TIE STATE LAw OF REGISTRATION.
In connection with the Mayors proclamation. Il
Is well to recall the law the subject OF resistra
ton. Tie law Of 1865, chap, 40, the original law
the subject provides that the Inspectors in New
York and Brooklyn "sha meet annually on Tues
day three weeks preceding the general election, a,
M, at the place designated for holding the poll.
shall proceed 10 make list. Said
Inspectors at their first meeting on Tuesday three
weeks preceding the general election, shall have
power necessary, TO cit two days for the purpose
OF making said list, provided that at the annual cleo
tion next prior TO the said meeting, the number OF
voters in the district OF which they are Inspec ors
exceeds iour hundred"
Immediately in this connection Il may be stated
That but four election districts retain both their
numbers and boundaries. The Mayor has claimed
that this is such q substantial change as to make
them new districts. Whether the four districts had
more thon four hundrcd voter. cirrtion
doubtful or course the other districts being new
had voters al las; election.
The act OF 1895 makes no change to the first
days OF registry, though modifying the law essen-
tally in other particulars.
The new election law OF $50 chapter i3s rccoT.

Tue UNITED STATES LAW.
The Unitel states law, which was rassed at the
last session bnd approved June 7, ls1O relating to
elections, has provision with regard to regisiry,
under which Yesterdays arrests were made. The
constitutonaity Of this provison IT is almost use
less to say, denied by many. 1t provides for the
