- We have jut beta handed the of-
fieial repstration of. Úw whites «ad
blacks m the whole comity. We
find thatup to tbe tine of re-opening
for five days, and dosing January
31st, there h id registered 1104
blacks and 988 whites, making a to-
tal of 2092. We were over in Bell-
ville a day or two before the close,
and were glad to see so many of our
ftietfds and citizens coming -forward
and depressing a desire to perform
tbe act of registration, even though
man/ of them knew it to be a futile
one. We find that during the five
days, the registered vote of the
•county was increased by 331, tbe
largest half of which, or 166, were
black, thus giving th$m a majority,
in this county, of 117. This.is as
near an even, thing as, taking all
things into consideration, we could
expect, with the political horizon in
its present darkened condition. Most
every one in the county, however,
knows as well as we do tbat there is
a number fully one-third as iarge as
the sum total of registered votera now
in tbe county who have not, can not,
or could sot register. Some of them
have no oi.e else to blame* but them-
selves, i.nd the bigli-strnng view thev
took of the tase, iu spite of the action
< f the gr*at Conservative convention
in Houston tbe other day, and iii
spite of the good counsel given in the
colunift of tbe Countryman. Hut
though they and we disagree, yet we
respect the feeliug3 that prompted
them to pursue the course tbey took.
There is also a number who can bot
register it all, as voter3, many of
whom, we are forced to believe, are
kept out of the use of that great lib-
erty tbat has startled and now threat-
ens to shake tb.c world of aristocracy
and titles to its very centre-1—we mean
the franchise of course—by the strong
arm of might against right, and who
are «is justly entitled, if not more so.
than two-thirds of those who, under
the Reconstruction (?) Laws, now be-
ing forced only upon the South, are
allowed to cast a vota for whomsoever
tbey please.
But there is another large number,
who come under the third clause of
what we have above said, namely,
those who could not. We are asked
why, and ¿an simply give the reason
giren to us, that at the lastsitting of!
the Registration board tbey were
\«lhout a sufficient numlvr of blanks'
whether intentionally or not, we can-
not say; but .we have beard it more
than once hinted that the reason why
the board did not proceed to business
and despatch it mora quickly, was
because they had not a sufficiency of
blanks to do so ñnd keep open the
required nutnler oj days, and that
therefore they did not hurry them-
selves at all. Whether such was or
was .not the case, we have not the
knowledge at hand to say with a
surety, but simply áay what we heard
in Bellville, after the Board had left.

the Union Generals of th^ate war
seems almost a settled matter with
