I5v order of the Central Committee, C. II. REEVE, Chairman. A. C. CvrnoN, Secretary. Register! Register! Next Monday the Boards of Registration meet in the several townships, at the usual places of holding elections, to superintend the registry of voters. All persons who are entitled to vote this fall, that did dot vote last fall, and those who have moved into the county since then, must go before the board and register, in order to vote at the coming election this fall. "We urcrc upon such Democrats the importanco of registering, and hope that none will neglect this important duty. Let the leading Democrats in the several townships attend to this matter in time, and if there are any who are not acquainted with the Registry Law, let them sec that all suih arc made acquainted with the requirements of its provisions. It is a matter of the highest importance that we should poll a full rote this fall, and in order to do so we must work with a will. Again wc say, do not fail ta register. Corruption Sounds for llic South, There has been no doubt for some months past, that the radicals are engaged in a desperate effort to carry the elections in nearly ail of the Southern States, and to secure their electoral votes in the next presidential campaign. 31ea:i3 utterly disgraceful have been res ortcd to by members of Congress, Governors of States, and other State officers, and by the District ruiiltary commanders in the Southern States. This may seem to be a grave charge but wc are prepared to prove it true. Thomas XY. Conway recently made a report to the '-Congressional committee" of the Republican party, showing what he had done in the way of organizing Union Leagues in the South. From that report wc give the following extracts : ;ln my visit to Yirgiuia I met General Schofield and General Drown, the oue commanding the district and tho other in charge of tho freed man's bureau. On learning my busiuess in the South, and alter perusing my letter of instruction, Gen. Schofield said : "I thank God j-ou lavc cjrac with so good a work to inaugurate, and I wish you the greatest success. AVe wp.at to sec the Union men of Virginia fully and thoroughly organized, and your plans are the best I have seen or heard of. I will give you every proper nwistnnM in nowir." '- -- j i i den. Drown made similar remarks. All Iiis officers whom I met while iu the State were actively engaged in some way in aiding the w.rk of loyal reconstruction. In North Carolina I had the pleasure of meeting ex-Gov. Holden, Hon. Mr. Taylor, formerly of the State Legislature; Col. Foster, collector of the port of Wilmington ; Gen. McKce, Gen. Rutherford, and others, who are distinguished for their devotion to the cause of the Union in that State, all of whom bore the strongest testimony to the value of the league. They represented it as already so far organized in the State that the loyal cause could not be otherwise than victorious. Il ovcr lea St. for eon in' two of ortion of the South Carolina f traveled, the testimony of the e same as in the old North tr.ay say the same cf Georgia, :ndred3 of colored men, and vyjr whites," a3 I passed along , and while I tarried in one or .e b dutiful cities ofthat State, all a rr-'ved to ino that they were members of the league, ind that the organization furnished their best hope of success in tho struggle lor equal rights. in Alabama 1 met ben. bwayne and some; of the officers of his comman J. His testimony concerning the work of the league in that State is worthy of a bright page in the history of our great struggle, and especially in the history of our patriotic organization. He said : 'The league is saving Alabama. It works like a charm. The colored people feel at home in it, and when they are ignorant of any of the duties or responsibilities of the citizen they are well trained in its councils. I hope it may have a foothold in every town and couuty in th? State, and so far as I can properly aid it to that end I will do so with cheerfulness.' In Louisiana I met the gallant Sheri dan, who gave me a cordial welcome, and offered me any service that he could prop-

erly render in the promotion of what he termed 'the good an glorious work of this patriotic organization.' Gen. Mower, of the Frccdman's bureau ; Gen. liarstuff, Col. Forsyth, Rev. Dr. Newman, Maj. Heath, Gov. Flanders, Gen. J. L. Drown, A. Mary, Esq., Rev. J. 15. Smith, Gen. Cyrus Hamlin, and others in Louisiana, were all free to express the conviction that this organization, above all other?, was peculiarly adapted to heal the wounds of the South, and to secure for the States ofthat section an early restora

