We do not suppose that the fact
that Judge Greene *as truthful

OWL rights bill will be weighed for
one moment against him bye any in
telligent Conservative. We presume
that every true Republicud agrees
him, and VIC have agreed to take a
Republican. We ought to prefer him
for his truthfulnoss, as it is rather
promissory of honesty; this being tho
Nuaslity so long denied light by the
dominant faction. His party afIilia-
ton, private record, social connec-
tions, all bespcak honesty. besides
the fact that We know for whom wo
are voting. Outside of his political

objection can be made TO Judge

ltTudpr the new law the Police Judges appoin,
the Commissioners of Election in all the
country parishes, and the Commissioners
must be chosen, one from each party. Under
the old law the Returning Board consisted Of
the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, the Sec
rotary of State, and two other designated per
sons. They had absolute contsol over the
returns, and could alter, suppress, or reject
them at will. Under the new law no State
officer is member of the Returning Board
The board consisted of five persons, elected
by the Senate, one a. least of the opposing
political party. The returns fare required to
be made out in tripicate, one copy to be for
warded to the Returning Board.
The existence of many fraudulent reglstra-
ton papers, especially in the City of New Or
leans, rendered necessary the passage of a law
providing for an entirely new registration, If
the election in November was to be free, as
we desire it to be, from the irregularities
which had characterized previous elections.
Accordingly, bill was passed by the Legis-
lation on the last day OF the session, aud some
time subsequently was sent for approval. At
ter examining the bill, and finding it in the
main a fair and just measure, married by some
defects, but still vast improvement on the
old law, which must remain in force unless
approved this bull, l announced my intention
to sign and promulgate it as soon as the time
came for entering upon registration. / have
done so, and registration has been actively and
satisfactorily progressing for The past thirty
days, except when interrupted fora brief peri
cd by the instruction OF Sept A.
Desring that there should be no possible
ty OF doubt AS to the fairness of the registra-
ton, | voluntarily offered, before the regis
tration opened, to appoint one clerk, to be
named by the opposition, in every registra-
ton office throughout the State. At the last
election we were denied all repre- sentation,
both in the registration offic $ and at the polls
| have more recently proposed, through the
Republican State Central Committee, toagrte
to the appointment of an advisory board. 10 he
composed of two Republicans and two ID mo
Gratis, aud an umpire to be chosen ty them,
with which board declared my Willingness
to advise and consult in ali matters relating to
the appointment of registration officers, and
the management of registration throughout
the State. There is no just and proper safe
guard that ca nbe suggested to TDe which
will not be willing to throw around the con-
duet of the coming election.
Upon the whole it appears by this adj
dress that Governor Kellogg has per-
formed the duties of his Office much bet
ter than his predecessors, with advantage
to the State, and due regard to fairness
aud Justice AS to the coming election
his steps seem tair, and considering the
course ofthe White League more generous
than could be expected.
