our officers into trouble under the Enforce
ment Act of Congress. We suggest that
the only exceptions under the law should
be the cases Of persons residing Temporal
rily abroad in the discharge of duties I'M
der a State, or United States office, sailors,
students, and persons travelling. There
gest themselves to the Legislature. We
think they should be limited. With such
provisions in regard to residence, and 9th
ers providing for correcting clerical errors,
we believe that registration can be made
an etfectual means of preventing frauds
and maintaining the purity of the ballot
The personal Inconvenience attending it
would be more than balanced by such re-
suits in the minds of all who rightly value
the elective franchise. We again, there
fore, press the matter upon the attention
of our Legislators and respectfully urge the
revision and amendment OF the present law.
In addition to the reasons we have urg
ed against the Governor recommendation
for the abolition of the registration sys-
tenn of the State, We will add the follow
ing iudicious comments from the Easton
Star.
with all Difference 10 the Governor, we
think 1t would be very unwise TO abolish
the registration law. We have not had u
disturbance at the polls touching the right
to vote since the blacks have been admit
ted to the suffrage because the right of
voters had been quietly determined by the
registers; but does any one suppose that,
had the old system of disputing votes at
the polls prevailed. we could have passed
through the ordeal we have, without fights
and riots, bloodshed, arrests and trials =
1t would have been impossible. We ha c
had peace at the polls only because there
was lacking in the elections material for
riots. This is the fruit Of the registration
system. Abolish the registration law, ami
zee thereby incitt all kinds OF disorder az the
elections. The dispute over negro vote
would be sure TO produce collision be
tween whites and blacks. Amend the
defects OF the registration law, particular
| " 10y increasing to al least three weeks
the space between the last sitting of the
registers and the day of election. but we
implore the Legislature not to subject the
counties To the dangers incident To an e
lection without the protection which the
registration system affords. Instead of il
being difficult To get competent persons To
serve a. registers. as the Governor argues,
under the present system, 1t would be i'm
possible to get responsible persons to act
as judges of elections if the registration
| law was repealed. Every fight, every riot,
every negro who might Toe turned down by
the judges, would prove prolific sources
! for the foundation of prosecutions against
| Democrats in the Federal courts under the
Civil Rights Bill and Enforcement Act
| The question is one which certainly
requires the most serious consideration OF
those who have 10 deal with it, and We
are satisfied that the best thing the Lcgis-
| lature can do is 10 remedy the defects in
the present law and continue it in opera
/ ton"

In our issue of the Odd ult.. we made
some comments upon the subject of Regis
tration of voters, briefly giving our reasons
for Directing to the Governors recommen-
dation for repeal of the system, but urg-
ing an amendment Of the present law. We
do not see that any move has been yet
made in the Legislature. This we confess
is a matter of surprise to us; for, with all
due respect to the General Assembly, we
think few subjects Of more Importance de-
mands its attention this session. Under
anv circumstances it would need revision
to correct the errors and inconsistencies
that are to be found in it, as amended in
1870. AS we stated in our previous issue,
we believe that one of the principal trou-
bles with the Registers is in regard to what
constitutes "residence;n and that it should
be required that actual residence, except
in few enumerated cases, should be ne
cessary to registration. In our humble
Judgment this would obviate most of the
difficulties of the Registers, and would
materially conduce in efecting the objects
for which the system was designed. With
in our own knowledge men have left our
county, and even the State, and resided a
broad for one or more years, and yet they
have claimed to be. retained upon, or re-
stored to the lists if stricken off, upon the
ground that they claimed their residence
here. It is such cases, and the cases of
persons temporarily residing in the State.
and, claiming registration as voters, whilst
citizens of other States, that get

Battle ON the Potomac Admiral Car
penter Victorious!

Citizens Of this county, residing on the
banks of the Potomac, have for long time
past been annoyed by depredatlons from
the smaller classes of vessels navigating
that river. Farmers who cut wood for
sale, and cord it on the banks of the river
to be thence shipped to the markets OF
Washington and Alexandria, have especi-
ally been the victims of this thieving. In
fact they have. in this way, been compell-
ed to furnish these vessels, both on their
upward and downward trips, with any "a
mount of wood which could be successful
ly taken on board of them, the amount be-
ing only limited by the wants and oppor-
tunities of the depredators. These raids
have geners lily. beh made in the night
time, but impunity has made the raiders
more bold.
On Friday morning last whilst the boat
of the schooner .>Wulie, of Onancock, Ac
comac county, Va, was engaged in raid
of this character on the wood-pile Of Mr..
George W. Carpenter, it was discovered by
that gentleman, who, taking his gun with
him. succeeded. before the crew were aware
of his presence, SO 10 speak, in surrounding
them. The whole crew, consisting of one
white man and three negroes, were captur-
ed and marched, at the point of the gun,
TO the meat house of this gentleman, where
they were safely locked up. The Captain.
Columbus johnson. who had remained on
board of the vessel, seeing what had taken
/ place succeeded in making sail and re-
turned to Quantico. where he procured the
aid of two men and returned, il is suppos-
ed. for the purpose of rcscuing the prison
ers. Mr.. Carpenter, who recognized the
vessel AS soon as she had cast anchor in
! front Of his house, in company with his
i son and Mr. Mudd, who resides with him.
and taking with him also the white man
/ previously captared, as a decoy, we sup
/ pose, proceeded Immediately To board the
vessel for the purpose of capturing the
I Captain. On boarding the vessel des-
perate hand-to-hand fight Immediately
+ took place, the white man Carpenter had
+ brought with him taking sides with the
+ Captain. as might have been expected.
making the combatants thus four to three.
Victory finally perched upon the banner
of Carpenter, the Captain ignominiously
seeking safety by flight in the small boat,
and the others surrendering. As soon as
Mr. C. could make sail he pursued the
Captain, but night overtaking him he was
F obliged 10 abandon pursuit.
+ The two men from Quantico were rcleas-
ei and returned home. The three negroes
and the white nan were committed 70 the
