Register. — l he Charlottesville
Chronicle pus the whole question of
registration in a nut shell by using this
foreiole and happy illustration : When
you march to meet tho enemy you
load your piece; if it is not loaded iti
will not fire. You ought to register!
whether you vole or not: you ought
to put yourself in a jiosition to vote if
the oecasi '.a demands it. If you do
not register you cannot vote. Remem- i
Ler this now, the books aro opened.
The Lincoln (N. C ) Courier learn?
from a reliable source that freciknen
are being shipped from various points
on the Southern coast —ostensibly as
free emigrants to Liberia, but in reali
ty to be disposed of as slaves to Cuban
planters. A gentleman from South
Carolina, a prominent leader during
the war, purchased, a few weeks ago,

Mexico—The Indians. —The New
York Herald of the 28th ultimo, ad
vocates the wiping out of tho Indians
aud the establishm nt of an American
protectorate fur Mexico, and says:—
“These ques’ions of Mex’co and ‘.he
Indiacß have become of such national
importance that they must take their<
place in the political issues of the day
and be settled hy the direct action of
the people.”
Murder in Tennibsee. —Two ot
Brownliyw’s rounders murdered a harm
less, inoffensive man at Ashlan j City,
twelve miles from Na-hviHe, a few
days ago, for do other cause than that
he happened to belong to the other
party. The murderers fled to Nash
ville, and were arrested in the oflice ot
the Governor, and committed to jail.
They had probably been reading some
of the Governor’s proclamations, ani
thought no doubt ho would protect
them under any circumstances.
Con guess. —This body met on the
31. There was a quorum in both boos
es, and the work so much feared through
out the whole country—North and
South—has commenced. The House
committee on reconstruction consistsof:
Stevens, as chairmau; Buutwell, Bing
ham, Farnesworth, Hubbard, Beaman
Paine, Pike and Brooks who is the on
ly Democrat on the committeee. They
hare concluded to restrict legislation to
the reconstruction programme. Seven
of the eight Kentucky members were
prevented from taking seats, by protest,
oa the ground that, they had aided the
rebellion—thereby cutiiug eff that ma
ny Democratic votes. A joint resolu
tion of thanks to Gen. Sheri lan for his
adhesion to the whims of the Radical
party, was passed. Also, resolution of
thanks to Sickles, Pope and Schofield,
adopted. Gen. Ord, who went to work
under tne construction of the Attorney
General, is left out in the cold. We
think they have Honored him in the
eyes of the worid more than any of
those they bava applauded.
No doubt every thing necessrry to pre
vent the legal admission of the South be
fore the neat President il eketion willbe
done. This is one reason Thad had lor
calling the so-called Congress together;
nod then be has not quite sufficient re

‘A ccTto man had hired himself to

for 8150. A. admitfe.d the contract as
alleged by the negro, and admited that

length of t : me for which the negro
claimed wages. 3be case was subif'R
ted to tho negro jury, under the charge
of the court, and to the astonishment of
all present, they brought in a verd ct in
favor of tbs p’aintif for 110. The Judge
told them he did not sco how they could
render such a verdict; that the negto
plaintiff was clearly entitled, by the ad
mission of Mr. A., t > $l5O. A large )
dirty, greasy juryman raised up in the
jury box, snd with much gravity inform
his Honor that sll per month was all
tlunegro’s services were worth; that
he knew the plaintiff to be a triQiog, la
zy scoundrel, and that the jury would
not allow Lim any more’ O temporal

of course had no enu-e for complaint at

of the first week of court in Houston,
the negro jury were paid off at the rate

i grocs besieged he court house to getnp
jon the jury. One old crippled negro
I stopped the Judge on his way to court
; and begged for a place on the jury, urg

dition as a reason why ho should be se
lected : and fuither proposed to tsk e
the job of sitting on the jury by the

