Father Wolfe with breviary, or book OF
prayer.

them warmly and cxhorted them to continue

to carry the burden OF their worthy pastor,
his former coadjutor, Rev. Benno Hegele,
by good behavior and obedience to his in
structions.
Rev. Father Hegele, who was also present,
expressed his satisfaction at the noble givers !;

REGISTRATION To-DAY-A QUESTION DE.
eCrDED-PERsoNAL-MoRE z CANDIDATES
III TIE FIELD. = - stlffstzf;l'!tf u ~

To-day, under the act OF Assembly, the
proper officers will commence registering
the qualified voters Of the city at the Tot;ns
places I'm the several wards. The voting
places are already well known, and need not
be repeated at this time, As the old law is
now null and void, it VIII be necessary for
all those persons who desire to vote at the
approaching election to register, within the
next seven days. :
4 sNr. Samuel r. Perdue, one OF the regis
trars recently appointed by Judge Guigon,
has had occasion to address letter to that
gentleman on o very important matter, in
which no doubt many persons are interested.
It Is in relation to the right of person re-
gistering here under the new law who is
already registered voter in another part Of
the State. The correspondence is published
below: ' n'a' Es sG 81.
Hon. Il. B. Guigon, Judge Hustings Court !:
Dear Sir,-A question has arisen respect
ing the necessity OF a transfer in case of a
voter proposing to register here who Is at
present registered voter in some other part
OF the Commonwealth. Will you please adj
wise me whether in such a case formal
transfer, as provided in the general election
law, is in your judgment necessary .s
Yours respectfully, ~
SAMUEL r. PERDuE.
Richmond, April "a, 1876.
Samuel II. Perdle, Esq: ...,,. -
Dear Sir,-Av voter registered in any other
county or city than Richmond cannot regis
ter at the new general registration here
without his transfer. Very respectfully,
es.f eats A. b. GUIGoS.
It is expected that every Conservative
voter in Richmond will register, for as there
are SO many candidates in the field their
friends will be likely to get out their full
| strength to register as well as to vote.
| It seems that Mr.. Hundley did not decide
to 60 into the primary election until about
ga week or more ago." and not three or
four weeks ago, and that he did not wait
until last Friday night to get the endorse
ment OF the Independent meeting. We are
| informed that he requested the meeting not
to endorse any one, as they all proposed
"honestly to go into the primary election
No one was endorsed or recommended by
the meeting. We may therefore safely
assume that all the Independents are now
back into the party, and that the primary
election on the 9th OF May will show a full
vote OF the united Conservative white mans
party. .rsr......
In the notice yesterday of candidates who
had announced themselves in our columns,
we omitted to state in reference to Mr.. Roys-
ter, City Auditor, and Mr.. Greenhow,
Treasurer, that they are the present in

HOLY! cosfMUfIIos AND CoNFIRMATIoH. IS S
The ceremonies at st. Peters Cathedral
were rendered unusually impressive on
Low-Su Sunday by the large number OF per-
SONS who received the sacraments Of holy
communion and confirmation. At7o'clock
those who had for some time past been pre-
pairing for the reception OF the sacrament,
to the number Of one hundred children and
adults, made their FIRST communion. The
children who had made their first COM
munion last year, and those who were to
make it on Sunday, went into retreat on
Thursday, which lasted until Saturday eve
ming, during which they INDUCED in pious
meditations and received instructions prepa-
ratory to the reception OF the, sacrament.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Gibbons administered COM
firmation at 10 O'clock to one hundred per
sons-twenty-tWo adults, forty-four boys,
were converts. Before administering the
sacrament the Bishop addressed the candi-
dates in most feeling terms, and impressed
upon them the nature and importance OF the
step they were about to take, and exhorted
them to Join with him in an act OF contri-
ton, lest anything be wanting in their dis
positions and sorrow for their sins. At the
conclusion of the ceremony the Bishop again
addressed them, saying that unfortunately il
too often happened that those who had Like
themselves put on the armor OF Jesus Christ,
soon forgot their allegiance to Him. After
warning them against relapse into sin, be
concluded by giving them most salutary ad.
vice.
Solemn High Mass followed the foregoing
ceremony, Rev. Father Hanley being the
celebrant, with Rev. Fathers Janssens and
Moore as deacon and sub-deacon. The choir
sang in fine style Haydn's celebrated mass
No. 9, and at the ofiertory Lambillotte's Ne.
nn0rdre.
In the afternoon, during Vespers, those
who had received their first communion and
been confirmed in the morning made s

testations and vows on behalf OF the girls
and Master James Mackey for the boys
Both acquitted themselves very handsomely
