The RegistrAtion Act.

We would call the attention Of those |
whom it may concern to
IAN Act relating to the Registry and
Returns of Births, Marriages and Deaths,
passed by the Legislature Of Vermont,
October session 1856, and amended De-
tober session 1857"
1t concerns Town Clerks, Districts
Clerks, Physicians and all pcrscns who
solcnnize marriage.
As it requires the immediate attention
Of District Clerks, we give
Sec. Z The clerks in the several school
districts in each town shall annually in the
month Of February ascertain from actual
inquiry or otherwise all the births and
deaths which have happened in their res
pective districts during the year next pre-
ceding the frst of January, together with
such facts concerning said births and
deaths as are required by the first section
Of this act, and shall make an accurate re-
turn thereof to the clerk Of the town in
which such school district is situated, on
or before the first day OF March, and the
said district clerk or other person or per-
sons authorized to per 'orm his duties and
make such returns, shall be entitled to re-
ceive from the treasury of such town Eve
cents for each and every birth and death
go returned. And every person aforesaid
who shall neglect or refuse to make the
return required by this section, shall be
liable to fine Of not less than three dol
lars fer each neglect or refusal.
The object ofthe Statute is unquestiona-
bly, good, and the object can be attained
only by faithfulness on the part of the Of
icials named. Clergymen and physicians
occupy position in society to diffuse in
formation in regard to the subject of Reg.
istration and the advantages which it pre-
poses and it is confidently expected
that they will cheerfully contribute their
influence to promote an en- erprise VIII oh
in its commencement especially calls for
their professional spirit in the advance
ment OF the moral and sanitary improve
ments contemplated in the Statute,

Prospects of Lecompton.

1t is at plesent uncertain what course
the administration party will take on the
Kansas question. 1t may pass the Sen
ate and an attempt be made to force it
through the House on dema nd for the
previous question, and before the report
Of the Committee of Investigation. A
Compromise is talked Of, but the South
is firm in its de,rands of Lecompton with.
out compromise. That the party in the
Senate has power to pass it is GER ain. and
that it will is probable. In the House
there is needed but change of one vote,
and the administration feels certain that
1t has the means of procuring that
What effect this would produce is
uncertain, inasmuch as the result of the
election in Kansas. is not yet positively
certain. The Delaware Crossing returns,
on which the result has hung, are, it ia
said, officially proved fraudulent, and we
see it further stated that Calhoun intends
to give the election to the Free State
party. This may and may not be true,
but if true it is proof that the admins
tration is be oming discouraged. The
passage of the Lecompton Constitution
after the ele>tion Of Free State Legis-
lature could be for the administration
party no better. We think worse than
defeat, and we hope they will infuse e.
nough of method into their madness to
preserve the peace of the country, though
It may postpone their own dissolution.
