THE KEGIsTRArIoN PRESCRIPTION

The election for Judges Of the
Supreme Court and other Judicial
officers comes off on the 9th inst.
There are perhaps thousand white
men in this county who are fairly
entitled to vote under the franchise
law, who have been unable to OBJ
tain certificates simply because they
are not Radicals. There are but
four working days until the cleo
ton, and yet the registrar is taking
no steps to register these citizens.
They have not been notified that
he intends opening his Office to give
them a chance TO obtain certificates,
and it is doubtfulif he were to COM
mence on Monday whether all en-
titled could be registered. Why is
it that these men are deprived of q
right TO which they are clearly en-
titled under the franchise law? BY
what right does the registrar pro-
scribe these men, for it is clear
case of political prescription 7
The law is imperative as to his
duty TO register every man COM
ing within its provisions. lie
has no discretion when the claim OF
q man to be registered is established.
1t will perhaps be said in justifica-
ton of his neglect or refusal to open
his office for the accommodation OF
these who desire to secure certifi-
Gates, that the law does not require
him TO do so. This is simply the
suBterfuge of one who knows that
he has not discharged duty he owes
to the public. The franchise law
makes it the duty Of the registrar
ito attend for one day at each quar-
terly session Of the County Court,
and all such other times as he may
deem necessary and cXpedient for
the public service, for the purpose
of issuing certificates ofregistration
to such persons as may be entitled to
them under the provisions of this
act" We do not remember that,the
registrar opened his Office for thii
purpose at the April term Of the
County Court, as the law requires
him, nor indeed do we remem.
Der that he has had his Office
open this year. 1t is true, the
law leaves il to his judgment to
determine at what other times
he shall open his office to issue GER
tificates to those entitled to them.
But there is nothing in the word
inc of the act to warrant his keep
ing his Office closed to prevent cit
liens from registering. The pre-
sumption of the law is that regis.
trar who honestly desires to adj
minister the law fairly, will not
stand upon bubbles by which be
may deprive citizens of their rights
It cannot be denied that 1t is
necessary and expedient for the
public service" that a thousand
citizens, who pay their taxes
promptly and are clearly entltIed
to vote under the franchise law,
should have no obstacle thrown in
the way of tire exercise of that
right. It is hardly a question that
if these men who are thus pro
scribed by the registrar were kadl'

DRIVING CANARY BIRDs.-A New York pa.
per, speaking about the importation of canary
birds from Germany, says the following sight
was seen IN Florence, Italy. in 1861, by lady
and gentleman belonging in New York: I'm
walking in the principal street they overlook
was moving from one side to the other in what
they thought was strange manner. When
they came up with him they found he was
driving flock OF canary birds, as in England
they drive flock Of turkeys. A carriage came
along, the man waved his whip in peculiar
manner. when the little birds all went to the
sidewalk until the carriage had pass ed, when
they took to the street again. A woman wanted
to buy one, when the man sprinkIed some ca.
nary seed at his feet and half dozen of them
came to him, when he took one up in his hand
and delivered il TO the woman, who paid him
one franc for it. The man then went on again"

IRON CARs.-Since the recent accident at
Mast Hope, on the Erie railroad, the question
Of the propriety Of using iron cars has come mp
again for discussion. just after the accident
of December 18th, 1867, at Angola, on the Lake
Shore road, when seventy persons were killed
and forty were wounded, IRON freight cars
were experimental with, but the results were
not satisfactory. Now, however, a car has
been proposed which, il is stated. will entirely
supeIsede the wooden cars. The new car is
composed OF wrought IRON tubes combining
the greatest strength with the least weight, can
not take fire, and will not break into splinters
Another advantage consists in the greater
amount of merchandise the iron tube cars will
carry. II Is asserted that q common box car
built Of wrought iron would weigh less than
six and one half tons, while wooden cars Of the
same dimensions weigh not less than ten tons
The wooden cars are allowed TO carry ten tons
OF freight; the IRON cars, on account Of their
greater strength, il is believed, could carry
thirteen and one half tons, the weight of the
car and freight then beIng only twenty tons.

The Short Cut" Through the Presidents
Grounds.
Mr.. Epiroa Observing the various state
mems WHICH nave Appeared in your journal
in relation to-the Presidents grounds, we beg
leave to oner correct statement Of facts in re.
lation thereto.
Mansion terrace wall was the line OF demar.
cation between the White Lot and the grounds
immediately surrounding the Manson, and
just south OF this wall there has, until recently,
grounds are now being extended in q semi.
circular form. circunscrioing the old thor
oughfare. The greater portion Of the former
boundary wall has consequently been re.
moved, and the old t-path graded up to the
level Of the terrace, SO that all persons passing
that way have been obliged to walk along the
edge Of this terrace in order to avoid the ne
ground which is being rapidly filled IN on the
old path.
Now, the cause of complaint is that for the
past fortnight policeman has been stationed
at the westerly terminus Of this terrace, to COM
pei all passing that way to walk in the mud
and dust, exposed to the scerching rays of the
sun. when, by allowing them to pass along the
nicely graveled walk, in the shade and MOI ten
feet from where they are forced to 60, would
obviate all difficulties, and afford them some
recompense for ha Wig been deprived Of their
old road. These arbitrary measures are the
more Objectionable when 1t is considered that
TINS solitary policeman is placed at the eastern
extremity of til, terrace just as the clerks are
aving their various Offices, as though this in.
yidious distinction was made expressly again ST
them. Was there total prohihirion OF all per.
sons from passing through any portion OF the
Presidents Glound, the excluded ones would
Eel 1t less than they do IN der present circum-
stances; but TO drive them in the m nd and dus {,
exposed TO the aoger OF being rua over by the
