The New Registration Law.

/
The Registration Law is now in force
and its execution will be required for the
first time at the coming general election in
October. The gist Of the law is as follows:
1st. No voter is required to register who
has resided in county 3G0 days, or in a
| township, village or ward 355 days prior
| to an election.
I'd. Voters who remove from one county.
! township, village or ward, to another, who
have registered or take the precaution to
90 so, a residence in the county of 80 days
/ OF IN the township or village removed to of
| ~ days, Is all that is required. But should
the person so removing not have a certii-
! cate OF registration, then a residence of 36O
| days in the county, and Of 355 days in the
village, township or ward, prior to an cleo
tion, will be required.
If a man who is the head of a family, re-
moves from one township, village or ward
in the same county where he has resided
800 days (or 80 days where registered) he
is entitled to vote without regard to the
number of days residence, providing he
does not previously vote at the same cleo
ton IN the township, village or ward from
| winch he removes.
IL Is not necessary to be a resident of a
county 81 days before registering, but the
voter must be a resident 30 days prior to
| the election to secure a vote.
Every voter that has not been a resident
OF county $50 days prior to an election,
Will be required to register at the usual
places of holding elections in the respec-
tive townships, villages or wards, on the
Sd Friday preceding such an election!
The places of registration shall be open
from a. m. until p. m. of said day.
Mr.. W. P. Rowland, Of Columbus, says
the New York Tribune, who is frequently
talked of as possible Republican candi-
date for Governor of Ohio thinks the Re
publicans will hold their own in the State,
since none of them expect to do any good
by refusing to vote, and all the Liberal, Re
publicans are heartily in accord with the
President. As for the feelings of the dis
appointed Republicans, he says: "The
general feeling here is that, whatever may
have been expected or desired, it is done,
and there is no help for it. There was, of
course, a general expectation that with
Hayes President, Packard would at least
be recognized as Governor, and there was
a natural disappointment at the contrary
result, but our people generally regard the
question as they would one decided by
court-It's decided and there's no use
talking about it."

to pass the same dog through three or four
times, getting the 80 cents for it each

connected with the city, from drowning a
dog to cleaning a street. Yesterday there
were 7G5 dogs waiting identification or
death. Their howlings were pitiful; they
seem to know what is going to happen to
them and they act about as men would.

was compelled TO go to the hospital. The

A solid South seems to be in a very hope

Carolina are revolving the question of dis.
banding. Georgia, Mississippi and Ala
bama have already set the example and
peace and happiness prevail. There can
not be anything but concilHation, where
there is no Republican party, or in other
words, no antagohism to Democracy, and
to this We are to come at length. Wheth-
er the Democracy can hold together. and
work to effect without opposition, is as yet
an open question. But we shall see. If
the Presidents policy is to work out ad-
Fantages in this way, it is not improbable
that something may come out oft. Some
Of the worst evils that the democracy have
had to contend with are those that they
have struggled the hardest to bring about.

Inc Presidents order compelling federal
office-holders to abstain from political
management is creating a vast amount of
trouble in this city, where the federal Of
fees have been held as rewards for politi-
cal work. Several Republican organiza-
tions in the city were differed exclusively
by custom-house appointees, and they have
al resigned their posilions-not in the Gus
tom-house but in the clubs-and are now
high privates. The Times growls about
this, and predicts all sorts of trouble in the
fall. Boss Kelly processes to see in it an
opportunity for carrying the Republican
districts in the interest of Tammany, and
boasts that he will control the next Legis-
lature, They will all find themselves mis-
taken. The citizens who are not office
holders will take the leadership, and they
will do the work more effectively than the
political bummers ever did. In fact, the
impudent and arrogant control Of the Gus
tOm-house has done the party more harm
than good, from the beginning. 1t was
not pleasant for good Republican to go
to his ward caucus, and find the machinery
all set up by paid hessians, and ticket ar
ranged which to him was as distasteful as
though it had all been made of Democrats.
For these professional politicians are all of
them son the make" and they cared very
little who paid them. In the old Tweed
days they would bargain with the Boss as
TO the kind of a Republican they would
send to the Legislature, until there grew
up a class of Tammany Republicans who
had much better have been in the ranks of
the Democracy, for they acted with them
IN everything essential. The assumption
OF control by these men drove out of poll
ties the better class of Republicans, for
they saw the party in the hands of un-
worthy men, who used their power for their
own advantage, and they were unable to
cope with the trained cohorts. l predict
that the politics of the city will be run to
better advantage than ever before, and that
instead Of losing we shall gain seats in the
Legislature. The work of purifying the
custom-house goes on steadily and faith
fully. Fifty-seven dead-beats were turned
out last week, making the whole number
discharged come very close to five hundred,
and the saving to the Government quite
$G00,000 And besides, abuses are being
stopped, and men are being put in who
will run the business on a strictly business
basis. The President has done a splendid
work for New York.

TINE SUGAR PRODUCT.

The Louisiana sugar crop Of the present
season Is confidently estimated at 100000
hogshsads. From 1880 To 1881 the product
had grown from los, 900 tons TO 10000. In
1868 Il sunk TO 10000; in 1865 10 5000 tons.
Since the war the revival has been very slow.
For the last three or -four years IL has been
gaining 81 the rate Of 5000 hogshesds . year.
The average Of the hogsheads 10 something
over I,loo pounds. The crop Of last season
amounted 10 1853, $50 hogshesds or l9o,672,-

Mr.. Enron: There has lately been an attempt
apparently to make the delivery of mail matter and
newspapers an offence against the observance Of the
Sabbath. l could not well say whether the Saddu-
Gees, or the Scribes, or The PhArisees, had any thing
to do with il, but to come to q correct decision Of
this very serious and grave matter. IL appears TO
me the best plan to follow the practice Of lawyers
and look for precedents, and if no precedents can
be found to let the matter rest, until a precedent is
actually found.
Neither the book Of Genesis, nor Exodus, nor the
Song Of Solomon, says any thing about the Post
Office Department Of the olden, very olden time
indeed, and it may therefore be concluded that a
Postmaster or POstmaster-Genera mAil-rider and
mail bags, are creatures created q long while after
fish and fowl and the creatures Of the sea were
made. Furthermore, tits convincing proof that Moses
had no POst-ofice established for his correspondence
with Pharaoh, or for the correspondence Of his people
with the Egyptians, who undoubtedly held a vast
amount Of slow notes for the borrowed gold and silver,
which the departing Israelites forgot to pay for.
1t is also a fact tolerably we'll established that
Solomon had nominated no Post master in the
City of Jerusalem, otherwise from the heavy cor.
respondence which the wise King must have car
ried on with his numerous wives and sweethearts,
undoubtedly a few would by this time have been
found in the excavation where the Post Office
building might have been situated, az every one
is aware that however highly love letters may be
valued by the respective parties, Post masters set
mighty little value on them. The historian
~Josepbus also totally ignores the Post office Of
Jerusalem, but perhaps if 1t existed the scribes
and Pharisees did not call for their letters. checks
or exchanges on the Sabbath day. and waited
patiently until the Postmaster General opened his
delivery window at the third hour OF the next day;
but as it is bat natural and really human to sup
pose that the Scribes and Pbarisees of Jerusalem
were as anxious to get their mail matter and
news papers from Rome and Babylon and Nine
web as those Of Honolulu, I propose TO let the
matter rest and go on as usual until a precedent
establishes a law.