' this was »n artful dodge of bis Honor to

The Boston Post says of the Mexi
cans : Good men there are amoDg them,
no doubt; but rare as drift wood upon
the ocean. Their domestic wars have
always been characterized by the
most savage barbarities. YVhen they
have had a recognised government its
power has been exercised in acts of
trespass upon all foreigners within its
jurisdicj >n, and when call 'd to account
has a! ways refused reparation. That
miserable old scamp who sold himself
to General Houston, to President Polk,
to Maximilian, and cheated all three,
is a fair type of Mox’can rulers, and no
more a child of sin than most of them.
The shooting off Maximilian was a cow
aidly act, and if any new atrocity could
add to the disgrace of Mexico, his blood
would sink tho nation to its lowest
point of degradation in the eyes of the
civiliz 'd world. The very government
that condemned him was no more legit
mate than his own. Juarez ended his
constitutioal term of office long ago,,

Juarez being in control retains Lis place

The C oloredl People of Mobile.
Montgomery, Ai.a , June 29.—L. 8
Berrv, first vJce president of the late
Republican State Convention, and
eight other colored men of Mobile,
have addressed an appeal ta General
Sway He, setting forth tho condition of
the colored people of Mobile, political
ly and otherwise. They declare they
are denied rights in courts, and many
odious provisions of the State code, to
all intents, remain in full force, to their
oppression. The civil rights ti 1 has
secured no practical good to the col
ored race, and is a dead letter. The
grand jury has refused to indict per
sons for its violation, in forcibly eject
ing blacks from street cars. The courts
afford them no remedy without milita
ry aid, and they are without redress
,for obtaining immediate rights. They
claim that they should be given posi
turns under the city government; that
they are proscribed and refused em
ployment by political enemies, and are
competent to fill one-half the places in
the police department without preju
dice to the city’s interest aud w ilh
great benefit to colored people. The
authorities, they say, pander to the
Conservative dement to the prejudice
of the rights and privileges ol colored
men. No action has yd been taken
lon ibis appeal, which is evidently in
spired by Radical leaders and w ill in
crease animosity between the two
races
Mr. F. C. Adain j , a Northern man,
who has written a book entitled ‘‘The
Siege of Washington,” pays a great
tribute to the illustrious chief Magis
trate of the dead Confederacy, and
says in it that if Jefferson Davis had
taken the side of the North ins ead ol
the South, .n the late war, and been
placed in supreme command of the
Northern armies, ho would, ftom his
military experience, his knowledge ol
men, his grasp of mind, aud his iron
will, have so used the immense resour
ces of the North and West as to crush
the South in or.u year from the com
mencement of hostilities.

Tub I’reedmkn’s School Celebra
tion. — By invitation, we, t "ether w ith
several other cit’zons attended the cel
ebratic ti or closing exercises of the
freeelmen’s school of Dawson, on Sat
urday last. We first repaired to their
church, in “Thomp onville,” which is
getting to be quite a village on the
North side of tho railroad, inhabited
by tho freedmen, where a considerable
audienco were gathered. Hero we
li-tened to a speech by Dr. T 11.
Stewart, which was delivered in 'his
usual eloquent and impressive style.—
His remarks were principal y upon t 1 e
general subject of education, and its
great importance to all classes at this
time. Short, speeches of commenda
tion and encouragement were also de
livered by Rev Mr. Spence, Mayor
Brown and the writtr. These services
weie closed in a suitable manner by
John Whitaker (colored) when a pro
cession of the school and visitors was
formed, to proceed to a very well ar
ranged table, loaded with reviling vi
ands to the most fastidious tastes. —
The utmost order prevailed through
out the day and every thing passed off'
in a manner in every respect credita
ble to our colored population.
Walrus.-ia. —About these days,
manufacturers if almanacs have their
annual opportunity to record the fact
that, for a while, it is now perpetual day
at the North pole, since tho sun, at this
season, does not dip below the horizon.
The B i.-ton Transcript says: “In Ice
land the finest print can be read at any
hour for many weeks to come.” The
same phenomenon obtains in tho remoter
regions of Wa'russia, and if it Ui's
“many weeks,” it w uld seem to affird
a faverab’c opportunity for some other
wise unoccupied Walrussian to get
through with Sumner’s speech.

