SYNOPSIS OF THE REGISTRY
LAW

Judge j. W. Okey has made the
following synopsis of the registration
law:
At the last session of the General
Assembly,a statute was passed which
is known as the Registration Act.
1t is undoubtedly a very unjust law;
but it is of Importance that it's prov
isions should be as strictly observed
in all things, as if they were entirely
unobjectionable. Unless this is
done, success at the next election is
impossible.
The substance of the Registration
Act, with the constitutional provis-
ions, and other acts relating to the
subject, may be briefly stated as
follows:

If a man who is not the head of a
family removes from one county to

September, 1877, and the day of e.
lection, he will not be permitted to
vote, whether REGISTERED or not; nor
will he be permitted to vote if he is
required by law to register and does
register, and removes thereafter into
any other township, village or ward
nor will he be permitted to vote in
any case, unless he has resided TWEEN
ty days in the township, village OF

the township, village or ward into
which he removes.

BEFORE wHoME TO REGISTER

The registers of voters are two men
of opposite politics, appointed by the
trustees of townships, councils of
cities and villages, or if the trustees
or councils fail to discharge the du-
ty, it must be performed by the clerk
of the township or mayor, as the
Ease may be.

is the nominee for County Recorder.
He is a young man of excellent quail
iications,' a good scribe, honest and
competent and will keep the Records
of the office in a manner that will
give entire satisfaction to interested
parties. In the town of Camden,
Somers township, where "Hf' was
born, lived and done business all his
life, no man stands better or fairer in
that community, and the people there
will vote almost unanimous for him
to be cur next Recorder.
DAHL. W. HARsHMAN,
of Jefferson township, is our nomi-
nee for County Commissioner. Here
is an office the taxpayers of Preble
county should vote into the hands of
Mr.. HARsHMAN. There is q change
demanded-the Democracy are just
ly entitled TO a representative in the
Board-and here is the man for the
place. A farmer of sterling honesty
and correct business habits-he is
fully competent to discharge the du-
ties of Commissioner and look after
the interests of the taxpayers of the
county, who, through unnecessary
and uncalled for expenditure of the
public funds, have had their taxes
doubled and in many instances treb-
led. There should be a Democrat ON
the Board to check recklessness, and
MI. Harshman is the man.
HENRY G. HILL,
the nominee for Infirmary Director,

The EASTERN WAR.-Tbe war be-
tween Russia and Turkey progresses
slowly So far but little fighting has
been done, and that little was done in
Asia, where it is not likely that very
much heavy fighting will be done at
any time. The real seat of the war
must be in Europe, along the Danube.
Having crossed the Pruth, into Rouma-
mia the Russians appear to be in no
hurry to advance toward the Turkish
lines. The latter content themselves
with remaining on their own side Of the
Danube, and waiting for the Russians
to begin the attack. In this they will.
in all probability, be accommodated
just SO soon as the Russian gets his
forces what and where be wants them.
In what be has done he has manifested
a military skill which betokens rough
times ahead for the Turks. So far all
the advantages ofstragetic points gained
is with the Russian. and he can now af
ford to wait a while until be can amass
an army as large as he wishes for the
invasion of Turkey The Turks have
many strong fOrtresses along the Danube
and all their posts arc well fortified
These, it will give the Russians some
trouble to capture, and the Gear evil

capture until he is reasonably sure of
victory. What his mission" is that

course is not definitely known, but
when he gets his army in trim and be-
gins his march upon the Turks, if the
rest Of the European powers will stand
off and let him alone, he viii give the
Moslems the severest thrashing that
they have ever had in the history of
