The Victory Of the Reporters.

THE registry law in the city Of New
York is to be repealed 1t was passed by
the Legislature last winter, with the aup.
port of most of the Republican votes, and
rs kind of consideration for the Tan.
many charter, for which many Republi,
cans also voted. We objected to this
action at the time AS unsound
policy. We stated what is unlver-
sally true, that bargain made with a
sharper will end in swindle. The result
oftltc bargain is that the Tammany charter
is the law Of til city, and that the security
OF an honest election afforded by registry
law which sweetcned that charter 70 re.
luctant Republican tastes will be abolished
so as to allow Tamm1ny to vote early and
often in the election OF 1872.
We hope thai thoughtful men through
ont the country viii remark this striking
illustration of the uHwillnEness Of the
Democratic party to secure the purity OF
the ballot. Cheating at the polls in the
city of New York is notorious. Evasion
of the naturalization laws, repeating, stuff.
fng, and false counting undoubtedly
yitlated the election of 1868 in that clty,
and gave the State a Governor who was
not the choice of the people. 1t is no mn

We do not defend Republican cheating
but that it rivals the Democratic oileDse

then, is plain. 1t is to declare who shall

that their votes are honestly counted and

How to Judge the Quality Of Honey

Tn S is an interesting question, and one
We believe, not very generally understood
Honey, of course, is judged matHtg by lis
color, but owing to the fact that there is
often very great difference in the color
of the comb, and the additional fact that
bees often put white honey in dark combs
and rice Ders1 it IL manifest that very great
care must be exercised IN taking into az
count both the comb and the honey. The
proper way to Judge honey is to strain il
Into glass jars, You can then readily
Judge of its color But then there are al
least two other qualities to be considered
thickness and flavor In judging OF it,
thickness, it is necessary for the Judge tc
know whether that quality was impaired
in the first instance, or whether it is due
to the action of light for light (thr chem
iCal raysj acts upon honey very much as il
does upon the iodide of silver, on tbs

Take two bottles of honey from the
same comb, seal them up perfectly tight
and keep them both at the same tempera,
ture--only one in the sunlight and the
other in dark room, aud the former will
gradually grow thick, and finally assume a
semi crystalline shape, while the other will
retain its original iluidity. This Is one
reason why bees always work in the dark
and why honey should be kept in the
dark or in opaque vessels.

Still, honey, to be superior, should be yary

A good favored, dark honey may some
times be superior to white article which
