+ IMPORTANT DECISION REGARDING REGISTRATION.
The Territorial Enterprise publishes the decision
of the Supreme Court of Nevada, written by
Beatty and concurred in by Johnson, upon the
constitutional right of a citizen to insist upon
his registration voter without subscribing
to the oath required by the Act of Registration.
We learn from the journal named that the case
came up on a writ of mandamus, and the relator
claimed that that portion of the oath requiring
an applicant for registration to swear he had
"not voluntarily borne arms against the United
States or held any civic or military Office under
the Confederate States" was in conflict with
the constitution of the State. The court holds
that the constitution of the State in terms dis
franchies the class of persons not qualified to
take the oath, and that no amnesty or pardon
granted prior to the adoption of the constitution
would purge the party of the disability nor
would any subsequent pardon or amnesty of the
President alone be sufficient to raise the disabil-
ty, for the constitution specially designates that
such amnesty must be granted "by the Federal
Government, that is by Congress, whose acts
are participated in by the President. Hence
registry agents will understand that no person
who has borne arms or held Office under the
rebel government, since arriving at the age of
eighteen years, is qualified to vote, and that
their names are not to be accepted nor placed on
the registry lists.-Sacramento Bee.

NEW YORK FOR GRANT AND CoLFAx.-The Chi
cago Tribune of September 18th has the follow
ing =" A well-informed and influential Repub-
lican of New York city writes as follows to one
Of the editors of this paper &C Some of US tho t
New York doubtful until we heard from Vermont.
That operated like rap on our hive, and set all
the quiet bees to buzzing and working Not
withstanding the hope and confidence inspired
by Vermont, did not feel confident of this State
until the Copperheads of Maine were struck by
lightning on Monday. l am no longer a doubt

INDIAN ATRocITIEs.-The San Francisco Times
thinks it is about time that the policy which
feeds and arms the Indians should cease. To
appreciate the feelings of the frontier men when
they call for the shooting of Indians on sight,
one has only to read few such paragraphs as
the following, taken from the Frontier Inder -
Near Denver, possibly twenty EIGHT or thirty
miles away, was located small settlement of
white citizens with their families. few days
ago all the men but three or four were ont hunt
ing. Shortly after their leaving home band of
these hellish, copper-colored fends, numbering
one hundred and fifty, descended upon this
peaceful abode Of happy, industrious people.
The men were killed and scalped, the dwellings
burned with their contents. These scenes we
are accustomed to hear of every day, but that
which follows seems incredible. Seventeen wo-
men and girls were taken out and every one raw
isbed by the bloodthirsty hellhounds, not once,
nor twice, but six, eight, twelve, and one o.
them forty times. Not satisfied with THIS, tney
were mostly dismemAered, hacked to pieces,
some of them having their bowels torn ou' sna
flung in their faces Every one stu nplng "as S
compelled, by cuts and slashes OF the sni.e aho
blows across the face, to stand ana "Itnes' .ne

DANGER OF DIVISION Democrats endanger
harmony in the party by putting negroes on the
stump to advocate the cause of Seymour and
Blair. Albert Pike, the Arkansas tooth-pick
poet, and the mortal foe of "Northern huns
has retired in disgust from the editorial chair OF
the Memphis Avalanche. He is down on the con-
servative tendencies of the Democratic party,
and tim. maiestically gives vent to his feelings
mon the growing disposition of his friends to
shs ssTats SUPERIOR 1s shall not speak
unon uT1 a stand or platform where a negro sits
sppel;ne in the bloom of his majestic self-im-
nortance, expecting his speech to be reported in
the AUalanehe, and he declared an orator supe-
rior to many of another color. When negro
sneaker is sandwiched between two white ones,
to teach white men and white women political
truths, it will not be the entertainment to which
we have been invited"

FOUND TIE MAN.-The Virginia (Nevada) Tres
pass relates the following good one at the expense
of our former townsman, Jesse Pitzer :-Fergu-
son and Pitzer had wager about Washoe coun-
ty-that it was Democratic, etc. and agreed to
abide by the decision of Ahe first man they met
from the country Shortly after, they met dir
ty, seedy-looking, lank individual, who respond
ed to their query, that he was just from Washoe
and lived there. Pitzer politely asked, to settle
a wager, if he not Democrat. The stran-
ger looked at both Indignantly, and said, with
emphasis "Tve been working on the ditch from
Hunters, and am covered with mud, know, but
didn't think looked so id mean as to be ta-
ken for Democrat - Ereunt omnes.

Who MAY VorE.-The Concord Democrat, in
referring to the Copperhead cry about white
men being disfranchsed by Congress, says =
" Who may vote in the South? Everybody ex-
cept perjurers, rebels and murderers who would
disgrace halter. Everybody except few
faithless knaves who have spiced their treason
with the crime of political perjury. Everybody
except those who melted and engineered re-
bellion more infamous than that against heaven
after having officially sworn to be true to the
American republic. Everybody decent civil,
well disposed, or true to the flag of his coun-
try. Every man who has not raised his hand
against his government after swearing to honor
and support it. Every one who is not doubly
dead in trespasses and SIM Everybody whose
soul was not stepped in the blacklist crime
that the most devilsh infdelity and treason ever
inspired. Every whose voting would not be
a positive outrage to his State and country.
Everybody except few rebel leaders whom Sa-
tan would disfranchse. Everybody who deserves
to vote, and tens upon tens of thousands (oV
common rebels) who do not deserve to -who
have neither claim nor rght-but are generously
permitted to. Every man who does>not hsgrace
the mother who bore him and the green earth
that he treads In short, every man who has
either honor or humanity about him. Loyal
men and honest citizens are not debarred from
voting, and they never will be. Loyalty will
protect its own disciples, white or black, wher-
ever found"
