The Registration Bill.

The Columbus Sunday News gives
this synopsis of the Registration Bill:
The bill provides for the registra-
lion of those electors who have re-
sided in the county, township or
ward for a period of less than one
year. City and village councils and
township trustees are required to ap-
point for each voting precinct a
Board Of Registrars, to consist Of
two persons of opposite politics, who
snail hold their Office for one year,
and who shall meet at the usual
places of holding elections on the
third Friday next preceding the reg
ular October and April elections, and
remain in session for two days, If
necessary, to conduct the registrs-
ton of all voters affected by the law
who may apply for that purpose.
Persons so applying will be required
to subscribe under oath to a state
ment as to their qualifications to
vote. which statement shall be num-
.bered, and a corresponding state
ment with a like number shall be
furnished the elector, to be present
ed to the Judge when he goes to the
polls. The bill further provides for
the subdivision of the wards into
election precincts, whenever it Is
found that any ward contains more
than six hundred voters. 1t also
provides against the congregation in
and about voting places Of persons
in such numbers as to hinder voters
from or delay them in casting their
ballots.
These are the general features Of
the bill, without its details. The law
is believed to be a good one. It's
passage was approved by the Demo
cratic members.

Murphy Songs.

Hamilton Telegraph: We excerpt
from our exchanges the words of
some. of the more popular songs used
by the boys where the contest RACES
the fercest.
Up in Lancaster, Ohio, this is pop
ular as a starter:
I wish were 8 Murphy,
really do, indeed;
It seems to me the Murphies
Get everything they need.
They get the largest and the best
Of everything that grows;
And get to hug the incest girls
And wear the finest clothes.
If the sentiment expressed in the
last lines of this refrain can be sub
stantiated by facts of the record!
As they warm up to their work
this is their battle cry:
Dare to be a Murphy
Dare to stand alone,
Dare to sign the Murphy pledge,
Dare to make it known.
And they wind up the entertain
ment with this sentiment:
Hurrah hurrah for the Murphy band,
Let it spread through all the land;
Come and sign ye that know the taste Of rum,
Give up drinking, ask Gods help, come, oh! come.
Brother Lige" has been drafted
for service in the Piqua meetings,
and at every gathering ''Lige' comes
forward and sings q song, Of which
the following is q verse. 1t is the
taking card:
BROTHER LIGE's SONG.
"Brudders, don't you want to be dai
Yes, my Lord.
A sitting in the kingdom,
To hear Jordan roll,
CHORUS.
Roll, Jordan, roll,
Roll, Jordan, roll.
/ want to 90 to heaven when die,
To hear Jordan roll"

Protection to Southern Re-
pubIiCanS.
An exasperated and exasperating
T ReDUblican eychanon observes:

The Sioux Indians have kept their promises
come in and surrendered. But viii Wade Hamp
ton, Nichols, Butcher Butler" and the other
mobOCratiC White Liners and kuklux of the
South keep their pledges made to the patentees
of the Administrations Southern policy Of COncil-
iatiOn and trust? "White man is mighty uncer-
tain"
IfHampton and Nichols shouldn't
keep their pledges, what is the Gov
ernment going to do about it Hav-
ing denied its right to use the troops
for the maintenance of public order
and the preservation of republican
government, even when called upon
to do so by the legally elected Gov
ernors of the States, it cannot expect
the usurping Governors who have
been set up, to call for military in
terventiOn, even though their follow
ers should massacre half the colored
and white Republicans ot Louisiana
and South Carolina Springfield
Qll) Journal.
We beg leave to remind our friend
of che Journal, that the President
has not denied his ''right to use
troops for the maintenance of public
order and the preservation Of re-
publican government in the South
ern States. In his orders for the
removal of the q. S. troops from
Louisiana and South Carolina, he dis
tiRetly said that no such state of
things seemed to exist in those
States at that time as to demand the
interference of U. S. troops to pre-
serve the peace, thus clearly imply
ing that in his Judgment state of
things might exist there which aooasJd
justify such interference. And we
think it very clear that he would
have a right to send U. S. troops to
protect the colored and white Re
publicans of any Southern State,
from violence or outrage, should it
become apparent that they are sub
jected to such treatment, and the
State authorities refuse to protect
them.
The President is sworn to see that
the lalo8 Of tile z. States are crecuted,
and is authorized to use the army
and navy, if necessary, for their en-
/ forcement. And we feel sure, that
President Hayes will be prompt to do
his duty, should such On unfortunate
emergency arise.
If any one, North or South, sup
poses that the President intends to
leave the Republicans of the South,
white or black, without protection,
should they need it, whoever en-
tertains such an opinion will find
himself grossly deceived. The
President is trying to give peace to
the South, by restoring local self-gov
ernment, but as he distinctly stated in
his inaugural, he holds there can be no
just local self government, unless all
the rights of every citizen, white and
black, are equally acknowledged and
respected; and if the white people
Of the South fail to acknowledge and
respect those rights, they will thereby
forfeit the confidence the President
has placed in them, and he will be
justified in promptly affording that
protection which the State neglects
or refuses to grant.

ALook Ahead,


Boston Journal: It is to be ex-
pected the acts of the President will
excite criticism from members of his
own party. Some of these critics al
ready assure US that President
Hayes by his Southern policy has
DESTROYED all hopes of the success Of
the Republican party IN 1880. 1t IS
the next election" bugbear which
contributed materially to the demor-
alization of the party during Presi-
dents Grants last four years, and 1t
is President Hayes personal lndlt-
ference to this ''next election talk
whicbgives him his greatest strength.
For our own part, the result OF the
National election in 1880 is so re-
mote that to contemplate its posi-
biIities we consider time wasted.
The surest way to influence the
result in 1880, is to see that the pres
ent Republican administration re-
deems the pledges of the campaign
President Hayes has given an earnest
that his written words were not cam
paign promises. 1t is possible that
his efforts may not bring about the
result we anticipate, but we never
felt more encouraged in our belle
that a new era is dawning upon this
country, than we are to-day. Five
months of quiet will, we believe
/ produce evidences which will remove
doubts which some honestly enter
tain, and show that the President
policy has given the Republican par
ty renewed claims to public conf
] dence.

Will the Prophecy be Full
filed.

The war in Europe has revived
the old prophetic verse, uttered in
1853:
In twice two hundred years the Bear
The Crescent shall assail,
But if the Cock and Bull unite
The Bear shall not prevail.
But look, in twice ten years again,
Let Islam know and fear,
The Cross shall waz-the Crescent wane,
Grow pale and disappear.
The prediction has certainly had
a remarkable fullfllment thus far
In four hundred years after 1853, or
about 1854, the Crimean war broke
out-the Russian bear assailing the
Turkish Crescent. The Gallo cock
and English bull united in defense
of the Turks, and the bear was, for
the time, vanquished. And now
twenty years later-the bear returns
to the attack, by which, according to
the old prophecy, the Crescent is to
be finally subdued.
