On our first page -will be fund -this im
portant order, and we advl.e a careful reid,
ing. Elsewhere will be found a succinct list
of those who come under the ban of dis
franehisement, so plain and brief that none
can misunderstand. We would urge upon
our people the great duty of registration;
there are some who cannot, but those who
can should by all means do so. Tbat'there
will be a Convention is we think beyond
a donLt, and hence the.necessity of using all
the means 'left us to end:avof to give it a
conservative influence. If you do not regis
ter, whatever the action of the Convention,
whatever its enactments or.laws, and how
ever injurious, you have no power .to vete
against it.. Let4he intelligent men of the
country exert their influence in the only way
left, and by all means be awake to the im
portance- of registering. If only the ignorant
reister, the ruling power is plge'd in the
hapds of those who will wield it to the inju
ryof all.
Whether one votes for the Convention or
against it, it is still his duty to regiSter. And

which there seenrs to be some confusion of

WhoCan Degister.
As much doubt still exists as to who
are entitled to register, and tha-t all who
can should do so, we give, the following
summary from the Mercury, which will
-remove all doubt on the subject:
All^hnaIes of full age whbo have re.sided
in thais8atefawelve months are en
tj)oledegiter and to vote, provided
that they have not been
I. Convicted of felony, or
2. Members of any State Legislature, or
8. Executive or judicial officers of any
State, or
4. Members of Congress of the United
States.
And have not afterwards engaged in
insurrection or rebellion against the
United States or given aid or comfort to
the enemies thereof.
If they have been convicted of felony
they are disfranchised.
' if they are included in either of the
three last of the above four classes, and,
after the holding of office, gave any
voluntary did to the rebellion otr took
lany yoluntartpart in it, they are dis.
franchised.
h' they did not hold any of the offices
named''.t, b ave not been convicted ol
felony, they-ae niot disfranchised, wheth.
er they did or dt ' ot give aid to the re
bell ion or take part the war against
the United States.
If they did hold any ol' the offices
named, but did not engage in the. rebel
lion against the United States or give sid
or comfort to the South, they are not
disfranchised.
1f they did hold any of'the offices name
and did not engage in rehellion: or give
aid to -the South aftet such holding office,
they are not disfranchised, although be
fore such hoiding office they may have
engaged in rebellion or given aid to the
South.'
In-Virginia the following are regarded
as executive or judicial officers within
the meaning of the act:
"Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Sec
retary of State, Auditor of Public Ac
counts, Second Auditor, Registrar of the
Land Office, State Treasurer, Attorney
General, Sheriff, Sergeant of a city or
town, Commissioners of the Revenue,

What is Our Du:y F
MESSRS..EDITORS :-At the conclusion 'f
an artic!e, publishcd in a former number Ff
your paper on the subject which heads this,
I stated that you might hear,froi-me again.
Since-that article was written I have scarcely
had the,heart to resume - the- subjecL the
evidences of indifference in relation- to "the
-great issue now pending, -and soon to- be
decided, which I see all around me, are so
plain that I h 're almost despaired of any
good resulting from anyargutneut or appeal
that can be made, to awaken the people to
Ihe momentous consequences which will
result from the course wh.ich.hey :ay tike.
This sup:u~etcss-this apaThy which pre
rails, is to me a bad omen. I can well
undetstand why the people should be die
ceuiaged-disheartened as to the future
IU.is dark 'and forbidding indeed. But it
niay become darker-more forbidding. It
certeinly will,unles the people arease them
selves aad'-make anefort to ptovide against
dangers ahead. Nothing cs be gained by
naetion, by lying "_upinely oo oar tacks"
and "huggingo the delusive jhantoi'- of
hove." Something uiY be done by skaing
off dte Iethargy. which serns to have be

