The Registry of Voters.

1t should not be forgotten that the Legis-
quiring the registry of the names of all voters,
and persons cannot exercise the right of suf-
frage without complying with its provisions.
Secretary FAIRcHLD has prepared and sent
out forms and Instructions needed. The law
has already been published in our paper, but
we state the main features again for the ben
eft of our readers:
A man must, unless he has good and ample
reason for the neglect, have his name on the
Register one week. before the. election, or he
cannot vote. The Board of Electors in each
Town and Ward meet three weeks before the
election, and make list of the voters from
the .poll-list of last year, striking off such
names as they know should not be there, such
as those known to have removed from the
Town, and putting on those who have moved
in or become of age, and in other respects
making it as correct as they can, when it is
to be posted in the room in which the Inspec-
ton Board meet, and be accessible to all who
wish to see it, in order that further correc-
tions may be made.
One week before the Election the Board
meets again to make corrections if it needs
any. At this meeting the Inspectors make
the list and have to certify to their belief that
it is a. correct one, and make four copies
thereof, one for each Inspector, and one for
the Town or City Clerk. After the last list
is made, no person whose name is not there
on can vote, unless he shall furnish affidavit
in writing, giving his reasons for not appear
ing at the second meeting of the Board, and
shall also prove by householder of the dis
trict that he is an inhabitant of the district.
If man knows he voted last fall, and has
reason to believe the Board of his District il
composed of reasonably careful and honest
men men, he need not concern himself about
being registered, for his name will be placed
there all right by the board: and If it is not
he can have it rectifed ON election day, in
the manner prescribed. No man who lisa
legal voter can. be debarred the right of vet
ing, whatever may have been his own neg
lect or that OF the board, while the man WHIT
is not a voter can hardly squeeze his vote in
| if there are any vigilant or honest men il
the town to aid in purging the lists.
