As a matter of convenience to the public,
tbe board for administering the oath of am-
nesty and registering the loyal voters of
Travis county, are holding forth to-day at
the office formerly occupied by Shelley & Oar-
rington, on the Avenue. The board will
remain in session to-morrow.
Judge Gray very properly urges upon the
people who are desirous of qualifying them-
selves for participation in the re -organization
of the Stale government, to come forward,
without delay, take the oath and have their
names registered. The day of grace may
not last always.
There weré between 60 and 70 names reg-
istered last Friday and Saturday.
Those included within any of the excep
tions, who have not already done so, should
walk up and take the oath, preparatory to
application for special pardon.
The capitol roof is progressing at a fair
rate. We notice one end of the building
covered in with a substantial shingle roof.—
It has become necessary to elevate it in order
to give sufficient pitch to carry eff the rain
and prevent leakage. The roof will make
up in utility what it lacks in appearance.—
That patent roofing was a great humbug.
The District Conrt for this District, is now
; Vut as there
aré no revenue stamps here, no suit ean be
commenced. This necessity, we trust, will
soon be supplied, and then litigants who
have long been denied the luxury of suing
and being sned, ean indulge their propensity
for lawing, to their entire satisfaction ; pro-
vided, always, they can pay the lawyer. See
cards in the Intelligencer.
In portions of this county, the freedmen
who have made contracta with their former
masters, to remain and work on plantations
for a portion of the crops, are becoming dis-
satisfied. This is owing to the destruction
of the cotton by the worm, and the corn by
the grasshoppers. The latter have its some
places been even more destructive than the
former. The negro, who is now interested
in tbe product of tho plantation, realises the
consequences of a failure of a crop, more
than be ever did before. For tho first time
he finds himself personally interested i ft the
successful cultivation of the soil..

As a colored man was riding into the
country recently, be was hailed by a soldier,
and asked, " Where are yon from, and where
are you going to ? " Receiving an answer
that he was from Austin, the soldier remark-
ed, " Well, then, you have plenty of money,"
and ordered him to dismount and disgorge;
telling him if be failed to comply that be
would shoot him. Both got off their horses,
when the soldier proceeded to rifle the ne-
gro's pockets. While picking his pockets,
the boy succeeded in securing the soldier's
pistol, which he immediately leveled at him,
demanding him to " return the money,"
which the robber did very promptly, begging
for his weapon. The boy discharged the
pistol, handed it back to tbe soldier, mount-
ed his horse and rode off, leaving the would-
be highwayman to his reflections.
We understand that Capt. Jack Berry, of
Williamson county, who is charged with
having killed a negro man Dick, who belong-
ed to & W. Talbot, about two years ago(
appeared before Judge Houghton last week,
and invited an investigation. Tbe examina-
tion of the case continued over until last
Monday, when Beriy was held to bail in the
sum of three thousand dollars.
