Rsgistrntiou Matters.

Matters were quite lively in the House
yesterday over the registration law
1t will be remembered that on Wednes-
day Mr.. FARNswORTH, representing the
"bitter enders," introduced substitute
for the original bill, which simply pro-
vided for the election, next October, of
registrars fer 1871, but left the appoint.
ment of the registrars for the current
year in the hands of the Gov
ernor. The friends of the substi-
tute declared their intention to
test the honesty of the Democrats
by giving them an opportunity
to vote for putting the selection of reg.
istrars in the hands of the people. We
have no reason to regret the result of the
test. The Democrats not only showed
their desire to restore this power to the
people, but they moved for q special
election in May iby which the people
could Immediately assume power. The
CONSERVATION of the bitter enders'
over Mr. LAMBS first amendment was
laughabls. The sincerity Of their pro.
fessions was tried as severely as that oi
their opponents had been, but with nc
such creditable result. They not only
backed down completely from the high
Democratic ground they had taken, but
to the close Of the days session fought
the substitute of their own proposing
The buncombe they made is hardly ap
precisble.
The only objection they could possibly
raise to the election of Registrars in
May was the cost of an extra election
And yet when they wanted special
election for a special purpose in 1s6t
they set the spring election forward
from April to May, made at great cost q
registration since decided unconstitu,
tional, and thus succeeded in adopting
tie DISTINGUISHING amendment to the
State Constitution. Under the appoint
ment system the Legislature has beer
appropriating large sums to defend the
suits brought against the Governor.
registrars. Money enough has beer
fooled away in this manner to pay tn,
expenses of the proposed May election
over and over again. The election o
fair and honest men against whom suit
will rot be brought will sson save fal
more than the cost of choosing them.
The propriety Of continuing the pres
ent appointment system can be seen b!
reference to the letter of Mr.. E. :H
CHAMBERS, printed in this paper. It i
