Doubtless churches will increase ac-
sording to the demand for them, and
the statistics of our cities indicate that
at the present time the large majority
do not care to hear the gospel. How to
reach the non-worshiping masses is the
great practical question of the day.
The statistics that follow are believed
to be substantially correct: The popu-
lation of Boston is $4,000. There are
one hundred places of worship, allow
ing six hundred seats for each church,
and sc, 900 only got into the churches,
leaving 132, 900 out of church on Sun
day. There are $50 chapels and churches
in New York city, many Of them very
small; allowing that there are slttings
for 700 persons in each upon an aver
age. the churches will accommodate
$50, 600 people. There are, probably,
including strangers in transition, 95O,-
600 people in New York every Sunday,
leaving 700, 900 that could not get seats
in church. Allowing 100000 for those
physically incapacitated from attend
Ing service, and 500, 900 remain habltu-
aliy absent from church. The churches
in the United States number about TO-
600. Allowing 100 for each, a large av-
erage for the country, 1000, 900 only 60
to church, leaving 23,O0O,OO0 ont OF
church.

pa..age OF the Regi.,rasien Law.

The new Registration Law, known a.
MCWuoRTEE's Substitute was passed
by both Houses on yesterday. 1t differ,
but little from the original bill, report
ed by Mr.. FURGCsoN, an analysis o
which, from the pen of Mr.. LAMB has
already appeared in these columns
The chief difference seems 10 be, the
omission of the list of questions which
the FrRGUsoN law provided might be
propounded by the Board of Registra-
tion to the applicant for the enrolment.
The provision requiring the appoint
ment of township Registrars, also ap-
pears in the present as in the old Regis
tration Law.
The clause empowering the Governor
10 appoint, instead of permitting the
people to elect the Registrars as was
proposed by Mr.. LAMBS substitute; the
provision requiring the applicant for
registration "to make it appear that he
isa qualified voter" upon pain of rejec-
tion: the prescription of an oath other
than any authorized by the Constitu-
tion, even as amended last Spring; the
absence of any provision enabling an
injured party 10 appeal from the action
OF the Boards of Registration, and the
express enactment that their decisions
shall be final except in cases of con-
tested elections before either House of
the Legislature; the general and unlim-
ted control given to the Registrars over
the right of suffrage, and above all the
claus: permitting the Registrars to "re-
anire Amy applicant for registration to
answer upon oath any questions rhich
may BE- asked him, touching his legal
right to vote" are among the leading
and most obnoxious features Of the new
law. 1t may he truthfully said that
many powers which the Boards OF Reg
iStratiou have heretofore usurped, are
now given them by legislative enact
ment, and that others which even the
most corrupt among them never claimed
have been vested in them to meet the
imperious necessities of the dominant
party. The Governor remains as
heretofore, the autocrat OF suf-
frage in West Virginia and
for whatever liberties he permits
us still to enjoy. we must thank the i'm
becility of his intellect rather than the
generosity of his heart. fany vestige
of Democratic rights and privileges
shall survive his future efforts for their
destruction, it will be due to the be-
nignant Providence which in giving
him the disposition to execute, denied
him the ability to devise the measures
necessary for the total annihilation OF
our freedom.
1t is not our purpose at this time to
attempt minute description OF the IN
uuitous character and tendencies of this
odious measure. Such terms as would
fifty and justly present the case may be
in the language, but they are not at our
command. 1t will be for those who
have conceived this monstrous wrong
TO delineate its features and set forth its
effects. 1t is reserved for the authors OF
this Few infamy to unfold its purposes,
develop its character, and work out its
results in the overthrow of popular
freedom and the disgrace of American
citizenship. Only those who struck the
blow can paint the fearful ruin they
