That through the stringent interpre- tilo of the disfranchilsingelause of the netion Acts, so large a number ohe hite citizens have been excluded from :registration that the white voters are redaced to nearly. oeb-half, the ranm- ber of colored, though the census exhib- its an excess of white population, That vast frauds and irrgularitie have been committed in the reg stratiod, whioehare sufficiently indicated by the registration of one voter for every three of the negro race.-against one for every ten of the white population. That in consequence of these frauds and irregu- larities in the administration of the Re- construction Acts, the. white population are powerloss-subject to the domiuation of the negro race, which, through the influence of indiscreet persons, has been incited to bitter hostility and jealousy towards the white citizens of the State, whose interests require them to munm- tain relations of kindness and good will to all elasses and conditions of persons residing in their midst. That sountd, policy, no less than hu- inanity, demands the exercise of the kindest feelings and the most liberal disposition of the white to the colored people; and, that nothing is further from the purpose or desire of our people than the adoption of laws or measures to op- press the freedmen, or to deprive them of the benefit of just and equal laws for the protection of their persons, their property, and their liberty. That so far from displaying any con- tumaacy or falctious opposition to the recoustruction acts of Congress, the white citizensof this State have gener- ally endeavored to register, but have been refused, as your memorlalists be- lieve, in much greater numbers than was contemplated by Congress. That the negroes in this State are or- ganized into secret bands termed loyli Leagues sworn and combined against] the white citizens of the State in order to obtain control of the govcernlmenlt; That this credulous race has beenl de- luded by degigning men into the be'ief thalt the property of the white citizens will be divided Amongast them; That under thesell de:nloralizing influ- (cices, they are daity refusing to fulfill their contracts or to labor lor tihe sup- port of themselves and their families; That in conseqlaence of this demlloriali- zntion, planting in this State has result- ed in the ruinous ftilure of a large miajor- ity of our pl;anter, andtl, of course, in the necessity of its abandonment; That before the close of the piresent year the negroes, with but few excel)- tions, will have colasutned or wasted all their wages, or share of the crops, !ilndl be destitute of tihe mloans of subsistence; that thlie white race will be c)mpelled to liimit their planting in:ainly to their own families, and the lnelrn.es will not have the meanls, if they had the capacity., to plant on their own account. Under these circunanstalees, famine, willh all jit ata•tlndanmt horrors, must soon come upion this iinprovicldent race. In view of these impending calamities, the undersigned would earnestly suppeitll to the Presient and Congress to give prompt attentioni to this vitally inpilor- tnat nmatter, and provide inmntediintcly such remledy as in their wisdulhlm can be devised to arrest the ruin which, unlless arrested, imusit speedily come upon uis.

KIssMa BY IBULE.-A youhg lady i writer, , whom practice has doubtless 1 made perfect, lays down the following rule for kissing, which we are willing to I adopt-on a fair opportunity-merely to test the efficacy of her sweet rule: Therec is as much difference in kisses f as in individuals, and I am sure I woerd a not like to be kissed by every one. No, indeed; for some would give such an a overwhelming smack it would almost I aeafeu me. Now kissing can be reduced to rules, one or two of which I will give. The head should always be turneds slight- t ly to the right, as such motions give. grace, and prevent the concussioni cG the olfactory organs. The lips aihouldt then be pressed closely and sweetly together as you. sip the nectar of the long kiss, but no smack should be hiearsd. I speakl particularly ion this subject, because I 1 consider kissing a part of our nature, and because few people appear to nunder- 1 standtl the value of a kiss, and the usaIa- ncr in which said salutation with the 1 lips should be rendered.

The following pen-portrait, by a correspondent of the New Orleaos Picayune, sketiihed from observations of her dAring a ride in the ears. will be read with, iteresot by her many admirers and friends : "1She was habited plainly-but neatly, in a blue mruslini dress, which fitted her aduii'ithly and which I was told was cut out and made by hmerself. A fash- ionable hat, triummed with blue, suited the dress. Two veils, one black and the other blue, entirely concealed her fet- tures, which vexed we. because I was curious to ascertain whether the features they hid .ecrrespou•led with the faultless form of tl:oe lady. She was of medium size, small w.aisted, with a well develop. ed bust, a neck very fair and a perfect model for a sculptor. ITer feet nud iands were those of a. Southern lady. very small and tidy. She looked as if slhe would weigh about 115 pounds, anill to the eyes of an artist resembled Power's 'Greek Slave more thttu the Veitnus de Medicis, or the Venus of Canova. Afterwarils I 'had the pleas- are of seeing lher face to facee, aid was surprised to find her a blonde, with light hellsnut hair, soft exlremseive, but bril- lilnt hazel eyes, Grecian featuires, with a nose slightly aquiline, fiorehead a little higher and broader thall Pl'syches', eher- ry red lips, well curved with Cutpid's lhows, iand slightly llptiurlned at the c,.r- lers, iudicating a smothered pro pensity for lfun. 11er cheekli were ineantifally tinted with the uitaiden blhitsl of he:alth and innocence, I was told that she is thirty years old; but how younig site looked I I decideald that her age could not, be Inore thau 21. I was anmused at her blue dress, but there was niothinig of the "blue stocking" about her. Lhe were the blue veil to relieve a. temporary iutl:inmmation of the eye lids, caused by too much rcadmig and writing at aight, or other imlprludence.

