THE REGISTRY LAW.

We publish, on our outside, a copy
of the Registry Law, passed at the late
session of the Legislature. This Know
Nothing gag should be thoroughly
studied by every Democrat, so that he
and his friends may not suffer disfran-
chisement under it. File it away for
reference. ,. t.. -..., H.
We ask people to note,
/. That under this law, o1 0dioas dis
crinadadtion is made against foreign born
citizens. Germans, Englishmen, Welsh
men, Scotchmen, who have hitherto
voted the Republican" ticket, behold
how your party strikes at your citizen
ship! Is such party favorable to
equal rightsP
,. That it puts every citizen who
would exercise the right of suffrage, to
much trouble and vexation, in atten-
dance upon the meeting Of the board of
registration, making proof of his right
to vote, &c.
3. That it changes the hour of clos
ing the polls from seren to sic O'Clock,
thus aiming to disfranchise the labor
ing classes. ......
4. That it entails an additional eX-
pense of thousands of dollars upon the
taxpayers, for extra services on the
part of Assessors and Election officers.
). That ii is in direct conflict with
the Constitution of Pennsylvania,
which defines the qualifications of Il
voter as follows:
''In elections by the citizens, every
white person Of the age of twenty one
wears. having resided in this state one
year. and in the election district where
he offers to vote ten days Immediately
preceding such election, and within
two years paid q state or county tax,
which shall have been assessed at least
ten days before the election, shall en-
ioy the rights of an elector.'

SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.

There have recently been held in
Georgia and North Carolina, elections
to ratify the Negro Reconstruction
Constitutions, and for State officers and
members of Congress. These elections
have been continued for four or five
days, in order to enable the negroes to
repeat their votes ut different polls.
They were managed on the Radical
side by the agents of the Freedmen's
Bureau. Notwithstanding the disfran-
chisement of large numbers of the
whites, the contest in each Of these
states, was a very close one. Many ne
groes, already disgusted with Radical
treachery and meanne5s, voted the
Democratic ticket. Dem mules"
promised them by the ''carpet-baggers," "
have not been forthcoming. At this
writing it is not known whether the
Negro Constitutions are ratified or not.
At the elections on the Convention
question, some months ago, in Georgia
and North Carolina, the Radical Ne
groes carried those States by large ma
jorities, the latter by $4,000. Now, they
are close. Negro Suffrage will be the
death of Radicalism yet.

The High Old Court of Impeach-
ment," having ruled out the evidence
proposed to be given by the President
in proof of his proper and lawful in
tent in attempting to remove Stanton,
the defence closed their part of the
case. Itwas offered by the Presidents
counsel to prove, by the members of
the Cabinet, that Johnson's motive in
attempting the removal of Stanton,
was to bring the Tenure of Office Bill
to judicial test. in order that the ques-
tion of it validity might be decided
by the proper tribunal. 1t was also Of
fered by them to prove, by the same
witnesses, that Stanton and the re-
mainder of the Cabinet advised the
President that the Tenure of Office
Bill is unconstitutional, and that Stan
ton and Seward made the draft of the
message in which the President vetoed
that Bill. None of this evidence was
admitted, Notwithstanding the fact that
Chief Justice Chase ruled it to be clear
ly admissible. This action of the Sen
ate shows that the President is being
tried by packed jury, incapable of
giving him a fair and impartial trial.
His removal seems to be a fOregOne
conclusion. 4 majority of the Senate
had made up their minds to convict
him, before they heard any of the evil
dence in the case. Their partiZans
openly and shamelessly proclaim that
johnson must be convicted and gotten
rid of, right or wrong! They say such
a course is dictated by party necessity! {!
They besiege those Radical Senators
who have refused to commit themselves
to their desperate scheme, with threats
and all sorts of party appliances, i'll or
der to force them to vote for cOnvic-
ton! Expectants of Office under
Wade, are in the lobby, button-holing
and dragoOning Senators to vote for
conviction! Radical newspapers are
hectoring Senators 10 compel them to
vo for conviction Even the pulpit
(hide your faces, ye followers of the
meek and lOwly Nazarene) is belching
forth its anathemas against Senators
who are suspected of being against con-
viction! Call We this Justice: Call ye
this a fair and impartial trial? His
tory will record it as the crOwning
shame of that party, which, in order
to retain its leaders in office, has chang
ed our form of government and now
seeks to destroy the whole fabric of Re
publican liberty.
A few more days will end this wicked
and infamous proceeding. y few more
days will determine whether there is
virtue enough left in the Senatorial
SOdom TO save it from the, fire and
birthstone of the Coming Wrath.

A NEW SECRETARY OF WAR.

The President, on Friday last, with
drew the nomination of Thomas Ew-
ing, as Secretary of War, and appoin-
ted Gen. John NJ. Schofeld, the pre-
sent commander of the Virginia Mil
itary District. SchofieId is a "Repub-
lican," and by this appointment the
President shows that his reasons for
desiring Stanton's removal, are perso-
nal and not political. Is Johnson, then,
to be removed for trying to put out one
Republican" in order that another
may take his place? Schofield is one
of the great Union commanders yet,
we venture to predict, that the Senate
will not confirm him.

Democratic Gain, since last year, $500
The "black hole' of Chicago has been
redeemed! At the election held in
that city, on the 21st ult., for Recorder
and Clerk of the Courts, the Democrat
ic candidates were elected by nearly
1000 majority. The vote was a heavy
one. The whole vote cast was 23, $50; last
year the whole vote WIS 1850. This
year the vote stood: Democratic, 12,-

net Democratic gain of 1891! That

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make it point to furnish his Re-
publican neighbor a copy. This is
the plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
time that Democrats do something Of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO WORK
and pat yO,G' Democratic newspaper into
tie hands Of ere,y Republican whO ciN
read. If you will do this you will
accomplish more good in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate DEM
0cratic newspapers at very small
cost We appeal to them to see 10 get
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.
