REGISTERING Ex-coxFEDEEATEs

EDroR REPUBLICAN,
A word ii you please touching a mis-
chievous not to say culpable construction
Of the law under which registration is now
progressing. By macy registrars the law is
construed to exclude only those who held
office before and at the time they entered
the confederate service.
That construction is not the law. 1t is in
palpable violation of the plain letter of the
law, as found in section six of the supple,
ment Of July 10, 1861. It reads thus:
And belt further enacted, That the true
intent and meaning of the oath prescribed
in said supplementary act is (among other
| things) that no person who has held
| any executive or judicial office
in any state, whether he has taken an oath
to support the constitution of the United
States or not, or whether he was holding
such office at the commencement of the re
belion or had held it before, and afterWard
engaged in insurTeCtion or rebellion against
the United States, or given aid or comfort
10 tine enemies thereof, is entitled To De
registered or to vote, and the words execu,
tive or judicial Office in any state in said
oath mentioned shall be construed to IN.
clude all civil offices created by law for the
administration OF any general law of state,
or for the administration of justice.
Can language be palmer? Tfsuch persons
| proposing to register were in any civil office
before the war and at the beginning of the
rebellion had been out of such office five,
ten, twenty, or any number Of years, such
| person or persons must be excluded as
speedily rs the person who was in Office just
| before and at the instant of joining the re
| bellion. The registrars are bound to obey
law. A williul departure renders them cul
| pably and legally liable.
Another point OF warning Ifpersons who
| under the law are clearly entitled to regis.
| ter or to vote, but are excluded from either
| by the officers in charge, and such exclusion
/ emanates from willful disregard OF duty
superinduced by partisan spleen or other
wise, such eXcluded person or persons
can and will have a civil remedy by suit
against such registrar or other Officer
thus infringing upon inalienable rights. Ii
| other states such infraCtiOns have been tol
lowed by plenary damages. The present
registration and coming election form no
exception to the general principle. Where
there is a right there is a legal remedy, and
an appeal 10 the district commander is not
the only one. LAWYER.

CLnANING THR oANALs.

A resolution is pending in the board of
aldermen to authorize the employment by
the city surveyor of three hundred men for
the period Of thirty days to clean the drain
ing canals. II the city authorities are not
prepared to assume the fearful Responsibility
OF lenger imperiling the public health by
allowing the canals to remain in the terrible
concltlon they now are, they should in jus
tice to themselves, if not to the community,
act upon this question at once and without
delay.
Last year the present city surveyor. Mr,
Bell, furnished to this paper startling facts
relative to the condition of the draining
canals, and the necessity for cleaning
them. From all sections of the city
there were complaints about the
deplorable state of the canals which were
really reeking with filth, and were most Of
fensivc to the people residing near them,
who wrote communications strongly ex-
pressiye of their views. The canals we're
not cleaned. The terrible epidemic came.
prostrating business, and sweeping from ex-
istence moro than three thousand of our
people, retarding the prosperity of our city,
and revived the fears which the long inter.
val of freedom from epidemic had almost
entirely allayed.
Mr.. Surveyor Bell has again sent official
communications to the city council, urging
that this important matter should be at
tended to; and, at the request CT numerous
citizens, the street commissioner, Mr..
Baker, sent last week communication to
the city council relative to cleaning
the canals, in which he uses this forcible
language;
The season is advancing, and if thc work
Is much longer delayed it will not be posi-.
bic 20 clean them this season with safety to
the public health, or that of the men en-.
g2G8G ia thS work. In their present condi-
tion they are nearly useless as draining
canals, filed up as they are with mud and
Eth. To permit them to remain uncleaned
may cost the city large number of
valuable lives. At no time in the history
| OF this city has there been SO large surface
OF hlth in these canals exposed to the action
OF the atmosphere, and giving of such enor.
| nous quantities of poisonous and noxious
| gases, communicating the air for long dis
tance Oa all sides of them.
This communication was tortured by an
enterprising correspondent, who telegraphs
to the Louisville Courier, into declaration
that the street commissioner had asked au-
thority to employ "a thousand men, to
| clean out the canals, while the press gen.
orally of this city insisted that his zeal in
the matter was "sly electioneering dodge.
The REPUBLICAN has urged the cleaning
and publication of the draining canals again
and again. It ought to be done to protect
the public health, and the passage of the
resolution introduced weeks ago can not
much longer be delayed without prejudice
to the commercial interests and the sanitary
condition of the city. If opidemlcs eau be
averted or rendered less terrible and less
severe by clean streets and more perfect
drainage, all the people viii approve liberal
expenditures in the street commissioners
and surveyors departments for these OBJ.

Mr.. Houston, the agent of the Associated
Press, Informed US early last evening that
the wires were all down, and that the regu-
lar associated Press Dispatches would not be
received. The severity of the storm yester-
day, which must have extended consider
able distance, deprives our readers of theiE
usual kilograms from all parts Of the WORLD
and this will probably remind them that
there was time when all the news was
transmitted by mail, and that their disap-
