Registration.

,Thare h. xaid to be a disposition on the ne
nert ~ nany members OF the Legislature 70
have 4 new registration OF yoaefs I'M W. ~.
cities OF Virginia. This disposition tesuls
from tho fact that the negroes, VINO are
m,rratory I'VE will not say PREDATORY IN
their habits, are supposed to be represented
at the ballot.boxes Of the cities BY proxies
who do their voting for them long after .nes
have found new places Of residence ineIe
are more than six thousand registered negro
voters in Richmond, very few Of whom are
known to the officers who supervise the e'ee'
tions. and still fewer of whom nave any
s,,ch standing In the community OF sucn
p.culiarities of person as to make an ini'
preston upon those officers when they cas-
their votes. They may vote first as GEORGE
WAsHISeroN and again as JoHS MARSHALL
and no white man will know that the same
negro has voted twice. II IS suspected tba'
many votes of this sort have been cast IL
Richmond at every election which has taken
Mace since the last new registration OF voters
And 1t is to guard against the repei.'oi' o.
snch frauds upon the ba!iot-poX eaa' II >
n,onosed to order new registration 10 pe
made in the several cities Of the Common
wealth. We are not sure but there o"gn'
n no n new registration in Richmond pre-
yious to every election.
But as to the country, registration ouehs
to be done away with entirely, except 10
townships near enough to the cities 10 en-
able the negroes to vote in both city ana
township. In all that part Of Virginia which
lies west Of the Blue Ridge. and in all the
counties in East Virginia not adjacent 10
cities, registration is useless labor ana ah
uncalled for expense. 1t benehts hooooy'
7, affords no protection to the ballot"ooX,
none being there needed, yet occasions much
trouble before election.das, and unnecessary
DELAY on that day. Let any one attend al
election in township.in any such county as
we have indicated, or in the Valley, and be
will see that every voter. White and b'ack,
is personally known to the voters assembled
at the precinct. There can, therefore, be no
cheating, and consequently there can be no
necessity for registering the names OF the
voters. The expense is considerable item;
and il is more for the purpose of avoid
ing this expense than for any other
reason that the Constitution should be
so changed as to require registration
only where by such a proceeding the
ba.lot-box is protected from fraud, and the
people from the election OF incompetent
officials by rowing bands of negroes. There
will doubtless BIZ new amendments to the
Constitution presented to the consideration
OF the people by the present Legislature,
and we suggest this as one Of them. ii
there is any good reason for inclrring. the
expense and taking the trouble of register
ing the voters in townships where every
voter is personally known to every other
voter We caunot imagine what it IS. A.:

In the course Of time that young man was
elected representative to Congress, and after
wards senator. When Caleb Cushing was
appointed Chief.Justice lie took an active
part against his confirmation, and uneartned
the letter to jeff. Davis, which prevented II.
We forgot to mention that the young mans
name was Aaron A. Sargent.-Boston Herdld.
We do not know as to the accuracy OF this
bit of biography in other particulars, but IN
two points il is faulty. Mr.. Sargent was not
reporter on the Globe, but was compositor
on Houston's Senate Reports, winch were
then printed In what was afterwards known
as Wards Building, corner of Second street
and Pennsylvania avenue; and Mr. Sargent
did not set out for California with Fremont,
but went by water. He and Alr. William L.
MCLEAN {now foreman of the Star ohce)
left Houston's Office on the same day, and
both came to the conclusion to quit the
printing business and try their fortunes in
California. Mr.. Mclean, however, recon-
sidered his purpose, and thus lost his chance
of coming back United States senator from
the Pacific side.- Washington Star. ~
Senator Sargent denies that he left New
buryport because bis abuse of Caleb Cush-
ing made it too hot for him.

sNAPPIsH.

Some i'll conditioned folks are very
hard TO satisfy; if you oppose them they
abuse you, and if you agree with them
they snarl and hint that your action
arises from some sinister motive. As an
example, the other day Mr.. De Long
published card in the Virginia Chron-
icle, to the effect that be was candidate
for United States Senator. The Enter
prise made some courteous remarks on
the matter, and the Chronicle comes back
with a snsrting, boorish rejoinder meant
to be sarcastic; but was merely stupid
and ill hammered. Now we are certainly
not prepossessed in favor Of the Enter
prise in many respects, and moreover,
that paper is about as well able to take
care of itself as any journal on this coast;
but such an exhibition OF ill-natured,
stolid rudeness us is afforded by the
Chronicle in the instance alluded to, is q
just subject of criticism by any one. We
think that journals can support the can
didate OF their choice without exhibiting
boorish Miniature; and seldom advances
their own or the interests of the cause
they espouse by being uncivil and quer-
elous. We offer these observations with
becoming humility. without for a mo.
ment questioning the right of the Chron,
icle to be as disagreeable and uncouth as
it pleases.
