Our election laws have been so changed
as to make it the duty of the Chancellor.
Circuit Judge and Sheriff Of each county To-
appoint three Registrars who are u hold
their sessions at each court house for fifteen
days preceding every election, and register
all legal voters not previously registered, or
who may have lost their registration certI-
fcates. Former registrations are good
where the voter still has hi, certificate, but
when this is lost. he must renew it. and
voters who have not previously registered
in the county, must 20 forward and do so.
We give this notice that all citizens mas
have timely warning THAT without the pro-
duction of registration papers they cannot

The Carthagenian proves that the act
providing for the election OF District At
torneys and Circuit and Chancery Clerks
next November is unconstitutional by
citing the following clauses:
"The Clerk of the Circuit Court and the
Clerk of the Chancery Court shall be elected
by the qualified voters of their several c0uu-
ties. and shall hold their Office for the term
of four years.
"a competent District Attorney shall be
elected by the qualified electors Of their re-
spectiye districts, whose term of office shall
be for four years.
We believe the best we can DO for our
State just now is TO populate it as rapidly a.
possible by immigration from the North and
from Europe. Ia the matter of recovering
political control, we see no pros ect for il
at present, and why should we 20 actively
into another campaign only 10 have the Old
story repeated? ? Why disturb our too often
disappointed people in the pu suit OF their
Industries and call them forth only to de-
feat? Let them remain at home and work

We must beg leave TO differ with gentle
men who advise a desultory, careless cam
paign in the coming canvass in this State
Men of conservative principles labor for the
good of the county more than for self. BY
concert of action and good delegations from
different parts of the county, the general
wish OF the people can be obtained. Let
candidates announce themselves in the
usual way, subject to a County OF State