tion to their proper relations within the Union and on the basis of justice to aJl." So much for Conway's report. It shows pretty conclusively how the people's money is being spent by the radical office holders. It shows that the reconstruction plan of the radica!s includes the appoint ment of Federal officers to be paid out of the people's money, while engaged in the dirtiest and most degrading work of organizing Union Leagues in the South. Is it honest, thus to use the people's money for mere partizan purposes ? Honest ! pshaw, we forget that honesty forms no part of the radical creed beyond mere professions. AVc now give some extracts from a circular issued by the "Uuiou Republican Executive Committee. " "It (the committee) has employed over seventy active and intelligent speakers and orgauizers, who have been at work i i the reconstructed states, and to a limited extent in Tennessee. Doth white and colored men have been and arc now employed. Iu addition to those already controlled by the committee, State committees and Union League councils, with other auxiliaries, have been aided. The committee has the names of 20,000 loyal persons at the South to whom documents are regularly sent. To about onefourth of that number large packages arc forwarded, so that it is in tho way of immediate distribution of 100.000 or more copies of any document it desires to circulate. Union League councils arc being rapidly formed. Our agents arc all empowered and directed to aid the organization, and, as the Grand President's office is located in this city, veare enabled to bring about harmony of purpose and effort. Were ample means at the committee's disposal, there would be no difficulty in widely exUnding its operations. The demands made, far exceed its means, present and prospective. A large number of intelligent men, white and colored, arc ready to enter the field, most of whom conld be advantageously employed. Our funds have b?en altogether devoted to circulating suitable reading matter, and employing speakers and organizers. They will coutinue to be so used." "Wc next present a private circular issued by Gov. Raker, of Indiana, and Nathan Kimball, Trcsurcr of State, to their radical friends in every county in the State. Their circular was received here by a Democrat to whom it was directed evidently by mistake. The Governor and Treasurer sav : Indianapolis, June 20. il , Plymouth, Ind., "SiR : The successful reconstruction of the rebel States under the recent Icijislation of Congress, and the triumph of the loyal men in the political contest now going on in Teuncsscc, are objects of paramount importance. 'To assist in these objects, the 'National Union Central Committee have appealed, through our Stute Central Committee, to the Union men of Indiana for material aid. To devise measures whereby this appeal might be answered, a meeting of Union men from different parts of the State was this day held at Indianapolis, by which thft uudersigncd were appointed a committee to present the subject to the Union men of the several counties, and urge upon them a prompt and liberal response. "Our friends in Indianapolis have pledged themselves to raise one thousand dollars for the object, a considerable portion has been already collected. "We respectfully, but urgently request that you will take charge of the collection of funds for this purpose in your couuty. "Gen. Nathan Kimball has been designated a3 treasurer of the fund; and wc trust that you R ill immediately collect and remit to him such sums as the Union men I of your county may be willing to contrib ute, to a cause so worthy. The election in Tennessee will take place on the first Monday in August; hence the importance of prompt action. Upon the 'success of our friend in the South may depend the question whether the next administration of the general government shall be in tl.e hands of loyal or disloyal men. Respectfully yours, "Cox had Raker,, "Nathan Kimball, "J. T. WnidiiT, "John Coiikkn. Here is a pretty kettle of fish ! The Governor and Treasurer of our State urging their party friends to raise means with which to influence the election in a sister State ! Indianians arc seriously urged by the officers of the State to forward money to be used iu controlling the approaching election in Tennessee. The success or defeat of the scoundrel, blackguard and hypocrite, Rrownlow, may determine "whether the next administration shall be in the hands of loyal or disloyal men." If there are men more disloyal than Rrown'ow, we do not know where to fiud them, unless it be the men who deliberately advise others to contribute to a corruotioii fund to control an election. Will our Republican friends contribute to the fund aud send their money to Gen. Nathan Kimball to be forwarded to Tennessee for the purpose of aiding in the election of Rrownlow ? Wc arc of the opinion that the radical, untaxed bond holders arc the best able to fnrnish the money required to radicalize and niggerize the Southeru States. Tho tax paying part of the citizens have other and better uses for what money thay can spare after settling with the tax-gatherers. The Navajo Indians in New Mexico, to the number of 6,000, are said to be threatening hostilities against the white.

