REGISTRATION. We have been frequently
asked recently why Registration does not COM
mepce in the several counties and towns OF
Virginia, as provided for under the military
bills In reply We would say, that the officers
entrusted with this duty are awaiting orders
and instructions from headquarters at Rich
mond, as we are informed by one of these gentle
men. Gen SchoGel1, we presume, is awaiting
for instructions tromthe Attorney General otthe
United States defining who can register and
vote under the military bills, as much differ
ence Of opinion exists upon these points. =
Registration will probably commence early 10
June, aud be completed before the expiration
of that month.
We hope every one Of our people will reei:-
ter who is entitled to do So We have no idea
that we should get back into the Union, or
gain representation in Congress, by complying
with the terms of the military bills, but we
must comply, nevertheless, in order to keep
the organization of our STATE government IN
the hands of our own people. If after doing
this, We should still be excluded from Con
gress, as we will be, The fault will rest wlthonr
enemies and not with US Lynchburg Rep.

RADICAL MEETING. The call for mass

to take place in this village last Friday, to

Mn, HORACE GREELEY is assailed by the
N. Y. Commercial (Thurlow Weed, and the
N. Y. Post, (IV. @. Bryant,) for his course in
relation to Mr.. Davis. The NJ f1Iribune
thus retorts:
1t was as a traitor, and not as an assassin,
that Mr.. Davis was held, and as such ne should.
have been keptin jail Butwhy keep him |, IN JalE
Treason is a crime, and crime, according TO
Mr.. johnson that should be punished: There
is lawful way of Furnishing men In TINS copn-
try. 10 keep man prison without 'ria A. IS
a violation of law. not obedience to It. Dir.
Davis may have committed many crimes--so
many indeed that, according to one hoWllll 5t
Pha1isec, it is disgrace and reproach to our
country that he should ever be permitted to
desecrate with his traitor footprints the soil Of
| free State But how do we know that be
committed crimes? There is but one way of
knowing 1.-THE verdict of twelve trusty men.
Because Mr.. Davis is criminal, must we also
be criminal? Because he is known to have
| committed treason, must we also commit what
is certainly moral treason to the Constitution
| If it IS right to take Jefferson Davis, citizen,
and imprlson him two years without Judge or
Jury why not citizen Thurlow Weed, or citizen
| William Cullen Bryant? But it is popularity
believed that Mr. Davis is a traitor, and that,
as traitor, he should long ago have been
hanged Well, it is also popularity believed
that if Mr. Thurow Weed had his deserts he
would long ago have been in Sing Sing. We
have no legal knowledge of the fact Mr.. Weed
has never been arrested nor tried; nor has
even an Indictment been found. He is at
liberty, aud so long as he is not legally accused
we shall insist that he remain at liberty, and,
if necessary, VIC shall find twenty bondsmen
who will answer for his security until tried.
The principle is the same, whether it applies
to Davis or Weed, or citizen Dermot, arrested
for assault and battery The law has no pre-
judices--the Constitution no popular pun
ishmeDts.

Republican Corruption Fund in
Connecticut. sEs


1t turns out, as we expected it would,
that the declarations of Republican CORES
pondents in Connecticut, that the Demo-
Gratis had all the money they needed, and
that the Republicans had the utmost diff
Guilty in obtaining enough to pay the most
ordinary expenses of the campaign, was
merely blind to cover up vast corrup-
tion fund they were accumulating to use
the last week of the canvass. The Ne,o
HdUen Daily Register speaks of this fund as
having been '.gigantic" and used by the
Republicans ''with consummate adroitness
and skill in manufacturing towns and dis
tricts, where money could be used to the
greatest advantage" The Hartford Times
says that while the Democrats "had little
aid from abroad" their opponents, charg-
ing the Democracy with using money to
cover up Republican corruption and the
floods of money which were brought to
bear against" them ''hGd all they aodnted."
This fact makes the Democratic success
in Connecticut wear more encouraging
aspect. Having had the benefit of pretty
much all the Republican stumping talent
in the country and gigantic corruption
fund to assist them, the Republican defeat
under these circumstances, admits of but
one rational Interpretation, and that is,
that the majority of the voters of that
State are resolved to stand by the Consti-
tuition and the Union, and that there must
be change OF political parties.
