Who Can Register.

The Norfolk Day Book has the following
very brief and clear statement, showing who
can register. Following it no man can go
wrong:
REMEMBER no citizen can vote in the
State of Virginia unless his name appears upon
the registry of voters.
Every citizen can register who has never held
any State or Federal Office before the war, and
has never taken an oath, as such officer, to sup
port the Constitution of the United States.
Every citizen can register who has taken such
oath as such officer, but has never afterwards
voluntarily given aid and comfort to the rebel
lion.

Medical science has devised a method for
curing club-foot in children. A few years ago
the experiment of cutting the tendon was tried,
and so successful was the result that this me-
thod is now generally adopted. When the case
is treated in infancy, about twelve weeks gen.
orally suffice for cure if due attention is paid
to the patient. After the tendon has been cut,
Instruments are applied to keep the foot in the
proper position and as in this case mature
abhors vacuum" the sinew is united by new
growth of tendon

The outcry of the Republican press against
the opinion of Mr.. Stanbery, is universal and
violent. Raymond and Greeley are as furious
as the worst Of them. The call is loud for a
July session Of Congress to put fresh gall in the
cup presented to the South. The indisposition
of the majority of the members to summer
session,-hot, unhealthy expensive, and adding
nothing to their PAYS very great, however
and will be hard to overcome.

Not a fnality.

Frightened by the bare possibility oft the fall
ure of all their schemes to crush the Southern
States beneath the wheels of the Radical car OF
Juggernaut, the trainers of the Reconstruction
bills. says the Richmond EnaDainer, have de-
termined that they shall not be 'fnality. y
There is to be still more legislation and all that
has been done in accordance with the military
bill is to be disregarded, or bent, turned and
twisted to suit the views of the men who have,
for four months, called Heaven to witness that
the military bill was to be sacredly respected as
a ''inality.
1t is now conceded upon all hands that Con
gress is to meet in July for the express purpose
of breaking faith with the South. The military
bill they believed was so harsh and proscriptive
that it had rendered reconstruction impossible.
Congress adjourned after its passage, not to
meet again until December, unless hostility up
ON the part of the South to their bill, and the
failure of the President to enforce, rendered
session in July necessary. Calling on every
leading Radical organ as witness, there has
been no resistance of the Southern people to the
military bill. We have accepted our fate as any
other disarmed and powerless people would
have accepted the terms of the conqueror. We
have not thrust our bare breasts against the
bayonets, we have obeyed the orders of the
Military Rulers of the Five Districts, and we
are, at this time, most actively registering II
accordance with the order regulating that pre-
liminary measure to the exercise of the right o.
suffrage. The Southern States have been Sc
exempt from acts of violence of late, also, anc
the rights of the freedmen have been SO unlveral
" respected, that the Radicals have boasttully
attributing the pretended change for the better
to the wholesome effects of that legislation
which has virtually abolished the supremacy Of
all State, organic and statute laws. But tn
Radicals, having become alarmed at the rapid
ity with which the work of reconstruction wa
progressing at the South, have of late beer
haunted by the vision of ten reconstructed
Southern States asking for the admission
their members of Congress next winter.
Their clamorous demands upon us to ''accep
the situation we now have every reason
to believe, were false and hypocritical offers
They were lights to cheat and deceive us, llk'
those with which wreckers illumine dangerous
shores to tempt mariners to dash their ships tt
pieces upon the breakers.

At the instance of many distinguished Re-
puJltcans, the President has pardoned General
Longstreet. This is the first case in which an
individual has been pardoned who left the Uni
ted States Army to join that of the Confedera.
cy. 1t would seem from this, that many dis
tinguished Republicans" since the late letters
of Gen. Longstreet, consider him very good
Republican, ''What fall was there, my coun-
trymen!"

The Treasury Report-BOnda Of the
Smithsonian Institute.
Treasurer Spinner will soon propose to Con-
gresS to sell all the stocks now held in trust for
the Smithsonian Institution, Indian annuities,
ETC.. and place the avails in the Treasury.
Such process -ould make these transactions
SO simple as to relieve the Department from
much extra labor, and all the matters pertaining
10 trust funds would be better understood by
Congress and by the people. Had such law
existed ten years ago, the great larceny of In

could not have been perpetrated.
The Report of the Secretary of the Treasury
will not be sent to Congress until the day after
the reception of the Presidents Message. 1t has
been completed and in type for several days,

country, with the customary injuncions as to
its delivery to the newspapers The Secretary
denies the accuracy of the abstracts which

general financial views, and reference to his
