Supervisors and the Registration Board

The board of registration for Pulaski
county commenced its session, for re
view, at the State house to-day. The
leading Mnstrcls have consulted much
Of late how to manage 50 as to exclude
the supervisors, they having advised the
registrars in other counties not to per
NIT them to be present during review
They concluded, however, that it would
not be safe to do so here, under the nose
ofthc L. 5. Judge, the penltentary star
ing them in the face. But what they
dared not do here they have succeeded
in getting the boards to do in severa
other counties, thus getting the members
by their exclusion Of supervisors, into {
position where they can be threatened
with a cell in the pentcntiary.
Many, no doubt, who have thus beer
lead into illegal action will think it strange
that at the capital the board did noC dc
what they were advised to do, aud what
they were promised would be done

The November Contest in Indiana.

We Csu see no reason why the Grant
men should profess any confidence in
their ability to carry Indiana in the No
vsmbcr election They turned over every
stone against Hendricks that it was pos
sible for them to do. There was not 4
card in their hands that they neglected
to play. They did their very best. They
had the advantage OF every fraudulent
device that it is possible for them to have

with all this they were beaten. Where
can they possibly improve their vote
There VIII be more votes for Greeley
than for Hendricks, because thousands

their minds to vote Clr Democrat viii
vote for one OF their own party like
Greeley. The Democrats will stand true,
for they voted for Hendricks with the
understanding that it was to be regarded
rs test Of Greelcy's strength. Say
what we will, the prestige of victory is
with the Democrats and Liberals in In
diana, and that is worth considerable to
them. The popular vote Of the State is
known to be in their favor, for it was on
! Governor and on no other State Office
that the big fight was made. Although
by trickcry and fraud they have lost the
Legislature it is offset by the fact that
having the majority on Governor, they
can carry the State for President, and ;

Senators. We have every confidence

to elect Governor Of one party in Octo

According to appointment Coils. Will

on the 18th inst. The crowd was not
very large, on account of the notices not
having been circulated; however, that is
q matter of little consequence. The citi.
zcus Of this vicinity are all right, and
have laken more interest in registering
this time, than they have done since the
passage of the infamous reconstruction
acts. The speeches of Wilcox md Glen.
dennmg were characterized by their usual
ability, and no doubt will have the only
effect necessary, namely, to arouse the
voters to a sense of their duty The
speakers give them to understand that
" eternal yigilcnce is the price of libcr

owed to themselves, their children, and
to po.terity. This township will give n
