Registry Law.

We had in Nebraska, previous to Its
repeal by a Democratic Legislature, a
law requiring the ballots to be number
ed. This law was well guarded against
any intimidation of the voter by impos-
ing a heavy fine upon either Judge or
Clerk for divulging the names Of the
parties voted for by any voter. This
law vas intended to prevent fraud, ille-
gal voting and TO shorten contests, by
making it possible for the legal authori.
ties to ascertain how any individual or
precinct voted where fraud or illegal vot.
ing may be charged. To say that it isa
strange phenomenon for an honest party
10 oppose a law SO fair is mild I; TO say il
was abolished by Democracy to give a
better change for fraud. sounds harsh /;
but the intent seems to approximate most
nearly to the latter, especially as that
party have gloried in its repeal.
Nebraska needs a Registry Law. Sit.
uated, as it is beyond the turmoil and
confusion Of all the States where rebels
are disfranchised our i~nfantile Territorial
form of Government seeming to offer an
asylum for such, and receiving constant
accessions to our population, of whose
antecedents we know absolutely nothing,
we think Nebraska needs a sound Reg
islry Law. Wherever such a law is in
force it is opposed only by copperheads,
rebels or jOhnsOnites I; and we have yet
TO hear a loyal journal or man oppose
such laws. No loyal man or honest DEM
ocrat will bpgrudge the time spent in
registering his name ia order to preserve
the purity of the ballot box.
We hope our Legislators will take this
matter into consideration and post them
selves, so as to act adVisedly in the prem

A County Poor Farm.

Nemaha county is old enough to have
a Poor Farm, and will never have one
younger. The investment is a good one
at any time, but especially while the
county is new and land may be had at a
reasonable price. We know not what
our Commissioners have done IN this
matter, but hope that action will not be
delayed, as with the present emigration
and good crops land will certainly go up
rapidly in value for several years to come.
The expense now for the Poor in this
county will amount to near $50 per week
which amounts to considerable in a wear.
and this is naturally on the increase. A
Poor Farm, if rightly managed, can be
made TO sustain the county poor, and pay
an interest on the first investment even.
