Registration and Township Elections.


The county has been divided into townships,
voting places established, registrars appointed,
and the registration of voters preparatory to the
election of township officers, on the 4th Thurs
day in this month, viii commence at the various
precincts on this day, Tuesday and will con-
tinue seven days 1t is important to bear In
mind that, all who expect to vote will have to
come forward during the seven days OF registra-
ton and have their names recorded, to entltle
them to take part in the coming election. 1t
is true the registrars will sit two days previous
to the 4th Thursday to revise their lists, when
those who failed to come forward at the first
sitting can have themselves registered, but it is
best and safest to attend to the matter this week.
Many are under the impression that, as they
were registered heretofore by the military au-
thorties that ruled the State, it is not necessary
for them to register again. In this they are
mistaken. The former registration goes for mo-
thing. We are State now, and this registra-
ton is made under State authority, and all who
expect to vote must be SO registered. Again,
some are not aware that all citizens are entitled
to vote, regardless Of past political Offences
Whilst some cannot hold Office by reason OF
the 18th amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, yet they are entitled to vote by
the Sd article of the Constitution of Virginia.
Let the 18th amendment men remember this,
and not fail to come forward and register.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1870-05-10
Registration.

The work of registration will commence to-
day, in pursuance of law, and We trust that
there will be full registration of the Conserva-
tive people, especially. The fact that any one
registered at the last election will go for no.
thing, as the list of voters now to be made out
will be that submitted for the guidance OF the
Judges at the ensuing election. The work is to
be commenced anew, as though there had been
no previous registration. All persons, there
fore, who fail to register now, will also fail OF
the opportunity to vote on the 4th Thursday OF
this month, and until there is another regis
tration. Again we urge all the Conservative
people to register, leaving our Radical brethren
to do as they please.
The Reconstruction Acts, under which the
States of the South were rehabilitated and re-
admitted to representation in Congress, dis
franchised all persons who were declared inelt
gible to office by section three of the fourteenth
amendment to the Federal Constitution. But
these acts expressly and in terms declared thai
their provisions should cease to be operative
lust so soon as the States were reconstructed
| and readmitted into the Union, under constl
tutions of their own. Therefore, the person!
| disfranchised under the application OF the he
construction Acts are not now DISTINGUISHED
since the State Constitution, ratified last July
| imposes no terms of disfranchisement whatever
except the usual disquali6cations Of idiocy, con
viction of felony, &c. Let all persons restored
| to the exercise of the franchise by the admis
sion of the State under liberal Constitution
avail themselves of its benefits, and registe
| now that they may vote

Corn and Wheat.

1t is urged upon the farmers Of this country
by those familiar with the state of the grain
productions to raise corn instead of wheat. II
is stated that the amount of wheat already ex-
ported this year has greatly increased, whilst
that of corn owing to its scarcity has decreased
in still greater proportion. 1t is then, not
likely that the wheat crop this year will come
in contact with the corn as was the case last
year, therefore the price of the corn will I'm.
doubtedly be more remunerative than any 9th
er grain crop that can be cultivated.
