Our state sena,orship.

We have authority for saying that the
Senatorial succession in this district ia
virtually settled except upon one not
very important point.
A proposition was made to Guernsey
County, substantially this: That during
the next eight years Monroe should have
the Senator two years, and Guernsey and
the fraction OF Noble, together, six
years: end that any county should have
the right to call Convention to decide
between candidates.
This proposition is agreed upon witt
the exception of the clause providing fol
conventions, and the modification of thi:
insisted upon is, that It shall require al
the counties to call convention. There
may be some further correspondence
upon this point, but therelis no doub
that an agreement will be effected.
We, therefore, with the assent Of th'
Guernsey Commission, given at least BY
implication, place the name of DR.. j. B
WILLIAMS, our present Senator, In ou
ticket, and do not doubt that the Guern
sey and Noble County Democratic pa
Ipers will do the same thing as soon al
they are advised Of the agreement ar
rived at by the Commissioners duly ap
pointed to adjust the question Of sue
eession.

How a Taxpayer Regards the
E RegISfrV Law,

EDS. SIGNAL: The overburthened tax
payer will smile when the new Registra.
tion law, which our Republican states,
men p have imposed upon the people,
will go in force 1t has many beauties
for the sons of toll for which they ought
to he truly thankful. l will endeavor to
point out some of the features which will
make the heart of every taxpayer. happy.
In the first place, in each township the
Trustees are required to meet on the
fourth Monday next preceding each gen.
eral election in October, for the purpose
Of appointing two Registers, which will
only cost the dear taxpayer 81. Provides
that on the third Friday next preceding
every general election the said Registers
are required to meet at the usual place for
holding elections, for the purpose of reg
istration, and are required to be in attend
ance for two days if necessary, tit is
needless to say that it will always be ne
cessary) and for this luxury the dear tax
payer will only pay Sc, (don't squirm y
The next trifing item we meet is for ma
king out an alphabetical list of all the
votes registered In the township, and post
ing the same in some conspicuous place
ten days before the election. which, will
only cost 50, and certainly, Mr, Taxpay
er, you cannot growl at such small sum.i
The pride of having registration law
will certainly smother all growing at the
expense. The next blessing for the poor
taxpayer I find is that the law requires
the Registers to deliver to the Judges of
Election on the morning of the election,
and before the polls open, a list Of all reg,
istered voters in their precincts, which
will only cost the pitiful SUM of So, (very
cheap.) The last item is for the purchase
of books and forms necessary for the
purpose, which will add at least 81 SO to-
the above Add the above items togeth-
er and you have the sum of $18, which is.
the expense Of registration for one elec-
ton. Now double that amount less the
Trustees fees and you have $31 50,what
it will cost each voting precinct each
year. Multiply the above by 35, thehum

amount it will cost this county mot count
ing the loss of time and the inconvenience
for those who are required to register,
Some may ask who are and who are not
required to register. will answer by
saying that the law does not require any
person who has resided in the State one
wear, the county $50, and the township
355 days 10 register. So it's plain to be
seen that the number who are required to
register will not average ten to each got
ing precinct. The only object of the law
is to defraud the poor man out of his vote
who cannot afford to lose two days for
each election, and by this means the au-
thors of this unjust and expensivetaw
hope to retain power even against the will
OF The people and, if necessary, for their
purpose, they will establish an eight to
seven commission to decide all elections,
provided they are allowed to choose Joe
Bradley for the fifteenth man. Shall it
be SO? Never, says JUSTICE.

Many Of our readers will remember
reading the story of the Lark and the
Farmer. The oldlark, on returning from
seeking food, found the young ones sii
in panic. On being asked the cause,
they replied that they had heard the far
mer say that on the next day he would
bring his neighb,rf ani cut down the
grass which would expose tue little ones
to destruction.
"Never mind," soothingly replied the
mother. "if he depends upon his n igh-
hors, my word {cr it his grass will not
be cut to morrow"
And her prediction was verified, but
the uestlings we're again in q. panic be
cause the farmer had said he would send
for his kinsmen. She again quie,ed their
fears
But next day on her return they told
her that the farmer said to his boys, "If
our neighbors and kinsmen are so churl-
ish, we will go to work tomorrow and
cut the grass ourselves
Upon receiving this intelligence the
old lark said, NOW indeed my little
(lears we must be gone, for when man
determines to do his work himself you
may rely on it it will be done" And
accordingly she moved them into the
next field "s ls
