REGISTRY LAw.-Our Legislature is
Republican, and if it does its duty as an
honest and faithful body, much of the pri.
vate legislation which occupied the time of
former legislatures will be dscountenancsd,
What is done should be solely with view
to the best interests of the people, not of
the Republican party or of the Democratic
party, but of the people. Such measure is
a Registry Law. The experience of the last
election serves to strengthen the conviction
OF honest men. .as to its necessity. Frauds
doubtless have always been perpetrsted at
elections, and always will he so long as men
are found dishonest enough to SEQ no end
in them beyond the success of their candi.
dates. But every measure which makes it
nearer impossible to cast fraudulent votes
should be adopted by our Legislature, if il
does not cucumber or prevent the free exer-
else OF the elective franchise by those who
have the right to exercise it. Of course
every attempt to effect this will be resisted
by the Democratic party, a large per centags
OF whose voters belong to that class which
can readily be used by it in any attempt to
override the wishes Of the lawful voters.
Honest elections are always hurtful to the
Democracy. Stringent election laws, how.
ever fair and impartial, are invariably resist.
ed by Democratic journals.
Now is the time to prevent repetition
Of the disgraceful experiences Of the last
election, and they are so fresh in the memo.
ry of every member that he must see the
necessity of doing something. Care should
be taken to make the provisions of the law
as simple,yet as stringent as possible.
In addition to this, Congress should do
something toward stopping the leaks in our
naturalization laws. AS they now stand, ir
our principal cities where foreigners most
dc congregate, it would be little worse if
there were no restraints upon the voting at
all. So long as We jealously withhold the
right of suffrage from large class of native
born citizens, might we not do wisely to
protect it from foreigners who cannot posi-
bly, understand Anything about the genius
and spirit of our institutions Let the law
be framed that none can vote until he is ne.
turalized, and none can be naturaized until
legally entitled so to be.

THE supprN RISE AND FALL OF Coal. :

TIE SUDDEN RISE AND FALL OF Coal. -
A few weeks since our community was sur
prised to learn that coal had advanced about
two dollars per ton. OF course, this sudden
advance on an article Of necessity, to more
than war prices, in time of peace, was based
on no Legitimate law Of trade, but was the
work of rascally spectators. This sudden
and extravagant advance finds no favor
with intelligent operators in the shamokin
or schuylkill regions. Some may, tempora.
rily, profit by it, but in the end they arc the
sufferers. Miners and railway officials take
advantage of 1t, in raising wages and Tolls
The primary cause of this advance was
caused by the Scranton coal spectators IN
New York. The advance did not hold out
long in New York, and we learn, that in
schuylkill Haven, the prices of some kinds
of coal have already declined one dollar and
fifty cents per ton. The Pottsville Miners
Journal, speaking of the sudden rise, which
it terms "The Rascality of Speculation, says ::
"The New York TRIBUNE, few days
since, in speaking of the great pressure in
the money market, said:
"Tbe present depression is caused by a
democratic ring, who have locked up
"twelve to fifteen millions to break all
"values, and assisted by secret sales by the
Treasury, they have been able to give an ap-
'pearance of want Of confidence to our
securities that is entirely artificial and
"false"
One of the objects was to create the i'm.
preston that the election of Grant would
result in depressing instead of beneittng
the business of the country in that re.
spect they will fail, although these gamblers
will put millions into their own pockets by
buying up these very securities al the reduc-
ed rates, caused by these nlsnipulations.
The high prices of coal were caused by
two or three spectators, who had a large
quantity of coal to receive from the Scranton
Company, who ran up the prices regardless
of the interests ofproducers and consumers
ana probably pocketed not less than $50 OOC
by the operation. The high prices obtained
by the Company at the last sale remunera
ted them for the loss sustained in furnish
ing the quantity still due purchasers, at the
lower rates.

GENERAL OF THE ARMY.-There is so
much discussion of the law creating the
grade of General of the Armies, under which
General Grant was appointed. that it has
been deemed necessary to publish the act in
question. 1t is, in full, as follows; "The
President is hereby authorized, whenever he
shall deem it eXpedient, to appoint, by and
with the advice of the Senate, a General of
the army of the United States, selected from
among those officers in the military armies
most distinguished for courage, skill and
ability, who, being commissioned as Gener-
al may be authorized, under the direction
and pleasure of the President, TO command
the srrniss OF the United States"
