo then in the
groat task of elevating und educating
the ignorant tuns ol Africa, and qualify
ing them an speedily as possible fur the
tunv dignities which have boon thrust
upon thorn.
To do thin, the first effort should bo to
establish cwJMtne between the two
race*. Wo should assure the negroes
that they noed not resort to darkness
and secrecy when they desire to com
imiiiu together upon thoir future plans
and prospects. I.et them proclaim open
ly tlio «lay und hour of ilmir mootings,
and their white brethren will attend al
so, and, if desired, aid them with thoir
counsel anil advice. I ot ns assure them
that our interests and future prosperity
are in fm-t similar and identical. That
they should look wiili distrust nnd bus-
pleiou ujam all who como secretly
among them, to extort money, under tlm
pociyus pretext of protecting nud pro
moting their rights.
Already these emissaries Imvo ronp.
cd n rich harvest from the credulity nnu
ignmnneo of the blucks.
Wo tuko picusuro in stating in this
connection however, that thoir legal
guardian in this District, Col. Guebol,
will take every measure to frustrate tha
actions of those unprincipled interlopers,
and will expose und punish them moat
severely when detected. If the above
lino of policy, to which we will hereaf
ter again advert bo adopted universally
by our citizens, the best results may fol
low. Bhould it fail and another chap
ter of misery be added to the s:id liisto
ry of tho descendants of Hum, tlio blood
of a ruined raoe will forever attach to
tho skirts of tlm fanatical horde who pre
cipitated till* disaster.
9&T A correspondent of tho MiJlcdpe-
ville Recorder, w riting frtmi the viciuity
of Abbeville, Wilcox county, advise* the
WUo arc A (Tected by tli« Can-
Ntlfiitioiml AinciHlntciirt and
the Military Lpw,
Many inquiries having been made n»
to tho extent of the qfccltuionn from tho
franchise and tho right to hold office
under tho Constitutional amendment
nnd tho Military Inw, wo again publish
un explanation upon this subject, which
was prepared snmo timo sinco lor tho
Atlanta New Era by ono of the first le
gal mind* in tho Btutc of Georgia.
It will bo borno in mind that nil per-
aoiutUXcliided from holding office and
from tho franchise by the (Tonstitutionnl
Amendment are, by the fifih section of
the Military law, ineligible to election n*
member* of n convention to frame nn
amended State constitution or io vote
for mombors of tuch convention ; while
tlio BiipploinoiJtary hilt, without touch
ing thft*o cases, provides tlio qnnliljcu-
tions and oath to be taken by nil per
sons who desire to register ns qualified
voters. 'J’ho oath of July 2, 18051, com
monly known u* the ‘‘iron clad,” nnd
which contains tho clnuso thnt tho per-
»n mnking oath has not voluntarily giv-
ii “aid, countenance, couiiHel, or on-
countgement" to pcrsonH engaged in
armed hostility to tho Government of
tho United Btnte*, is required to bo tak
en only by persons elected or appointed
any nfUeo of honor or profit under
tho Government of tiie United States.
Thhi inith, therefore, ha* nothing to do
with the qualification of voters or of del
egates to nny convont ion that may bo
hold ill uny of the excluded Southern
States.
It in beltsved, says tho Atlnntu New
Era, our people do not generally under-
stand who aro affected by the constitu
tional uiwndmont and etui tided from
office und from tlm ballot-box by tho lute
bill.
Tho following person* nro exploded :
1st. All persons who, before tbo war,
wore members of Congress or officers of
tho United States nml took nn onth to
support tho Constitution of the United
States and nftorwarda engaged in tho
rebellion. 2d All perrons who, prior
fo tbo war, were executive, legislative
or judical officers of the State and took
tlm like oath, und engaged io the rebel
lion. This imbrnces governor* member*
of tho legislature, nnd judicial officers
from ii judge of tho Supremo Court down
to o justice of tho pence, w ho, nt any
CumpnvRtivft Number of
M illie ami lilack Voters In
Georgiu under flic Rhenium
Bill.
Our usually correct cotemporary, of
the Mnov-n Journal & Messenger, m in
error In supponing tlmt there are but
twenty-seven counties in tlm State in
which the blacks have n majority of vo
ters. Wo Imvo before us tliu lax returns
for 18G6, and from these it appears that,
in addition to tho counties named by the
Messenger, there were a. majority of
negro "polls,” which embraces male
adults ubovo the age of twenty-onuand
under sixty in tho following counties :
linker, Calhoun, Chattahoui hoc, Deca
tur, Dougherty, Early, Elbert, Houston,
Ia‘i», Liberty, Lincoln, Lowndes, Macon,
Meriwether, Mitchell, Quitman, II.
dolph, Schley, Stewart, Sumter, Terrell,
Thomas, Troup, Twiggs, nud Warren.
These tax tables show, also, that two
of tho counties given in tho Messenger
im Imv.rig u majority of negroes, to wit :
Bryan and Chuthum, Imvo now u majori
ty of white male adults. They show
also, that the whole number of llmcoum
ties which have a majority of blacks i«
forty-five. Wo give below a full list of

They had our distinguished fellow-
citizen of Ohio, General Joe Geiger, lie-
ore the Impeachment Committee the
other day. The stern und frizzly Ash
ley was there as prosecuting attorney
"in tho nurno of the American people,”
etc., to try him. They commenced
pouring n perfect volley of interrogations
at Joseph, to hi* utter bewilderment.
Finally, said the witness: “Hold on,
Ashley ; just wait u minute. Am I on
trial, or in Andy Johnson ; I’d like to
know, *o that I can fix up my answers to
suit ?" This matter wns settled snlis-
ftctorily, nnd the examination | r >cccded.
They asked Jos if he had been to Con
necticut to muko speeches. Jim: said he
had. They asked him if hin expcn‘e*
were paid by the government. Joe said
♦ hey wore not. They asked him if hi*
salary was paid while ho wo* thus em
ployed. Joe said it was, und ho sup-
jMiatffl nil was right, because lie met sev
ers! Congreusrncn on tho stump in Con-
neeticirf, w hose salaries were being paid
during their absence from Washington.
Some idea of tho manner in which
tbo farce in being conducted may bo
had from the fact thnt tho committee,
before summoning Geiger, l.nd ascer
tained expressly how long lie harl been
at Washington, how rnm li his bill nt
Willard’s bad been, nnd who had paid
it. They hod n copy of tho board bill
before them when they examined him.
Now, in nil seriousness, Wt this beau
tiful nnd creditublc work for a commit
tee of Congress, charged with an inves
tigation i f tho conduct of the President
of the United Htutes, to be nt ? Isn't it
slightly finical to hunt for high crimes
nnd misdemeanors under board nnd
washing bill* nt Willard’s ? Is thu
offenne for which a President mny be im
peached likely to bo liiddon nwny in
hu. h nn obscuro place as that ?

Day by day, in public and in private,

Univkksal SurroAOc.—The proposi-1
taut in Mr. Wilson’* bill, now before the
Senate, to cnforco universal suffrage
throughout all tho Status is threatening
tbo harmony «(Ihe U.olical patty. The
plan is urged by tho extremists ns the
easiest and most effective way of settling
the vexed question; hut the recent refu
sals, say ft the Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, of the Radicals iti
New York, Connecticut nnd -Wisconsin,
nnd Now Jersey, to extend the franchise
to the negroes, will have tho effect to
produce serious dissensions in tbo rank*
of the party both in and outrof Congress.
The elements of discord are accumu
lating with gratifying rapidity in the
councils of those who nre seeking the
