Upon that day as now there was q Dem

the speakers was Horatio Seymour, then Gov.

Ills party. lie said that the authorities which
were directing the armies were despo.s aud

the Government were In dapger--not from the
rebels on the hills at Gettysburg and entrench-
ed in vicksburg and Port Hudson--but from
the lawful authorities; that the arrest Of VAL

And even while he asked, at Gettysburg

rHE REGISTRY LAW.

The Registry Law aes bccn decided uncon-
stitutional. Judges Thompson, Sharswood
and Strong conc"ripg, Judges Agnew and
Read dissenting. We quite from the Phila-
delphta Prss,, and concur in demand fnr the
legislature in order 10 make the corrections In
the law as suggested by the Supreme Court Of
the State. The Press says.
The Supreme Court decided, by bare ma.
jority, that the act passed by the Legislature
April I, 1868, to project the honest exercise of
the elective franchise, as far as it applies to
the city of Philadelphia, is unconstitutional
Chief Justice Thompson delivered the opinion
Of the court which was concurred in by
Judge Sharswood and the conclusion of which
was agreed to by Judge Strong, for the SIM
pie reason that the phraseology OF the act wa;
bad. Judges Agnew and Read delivered dis.
senting opinions (Which we publish,) fully
sustaining the act, and expressing the belief
that It could be carried into effective opera
ton.
The court seems TO stand as follows In
favor Of q registry Inv, Judges Thompson,
Strong, Read and Agnew. and against any
such law, Judge Sharswood
Whether the wise provisions of this most
wholesome law shall be delayed for another
year depends upon the Executive of the State.
1t is for him 10 say whether the Legislature
shall he re.conveneed and the corrections
made az suggested by the Supreme Court of
the State.
A stringent registry law, risidly enforced,
