whose names they do not want upon
the list: "Sir, We say you aided the re-
bellion; now prove that you didn't aid
the rebellionp This iswhat their action
amounts to, if they not say it in these
very words. No map can be required to
prove by others what it is impossible to
prove. 1t is hard to prove a negative.
None of Us eau prove that we did not
aid the rebellion.
The constitution and laws provide
that every white male citizen, twenty
one years of age, not psuFer, of sound
mind, not under conviction of treason
or of bribery at an election, &C., VINO
has been a resident of the State one
year and of the county one month, and
did not aid the rebellion, shall be enti-
tied to vote. Now when the claimant
to the right to vote appears before the
township registrar, be must satisfy the
registrar that he is qualified to vote
according to. the provisions just men
toned. And he has a, right to show
by his own evidence, and it must be
such as will satisfy any reasonable, un-
lprejudiced mind. A respectable mans
statement, under oath, is generally con-
sidered evidence that should satisfy any
reasonable mind, not prejudiced.
Then if q county board of registration
notify him TO appear and show cause
why he sbonld be permitted to vote, il
amounts to the assertion that he is not
qualified to vote. Those Uho Gliege that
he is disqualified must prOre it themselves.
II they charge that he is disqualified by
reason Of having aided in the rebellion,
they must prove it before they have any
right to take his name from the list.
The county board of registration has no
right to strike a mans name from the
list merely because charges have been
made against him. He is to be consid-
cred innocent until proved guilty of the
charge.
TbeJaw itself makes it the duty of
the Judges of the circuit courts TO give
the law specially in charge to the grand
juries. 1t is not supposed you will have
any case under that law before you now;
but think it proper to make these re-
marks that You may all be prepared by
a full understanding of what will be
your duty as Jurors whenever case
may come before you: and that people
generally may know that that law is
not to be trifed with by men undsT the
control of ambitious Office seekers. If
you know of any violations of this law
hereafter, or know of any abuse of its
provisions, you may remember that it
should be administered for the good of
the people, as any law should be, and
you Just know what is your duty.

The Shepherd Dog.

We have no sympathy for the thou
sands of worthless dogs kept in many
families eating food from the chickens
and prowling about the country killing
sheep and doing other mischief; such
dogs are a nuisance. But the Shepherd
dog when properly trained (Which is
easily) becomes a very useful animal,
especially on stock farms. With little
attention to training, be seems to under
stand all you say to him, is not only
willing, but delights to obey your
orders. He can be sent to bring in the
cattle from any part of the field, or from
the farthest field without iujuring
them, they soon learn to understand
his wishes and to know that he must be
obeyed.
He can be learned to know the name
of each one in the herd, and be sent to
bring in any one you name. He will
herd cattle or sheep and confine them to
certain bounds, as directed by his mas
ter. He is stay at home dog and watch
fal about the house or lawn-will keep
his eye on stranger TO see that he car
ries nothing away. We would advise
every stock farmer to procure good
one.

From the Mason County Journal!
The Registration Law.

some of eur readers may be aware
that the people of some of the counties
of this State have been most outrage.
ously swindled by Township Registrars
and Boards of Registration. In wayne
county, for instance, last year several
soldiers were prevented from voting by
these officers; and nearly two hundred
of the best citizens of the county could
not vote because, though they tried
their best, and done all and more than
the law rec nires to get their names upon
tbe list of voters, they were not on on
the day of election, and none OF the Of
feers could tell why their names were
not there. They had disappeared in
some mysterious way. In one townsnlp
where about sixty new names were reg
is,ered. the whole list was thrown away
because the Registrar did not take the
oath before commencing the duties OF
his office. In short, the whole business
ha, been carried on in that and some
other counties, entirely and IN every
respect as though the law was made
merely to continue the party that en-,
acted it in power and like 1t was maae
for no other purpose.
At the last term of the Circuit Court,
for Wayne county, Judge James II. or
gusou, in his charge to the Trand jury
rsferred to this law and its administrs-
tion, as follows:
There is a great deal of complains
about the neglect of registration omcers
by which men who ought OF rlght 10 DC
voters. are not upon the list and cannot
vote. The registration law should De
administe-ed as carefully and conscien-
t;ously as any other law, and with the
rigbts and interests of all parties IN
view.
II ia a mistake to suppose the regis.
trat;on law was framed only 70 protect
the interests of political party. Inc
r;,bts ef citizens are guarded, and pen
alties provided for officers VINO, oy acts
of omission or of commission, deprive
onalitied citizen of his right 10 Sots'
The law is SO framed as to protect oo's
the officer who administers the law, auu
the citizen who claims the rlght 10 'ots
nnder it. The voter who is wrongea
has his remedy under the law as mncn
as he has a remedy for any wrong unae,
anv law. The township registrars ana
the members of the county boards OF
rs,;stration caa be.made to do tneiF
duty. Any wilfull neglect by the towns
ship registrars in the performance OF
the duties of Office, By which citizens
suffer in the rights Of franchise, Is ~.
dictable and punishable under the law. Nv
Another mistaken idea which mas oe
come common is, that in the reslsAs
ton of voters whose loyalty Is ques.
toned, the burthen of proof is oy "a"
forced on the applicant for registration.
Some county boards of sreglstratlon
have been in the habit of telling men

"LoyaIo Perasry.

