REGISTER TODAY.

At 0 o'clock to-day, the Inspectors OF Elec-
ton, sitting as Boards of Registers, in this City,
Brooklyn, and all other Election Districts III
the State in which any part of city or incOr-
porated village is included, meet to make lists
of all persons entitled to vote at the ensuing
November election. Such Boards have power
if necessary, to sit two days for the purpose
of making their lists in all districts
which cast over 400 votes at the last election.
On the first day of registration in New York
and Brooklyn the Board are apparently not
limited as to the time of adjournment, but
usually keep the lists open till or o'clock
p. N. On subsequent days they are required
to meet at a. III. and keep the lists open till
D. m. At the first meeting of the Boards
the Inspectors of Registry "may use the poll
" lists Of the last general election to aid them
I" in forming the said register; but no per-
son shall be placed on such register if he
L" shall be objected to by one of the Inspectors
d" of Registry and Elections, or by a qualified
"voter of the city, unless he shall be known
or proved, to the satisfaction of such inspec
"toIs, to be at the time a qualified voter in
"such election district nor shall the name of
"Of any person be entered or retained on
"such register without the concurrence of
"three of the four Inspectors, nor ex-
cept in compliance with section seven
hereof" Section seven provides that in
"New- York and Brooklyn the name of no per-
d" son shall be placed upon the register unless he
"shall appear in person before the said Inspec-
"tors and prove to their satisfaction his right
I" to vote"
Some Inspectors have held that, from the
language first quoted in reference to the
authority to fuse the poll lists" to aid them in
forming the register, they have a right to enter
upon the registry the names of voters upon
such list. But we fail to see how such con-
clusion can be fairly reached, in view of the
positive language of section z, and the instruc-
tons hold that new personal appearance of
each voter to be registered is required.
The Boards are required to meet on the
Friday preceding the election to revise and
correct the lists, and to sit from a. m. to 0
D. m of that day and the day following. On
these days they may add to, sub
tract from, and complete the lists
At the second meeting they may
add the name of any person who shall present
themselves and satisfy the Board that they
would be entitled to vote on the next election
day. All electors In New-York and Brooklyn
are entitled to be heard by the Board in rela-
ton to corrections or additions to the registry
in ltheir respective cities. Any voter of the
City of New-York has the right to challenge
any person offering his name for registration
at any Board in the city, and so of Brooklyn.
To register ones name in more than one dis
trict, or knowingly to register when not en-
titled to vote, is punishable by imprisonment
in the State Prison not less than one year.
Those entitled to be registered and to vote are

Above all things. give us an Outspoken adj
versary. Let us know just what we have to
contend against. The newspaper of this city
which has taken for its motto " Democratic at
"all times and under all circumstances" has a
reputation in this respect. If there is one
thing more than another on which Mr.. Pom
eroy plumes himself, it is candOr This time
he has outdone himself. In a column of adj
vice to his readers he says: AS we say to
democrats about election day, so we say to
"the public generally; go : = go early, and
go often.n Just So And now let every citi-
zen who values the purity of the ballot-box
look out for repeaters in the registry books
and on election day.

have been citizen ten days, a resident of the
State one year. of the county four months, and
who is at the time of offering his vote resi-
dent of the election district. No one can vote
in New-York or Brooklyn whose name
is not upon the registry. In addition to the
qualifications above stated, colored clector
must be the owner of real estate valued at
$780, and have been a resident of the State for
three years. In the rural portions of the State
the Boards of Registration, at their first
meeting enter the names found upon the poll
lists of the last preceding election, and correct
upon subsequent days.
We appeal to our friends to remember that
Democrats never forget to register, any more
than to vote; and that registration can be
best and most easily secured on the first
day. The more names of legitimate voters can
be crowded on the registry at the outset the
more time and opportunity to scrutlnize the
frauds, effected OF attempted, with which tho
last days work is always crowded. Register
to-day! Then, let us have your aid, before
the registry is closed, to detect the frauds OF

Poor Spain The blind man who jumped
into second bramble bush to recover the
eyes which he had lost in a previous one, was
in a bad plight; but the nation which, having
experienced revolution at home, had to
plunge into the wilderness of the Cuban ques-
ton, and after that to undergo the binding
Affections of the CaTlist and Republican insur-
rections, is unlucky also. Madrid reports are
that ATagon and SaragOssa have been
quoted but other provinces are alive
with revolt, and will yet make serious
mischief the more serious perhaps when
the Regency actually undertakes TO procure the
election of King. The Republicans lately
insisted upon an appeal to universal suffrage
in the question of a monarch-an appeal which
Napoleon seems not to have considered
intoleIable in his recent interview with Prim.
Failing their demands in this respect, the Re-
publcans were to revolt unitedly.

