RE REGISTRATION REQUISITE.


The fact Of a vacancy occurring In the Board
of Aldermen, through the resignation of Mr.
Wheeler, of the Seventh Ward, raises the q ues-
ton whether a registration will be neces-
sary in that ward prior to an election 10 Ill
the vacancy. Wnder the law Of Congress there
seems TO be no doubt that not only will it be
requisite to go through the registration again,
but that all the other forms of posting the lists
ten days prior to the election, and sitting two
days to correct the lists five days prior to cleo
ton, Will have to be carried out. Should the
committee on elections In the Lower Board
decide that any OF the members OF that Board
are DISC qualified. 1t may make necessary re-.
registration in other wards.
The law reads that 1t shall be the duty OF
the Judges OF election .sprior to each election,
TO prepare list OF the persons qualified to vote
in the several wards of said cities in any elec.
ton; and said in dyes shall be in open session
OF their respective cities, to receive evidence
OF the qualifications of persons claiming the
right vote in any election therein, ana for cor
recting said lists n two days. not exceeding
five day prior 10 each election for the choice
OF city officers, giving prior notice Of the time
and place OF each session In some newspaper' .
and that ssprior to said election the said Judges
In the respective cities shall post up list OF
voters thus prepared in one or more public
places in said cities, and at least ten DAYS
prior thereto"

EMIGRATION TO THE sOUTU

While Virginia and some of the other South
ern States are only just beginning to awake to
the importance Of encouraging Immigration,
and those public-spirited and far-seeing cit-
zens whorecognize the great ad vantages which
would result from an influx of population,
have TO contend with the prejudices OF those
old fcges, who, by keeping up the price of
their lands, ard other means, try to drive of
settlers; we see that Texas, by pursuing a
more commoR-sense policy, Is growing rap
idly. There is Rot only great increase
or population that State, but n
more than corresponding augmentation of
wealth Already the population of six
or seven hundred thousand previous to
the war, has been Increased in Texas to at least
one million, and every day we see in our ea .
changes notices of emigrant trains moving In
that direction. Population is flowing into the
State from Europe as we'll as from the South
ern States east of the Mississippi. 1t tends
there because provisions are cheap and abua-
dant; lands cheap, and to be had on the most
reasonable terms; and strangers are generally
welcomed from any quarter II they bring either
money or muscle. Let Virginia and the other
southeastern States offer similar Inducements
10 engrant. and they will be equally benefit
ted. for no one would leave the rich lands and
fine climate OF those States to go all the way to
making a living IN the southeast as in the south
west. Let our neig hit ors in Virginia Kentucky
Tennessee, and the Carolnas ponder these facts.

No SNoKA-The problem OF making fur
naces consume their own smoke has long been
difficult one, but it seems about to be, If It has
not already been, solved In England. Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, and other OF our smoky
American cities, will, it is hoped, soon be able
TO clean up, and permanently substitute paint
and white wash for coal dust and smoke. The
IaH MoH Gazette describes the new invention
as follows
1.-The mouths Of the short chimneys or Gu.
poias OF the blast furnaces are closed, aud the
smoke and Gas are carried down and brought
round by means OF iron pipes TO the fireplace
OF the engine which keeps up the blast. These
pipes discharge just in front OF small, bright
&C he fire, in passing over which their contents
get kindlsd, and so feed the engine. Thus the
saving in fuel isjmmpnse, the fire in the smelt-
lug furnace being made to do almost double
duty, and the consumption OF smoke is q gain
10 all concern. d. Probably the pian admits Of
extension, SO that by land by acts for forciag
manufacturers to consume their own smoke
may not be quite such dead letter as they ma We
hitherto be6n.n
