ALBANY, Friday Feb 26, lt5S.
The feature of the Legislative doings to-day was
| the ntroductbp into each House of bid for the
registration othe names ofthe voters of the State
In the Senate, Mr. johnson, American, of Albany.
| introduced bill which. from hasty glance. |
should think very good one. II provides for
| Boards of Registration in all cities, villages and
| towns of the State, with proper guards against
| fraudulent REGISTRATION which is declared to BE-
felony punishable by not less than one year in the
| State Prison False swearing before the BOani0 OF
| Registrations declared to b. Wlful aud corrupt
perjury and to be punishable such. Any member
Of the Boardw who shall wilfuly violate any Of the
provisions oithe act subjects himself to one year in
| the State Prison.
MIR. Johnan's bill was referred to the Committee
| on Privileges and Elections, with two members
added, after ,neountering the violent opposition OF
| the leading Democratic Senators. The Committee
as it now stands consists OF Messrs. W. A. Wheeler
| johnson, Spnola, Ely and Owen.
In the Assembly Mr.. Adams of Albany introduced
| n bill for Registry law, which j believe has al-
ready been published in TIE IRIBlsE, and moved
it's reference to select committee, which reference
the Democratic members resisted with much deter
mination. motion of Mr. Gran to rofei II 10 tue
Co.,;ttre IN Privileges and Elections was lost By
one maiority-44 to a.. Mr.. Laning w,nted to send
it to the Jud ciary Committee. and cOntended that
Any law for ne registration of voters was unconse
| tltional. Afer considerable warm debate, in which
| several members participated, Mr.. Laning's mo-
ton TO smother the bill in the Judiciary Committee
was LOST by two majority-43 to A.. Dir. Adams's
| motion wasthen adopted.
! As the D.mocratic members hold to the position
that it is unconstitutional to prevent fraudulent vot
ing of course they will oppose Registry law with
| all their foce, and may succeed in defeating any
| Wholesome legislation this subject; but the pros
pect of sue ess the part OF the friends of honest
| Voting are regarded rs 90 fair to midding.'
