THE REGISTRATION LAW.

In the defects urged against this act
we can see no valid objections. 1t may
not be all that is required, but it is
certainly step toward reform. The re-
view of registration should, we think. be
hailed with pleasure since the develop
ments Of the witnesses in the election
contests of the last four years. Much we
doubt, will depend on the character Of
those who shall be appointed to conduct
the elections, but We apprehand from the
conservative character of Governor Kel-
logg, his sincere desire to convince the
public of his fairness, and the small in
ducement on the part Of the the Republi-
can majority to furnish fragrant examples
of its own misrule, that the next election
will be among the fairest and most peace
full ever held in our State.
One fact startles US. The Fusion press
welcomed Governor Yarmouth, de-
nounced as worse than Barabas. He
controlled the last election, under the law
Just repealed. Was that law approved or
objected to by the Fusionists? We do
not remember to have heard word of
objection. The FINGERS of Governor
Warmoth were rated at an equivalent Of
twenty thousand votes in favor of Fusion.
They were exercised with entire freedom
in the registry and calculated returns" Of
1872. Did any Fusion man, or news
paper even, object that this patent abuse
of official position was praciced? If any
inch there be, let them speak. Why the
raeords Of investigation show that the lame
IaIked to their polls, the blind saw we'll
.rourh to indorse ticket, and the graves
oave up the names on the tombstones,

to be registered and recorded in favor OF
the Fusionists. It was then that the
"breech-loaded ballot box was patented,
and the electoral Golfers were stuffed, or
emptied as the tabulated returns required.
Yet, that law, SO capable of perversion
and SO corruptly administered, was &C.
cepted without objection, and employed
without scruple by the Fusionists. A law
coming to repress that law; reviser Of
the registry; the removal of the dead and
absent is subject of complaint, and
clause which excludes officers conducting
the elections from candidature for office
under the election which they conduct,
receives no approval.
We fear the Fuslonists object more to
apprehended results than to the law of
registry. 1t is unfortunate that SO strong
an infusion of French politics has min
gled with tie simpler forms Of republican
rule. We are told that the people must
await the registration. Let us, says one
organ, wait:
The registration will speak for itself. If
fair, we can accomplish our ends through
its operation as well as any other. If not
we'll, it will only be postponing the settle
ment. Watch it-thats all; and if it trans
pires that we are to be cheated again, why
let's deliver our votes in new style and
without waiting for election day.
That is, if we can carry the election
under the law let us do SO, if not let us carry
the election over the law, by disorder and
violence. While we have no apprehen-
sions that the registration will be corrupt
ly administered, or that men enough can
be found to render necessary the armed
occupation of Louisiana by federal troops,
we shall await the operation of the registry
law with confidence that its enactment
was founded in fairness and that the execu-
tor will afford no just cause of complaint
to any interest for the manner in which
be will organize the registry and commits
sioners of election.