South Car'olina which has broken down the
ancient landmear -f tfhe Constitution, de
stroyed .tie 37'"Of our fathers, confiscatec
ailiions of property and reduced our peopli
to a condition of poverty and weakns
without a parallel in modern history. Ah
but it Is said, this was all done under
political necessity. What political neces
sity? Because the State would not be
restored to the Union unless these thingi
had been done. This is what President
Johnson and Gov. Perry told us. Ther
it was, that, no concession too ample, n<
submission too humble and penitent, or in
volving sacrifices too great or wrongs to<
flagrant, could be made In order to secure a
.restoration of the State to the Union. The
Convention and the Legislature, whiach-were
convened under the provisional gover-nment
were both told to do this,.-and -to do that
and you will be received with open arms a'
Washington by the powers that be. "Blind
leadin" the blind, they both fall into the
ditch.'? Never was proverb more literally
fulfiled. Johnson apnd Perry both have
proved poor prophets, not as good even al
the oracle of Delphi But the point I would
fi the readers attentiozn upon is, this:
what consistency ia there ina the argument
of Gov. Perry, that to participate in the
execution of the reconstt ction measures of
Congress is dishonorabm and degrading,
because these measures are unconstitutional,
wrong and unjust, when we have already
submitted to, or acquiesced in measures~- of
the very same character, and that too, under
his counsel and advice. I have not enumer
ated all tdie acts of wrong and injustice that
we have submitted to since the close of the
war. They would fill your paper from be
and disgraced as a people?. If not, then we
must look for some other definition of the
word honor. It is urged that the extension
of the right of suffrage to the negro is an
insult and a wrong. Grant it-does he.not
enjoy this franchise in the present condition
of things. Nay more, does he not have the
right to hold office and to sit upon our
juries? By the military authorities he. has
been made the peer of the white man in
the Courts, and I see in the papers that in
North Carolina, the trial by jury, the great
bulwark of liberty, has been abolished, be
cause the orders or that subject from [lead
Quarters had not been carried out. Is it
dishonorable to submit to this condition of
things? I am no advocate of universal suf
frage: It was an outrage and a.wrong to
invest the negro race with this right. Ti ey
have not the capacity to exercise it intelli
gently. They will be liabje to be made the
dupes of base and designing demagogues.
The effort is now being made to delude them
and' lead them into a party organization
which is hostile to the white men of the
South, and the object of which is, to rob
them of the last vestige of their liberties.
The ignorant negro may be mislead now,
but the ine wil come when he iill rue the
day when he arrayed himself in a hossile
political attitude towards his only true
friends-towards those whose interests are
his interests. Emmisaries are being sent
here, not to ameliorate his condition, not
to elevate him in the s:-ale of being, nor to
devise measures for tie protection of his
rights, b.. or the purpose_of strepgthening
a party-to secure its percianeut. ascendan
cy in the country that a few aspirants for
office may enjoy, and .have the disposal of
"the loaves and the fishes.? It is not the
good of tre-negro they .e.;k, but political
power. "bey wish to n::e him now. for
party pt. toses, as he was used during the
war for military purpor.s. His freedom
was given to him not fc:-. his good ; that
was not the object.-Linoln's emancipation
=proelamation gives the lie plain and fat to
such a fabrication.-He declared that it was
done purely as a mneasure of "military ne
cessity."-He-put the act upoi-that ground;
and upon that gtound =lone. The negro
was freed that, the So,h mizkt be eon
qnered. The right '0 sutrage Is tiow given
to him, that he may reuer permanent the
rule of the radical party.-lence the union

FAIR PLAY.
IEzersTE.-There is one thing that we
desire to catl the attention of all our read
ers to, and that is, that the mere act of
availing themselves of the privilege of reg
istration does not commit them to an en
dorsement of the reconstruction Acts, or to
votir'g for a convention. It is simply ari
act of qualifieation, conferring upon thems
the right to vote as they please on the ques
tions to issue. They should bear in mind
that, having registered, they can vote for or
against a convention, can inlect their mes
to represent them in that body, and can
vote to adopt or reject the constitution it
-may submit for their approval.
This is an important point for those qual'
fled to consider. The. mere registration ol
their name; does not commit them one way
or the othet, and, indeed, if they choose,
they may refuse to vote at alL. But, by
registering, they will have secured that op'
tion, whereas the neglect to do so precludes
them from exercising their judgment at the
ballot-box of either men or measures, and
disqualifies them from voting for or against
-either, so long as. these laws are in force.
Register, then, if vou do not go near the
ballot-box, and thus preserve to yourselves
the highest pritilege confered upon the
citizen.-Columbia P'honix.

IMPORTANT.-The absenCe of a pronmi- V
nent citizen from town for the past month, ~
gave rise to inquiries as to where he had
gone, and for what purpose. Gonjecture
was at fault. We are happy to state
that he has returned,,-and has given a
satisfactory explanation as to the charac
ter of his employment during the period
mentioned. Instead of idly rusticating at
some one horse railr-oad station, specula
ting in chickens and melons, or at some
second rate watering place, enjoying the 3
game of knucks, tag, or mumble-the-peg,
as-his well-known proclivities led us to C
suppose, he has been stirring around C
loosely with "beef on the brain" and has
purchased and gathered together a fine a
drove of fat beeves for market. We look c
upon him 'as a perfect benefactor, in that
his object is to bring down the price of e
stock, and considering the high prices ni
which are demanded for the article by s
our retail beef merchants, our "citizen"
is enititled to the eminent gratitude of tl
this much abused community. High in S
the hearts of his countrymen shall he be
esteemed, and even more distinguished
than the hero who "butt the bull from h

The officers did as thev were command- r
, and, after a certain ime, their ruler I

of them how well his orders had been t
eyed. t
'Oh, mighty Skinflint' they replied :- e

fact which speaks well for the intelli
