One more illustration. The laws of 1866
provide that tx check list, as completed
the day before election, shall be taken to be
the CORRECT list, and that 10 alter,tlo shall
there after lie made except t. add thereto
the anes of such persons as shall" at
such elec ion, "become qualified to vote
III rein" That il, on the Gay of election
the names of all persons taking the free
mans oath may be added to the check lit.
The laws Of 1868, however, provide that at
atty meeting Of the board of civil authority
held prior t. TN election. the freeman'e
oath may be administered, and that no
meeting of The board of civil authority,
shall b. be d for any hearing under the
provislo rs of this act, later Il a I the day
"pe :eding he day Of eeoton." 1t is
claimed, by some, at the Law Of 1868 re-
peals the law of 1865, upon the general
principle that a sui quent law repta.s q
former one which is Inconsistent with it,
The principle Is correct, but, in our judy
ment, king the 30 1t flutes togt ther, each
as q whole, there is no conflict; while to
hold that the law Of 1868 repeats that of
1866 might nnlliIy the constitutional pro-
vision relative to the qualifications of a
freeman. There IS, however, just enough
of a question about il to haog a DOUBT on,
and TO prevent an uniform practice
throughout the state.

We publish, elsewhere, communication
from Zone of the town authority of Ben
ninpton, in reply to some structures we
made Thursday, on the alleged fact that
twenty fl re foreigners, who were natural
lied Monday, were refused registration"
that day or the next, "on the ground that
"the time had exI ired." We said, then,
that we trusted, " for the honor of Yer
"mont, that the fact, are not correctly re-
"ported." Our structures were made on
the alleged facts as reported, and not on
another state of facts Upon the facts as
reported, our stric ures were just but it
seems-as we should have known from the
source through which the story came to
the public-that there was no such state of
facts; that these foreigners were not re-
fused registration "on the ground that the
slime had expired" but fors he reason, that,
upon the face of their naturalization papers
they were not citizens Of Vermont. The
decision of the Bennington board OF civil
authority was entirely proper and legal !;
for in order to obtain naturalization in
Troy, they must have resided in the state
of New York one full year next preceding
the date OF their naturalization papers-that
is, September 4, l876-and' consequently
could not have resided iDVermont one year,
or in the town of Bennington three months
next cling the day of election.

The necessity of having some authorize
tive exposition Of our election laws ap-
peared in the action of the Rutland board
of civil authority. The case in brief was
this Ore John Doc applied to be regis
tered, aud it appeared thai he had lived in
this state some five or Fix years, but that
he had wife somewhere in the state OF
New York, from whom he had separated
years ago; that during al of these years,
they had lived separate and apart that
she had applied for a divorces and that
there was 10 intention on his part, and had
not been for years, of again living with his
wife. Yet the board refused him registra-
ton, deciding that his residence was with
his wife in New York, and not in Yer
mont. OF tie absurdity of this decision
and its logical resu,t-that IN ugly wife by
refusing TO live with her husband. could
dsfranch,e him-we need not speak. The
fact that il was made shows the necessity
of specific, authoritative Instructions so
plain that suc1 ridiculous decisions cannot
be made in the fu ure.

The Business Outlook.

Undoubtedly there is better state of
feeling in mercantile circles. The cheap
ening of coal, the renewal of work in the
manufact iring district, the somewhat
higher prices for certain lines of goods, the
presence of local dealers in our city in un-
usual numbers, the beat August business
for three years, all tell their story of le-
gitimate business springing up. caused by
the large crops and short stocks in many
lines of manufactured goods. But there is
still trouble in the stock market. The
'strett" is blue. The clears" hold high
revel, and we judge that while there may
be partial revival of commercial industry
we must expect that the demand for lower
prices will affect the great railway corpo-
rations as it has all other departments of
business. This shaking out of prices may
some day reach our banks. the express
stocks, or the high priced railroad stocks.
Perhaps the most cautious and conservative
investors of the country had their money in
the great coal stocks, and supposed they
were placed out of the reach of any con-
| tiugency in the market yet we find the
stock of the powerful corporation of yes
| terday mere fancy on the "street" to-day.
1t would be well for investors to profit by
their experience in the "street" during the
last Six nOulHS anu quic'lr Bct Ilu VI thel
high-priced railway stock. 1t Hayes and
Wheeler ale elected the contracting pre-
cess will go on and all inflated bubbles will
be prcked. 1t is better for the country
thpt it should be so. The spectacle of i'm
provement in general business and the de-
cline of stock values is not an uncommon
one in commercial communities, and We
arc likely to witness it for some time to
come The contraction which ls going on
will make it very hard for people who arc
in debt but those out of debt and who sci
for cash can do a safe and profitable bust
ness. But the "bulls" in Wall street mus
bide their time. Their opportunity seems
however. to be in the distant future as yet
-Grdphic.

We would sugge,t to the members elect
of the general assembly the propriety of
revising, amending and consolidating the
election laws of the state; and further, of
comforting upon some individual or com
mission the authority to issue definite in
struclions to govern in making up the
check list so as to make the practice uni
form throughout the state. The necessity
for this ia seen in the diverse action of the
boards Of civil authority 10 the towns of
Bennington and Arlington relative to reg
isteiing and receiving the votes of certain
natura zel ci liens. Their votes were re-
iected in Bennington on the ground that,
if they were resilcnts Of Vermont, they
could not have been naturalzed in Troy.
Their votes were received in Arlington for
the reason, we presume, that the natural
ization papers were conclusive as TO the
fact of citizenship, and that residence in
the town and state appeared otherwise.
