The Repealed Section 2, Act. 1877;

The Repealed Section 2, Act 1873.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted,
That the Registrars appointed under
this Act shall meet at the county
seat of their respective counties on a
day at least seventeen days prior to
any general election. Sundays except
ed, and shall continue in session ii,
teen days, for the purpose of revising
the registration lists of their county,
and registering such persons as may
have become qualified session TO
close not more than two days prior
to the election Provided, That this
Act shall not be so construed as to
require general registration until
after the next general election.
Tbs it will be seen that two days
only are allowed tn, Registrars in
each beat to register, and but three
days at the county seat. OF course
it would be impossible for any Board
OF Registrars TO adm mister the oath
and issue the certificates to all the
voters in such districts as number a
and 5 of this county-say 1850 in
each-in the short space OF two days
and, judging from former experience,
the result would be that while all the
white voters were registered, the less
fortunate colored voters would be
kept in the background to the last
and left out in large numbers. This
would result in one of those beauti-
full Louisiana muddles, to which dis
tance, if anything, "lends enchant.
ment,' and to which the sober think
ing people of Mississippi, are GER
talaly opposed.
Another serious defect in the law
has been brought to light by the re-
cent decision OF the Supreme Court,
that it is optional with SEeiiffs to
give bonds as Tax Collectors or not,
Just as the humor strikes them. Near
ly all of the Tax Collectors OF the
State are now under bond. but these |
bonds not being required by law, it |
is probable that many bondsmen
may desire to be relieved from an un-
necessary responsibility.
While no honest and conscientious
man would desire TO take advantage
OF q mere oversight, made by our
usually infallible legislators. and hold
the responsible Office of Tax Coilec-
tor without giving TO the tax PAYERS
a satisfactory guarantee of their safe
ty in his hands. there might yet be
some of such brazen faced impudence
and audacity, as to plant themselves
upon the letter Of the law, and, as a
general rule these would be the men
IN whose -caases bond would be
most necessary.
In order, therefore, to patch up II |
above two very grave breaches in the |
