Registration.

There are great many persons IN tins

registered as quail fed voters, but who fail
to become so in consequence Of disappre-
hension of the law on the part of the officers
Of Registration Every one who is disfran-
chised by the action of thebfFicers Of regis
tration should without delay take steps to
have the wrong corrected by bringing the
matter before the Judges of the Circuit
Court. Only those however who applied
to the registers on the particularly adver-
tised days of their sitting can derive any
advantage by taking their cases before a
Judge those who.did not apply on some one
of those particular days are excluded from
pursuing the matter further Those who
did apply to be registered on any of those
days and were refused have their ample
redress, and it is suggested that all such
shall without delay cause their petitions
to be fled in the clerks Office Judge

a particular day for the hearing, that duo

Be Active.

1t is true the days are over for the sitting
Of the officers Of Registration and it is also
true that many who have applied and who
believe themselves legally entitled to be reg
istered have been refused their applications.
I 1t is not too late to have all this corrected.
The registers have no doubt been governed
by desire to act impartially but there may
be and doubtless are many instances in
which their conclusions will not stand the
test of the trained and discriminating Judi
cial judgment To meet such cases it is
absolutely necessary that prompt, active
and energetic measures should be taken.
The work of the several registration com
mittces is not over. 1t has not ceased with
the closing of the registration boo $, but
much remains to be done. The registration
committees in each district should find out
the names of all those in their respective
districts who have been turned down by the
officers Of registration, make brief memo
randum of the names, ages, length of time
of their residences and the causes of disqual-
ification assigned by the r gisters, and then
leave the same with some trusty person
in Port Tobacco, that lawyer may be en-
ploycd and regular petitions formally filed
| for the action of the judge. If the party
has come among us from another State or
county the memorandum should state the
name of such State or county and the date
as nearly as possible ON which such party
came to the county and became resident
of the particular district, If the party has
been refused a transfer the memorandum
for the guidance of the lawyer should state
the reason assigned by the register for such
refusal. There are eases in which parties
| have removed from one district to another
and who have not voted for years At the
time of removal their names were proper
/ ly stricken from the list of the district re-
moved from and no transfer having been
at the time applied for by them none of
course was issued, and when they this fall
asked TOR transfers The register would say
your name is not on my book and | can
give you no transfer" and the register Of
the district to which the party has removed
will say, you were once registered in an
other district and | can't register you in
this until you bring me transfer" 1t
makes no difference in the opinion of the
register if the party is willing to swear that
he has been bona file resident of the dis
trict for the proper length of time and that
his name is on no registration book what
ever, he is turned down all the same. 1t
is contemplated by the law that every one
entitled should be registered and these mis-
takes of the registers should be corrected
The duty of attending to these things de-
wolves upon the several registration com
mittees and We hope they will without de-
lay in the matter act after the manner here
in above indicated by us.

Hon. Frederick Stone.

We publish elsewhere the card of this
gentleman in the shape of letter to Mr..
Enoch Jones, President of the late Repub-
hcan and Independent nominating conven-
tion, declining to accept the nomination for
House Of Delegates. We were aware that
Mr.. Stone had never sought the position,
in fact that he had repeatedly expressed
himself unwilling to undertake again the
active and arduous duties of political
campaign, but the desire to put forth a
good and acceptable ticket no doubt oper-
ated with the convention, to the exclusion
Of other considerations, as sufficient in
ducement to put Mr.. Stone on the ticket in
the hopes that he would find it convenient
to accept. We exceedingly regret that it is
otherwise, for we know of no one whose
every qualification is more amply calculated
TO meet the requirements and expectations
of the public at this time when experience,
talent, energy and honesty are so much
needed. The convention before its adjourn
ment adopted a resolution providing for the
Sling up Of vacancies on the ticket should
any occur Now that the contingency has
happened the duty of naming some one for
the vacancy devolves upon the Central
Committee for this county The gentle
men of that committee will, we arc sure,
have no difficulty in agreeing upon com
petent and worthy substitute to take the
place made vacant by the resignation of
Mr.. Stone, and as nothing is gained BY
delay we hope they will promptly take
action in the matter
Since tho aforgoing was in type the Cen

agree in recommending the name of James

Comical Scene

At the recent burning of the Patent
Office in Washington, says the New Yorl,
Herald, some rather comical scenes were
enacted in the midst of all the excitement
and confusion. About the most frantic
man to be seen in the building was young
attorney, who sprang from case to case,
shivering their glass sides with small
Ratchet and plunging his hand into their
interiors. Being asked the meaning of
these performances he replied that he was
earning fifty dollar fee A panic stricken
inventor had offered him $50 to find and
save his model, and he was bound to find
it or perish in the attempt.

Nothing Strange.

4 most tender solicitude is noticeable on
the part of many Democrats as to the make
up of the Republican and Independent
ticket The solictude we suspect arise,
from different motives in different instances
The resignation of Mr.. Stone is the theme
of much rejoicing and fruitful source Of
manifold suggestions from Democrats as to
the advisability of substituting this or that
gentleman. Some of them are anxious to
weaken the ticket by successf,Ay monmu.
voring to bring about an itnpr6ter selection
and hence they are diligcntlypt work in
talking up" their man, Others again, re-
alizing the inevitable result on election day
are laudably ambitious that the cloice should
fall to some worthy individual who would
creditably represent the county. The gen
tlemen to whom is delegated the power to
supply the vacancy are however, in our
opinion, likely to be guided by their own
judgments for the best interests of all with
out paying any particular regard to the
advice or wishes of the over kindly Demo
Gratis. This solicitude on the part of poll
teal opponents is not at all surprising, but
is, oh, my most beautifully transparent

The Future of Parties.

The Marlborough Gazette o. last We'd
nesday says that it is a significant fact that
the speech of welcome to President HAYES
at Louisville was made by Rev. Stuart
Robinson, who has been styled the High
Priest of the Confederate cause. 1t is a
sign that the reconciliation between the
North and south is very complete when
such an earnest man as Mr. Robinson
could greet Northern President and a
former Union General as "thc victorious
chief whe had conquered adversary hearts
and won them back to brothcrly affection. :
The editor of the Wheeling Mtclijqencey
in recent issue of that paper says that
while in Louisville last week he heard
the effect of the Presidents visit to the
South discussed by party of gentlemen Of
whom Mr.. Watterson, of the Cowier-Jpar-
nal, was one. The editor of the L,tcHi-
geacer says:
Gone point of the discussion was as to
the effect this tour of the President would
probably have upon the future of the two
partics-in other words. whether it would
insure to the special benefit of the Presi-
dents party or not. There was some diff
ference of opinion as to the exact party
bearings Of the visit, but the weight Of
opinion was shat while it would naturally
disarm Southern prejudice against the Re
publican party, yet, as u grand result, it
would rather initiate against partyism Of
any kind. This, in our judgment, was a
correct conclusion. Mr.. Watterson's sum
mary of the matter was that while il NIGH
and probably would, benefit tho Republican
party, it would not do SO without beneftino
the whole country, and if the country was
to be benefited he, for one, had no regrets over
the incidental good that might insure to the
Republicans.
