mences to-day, and the ten days it will
continue will form the most important
period in the history of Virginia. Our
lives and sacred honor, our material sal
walton depend upon the result of the
coming election, before which we must
| marshal and unite our forces for the
| contest. Canvassers must put forth
every energy and do their whole duty /;
superintendent of city wards and coun-
ties must be on the alert to detect and
prevent gerrymandering and all kinds
of fraud and imposition. The various
vigilant committees must also, in con-
junction with the superintendent, ex-
anime the list of registration, and see
that no persons name has been fraudu-
lently erased Or entered thereon. Reg
istration is our most effective weapon
and it behoves us to see that it is in
good and servicable order, SO as to pre-
vent it, if possible, from missing fire"
REGISTRATION NoTICE.-The follow
ing registration notice was posted about
the city on Saturday:
ain obedience to orders lrom Head
quarters First Military District, there
will be session Of the Board of Regis
tration in and for the - ward, city
Of Norfolk, at for ten days,
commencing on the 14th day of June,
1869, for revision Of the list of voters
registered under the reconstruction laws
of Congress, prior to the election of July
9th, 1869, on the question of the accep-
lance or rejection of the Constitution
framed by the Constitutional Conven-
ton in the State of Virginia; at which
time all persons who are entitled to vote
and who have not been registered, are
requested to appear before the Board of
Registration, that their names may be
added to the list. There will be an adj
ditional session of the Board for two
days, commencing on the 30th of June,
1869, for the purpose of reviewing the
evidence and finally deciding questions
of challenge. The Board will be in ses-
sion each day of the revision from
o'clock forenoon to o'clock afternoon"
The blanks in the above order were
filled out for the respective wards. We
hope there is not man who, failing
heretofore to register, will not profit by
the present opportunity. 1t is a duty
he owes not only to his State, but to
himself and family. 1t is the only
weapon with which we may kill the
carpet-bag vultures who have come
among us seeking our very life. We
say to every Virginian every white
man-who has one good principle, one
worthy instinct left, to register. regis
ter and vote for Walker.