Sheridan's Removal. It is reported from Washington upon good authority, that the President has fully made up his mind to remove Gen. Sheridan, the military commander of District No. 5. The President has put up with the insubordination of this understrapper much longer than he should have done, but the country will rejoice, even at this late day, if President J ohnson kicks the impudent cur to one side and appoints an honest, faithful, upright man in his place. The Presidential office should not be longer disgraced by the retention of Sheridan as a District commanJer. Wc sincerely trust that the report of his .removal will be speedily followed with au order for his immediate displacement. A Candidate. The Republican last week, spoke of Col. T. Sumner as a candidate for Couuty Clerk, and thinks if he will consent to run, he will be nominated, and if so, elected, "as he will show up the extravagance and corruption of the present incumbent in such a way that every honest tax-payer who has to work for his money cannot fail to be disgusted." Rless your soul, old man, the "honest taxpayers" who "work for their money" are becomijg "disgusted" already with the extravagaucc and corruption" of the party with whom the Col. voles and for whom he works. It is cool, though, yea quite refreshing, this hot weather, to have a radical paper hcwl about "extravagance and corruption" iu Democratic officials. As to the election of Col. Sumner, or any

other radical in this county, that is all bosh, gammon, the merest twaddle, and the expression of a belief that the thing is possible, is intended to operate on the weaklings of the radical party. Gen. Sickles has issued an order placing some of his subordinates in North Carolioa under arrest for taking part in the political campaign in that State. This is pretty good evidence that some of Gen. Sickles' "subordinates" arc not strictly "loyal," for as every one knows, Gen. Sickles aud his subordinates are placed there expressly to take part in the political campaign. They have no other business there. It was because the veterans were not working fcr the negro ticket that Lord Sickles had them arrested. Suicide or EIou. Daniel JInce. Hon. Daniel Mace, former Representa tive in Congress from the Lafayette District, and Post Master at that city, committed suicide about 9 o'clock on Friday morning last. The act had been in contemplation for some time. lie was stricken with paralysis in the spring of 1SGG, while iu Washington, and although able to be about aud competent to transact ordinary business, was a great sufferer, and iu complete despair of his recovery, contemplated the idea of self-destruction until it became a fearful monomania. A few months siucc, iu conversation with Mr. Linglc, editor of the Courier, allusion was made to the tragical end of Gen. Lap.?, of Kansas, who had shot himself. "That was sens ibh said 31 r. Mace, "for when a mau's life becomes a burden to hi.ii, that's the way to end it." He has at several different times endeavored to procure the means ucccssary for making way with himself, aud has made two attempts one about a year ago, and one only a few days ago. Friday morning he went into the plumbing store of Wallace & Rro., adjoining the postoffiee, and took a pistol from the drawer unobserved, Mr. Wallace went out for a few moments and on his return found Mr. Mace seated in a chair with his head thrown back and an empty pistol lying on the floor. He died almost iustautly. Deceased has filled a large space in the political history of this section. He was a member of the Indiana House of Representatives in 18o7; was appointed United States District Attorney lor Indiana in 1S45; elected to Congress in 1851 aud twice re-elected. At the close of his last term he took issue with the Democratic parly on the Kansas Nebraska question, and thereafter acted with the Republican party. In ISO 4 he was a delegate to the Raltimorc Convention, and it was on his motion that Mr. Johnson was nominated for Vice President. In 18GG, he was ap pointed Postmaster as a personal favor, he having served in Congress in company with Mr. Johnson for many years, lie was born iu 1811. and was therefore i(j years old. He leaves a wife and three childrsu. The Sunnit Trial. From the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, wc glean the following particulars of the progress of the Surratt trial : The trial of the Surratt case has become tedious and tiresome to an intolerable derrrno Tlio rriilrnfr vt;i ill in n rpk nnn o v - ' " .. 0 -, and the case ought to have been closed the.. During tho last four days (at the instigation, it is understood, of John A. Ringham, of Ohio, who is the real manager of the case on the part of the prosecution) the latter have been engaged iu cxaining witnesses, fur the purpose of re-establishing, if possible, the character ot certain material witnesses, whoso testimony had been knocked all to pieces by the defense. This attempt has most signally failed. The testimony that was given by Cleaver, Dye, Weichman, Lloyd, McMillan aud St. Marie, hag been so positively contradicted that the Jury will give to it no weight whatever. Iu fact, the utter ucclc?siies3 of all that tho prosecution has been trying to do for the last four days is so evident, that yesterday the counsel for the defense stated to the Court that they were willing now to consider the case as closed, aud to submit the case to the Jury without a word of argument. The prosecution were taken entirely by surprise by this proposal, and after a hurried consultation they rejected it, and stated that they wished and intended to argue the case fully to the Jury. All th? agument they can mako, however, will be unavailing. No reasonable man can fail to see that this trial has demonstrated the perfect innocence uot ouly of John II Surratt, but also of his unfortunate moth-

er. An acquittal therefore, is certain, and I should not be surprised, now that the Jury have been doomed to the infliction of dry political haiangucs, for four days,

