be considered as closing on April 9, the day
of election, and not on March 81 , the last day
allowed for inscription in like manner, the

on up TO the very day of April 9; the gendar-
merle are to be assimllated in their right OF
voting to soldiers or Sailors persons confined
in prison, under the charge of offences, but
not found guilty, are not 10 be deemed depri-
we'd of the faculty of voting, inasmuch as the
law holds them innocent until found guilty
but, on the other hand, as they cannot pro-
coed freely to the place of voting, they are tc

who from illness or other unforeseen causes
cannot attend, and who, consequently, lose
their right for the time being.
