The CLAIMS AGAINST MExICo.--
The New York Commercial says: SIT
begins to dawn upon the public mind, or
such portions Of it as pay any heed to
affairs on the Texan border and in Mexico,
that three or four elemental facts are COM
ing to the surface. In the first place there
will be established against Mexico claims
for damages to American citizens to the
amount of twenty or thirty millions more
than the claims Of Mexico upon the United
States. . This is an important fact, and
when it is added that the treasury of our
unhappy neighbor is empty and cannot be
filled, the mind takes in the thought that
there may be cession of territory to the
United States. After this, the assumption
OF their debts is natural, and the United
States pays the damages from the proceeds
of the sales Of the lands SO coded. And
that is the way our southwestern border
will march forward peacefully but effective

CONVENTION OF MINING ENGI-
NEERs-THE VIRGINIA COAL MINES
At the session on Wednesday, in Philadel-
phia. of the American Institute of Mining
Engineers, papers were read on the system
of mining coal and the waste resulting from
it, with suggestions Of remedy, that is,
by the English long wall system, which
would prevent the roof falling and filling
up partially mined veins. Among other
papers, Mr.. o. Heinrich, of Chesterfield
Station, Va, read supplementary paper
on the Midlothian colliery, Va, where fires
have been burning for fifty years or more.
He was forced to fill up the mines, as the
coal was dug from them, with clay taken
from the surface, and said that in his new
mines, he intended to adopt the same plan.
He believed that true policy in mining
coal would be to strike the lowest seam
first and work up, filling the cavities as the
work proceeded, but said that this would
necessitate heavy expenditures in the first
operations,

The ballot must be one white paper
ticket. and contain on its face the names Of
the candidates, written or printed, fol
whom the elector wishes to vote, and des-
1 ipnating the Office for which the elector
/ wishes them chosen. IF q vote be chal.
lenged. the voter is required to swear that
| he has the qualifications stated above ;
that he is duly. registered in his own pro-
per name; that he is the person he repre-
septs himself to be, and that he has not
| already voted at the present election.
REGISTRATION.
The above are all the points needed to be
observed, except the vitality important re-
quirements of Registration and transfer,
which however are few and simple. Every
voter on coming of age, or completing the
required term of residence in his state and
voting precinct, should 60 to the Registrar
There is one at every voting place. and
see to it personally that he is regularly
registered, giving under oath his name, age,
occupation and the length of time of his
residence in the state, county, city or
town if in city, giving the name of the
street and number of the house where he
resides. This may be done on the
second Tuesday in May Of each year
at every voting precinct in the state, and
on any day previous to ten days before the
election in November in the country. In the
cities and towns of over two thousand in
habitants the registrars may sit three days
for purposes of registration ten days before
each election. But the voter to be safe
ought to perfect his registration on the first
day of the sitting of the registrars, which
they are required by law to advertise for
ten days, by posting written or printed no.
tees at ten or more public places in each
precinct before each sitting.
TRANSFERS.
Whenever voter changes his residence
he may get from the registrar of the dis
trict from which he moves a certificate
that he was there duly registered, and
that on his removal his name had been
erased from the registration books. Such a
certificate is what is known as transfer.
This transfer may be presented to the
registrar of the district to which
the voter has moved at any time even on
the day Of election in the country. But in
cities or towns containing over two thou
sand inhabitants, itmust be presented on the
tenth day preceding the election, or if the
registrars sit SO long on the two following
days above named. preceding the election.
1t is believed that the above contains all
the information needed for the most care
less voter.
