long acted prominent objection to its use; but
in this form the trouble is entirely obviated. A

to the excellence and success of "WHbor's Cod

To Voters and Judges Of Election.

The legislature of last winter gave
a large discretion to the judges of cleo
ton in the matter of prepayment of
capita.ion tax. They had not time to
perfect the law, and so they simply
enacted that the judges should do the
best they can for the time being.
Voters cannot be required to present
tax receipts under the law as it now is,
but when they have the receipts it is
well to carry them along. For the
present the act simply contemplates
that the judges will make inquiry about
the payment Of the capitation tax, and
if they deem it necessary may require
voters to make oath. The object of the
law is not to keep persons from voting,
but to make them pay their tax, aud
hence it was not thought advisable to
make the law more stringent until the
next session. This is about the eXplana-
ton given of the whole subject by
gentlemen who helped to enact the law
and by those who have carefully eN-
amined it. Judges ofelection and voters
should try to understand the question.
Payment of one dollar entities the
voter to his privilege, and the judges OF
election may accept his statement or
require his affidavit, as they please.