Editors Democrat : For a number of days past, Chicago has had but one topic, but steady application to that oue has insured its pretty thorough, discussion, and a degree of attendant excitement from which we have not yet quite recovered. That oue all-absorbing topic has been base-ball, in connection with which, the press of our city has managed to confer upon itself deep and lasting disgrace, by its malicious and unwarranted Attacks upon a party of visitors, gentlemen invited here by our citizens, and entitled! to every generous and hospitable courtesy, instead of the coarse abuse which they have received. Language forcible as this requires an explanation. I will give it briefly. Wednesday last, the ''National" Rase Rail Club of Washington, visited our city, by invitation of the "Excclaiors" of Chicago. Thursday, while they wore all weary from eleven successive cays of travel and severe play in other cities, and while two or three of their members were sick, the "Nationals" played with the "Forest City" Club ot Rockford, Illinois, and were defeated. Friday they had rest, and Saturday they met in friendly contest our "Excelsior" CluUand beat them by the enormous majority of 40 runs to 4. Straightway the papers raised a howl that the "Nationals" had thrown away Thursday's game for the purpose of winning heavily on Saturday, aud averred that their members were picked players from several eastern cities, got together for the purpose of this tour and ouly traveling to make money. One paper spoke of them as ''gamblers" and of their play as "a confidence game," while another stigmatized them as "tools of gamblers." All vied in abusing them, simply because they had beaten, severely but fairly, our pet club. All "squealed" pitifully over the few dollars lost on the game. The "National" published the names and address of all their members, exhibiting the falsity of the allegation that they were picked from other cities; showed that tlicy had always discountenanced any betting on their games, even to the extent jf expelling members who bet on their grounds, appealed to the record of their games in other cities to show how squarely they had always played aud finally explained the causes lor their delect on Thursday. Oue paper, the Tribune had the honesty to make a frank retraction. Yesterday, the "Nationals" played with with the "Atlantics," another crack Chicago club, and beat them by the long odds of 73 to 17. Immediately after the game they started home, by way of the Michigan Central Railroad. Rut for their previous agreement upon a game with the "Atlantics" they would doubtless have gone before, thoroughly disgusted as they were with the treatment they received from the papers. I am happy to say thr.t the Rase Rail players of Chicairo repudi ate unqualifiedly the action of the press and at a meeting of the "Excclnor club last night, the ungenerous aspersions upon their late antagonists were handsomely disclaimed. Iudividrally, I have no sympathy for Washington, no acquaintance with or friendship for the Nationals, and I heartily detest the "noble national game" of ba.C;b:ill as a great misapplication of physical exertion, but ITikc fair play and must blush in shame for the action of our Chicago press. Gentlemen ball players, among my numerous readers, do not imagine that Chic: go makes a practice of treating thus those whom she invites to vist her. It is duly recorded that Jonah's gourd sprang up to a considerable height iu a single night, but that interesting precedent in the veritable kingdom is scarcely deemed good in the animal. Fortunately, or unfortunately, as you please, a baby is not a gourd. The prejudices of education arc such that a husband expects a scries of at least nine "waxing and waning moons before he becomes a father, at least as a general thing; judge then if you can of the horror of a young husband on Wabash Avcuuc, who after the lapse of about a third of that time hears his wife ask him the puzzling question, "why, whose could it be but yours, darling ?" He had met her at the Washington Skating Ri.ik, where she was "huge on ice:" he had encountered her at social gatherings where she was the "bright particular star;" he loved her, and when she said "j'ca," and her stem paricnt said "nay," ho eloped with and married her. He seems to treat tho thing philosophically, saying that he "docs'nt know but what it may be," so if he is contented why should I expose the affair? I repress the names, but assure you that the incident is strictly true. On the occasion of several great fires recently, the? want of an adequate supply of water has caused immense losses of property. The water works have not yet been gotten iu such condition as to give us all the advantages of the tunnel, and as chemists have not yet settled the question as to whether there is a trace of the tenthousandth of a graiu of sulphur in a galion of the artesian well water, tho city refuses to avail itself of that inexhaustible supply offered it for almost nothing.

