Perfect the Registry List.

Perfect the Registry List.
 The law passed by the last legislature for the regulation of elections (excepting in the towns of Hartford, New Haven, Middletown and Nor wich, which have special laws) makes it indis pensable that the registry list should be perfected before election day.
 HERE IS NO POWER TO PREVENT PERSON FROM VOTING IF HIS NAME IS ON THE REGISTRY LIST UPON ELECTION if it is clear that it ought not to be on the list, and that he has no shadow of right to vote. THERE IS NO POWER TO AU- THoRIzE A PERSON TO VOTE UNLESS HIS NAME IS LII . ON THE LIST PREVIOUS TO ELECTION DAY, either among those qualified to vote or under the head " Intended application" in case his name was upon the original corrected list and omitted from the duplicate copy by fraud or clerical mistake.
 HE SELECTMEN HAVE NOT THE POWER TO ALTER THE LIST AFTER WEDNESDAY, Oct. 3lst-so far as the same is applicable to persons made voters before election day.
 Challenging upon election day, as to a mans right to vote, is entirely done away with-the registry list is the moderator's guide-if a per sons name is upon it he can vote, if it is not up- on it he cannot vote. The selectmen, to whom appeals have formerly been made. are not a,l- upon election day, and until that time only for x en previous notice and are registered. SfA- SEE THAT THE REGISTRY LIST Is PERFECTED.~J -HmHord Press Gs5~ A few days since an extra train loaded with jackasses was transported over Louisville and New Albany railroad The telegraph ope- rator at Salem, boy, getting wind of it, set aaoat rumor that large delegation of demo- crats would pass through at certain hour. Ru- nor, increasing as it flew, said that many em- nent speakers were aboard, and that bands of music accompanied the expedition. Immense crowds of enthusiastic Douglas men repaired to the depot, hats in hand, ready for the expected cheers. When the train thundered in and an aged and venerable owner of pair of fabulous ears stuck his head out of stock car, and gave vent to long. agonizing hee-haw, that fairly | shook the hills around, cOpsternation seized the crowd, and in two minutes not democrat was | to be seen within mile of the depot. Con- plaint has been made to the superintendent against the operator, and he is in momentary expectation of notice to quit.
 ~ Kappa" of the Philadelphia Press thus writes
 "Mr. Buchanan has frequently expressed him self when speaking of the Lecompton bill that | if he should de he would ask for nothing else but that slab with the inscription, James Bu chanan-Lecompton." should be laid upon his grave. This is no idle rumor know positively that he has uttered these words"
 James Buchanan needs nothing on his slab but the simple name by which he has been known on earth. Posterity will supply series of otte, epitaphs of which Lecempton" shall be not al all the most inglorious, and for which, if there shall not be a " rattling of dry bone's," beneath the monument, it will be because the bones them selves have become what Poe calls, "a mass o liquid putresence."

 1 B@- We have good reason for affirming that a very large number of southern gentlemen have already personally paid their respects to MT.

 ssa- At a ball given to Lord Renfrew at tn, Academy of Music, New York, the prime. opened the dance with lady of Gov Morgan Richly dressed possessed of all the grace ant dignity befitting her station as the wife of tho Chief Magistrate of the Empire State, she rep resented something more than official station She was the exemplar of American life, pro gress, industry. In her youth she was pool girl, earning her livelihood as milliners ap prentice. Her upward growth is but common specimen of the strange but goodly incidents O Republican life. Another of the partners O the prince was the daughter of John Van Bu ren, She should have reminded her royal gal lant that many years ago her father danced wti his mother, and had borne the name Prince John ever since.-N r. World.
 It would have been nothing to the discred of Mrs. Morgan if she had, as the ITorld states earned her living as milliners apprentice bu the fact is, that Miss Waterman, now Mrs. Nor gan never had occasion to earn her livelihood a: poor girl, her father being Hartford merch ant, in comfortable circumstances, during hel youth and certainly her cousin, K. D. Morgan whom she married, was amply able to support 1 Iher.-C0ur0nt.