BRIDGET IND CHANG.

The kitchen problem is becoming an immi-
nent peril Whether Mr.. Jones be bull or bear,
Bridgets tough beefsteak lies alike like lead
all day on his stomach and brain. 1t is riding
him to death as surely as the relentless Old
Man did Sinbad. He grows gaunt, lean, dys-
peptic. Mrs. Jones, who for ten squabbling
years of married life has been cherishing a
dream of gray haired retaners and faithful
servitude drawn from English novels has
Weakened to the reality, cries shrilly against
the insoent Irish and stolid Dutch, and is
ready to thrust them out and accept cooper
alive housekeeping, cooking machine
or Chnaman indiflerently. Her ina
bilty to train and control one maid
servant gives her hopes of her success
in the careers of men if her hands were once
free: she has no hold on Biddy because OF
the great gulf between them, though their
blood ran in the same channels perhaps few
generations back so she introduces Chang as
a more accordant element into the household,
with his little pagan gods hidden in the pan
try, and his home and children i'll the An
tipodes.
There is a fact which Mrs. Jones must face
sooner or later, before comfort can be restored
to the distracted kitchen realm Of America,
and that fact is that the fault lies primarily
in the mistress, and not in the maid. Inc
ideal servant of English households belonged
to family as uncultured, most probably,
as Bridget's: she was trained for her
work carefully by a housekeeper or upper ser
want. Mrs. Jones will not accept the work
of housekeeper7 VOLTA! The alternative IS
before her. Chang brings to his work higher
civilization than that of the black Aunt Bettys
and Chloes, the best cooks we have ever
had in the States; but Virginia matron knew
when her biscuit were light, and took off her
diamonds to inspect her pantres.
But for the insolencs of Bridget there is, we

are told, no remedy. Now Bridget is human.
She would have been capable of respect and
servility to the Hon. Miss st. Leger at home
or to the "lady at the great house" They had
the advantages Of long generations OF good
birth and culture. Mrs. Jones for
gets that in this she is not Ike
them. Bridget peYer does. Her American
mistress is only raised above her. she tancieS'
by the accident of money. In few years sue
or her children may have like good luck. Yet
we insist again, Bddy is human. SO is Chang
And when women or men stand face to lace
on the bare ground of humanity there is
power in knowledge, good breeding, and a
kind heart that insures control over every
insubordinate element. He who fears TO
"meet the working classes" says O@the,
aand try his strength with them, stripped
&" of all externals of circumstance and position,
ais a coward, because he is inferior to Them
If Mrs. Jones find the Irshwoman too
much for her, she may draw her own con-
illusions.

The Washington correspondent of The Gin

says, are sanitary. Contagious disease Except
that of lobbying) cannot spread. Soft water
is abundant although, as we fear, so many
hard people there drink so little of it. There
being a plenty of anthracite, the buildings are
not smrched with coal smoke, rs they would

much improved. The main nuisance is the

1t is possible that Judge Ingraham's' charge
to the Grand Jury concerning the liability of
the members of the late Gold Ring, under the
law for the punishment of conspiracies, may
lead to something. But we confess that
we have far more hope from the brief
announcement that Secretary Boutwell, has
ordered the sale of hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in Gold per week at Baltimore
If this, and similar measures, which we trust
to hear of the Secretary's taking, may be in
terpreted as the beginning of a movement, on
the part of the Government, for furnishing
Gold to merchants for the legitimate wants of
business without the gambling intervention of
the Gold Exchange, we hope much from 1t.
Why should not Gold be regularly sold, in
stated quantities, for the convenience of mer-
chants, whenever the Government may have
an accumulation of it9

