How Persons Must be Registered.

In answer to an inquiry as to the time the
"Resistry Law" goes into effect the San
Francisco Eraminer responds as follows:
Prior TO July 1st 1867, citizens may Sc.
cure their right to vote at any elections by en-.
rolling themselves on the Poll List, and until
that time it will not be absolutely necessary
that they should lie entered in the Great
Register. But we should advise all Demo
clats to have their names entered in the
Great Register at once, as the same evidence
is REQUIRED for enrolment on the Poll List
as on the Great Register, and the advantages
derived from registering is, that once done,
the right Of voting is secured 10 the elector
for his life time, aud If be move TO- another
district or precinct, the certificate of his en-
rollment on the Great Register will secure
his unuues,ioned enrolment on the Poll
List. The Disadvantages attending laziness
or procrastnalion in this case is this: that
the eIector whose name is not on the Great
Reg lister. and wishes TO be enrolled upon the
local Poll List, will have to prove bis citizen.
ship previous 10 every election, with the same
strictness AS would, once used, ensure bis
freedom to vote if be went directly to the
Great Register. 1t must not, however, be
supposed that those who are enrolled upon
the Great Register are not obliged to be
entered upon the Poll List. Enrolment upl
on the Great Register merely secures their
freedom to enter their names upon the Poll
List without question, and without having
again to prove tLeir citizenship. No person
can vote, Great Register or not, unless he be
enrolled on the Poll Lists. Let this be dis
tincty borne in mind. 1t is absolutely nee,
essary to te enrolled cn the Poll LIS, and
this must be done before the 3Oth day pre-
ceeding an election. The Poll Lists are
kept by the Clerk of election in every elec
ton precinct.
The Oregon ELECT Last week the
Radicals boasted Of a clean victory in the
Oregon election, from Governor to Legsla
ture; the returns since have rather cast a
shadow upon their high pretensions. The
latest news from that quarter, is dispatch
from the Governor Of Oregon to Governor
Low, that the Blacks have carried their State
ticket by majorites ranging from so to GOO.

that the so,cal!ed Union State ticket is all
elected. 1t is possible that the legislative
candidates elected under that organization,
comprise majority of the Legislature; but
we most emphaticalIy deny it to be a victory
of the radicals in the interest of Congress,
and against the policy of the President
The Unionists Of Oregon kept that issue out
Of the canvass. They dared not make it
and the result is, that their victory, if they
have obtained one, is fruitIess so far as op

Gov. Gibbs speaks of so as one Of their
majorities on the State ticket. We suppose
this to be on the Gubernatoral candidate.
If this all the majority for their candidate,
that they can claim, iu the absence Of official
returns, he cannot consider himself fairly out
Of the woods yet-and we consider it an
open question as to who is elected Governor.
In any event the result is encouraging to
Democrats. Two years ago the Blacks car
ried the State by 2700 majorily--now So
