THE AscUTSEYvILLE MURDER.-The
evidence aceumulatgs Of the guilt of Mil
Ter. A merchant in the north part Of the
State where he lived writes to the sheriff
of Weathersfeld, that Miller stated there
Just before he left for Aseutneyyille, $ the
people are down upon me here, but know
where l can lay my hands upon five hun
dred dollars and | viii give them chance
to count it before the week is up" The
same letter says that he left there Monday
afternoon, which would have brought him
at Claremont bridge at the time he arriv-
ed, as before published. The Claremont
Advocate learns that a blood-stained shirt
supposed TO be his has been found near
Bellows Falls but that must be mis-
take, as no one here knows anything about

DEMOCRATS or RocGlNGuAM.-The
democracy Of this town cast nearly al
fourth Of the votes Of their entire party Of
this county. Indeed they are so respect
able in numbers that we cannot but feel
a fa,herly interest for their weliarel It
will be pleasure therefore to do all we
properly can to promote them in wisdom.
The great.moral question for them now is
whether they win support Phelps or Ed
wards for governor. We see shat the
democratic county convention at Fayette-
vile recommend Edwards, but then it
should be remembered that that machine
was run by The prophet at Milton and the
great apostle at Montpelier, and they
would Of course so for Edwards. As
stated elsewhere we know Of no political
difference between these two men, and if
the question is reduced TO men, why
Phelps is as far above Edwards, as our
State is this side of the tropic Of Capri
corn. 1t is understood a few democrats at
least in this town, would rather prefer to
vote for Phelps. We hope they will pom
der this question and in their decision be
governed BY an unusual amount of wis

The Registration Programme.

In our last issue. We gavo our views upon tho
plan Of Reconstruction and the Opinion OF
the Attorney General has since been pro..,'u
gated, which has furnished a definite solution of
n few Of the difficulties connected with the in
depreciation Of tho Acts of Congress 1t is a pity
that he has buried his views in such waste of
words, that one has to pick out the material
points, very much as gardener would try to
separate cabbage and turnip seeds in promis-
cuous pile.
Fortunately, lie has simplGcd the whole
matter in one respect and that is. in defining
the duties of Registers. They are simply to
see that no man his name registered until he
takes certain oath, and that no man is refused
the privilege Of registering who is willing to
take that oath. This throws the responsibility
upon each one for himself, and avoids the un-
pleasant state of affairs which has transpircd at
Now Orleans, where radical Registers had it all
their own way, and cheated by til wholesale
in favor Of their own party
We worked several hours over Mr.. Stan
bcrry's mass of words and after v,rious IN
cffcctual efforts to ccndcnsc his Opinion into a
size suitable for our limited space, and to
clothc his views in language more intclligiblc
to our readers, we gave up the ITcrculean task;
and instead of any condensation, we publish
the admirable synopsis of the document, which
we clip from the Charleston Mercury of We'd
ncsday last.
The Orangeburg news. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1867-1875, 1867-06-01

signed as perjury upon such unauthorized
oath:$S'r1. r.
NO authority is given to enter upon ahy
outside inquiry into the qualification sof the
person proposing to register, for the oath a.
self is the sole and only test of disqualification
of the applicant. If he take that oath ii his
name must go upon the registry; the board
cannot inquire whether he has sworn falsely
or truly; that inquiry must be reserved to the
court which may afterwards have jurisdiction
to try him on an Indictment for perjury. =
In experimenting the elections it is the
duty of the boards to receive the votes of tho
persons whose names are up for registration
and to reject all others. There is 10 provision
anywhere to surcharge or falsify,o or to add a
single name to the registration, or to erase O
single name which appears upon it.
