Alderman TO the Rescue.

We find in the Philadelphia Age the
following special dispatch from Wash
ington city, under date of August %
Under the enforcement act passed
at the last session, prosecutions have
been commenced against many regis,
tiers of election in the Southern and
Border states for refusing to register
ex-rebels. A telegram has been sent
from the Attorney Generals Office to
the District Attorney for West Virginia
instructing him to dismiss all prosecu-
tons under the third section Of the act
where the offense of the register of
election is not the offense prescribed in
the second section Of the act, that. of
failing togive an applicant for registra-
ton opportunity for properly qualifying
himself to use the ballot by being re-
lieved Of political disabilities or other
wise. This question will affect the
elections in majority of the late re-
bellious States.
We do not know whether or not such
a telegram has been received by General
GoFF, but cannot see that the instruc-
lions of the Attorney General, as stated
IN the dispatch, would materially alter

the prisoner was not legally held and
ordered his discharge from custody.
We have not learned the reasons which
are adduced in support of the decision,
but suppose they are those advanced by
Bolt" CALDWELL and heretofore ex-
ploded, viz; that negroes are better
than white men and that the enforce,
ment act applies only TO the blacks,
leaving white men without protection

and irresponsible registrars. We will