AX 15 FIRE 0 CMCRSOX ETIIFIVE HUNDRED MEN IN LY CONFLICT. DEADFrom the Xashvül. (Tenn.) Dispatch, July 20. Again the soil of Tennessee has drunk deeply of the blood of" its persecuted citizens. Again the myrmidons of Rrownlow have brought death and desolation to its peaceful homes, and still they arc permitted by this great government of ours to revel on iu the carnival ol blood which they have inaugurated throughout the State, and still ihe infamous militia is recognized as among the "regularly constituted authorities." The corpse of the martyred Cody scarce grows cold, ere the tidings of a still more sanguinary conflict than that which placed Franklin in mourning comes to us from East Tennessee. On a branch of" the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, leading from Ragciville Junction, is the little village of Rogerville. It is the capital ot Hawkius county aud has about 700 inhabitant and is distant 24 miles from Knoxvillc, the home of Rrownlow. Like many other places in Tennessee, it has its clique of radical time servers, who are as bitter and relentless in their hatred of every conservative as atan iu his hatred of everything gooJ. It had been announced through the newspapers that on Tuesday of this week, Emerson Ethcridc, the conservative candid ate for Governor of Tcnucsse, would ad

who would use them. These threats of J . . t 1 a repeated outrage, however, failed to move the great conservative chief one jot, and he determined on filling his appointment, come what may. Everybody anticipated trouble, and when the day arrived the people poured iu from all quarters, arnica with mukets, shot guns, revolvers and other weapons, the radicals bent on riot and blood shed, and the conservatives determined to defend themselves to the last, should they be assailed. With 1 o'clock came Etheridgc, and a mass of not Ies than 500, half of them colored, gathered about the Court House, ou the square, to lisleu to the speech. As he proceeded, his terrible denunciation and thorough exposition of Rrownlow corruption fired the radical heart to such a degree that he had spoken but an hour when oue of his sentences was picked up by Tom King, a notorious partisan, who shouted back, "That's a damned lie !" Not knowing who had flung the insult into his teeth, )ir. Etheridgc hurled b;ick a withering epithet, which lie scarce had uttered ere a whistling bullet cut the air in dangerous proximity to the place where he was standing, and this was quickly followed by others in all parts of the assemblage. The crowd at ouce broke, the radicals moving to one side of the squ:ire, hhuuting and yelling like demons of the lower pit, and the conservatives going in an opposite direction, both parties firing as they went. They soon drew up iu position aud the work of death commenced iu earnest, volley after volley of minnie balls, large and small shot and the contents of numberless revolvers, being poured iu in rapid succession, every round carrying wounds and death into the ranks of the conibatautrj until they began to waver, break into squads and move from the square, keeping up a scattering fire as they slowly retreated. Mr. Etheridgc, holding in his hands a revolver, stood firm, throughout, never moving an inch from the positiou he had first taken. The battle lasted about twenty minutes, by which time the square was cleared, aiid only random shots were being fired in other portions of the village. The first man to fall was a white conservative, a bullet crashing thro' his brain and killing him instanly. A radical negro was the next, a ball entering his side and passing nearly through him. lie died in a 'few minutes after he fell. Seven other persons were mortally wounded, while twenty-five or thirty received wounds more or less serious. Tho wounded wore conveyed to a hotel, where they remained until other means could be provided for their care. It is said that the radicals suffered most, but we have learned nothing reliable in regard to their loss. As soon as the firing ccaed, Mr. Ethercridge left the Court House, and proceeded to his hotel. He left town by the night train for Snccdsville. to fill an appointment there. Trouble is anticipated in other portions of East Tcnucsscc, as in many places the Rrownlowitcs have sworn that Mr. Etheridgc shall not speak, but he will not for a moment shrink from the duty before lum. He will neither be intimidated by their threats nor driven away by their bullets. No such measures of the Rrownlow despotism can put down free speech in Tcnncssece, though backed by the militia of his despicable service. The President has appointed Lieutenant General Sherman, llrigadier Generals W. S. Harney and Alfred II. Terry, as the additional members of the commission to establish peace with certain Indim tribes. The commission will probably meet in St. Louis on the 1st of August. One of Hrownlow's militia officers wanted to compliment a negro by drinking with him. "Well, Captain," replied CutT, l's very dry, sol won't be iiülj' about it. Some niggers is too proud to drink with a milishy ossifer, but I think a milishy orsifer, when sober, is just as good as a nigga 'specially if the nigga be dry."

The Southern Slates, Richmo.nd, July 29. Gov. Pierpont was this morning assaulted at the executive mansion by Mrs. Driscoil, who was immediately afterward arrested by the police.
