NegIstrALIOn

Some Of our cOtemporaries have fallen
into error in supposing there must be
an entirely new registration before the
August election. We publish below all
the sections of the ''Act Concerning Elec
ton and Registration in the Year A. D.,
1870, passed ut the recent session of the
Legislature.
1t will be seen by section 8 that no per
son shall he allowed to vote at any election
unieas his name shall be found upon the
registration books Of the precinct in which
ne offers to vote. 1t is therefore of the
first Importance that those who have re-
moved since theirIast registration from one
precinct to another, Or from one county to
another, or who have become of age since
the last election, or become citizens of
North Carolina, or for any other cause
their names do not appear upon the books
of registration of the precinct at which
they intend to vote, shall have their names
properly entered This matter should en-.
gage the attention of candidates, canvas
sers and Others. 4 neglect to attend to
the necessary changes and additions in the
registration lists may. and will, effect the
defeat Of Conservative candidates IN many
instances.
In this county, with 4 partisan spirit
characteristic of the course of the
Radical party, almost without exception
the persons appointed registrara aud
judges of election are members of that
party. Some of them are incompetent
ana others With more than doubtful re-
putations. II tho Beard of CcmmissIo1i-
eEa of New Hanover desired and intended
fair and 5Qst registration and election they
have most violently and criminaly SLAM

take them at their wo~d. The Board no
doubt expected to procure some unlawful
advantage or they would have allowed a
representative of their political opponents
among the judges Of election at each pre-
cinct. Here Is another field for the watch
fnlness of the Conservatives. When our

RoDMAN, j. 1t is objected to the convic-
ton in this case
l. That the act of 1SG8-'G0, conferripc
summary jurisdiction over certain petty Of
fences on Justices Of the Peace, is uncon.
stitutional.
2. That the Jus tice did not have iuris-
diction i'll this case. because the offence is
not alleged to have been committed in his
township:
l. The Constitution, Art. ", Sec. 80
provides "The several Justices of the
Peace shall have exclusive original iuris-
diction under such regulations as the GEN
eral Assembly shall provide -" of all
criminal matters arising within their coun-
ties, where the punishment cannot exceed
fine of fifty dollars, or imprisonment for
one month"
The Act of 1862 ch. 93, sub. chapter
4, gives to Justices of the Peace power to
hear, try and determine, in the manner
therein provided, criminal actions for GER
tain petty offences, and among them Z" as
saults and assaults and batteries where no
deadly weapon was used, AMI no serious
damage was done. and where the punish
ment imposed by law does not exceed fifty
dollars fine, or one months imprison-
ment."
Section CAT impose some limitation on
the Jurisdiction. which it is not necessary
here, moro than to refer to. Prior to the
passage of this act every assault was pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment at the
discretion OF the court, and therefore naiqht
be punished beyond the Jurisdiction of q
Justice. And it is argued that this act
does not expressly limit the punishment
of any defined class of offences, but does
SO, If at all, only by implication, and
therefore not sufficiently. It may be that
it would have been a more methodicaI
arrangement for the Legislature to have
defined certain crimes in one statute de-
voted to that subject, and to have enacted
that the punishment of those coming
within such definition should not exceed
the limit above mentioned and then, in
another statnte devoted to the subject of
Criminal Courts, and their jurisdictions,
to have enacted that Justices of the Peace
should have jurisdiction of the crimes SO
defined. But when the intention is clear,
statute cannot fail Of effect, merely be-
cause perhaps, some of itsprovsions might
be put in G more appropriate place. We
think the intentiod sufficiently appears
from the statute in question. Sections 4,
6 and 9 separate with sufficient clearness
certain assaults from the general class, and
give to Justice jurisdiction over these.
The act might have gone Ga and said ex-

The question is simple. Such men as

congress and have squsndered the immense
revenues OF the country-the hard earned
taxes of the people for partisan purposes in
trying to keep their party in power. Will
every voter in this district look over his tax