Enclosing Hand dills in News

sent /orty-nine papers to the Wilming

Grain in Europe. —The London
Mercantile Gazette surveys the various
grain countries of Europe, to ascertain
tho prospect of future supplies. In
England, all looks well, and no defiei
ency is apprehended. In Paris, the
stocK of floor is the largest ever hel 1,
amounting to 800,000 ewte. Consid
eiahle shipments are making to Eng
and direct from France, but the Uni
ted Kingdom is mainly dependent on
I tho Black Seaports. The lift harvest
in the South of Russia having been
very abundant, tire exports !rom that
quarter are expected to reach 2,000,-
000 quarters. The conclusion is that
scarcity is out of the question.
Maid Service at hie South.—The
National Intdln/enytr understands that
the Southern mail servico, restored as
befotc the war, which went into opera
tion on the Ist instant, includes about
one thousand rouuds, and is as com
pletely under contract with responsible
parties as at any former period. No ef
fort has been spared by the department
to furnish the very best services in ro
gard to the frequency oftrijs aud best
connections, so that the most remote
part of each State be literally webbed
with post oflices.

Ihur.rCL J.isrmtiNo Stroke.—A
fearful emmnlity from the foil of u,
thunderbolt occurred at Buffalo on
Thursday of last week. The Express
of the following day, says:
The lightning struck one of the
sheds which contain' and men, women
mid 1 torses. About u hundred persons
were paralyze 1 in an instant, falling on
their f ic.es, fled as many ns fifty wore
rendered insensible for five or ten min
utes, while u dozen wore quite serious
ly burned. Two ho ses were kil e l
fn tho spot. An old gentleman nam
ed John Gordenwr, and two or three
others are not expected to recover
One woman was prostrated and de
prived of her senses hut not her pow
ers ol locomotion; sho instinctively
gathered hei st If up and ran to the bus
and was conveyed to Holmes’ Hotel,
and declares site had r:o knowled '<i of
what took place alter the ll t-h, until
she found herself in a room at the
house.
The lightning struck a post in the
ccn er of tho shed, against which Hen
ry Tillou, tho landlord of the West
Falls Hotel, Wits leaning, and to which
a horse was attached bv a chain hal
ter. 'The horse was killed instantly,
while Mr. Tillou escaped by being
glazed and knocked down. A singu
lar luct mentioned in connection with
tho strango freak of the electric fluid
is that all the persons rendered insen
sible fell upon their faces.
The most fearful consternation ex
isted among the oeople until it was
discovered now light the injuries were
that had been afflicted, and the excite
ment was mo t intense A great many
attributed the stroke to the atfadion
(>f a moving machine winch stood near
the shed, but two boys who were sit
ting on it at the time escaped uninjur
ed. nor was the machine at all damag
ed if struck.
Remarkable Discovery. —A few
dayß ago while some workmen were ex
cavating a cellar in Bulk township, in
Monroe county, Indiana, tbe workmen
struck what at first appeared to boa
solid ledge of rock, and sitting down to
rest, one of their number began idly to
p ck at an apparent sis u e, when a bh ck
of itono, nearly too feet tqaarp, disap
peared with a dull thump The men
went eagerly to work and removing tho
bottom of tbe pit, disclosed a chamber
w>h a six foot ce 1 eg, and eightc n by
wenty-two feet within the wi Is, which
are of gelid, neatly seamed stone work.
Ranged in rows, oa ruddy constructed
platforms, were twelve skeletons, each
with a tomahawk and arrow heads at
their sides, car rings and bracelets of
solid s lver ly iog where they dropped,
aud piles of what appeared to have been
furs in the centre of the pla'form, each
pile crumbling to dust as soon as expos
ed to the light. A number of tools,
made of copper and h-rdaned equal to
the best east-steel were also urn arthed,
and fresh discoveries arc being cons.ant
ly made.

Soon a Convention will assemble to

When it does, urd , that instrument is

Now all prov’ui n cl this errs is stal

The attenu.once was almost exclusive

was about the sizt>‘ of tie “Wilson

notice with pleasure that many respect

appeared ii;>on the arena, unless we
inciude Foster Blodgett, who can
hardly be counted as ei'her fish, flesh

General Schofield, in his reply to the
inquiry from Winchester, relative to the
Alexandria Constitution dislranohise

He says the Virginia State Government
being “illegal,” tie does not perceive
how i‘ could ands rmchieo anybody. Thi.*
is a blow between the eyes o the p rjury

an ‘illegal govern meet’ to 1 ,vy taxes, to
