THE CHARACTER OF THE LOUIS
l. VILE Courier7Journal is so well known
from Maine to California, and its rcputa-
ton for energy, ability and enterprise is
so universally conceded by the press and
the people, that we deem any elaborate
exposition of its policy and principles al
together unnecessary in this prospectus.
Suffice it to say, that in the future, as it
has in the past, it will maintain and adj
vocate the principles of the National Dem
ocratic party without abating one jot its
independence or hesitating to express its
honest convictions as occasion requires.
and always having at heart the interests
of the people as against the cliques and
scheming, selfish and dishonest politicians.
During the year 1872 it shall lie our aim
to advance the high standard heretofore
maintained by the Courier-Journal. First,
and above every other consideration, it

The Registration In This County.

We have only received the returns
from four election districts, and these
show an increase over the registration Of
1870. The second election district com.
posed Of a portion Of Hurricane township
and embracing New Hope, registered
402 voters election district No. 1, en-
bracing all Of Bedford township, regis
tered 426; election district No. 6, EN-.
braciug Prairie township, registered 135,
aud election distrio. No. 8. embracing
Waverly township, registered lsS.
These are all We have heard from up to
the time Of going to press.
IN 1870 the whole of Hurricane town.
ship registered 479 votes, while this year
enc half Of the township runs it up to
4O2 Bedford township in 1870 regis
tered 3SS voters ; this year the number
has already reached 426 Prairie town
ship registered, in 1870, 140 voters, and
this year only 1876; but since the last
general registration a large strip Of terri
tory has been taken of that township
also MilIwosd and Waverly, to form the
township Of Ninsveh and this accounts
for the number, which in reality is an in
crease over the registration Of 1870
Wavsrly township registered l75 voters
in 1870, and lss the present year, an in
erase Of 13 voters, Notwithstanding the
fact that large portion Of that township
went to form Ninsveh, and the voters
living 10 it registered at the latter place.
There were registered throughout the
.ouuty 10 1870 only 2,l55 voters; but
if the ratio of increase in the districts to
ts heard from is in propsr,u to the dis.
rieu We have given, We may safely say
there .ill be sbou, ., 900 veters registered.
This, however, is not as large a showing
awe should make. The vote of Lincoln
county has been estimated at 3, 500, but
We dent think there arc that many vo
,srs 10 the county. Our population in
1870 was 1877, which, being divided
By 6. the ratio Of voters to the population,
voaId give Us voting population Of
2,63l. The increase since then will
probably raise i, to 5000, which We take
j: 10 abou: the vote Of the county, and We
will b surprised if it ovsrreaches that !;
Scs this number should be reached BY
a! means, and We prevail upon those whs
lar. rot yet registered to appear before
the registrars Of their respective districts
