proposed amendments, excepting Gel tain
counties from its operation. which were
all rejected, excepting one offered by Mr..
Yellott, changing the date at which tie

the final and decisive vote was TAKEN
After some time spent in Committee of

nerts of the Bill had carefully counted
noses, the Committee rose, and the
Speaker resumed the chair. Mr.. Nandi-
yer reported the Bill as under considcra-
ton, when Mr.. Higgins, of Baltimore,
demanded the previous question, when
the House decided that the main question
should be put. The vote being taken,

DELINQUENT REGISTERS.

Notwithstanding the fact, that the law
requires the Registers of Voters to make
return of their books within fire days
after their last legal sitting (Oct. ~ yet
up to Wednesday morning, October 18th,
only two Registers out of nine in Cecil
county lad complied with the law, which
provides penalty of not less than $500
or not more than 5000 for the violation
of any of the provisions Of the rcgistra-
ton laws. We are loath to mako public
the oft-repeated charges of unfairness
brought against several of them. They
exact OF Republicans every observance of
law, while towards their own party CO.
workers they are liberal interpreters of
legal provisions. At six O'Clock 90 Octo-
her 18th, at least one Registers book (not
the 5rd) closed with list that had in
creased fire by Wednesday morning. The
law is a burden and sm imposition upon
the people of tine counties. IL ,aay be
necessary for Baltimore City, but no
where else in the State, With the oppor-
tunity to manipulate the registry lists,
no fair election can be had. In Cecil
county we do not believe there is Regis

are sorry their city brethren are not
equally honest.

RELIABLE reports come from the 9th

THE STATES ATTORNEY SHIP.

As indicative of the drift of public opin-
ion as to the necessity of securing capa-
bic officer as public prosecutor, we clip
the following from the Rising Sun Jour-
nal:
"Public sentiment here is rapidly
crystaliZing in favor of selecting the
States Attorney at least, without regard
to party affiliations. 1t is agreed that
the office is not a political one, that the
person elected will have no party favors
to dispense and no political principles are
involved. All that the people are inter
estcd i'll it is said is to have the office fill
ed by lawyer of experience, of honor, of
competence and of recognized fitness.
These views are shared very generally by
Democrats and Republicans alike. 1t is
upon these grounds that the friends of
r. c. Thackery, Esq, predict and conf
IDENTIFY expect his election. They say the
duties of the office are too responsible:
the criminal business of the county too
important to be entrusted to uncXpcr-
fenced hands. Mr.. Thackery is unques-
tionably the brightest young lawyer Of
the Elkton bar, experienced, competent,
Il fine speaker and beyond doubt would
fill the office of States Attorney with
honor to himself and credit to the coun-
ty -
