THE CITY AND THE RRGysTRr.

The thousands OF naturalizations of late daily
effected in the city shows that both parties aro
more or less in earnest the enemies of the city and
the psrtsans of the =" Ring" lave not ebate1 a
particle in notorious particular whatever may be
the safeguard Of fair aud wholesome Registry law.
We think it we'll 10 warn those whose vigilance
should be responsible that our opponents WI scrnple
at no device Of cunning by which honest registry
can be outwitted and cheated The runorthat thou
sands of foreignborn citizens are being Ttnaturazed
on purpose 10 secure their papers for the ready Of
illegal voters, may have its meaning. We advise all
trne friends Of the city to make speedy inquiry iato
this OF attack and. at all events, TO bee
upon their guard. a. .la ..r.I 30
We should have had eYena Lager registry thus far
were the spirit and letter Of the law intellisently
understood and heartily entered into By both the ip-
,pectors and tue local leadeE Of me people. BY next
session Of registry We seriously hope that eYery one
prominently interested in the election and al officers
Of the law win have taken every earnest means to
have voters thoroughly advised 10 their duty o.

We Judge thut, under the law, our correspondent
was reotinliy denied registration. The ground Of
refusal is contained in Article III, Section / tic
Constitution OF the State, which provides thai
"Eyery male citizen, OF the age Of twcnry-one ycats
who shall lave been citizen FOR ten days, and an IL
habtant OF this State one year next preceding any
election and Cor The last four mos.hs aredent Of the
county where he may offer his vote, shall be entted
to vote az sneh election, in the election district of
which he shall be at he tune resident and disc
,ohers for all officers that now are or hereafter may be-
elective By the people; bat such citizen shall have
been for thirty days nert PRECEDING the election resi-
den, OF the district from ,caith h, officer TO be chosen
| for whom he offers his vote" e.......-gs
The oath prescribed by Chapter VI, Article q Soc.
ton ~, OF tue hcVlScu SltIIltsi
all challenged voters, follows this provision Of the
Constitution with great exactness. As in the ease
suggested, the Congress and Assembly districts differ
it would seem that correspondent cannot vote the
tickets Of those districts in the wards wherein he will
reside on election day for want Of thirty days resi-
dence in such districts nor in his old ward for want
Of actual residence. In short, in order to vote one
must be an inhabitAnt of the State one year, -four
month"; resident Of his county, thirty days Of his
district next preceding the electon) and ten days
naturslired citizen +-,' ~ % .'''.'' --" --- 20