Last Monday Grand Jury in Nelson
county, Virginia, brought in an indict
ment for perjury against one Dr., CAR
TER, a severely "loysp parsonage OF
that region. The doctor had recently
been made Justice of the Peace for
Nelson county. and what was most an
noying, OF would have been to decent
man, was the fact that he was sitting
upon the bench of the County Court,
when the indictment was brought
This assurance that he has perjured him
self is proof positive of his "loyalty,"
as the word goes, though itseems rather
anomalous that in order to prove him
self "loyal" man he should commit
perjury by taking the "iron-clad," as he
seems to have done in this instance.
After all, these oaths merely serve as
tests for honest men. Scoundrels al
ways disregard them, so that the very
men who might with some propriety be
disabled, enjoy all political privileges,
while respectable rebels who could
safely be admitted to Office and the bal
lot, are deferred by their consciences
from swallowing the oaths required Of

zuson-Read IT. Read 1t.

Elsewhere in this paper we reprint
from the Mason County J9arnat an arti-
Gle containing that portion of Judge
FERGUsoN's recent charge to Wayne
county Grand Jury, which refers to the
registration law. The points are all
W ell taken and will command general
approval. The law must no longer be
administered in the interest of "ambi-
tious office seekers" Voters cannot be
disfrsnchised upon mere suspicion. No
man can be required to prove his iDno-
cence. The registrars must establish
guilt before they can strike the name of
a voter from the lists. If they fail to
do this, the voters oath must be taken
as conclusive evidence of his qualifica-
ton. The law protects not only the
officer but the voter. In cases of illegal
disfranchisement, the registrars must
be held liable. They are, not to be al
lowed arbitrary and irresponsible con-
troll Of the question of suffrage. Read

To Grow Horse Hair.

Ofientimes the owner of a valuable
horse discovers SPAWN, or curb, max
ing its appearance; blister is applied,
and many times the hair comes off, which
as a natural consequence, the owner
wishes to have grow out as soon as pos.
sible. Now, / herewith send a recipe
which will cause the hair to start right
away on bare spots caused by blistering,
harness gall, or otherwise; Take an old
boot or shoe, place it on the fire, burn to
a ceal, pulverize, and mix with hogs
lard to a thin paste. A few applications
of this paste to tho bare places will
do the work. Try it.-UcSten Stock

Resecran ns Deelinss.

We publish this morning special
from Columbus, containing the intel
ligence that General w. 8. RosECRANs
has declined the Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor Of Ohio. The reasons
he assigns are first, that he has, by
removal, lost his residence in Ohio, and
second that he is under such obli cations
to his creditors and his family as would
not allow him to engage in politics at
this time. 1t is to be regretted that
men of such sense of honor are not
more common in high places. Such
men would adorn any public station,
and RosEcRANs, in being actuated by
the motives assigned to decline political
prefermsnt, gives one of the best proofs
of his fitness for the position for which
he was named.
1t is difficult now to estimate the re-
suits of his declination. 1t may have a
chilling effect, or by Introducing the
novelty of new nomination it may in
cite to vigor and hard work in the eau
vass. 49,
The State Convention is to be PEAS
sembled, and if it's selection be judi
cious, there may be no reasons,
in a partisan view, for regretting
this withdrawal. A short, sharp;
and decisive canvass will fol-
low and success can easily be achieved.
Meanwhile Governor HAYES will have
his campaign far under way before he
knows whom he is to fight. He has
already made up his case against ROSE
GRAMS, and now, in common with all his
co.laborers, must prepare new speeches,
or fire useless shots at man not In the
field. Both parties are left rather
in the fog and it will be curious to
watch, but rather difficult to tell which
shall first see clear daylight. In the
meantime let the Democrats Of Ohio
make ready for the struggle and pre-
pare to enter vigorously upon the work
as soon as the new commander shall be
named.

SINCE the elections in Virginia and
Tennessee, some of the Radical papers
are getting sick of negro suffrage and
talk of establishing aali6catien of in
telligence. This is partisan expedient,
the idea being that the Democrats would
in time control the negro vote, but that
the intelligent classes might be relied
upon to give permanent support to the
"loyal" party. A very shabby compli-
ment is thus paid to intelligence, for it
is now rapidly becoming apparent that
man might as well have no brains as
to put them to the base use implied in
voting the Radical ticket.

In teaching ayoung horse to drive
well, do not hurry to see how fast he can
trot. Keep each pace clear and distinct
from the other; that is in walking, make
him walk and do not let him trot. If
trotting, be as careful that he keeps
steady at his pace, and do not allow him
to slacken into a walk.