The undereigte• eithies of the StateorLoaiuislan, respectffallo repesent that,the potticual developmeeto of the. past!•w months have demonutraited the fa+ttbt't the ieconstratiou Acts of Congressitll, if persisted in, produce a ioutliet't ranees, whiea must renlt in the'deso-lation of thae ountryi and the serious, ifltot Irreparable, injury of both races: inthae Sathern .States.
That through the stringent interpre-tilo of the disfranchilsingelause of the
netion Acts, so large a numberohe hite citizens have been excluded
from :registration that the white votersare redaced to nearly. oeb-half, the ranm-ber of colored, though the census exhib-its an excess of white population,
That vast frauds and irrgularitiehave been committed in the reg stratiod,whioehare sufficiently indicated by theregistration of one voter for every threeof the negro race.-against one for everyten of the white population. That inconsequence of these frauds and irregu-larities in the administration of the Re-construction Acts, the. white populationare powerloss-subject to the domiuationof the negro race, which, through theinfluence of indiscreet persons, has beenincited to bitter hostility and jealousytowards the white citizens of the State,whose interests require them to munm-tain relations of kindness and good willto all elasses and conditions of personsresiding in their midst.
That sountd, policy, no less than hu-inanity, demands the exercise of thekindest feelings and the most liberaldisposition of the white to the coloredpeople; and, that nothing is further fromthe purpose or desire of our people thanthe adoption of laws or measures to op-press the freedmen, or to deprive themof the benefit of just and equal laws forthe protection of their persons, theirproperty, and their liberty.
That so far from displaying any con-tumaacy or falctious opposition to therecoustruction acts of Congress, thewhite citizensof this State have gener-ally endeavored to register, but havebeen refused, as your memorlalists be-lieve, in much greater numbers thanwas contemplated by Congress.
That the negroes in this State are or-ganized into secret bands termed loyliLeagues sworn and combined against]the white citizens of the State in orderto obtain control of the govcernlmenlt;
That this credulous race has beenl de-luded by degigning men into the be'iefthalt the property of the white citizenswill be divided Amongast them;
That under thesell de:nloralizing influ-(cices, they are daity refusing to fulfilltheir contracts or to labor lor tihe sup-port of themselves and their families;
That in conseqlaence of this demlloriali-zntion, planting in this State has result-ed in the ruinous ftilure of a large miajor-ity of our pl;anter, andtl, of course, inthe necessity of its abandonment;
That before the close of the piresentyear the negroes, with but few excel)-tions, will have colasutned or wasted alltheir wages, or share of the crops, !ilndlbe destitute of tihe mloans of subsistence;that thlie white race will be c)mpelled toliimit their planting in:ainly to their ownfamilies, and the lnelrn.es will not havethe meanls, if they had the capacity., toplant on their own account. Underthese circunanstalees, famine, willh all jitata•tlndanmt horrors, must soon come upionthis iinprovicldent race.
In view of these impending calamities,the undersigned would earnestly suppeitllto the Presient and Congress to giveprompt attentioni to this vitally inpilor-tnat nmatter, and provide inmntediintclysuch remledy as in their wisdulhlm can bedevised to arrest the ruin which, unllessarrested, imusit speedily come upon uis.

KIssMa BY IBULE.-A youhg lady iwriter, , whom practice has doubtless 1made perfect, lays down the followingrule for kissing, which we are willing to Iadopt-on a fair opportunity-merely totest the efficacy of her sweet rule:
Therec is as much difference in kisses fas in individuals, and I am sure I woerd anot like to be kissed by every one. No,indeed; for some would give such an aoverwhelming smack it would almost Iaeafeu me. Now kissing can be reducedto rules, one or two of which I will give.The head should always be turneds slight- tly to the right, as such motions give.grace, and prevent the concussioni cG theolfactory organs. The lips aihouldt thenbe pressed closely and sweetly togetheras you. sip the nectar of the long kiss,but no smack should be hiearsd. I speaklparticularly ion this subject, because I 1consider kissing a part of our nature,and because few people appear to nunder- 1standtl the value of a kiss, and the usaIa-ncr in which said salutation with the 1lips should be rendered.

"1She was habited plainly-but neatly,in a blue mruslini dress, which fitted heraduii'ithly and which I was told wascut out and made by hmerself. A fash-ionable hat, triummed with blue, suitedthe dress. Two veils, one black and theother blue, entirely concealed her fet-tures, which vexed we. because I wascurious to ascertain whether the features
