NEXT week we will publish the
Registration law passed by the late
Republican Legislature of Ohio. 1t
is one of the most useless and IN
called for laws ever inflicted upon
the people of the State, and will cost
the Taxpayers over fifty thousand
dollars annually, and is simply a
piece of political rascality to increase
and encourage fraud at our elections.
I. a passed by a strict party vote
and the Republicans can get ready
to defend the odium ofthis infamous
and unconstitutional measure, which
instead of throwing protection and
guards around the purity of the bal
lot-box, increases the opportunities
for dishonesty and villainy. 1t will
operate severely against the laboring
classes and poor men and disfran-
chise thousands of them, who can not
and will not, spare the time it will
consume to travel to the place of reg
istry before every election. The
clear propositions of the bill are,
first: that a new Office is created, a
Registrar, who is to be paid for four
DAYS service twice or three times
each year, in every voting precinct
in the State! Second-the Regis
trar, of course, is a partisan, a mem
Der of the party in the majority, from
whom the people have always most
to fear. By the terms of section 6,
if a man makes a false statement or
mistake as to his age, even if he be
beyond fifty years of age, he may be
fined $500 and imprisoned six
months. That is the mannerin which
it proposes to treat the citizen; but
turn to section 8 and you will find if
the Registrar fails to perform his
duty-how gently this bill deals with
him, he shall be liable, to a penalty of
one hundred dollars. No imprison-
ment for him. Oh, no! The Regis
trar in your cities IA enter into a
grand conspiracy with your Eph
Hollands, your Burns, from Chicago,
your "Mike the Bite" to thwart the
will of the people, to change the re-
suit of an election in a county, even
in the State, and he, the Registrar,
shall go acquit for 500, and that
perhaps paid out of the corruption
fund in the hands of your political
executive committees and rings.
With such a law on our statute books,
how is the villaipy of stealing whole
States by political gamblers to be
prevented!

There are perhaps three ifths of
the Republicans who endorse what
they are pleased to call Hayes South
ern policy; but had Tilden been cleo
ted and the same course pursued by
him every man of them would have
denounced him as a rebel sympathiz-
er and an enemy to the colored man.
What would have been treason with
Tilden is patriotism in Hayes.

New York SAM: Zach Chandler
has left Washington for good, and
gone back to Michigan. We fancy
the days of his public services are
over, and he will have leisure to give
undivided attention to his large es-
tate. Zach is a rough specimen,
but he is very far from being a fool.
No man contributed more to count
in Hayes than the wiley Zachariah;
yet the Fraudulent President turns
the cold shoulder on him, and has
put in his place in the Cabinet the
doctrinaire Schurz whose speciality
is the civil service reform humbug.
Good-by Zaehariah. Take the
pledge and your days will be longer
and happier. . e.,

The State officers to be elected in
October are, Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, State Treasurer, Supreme
Judge, Clerk of the Supreme Court,
Member of the Board of Public
Works, State School Commissioner
and Attorney General-eight candi-

OHIO,

There is trouble in the usually
happy Republican family of Ohio.
Acting Gov. Young has been kept
busy travelling between Columbus
and Washington to confer about the
situation with the Fraudulent Presi-
dent. The mail and the telegraph
are not trustworthy enough,for their
secrets. They must meet in a dark
corner to discuss the dangers, and to
invent a remedy for them if possible.
1t is no longer concealed that un-
less a great reaction suddenly occurs,
the Democrats will sweep Ohio next
fair by a stunning majority, and
leave Mr.. Hayes the cold comfort OF
being repudiated by his own State
at the very first chance after the
successful fraud which carried him
into the White House. This work
will be done in great part by old
fashioned Republicans who believe
they have been betrayed, and who
intend to rebuke the treachery, eth
er by going to the polls and voting
squarely for Democratic candidates,
or by refusing to vote at all.
The attempt to make light of the
revolt which old Ben Wade leads in
the Western Reserve, and which ex-
tends in a greater or less degree
throughout all the rural districts,
has quickened the Indignation Of
thousands who have heretofore taken
no active part in this movement
They intend to show their strength
both actively and passively, in one
or the other of the modes suggested
If the election we're TO come off now
the Republican ticket wouldfbe beat
en- by tens of thousands.
There is nothing likely to occur
between this time and October K
modify the resentment which per
vades the party. Indeed, it is likely
TO grow worse; and although the ex
ira session Of Congress was put of
at the earnest request of the loca
politicians in the hope that time
might sooth the opposition ane
enable the managers to make terms
with the insurgents, that experiment
will prove a failure, as other attempt:
at reconciliation have done.
The feeling against the admins
trationi is perhaps more bitter among
the Republicans of Ohio than in any
other part of the Union. Hayes i!
necessarily the first object of theil
wrath, but John Sherman,I Stanley
Matthews, "Indexp Noyes, and tn,
whole Ring of sharpers who wer,
concerned in the conspiracyfor theii
own profit, and sold out the part,
that trusted its honor in their hands
are included in the Indictment which
is to be tried at the polls in October
They will all be branded with thu
same mark of disgrace, and con
demned to ignomirious exile from
all future position in the State
Gov. Young and his associates have
read the hand writing on the wall
and are preparing for the defea'
which they know to be impending
He has been telling the innocent of
fee seekers at Washington that thu
"sifver question is the m~ainisourc,
Of discord which menaces the Re
publican party in Ohio! About thu
ides of October, he will be ap
to sustain the President; half thu
others are ashamed to confess tina
they have been disappointed, deceiv
ed and betrayed, while the other hal
cannot talk on the subject withou
swearing, and therefore prefer not tt
talk at all. Ohio wilf-not indors'
the Presidents Southern policy"

The Wayne County Democrat
says, "The late Legislature passed a
law providing that a person who
shall not feel disposed to work out
his two days on the roads, can get
rid of it by paying $3.50. Hitherto
$500 was required. This would
seem to benefit the man who is dis
inclined to take the shovel and work
out his two days; but it don't bene-
fit the working man who is hired to
work out the two days for him."

1t is a rule among the retail dry

while chaffering at the counter.

he declares his intention TO stand by
the Administration Southern policy
and all. Of course he'll, do that.
He can't afford to do anything else.
For four mortal years the Federal Of
fees will be at the disposalof Hayes,
and, as Morton has no available po-
litical capital worth mentioning,
except his Influence in obtaining
offices for his partisans, he has no al
tentative but to keep on good terms
with Hayes or retire from business.

Gen. Sherwood says: "It is safe
to say that the Republican party
South is no more" For the past
seven years the Republican party in

hold the South in submission to
the stealings that were being carried
ON by official thieves, who called
themselves State officers.