The principal recommendations of Mr.. Packer
for the place of Governor Of Pennsylvania
seem TO be these 1. He has great deal of
money and lodges his taxes on it. g He
never lent anything to the United States, and
hopes those who did lend will not get their
money back g. He voted for the African
slaye-trade when he was in Congress, and
would do it again if he bad chance. d. He
does MT know anything about finance, which
must be one Of the most important national
concerns fer some time to come. 8. He does MT
know what his policy is respecting protection
to American industry. g. He does MT know
what policy he favors in the labor-question
T. He does MT know whether to vote for repu-
diation or not 8. He is inflexibly opposed to
vigorous collection of the revenue, whereby
General Grants administration is now paying
off the debt at the rate of S1OO,OO0,OOO year.
0. His election would postpone the day when
we can reduce the interest on our debt one
third, by replacing the bonds with per cent
consols, and thus save about $25,OOO,OOO year.

A new apparition of Fenians has startled the
chivalry of the Dominion We say an appa-
rition, though there is hardly the ghost of
chance that the Fenians will ever do them
harm. Still, the Canadians have been reused
by their Government, and told to arm at all
hazards, and we do MT know but that they
have been enjoined to sleep on their arms
until further notice. The Fenians are not ter
rible, but to those who rule at the Dominion
capital the idea of independence may be- and
a good Fenian scare may assist the imperial
purposes of Confederation, provided it is not
too apparent that the Fenians are imaginary.

own invention. Since the description by John

In Idaho party of white men made some
Indians drunk with bad whisky and then
cheated them in trade The result is an Indian
outbreak, and Gen. Sherman is called upon to
send out troops "to protect the settlers and
punish the Indians" This story, which sug-
gests very wildly the Justice meted out by
our "Big Injun" Police Magistrates to unfor-
tunate strangers who have been robbed or
swindled by Democratic politicians in this city,
comes to us by telegraph as it has come any
season for the last dozen years. If the facts
are correctly reported we must sOlemnly pro-
test against spending n single dollar or send
ing single soldier for any such purpose.
Peaceabe settlers must, of course, be pro-
tected but if any hunting is to be done in
Idaho this winter by United States Cavalry let
it be to chastise the rascally traders and not
the simple savages. A few thousands spent in
bringing these white scoundrels to justice will do
more toward securing permanent peace on
the Plains than millions spent in furnishing"
the Indians for being angry at getting cheated.

able testimony supposed to support Mrs. Stowe
Byron story has been knocked to pieces The
writer of the paper on Byron in the June num-
Der of that magazine denies the correctness of
the Interpretation which has universally been
placed upon his language, and assures us that
whatever the secret disclosed to Mr.. Lushing-
ton may have been, he did not mean to imply
that it was what Mrs. Stowe asserts. lie GER
tainly has a wonderful knack of concealing his
ideas; but in this second article he seems to
have proved that the accusation was well un-
derstood by Lord Byron, that he virtually adj
mtted its truth and its seriousness, and the
theory that Lady Byron was the victim OF I'M
founded jealousy consequently falls to the
ground This of course would not prove the
Stowe story to be true; but it narrows the
range of inquiry.

THE FRENCH EMPRESS ON THE CUBAN
Question:

II ia well known that the Empress Eugene
has very decided, if not always very intelligent,
opinions on all the public issues of the day.
The idea she entertains, or at least entertained
some years ago, on one of the disturbing Ques-
tons of the present hour, is indicated by an
incident which we believe was never published
before, though Senator Douglas told it to sew
eral of his friends in this city.
During the last visit to Europe of the late
Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois Tin 1860, II we
remember correctly he was introduced, when
in Paris, to the French Court, after the usual
FORMS Presently the Empress Eugene fell
into conversation with him. and the first remark
she made, after the salutatiOn, was: senator
douglas, understand that you are IN favor
"of the sale of Cuba by Spain to the United
Estates" The Senator attempted to avoid a
direct answer by making pleasant and com
plimentary remark, to the effect that as France
had been fortunate enough to secure Spanish
lady for the throne in the person of Her
Majesty (alluding to Eugenie's Spanish blrth),
so the young American Republic was anxious
to win a prize from Spain by securing an ALI
ance with the Queen of the Antilles To this
lively sally the Empress made no reply, but
instantly remarked in the most earnest and
emphatic way: "If had the power, would
sacrifice every cent (SOu) of the Spanish
revenue, and every soldier in the Spanish
"army, before Cuba should be surrendered by
Spain"
