Registration.

BY observing the reports in our local CO.
lumns it will be seen that the whites are
smartiy in arrears in the matter of registra-
ton. Generally the negroes are prompt in
registering, and always for few days they
are ahead. We don't know why this should
be so for we see no good reason for delay
ing the act Of registering. 1t is as we'll to
perform it promptly as to put it off. At all
events, late or soon, no man should fail to
register his name and secure his vote.
There is beyond question handsome
white majority in this city, and it should be
made to appear on the registering books.
When it is seen this morning how the game
stands, every man not registered should de-
termine ut once to do so, and not only to
wipe out the existing preponderance but
transfer double the present majority to the
other side-a result that is certain if all re-
gister their names.
Don't delay. Don't put of to another
day what may be done on this. There are,
indeed, four more days to register, but
promptness will do a great deal of good.
The work ought to be finished promptly.
The sooner it is done the sooner will be &C.
complished the work of making out proper
books for organization, challenging fraudu-
lent votes, and protecting the "ballot." Sc
cret voting affords vastly more opportuni-
ties for fraud than oiua uoce voting, and
therefore we should be more than ever &C.
tive and well-organiZed.

How THE VERDICT IN THE MOI ARLANp'
CASE WAS RECErvED.-Asth the words escaped
his lips the crowd, who had stood Win
every nerve strained to catch the result, re-
sponded with cheer after cheer which de-
monstration no effort on the part OF the
officers could repress, If indeed any was
made. The Recorder sat unmoved on the
bench, and, unreproved by him, cheers
were given for Mr.. John Graham With
yigor even exceeding the former. Little
Percy leaped upon chair, and waving his
handkerchief, joined in the popular demon
stration. Everybody was wild with excite;
ment, and women and men were not
! ashamed to shed tears; indeed, There was
scarcely dry eve in the room. A rush was
made toward McF arland by those anxious TO
congratulate him. but the officers kept the
throng back, for there was rs yet one more
formality to be taken. Order was restored
for the moment. and Mr.. Vandervoort put
the usual question to the jury requesting
them to hearken to the verdict rs 1t was re-
corded. Then Mr.. Gerry rose and request
ed the discharge of his client, which the
Recorder promptly granted. McFariand
was from that moment free man. The
court was Immediately adjourned. and then
the multitude thronged about him and Mr.
Graham and Mr.. Gerry, warmly congratu-
lating each of them upon the result. Percy
was all smiles. and was Rugged and kissed

state of emotional excitement. The jury

tie. The aggregate amount of loss by the
fire in that town may seem not to be heavy,
but one-third of its population is without
shelter. The committee in their appeal say
that many of the homeless have neither food
nor clothing. Generally the houses burned
were plain framed buildings, which were
valued ut low price; still they were the
homes Of these good people. Thus it is
that an unusual amount of distress is found
from calamity which involves not large
aggregate pecuniary loss.
We trust that the appeal of the committee
will meet generous response from all
