General Sickles and tho Street Gar

Ever since General Sickles has been
placed 10 command Of this Department,
his detractors every W here. from all kinds
Of motives, have invented ISLANDERS and
hbels agains. him OF every shade and
form. Generally these stories have 6hiy
bad currency in obscure and irresponsible
sheets like the Metropolitan Record. the
La Crosse Democrat, and the like; and
the respectable press, as also the personal
friends Of General .Sickles, have hitherto
deemed it beneath them TO notice these
malicious libsls, and impotenty spi,efaI
assaults. But now, to our surprise, we
find the National Inteiligencer, for private
reasons OF its own, copy and pretend 10

it.copies "from Northern paper" |, ID

Reasons Assigned for net Registering.

We understand that many persona are
deferred from registering, under the appre
bensiou that they cannot conscientiously
subscribe 10 the required oatS. Some stu'
pidly confound the oath wL.ch members of
the Board Of Registers take with The oath
for voters. Once for all, we tell such that
they are not required to take the "test
OATH" or ss il is more popularity termed,
the Iron clad" The latter is only in
tended for persons who accept office under
the Government Of the United Stales, and
is not required Of those who apply to have
their names registered as voters.
Others there are, who having partici
pated in the rebellion. think that they
cannot subscribe the registration oath,
because in that they are required to 8 wear
that they are not disfranchised for partl-
cipa,on in the rebellion. They interpret
the oath TO mean, that if they have parti.
cipated in the rebellion, they are thereby
disfrsncbised. This is clear misappre.
tension OF the correct meaning of the oath.
The person does lot swear that he has
not participated in the rebellion, but only
that he is not diJranchiSed for such par.
ticipaton. The Act of Congress defines
the persons who are disf an chised II
does not make participation in the re
belIion cause Of disfrsnchisement, and
only disfrauchises those who, besides co
gaging 10 the war. were also, befure the
war. members of Congress, membets Of
the State Legislature, or executive or ju
dical officers Of the State or the United
States. No one, therefore. who did not
hold one Of the aforesaid Offices is dis.
franehised, no matter what part he may
have borne 10 the war, and all such can
safely take the registration oath.
We hope tina. none will be deferred
from discharyng the important duty Of
registration from false conceptions of the
meaning of the oath. Those who are
informed, should enligh,en their neigh.
bers, who may not be. Every man.
whether lie is disfranchsed or not, should
feel it his. duty to promote the work Of
registration, now going on, by enighten.
ing others as to their rights and du,ies-
Not many days will eI~pse before the op.
portunity to register will finally close, and
II the whites OF Lancaster do not avail
themselves Of the precious moments, 1t
will not be long before they will have
cause to regrst their present apathy and
negligence. In the name OF all that they
can regard as worth living for. we adjure
them to do their duty in this crisis.
