! We have received printed copies of
the Registry Bills now pending in the
Senate and House at the State Capt.
tai. From cursory examination of
them, we are inclined to prefer the
House Bill. but either of them, with
the amendments proposed. will, if
faithfully enforced, accomplish the
much desired object-greater purity
0fthe ballot-box We were surprised
at the statement made by our Indian
apolis Correspondent, that there was
much apathy evineed among Legisla-
tors on the subject. and that it was
possible no law would be passed dur
ing the present session. We can hard
ly believe that measure of so much
Importance, and one upon which both
parties appear to be so nearly agreed,
will be passed over without any action.
The members Of the Legislature viii
have failed in7their duty to their con-
stituents, if they neglect to pass such
a law as will protect the ballot-box
from abuse, and make our elections
the correct expression of the voice of
the people. The Republican party,
by the recommendation :. Of the
Governor IN his message, by the gen.
seral expression Of its1preggss,. an, by
the pledges Of ITS leaders, IS commit
tied to. the passage Of strict Registry
Law, and the people will hold it re-
sponsible if one islnot passed by the
Legislature, which has so large Re-,
publican majority in both branches.
II is needed all over the State, but
more especially in the border coun-
ties. Vanderburgh and other counties
of the First District have deep in
terest in its passage. If the proposed
Congressional Apportionment bill be-
comes law, this District will be very
close, and possibly few illegal votes
would change the result Of a hard
fought and honestly won campaign.
Tf good Registry Law is passed, we
have confidence that we can elect
Republican Congressman. But with
out it. we are at the mercy of the
tricksters and ballot-box suffers OF
the Copperhead party and their rebel
allies across the border. We trust
that our Representatives will see to it.

ture are properly framed apd pushed

Iris announced as piece of very
pleasing intelligence, in Richmond
paper, that General SHERIDAN's re-
fusal to allow great parade of funer-
al honors at the burial of A. S. JOHN

by many at the North, is wholly in
consistent with either the sentiment
Of chivalry and humanity" Very
likely this is so. Many things that
General SHERIDAN has done within
lthepast years, have been severely cen

We hate with q most perfect ha-
tired the practice of many modern
pretended Christians who preach
about the Immortality of the sonl;o n

same individuals as brutes on Mon
day, and all succeeding days Of the
week. Say ye Democratic Chris
tians, and some Republicans o,did
Christ die for all, or did he make an
exception Of the "niggers. Say,
have "niggers" souls that are immor-
tai, destined to endless bliss Or woe,
and yet are not to be trusted with a
ballot id these United States? Say,
what will You do, if you shauld meet

The most cruel, horrible and heart
rending punishment known to man,
is that which is inflicted upon the in
nocent or on individuals who Lave
committed no voluntary crimes
Hence the efforts Of indiscreet men,
some years ago, in this country, to
abridge the rights of those who were
born in another country, simply be-
cause they were foreigners, and not
because of any voluntary crime or
wrong, was very cruel and ihhuman.
So it is with the colored people of
this country. The Democratic par
ty opposes all efforts at their eleva-
ton and enfranchisement, not be-
cause of disloyalty or crimes, but
because they are black, an incident
over which they had no possible CON
troll. Are men responsible for where
they were born, or for their COM
plexions Are negroes black of
their own volition Had they any
saw or choice about the matters !?
Punish men without distinction,
for voluntary and deliberate crimes
but not for that for which they can
in no way be held responsible. Rea-
der if you are not entirely destitute
of humanity, ponder this matter.
