TO-DAY'S REGISTRATION.

To-day is the second day for tho registration of
the voters OF the city. Last Tuesday 49, 20S
votes were registered in the twenty-four Assembly
districts; but as about twentyeight election dis
tricts thore really registration on account Of
thero being no inspectors thanks to the Police
Board mudde it is pretty certain that these figures
are far below the mark that the registration would
have reached had every election district been prop
ory attended to.
On the second day for the registration in 1875,
81 632 votes were Registered; in 1876, GOTTA; In
1877 $685. in 1875 44927. Az 1876 was the year of
the Presidential election the largo number OF votes
second day for registration of that
year can be easily accounted for. On the CORE.
spending day in 1874 when Tilden ran for Cover
nor--and when of course there was no Presidential
excitement draw out all the laggards. the State
and city issues alone being the attraction-3s159
votes registered.
In order therefore. to equal the registration for
the corresponding day in 1876 the votes registered
to-day must bo 2l 466 greater than the votes regis
tered last Tuesday; to equal that OF 1877 It must
exceed last Tuesdays by 1885 votes; aud to equal
the votes registered the second day in last year
must be 219 votes in Of the votes regis
tered on Tuesday.

A CANVASS OF THE BURIAL DIsTRICTs-THE
CURRENT SETTING KELLY-wARD-No DIsAF-
FICTION AMONG THE REPUBLICAN FARMERS.
GENEVA. Oct. IL. 1879.
An impartial canvass of the rural districts OF the
State furnishes more convincing evidence than
is supplied by the rebelous cities of the utter de-
moraizaton of the democratic party and of the des
porato condition OF Governor Robinson's prospects.
The only manner in which the large and admitted
detection In the Robinson vote in New York. Brook
lyn. Albany, Troy Syracuse, Oswego. Rochester and
Buffalo could be compensated for would be by a
heavy transfer Of republicans from Cornell to the
democratic candidate in the country towns. smaller
cities and villages of the State. The groundwork
of the hopes Of the Tiden-Tobinson party has been
an alleged popular enthusiasm in favor of Governor
Robinson an upright and economical executive,
whose vetoes have touched the popular heart by
of their blunt honesty. and we have been led
to expect an uprising OF the farming population in
support OF that candidate tnat would overcome all
the efforts Of his enemies to compass his defeat.
But the fact is that far from there being any evil
dcnce of such movement In the rural DISTRICTS the
dissatisfaction with the Syracuse nomination, tho
desire to overthrow Mr.. Tilden now and for
ever and the belief that present trouble in the
democratic party is due to his selfish intrigues.
spread through all the towns in the State and will
make steady drainage from the democratic strength
in nearly every election district. Here and there
republican may be found who for some reason or
another will cast q vote for Governor Robinson, but
nowhere is there any indication of an important
movement Of republicans toward tho Syracuse nom
inec. Some dissatisfied democrats in the country
towns will remain away from the polls; others will
vote for Cornell others for Kelly and others again
for Lewis IL he shonld remain in the hod. 1t is un-
questonably true that there is very little enthu-
siasm for their own candidate among the
republicans, and that considerable apathy has
prevailed in many localities. both among the
republican leaders and the republican masses. But
they nevertheless appreciate the Importance of
ryng tho State In view Of next years Presidential

Convention two papers were found for the twenty

The two Seneca delegates who wanted Mr.. Mercer
state Treasurer made affidavit that David Robin

nomination OF State Treasurer for AIR. Mercer IL
they would sign the paper voting for Warden
Moses as member OF tho State Committee.
They did so ON this pledge. When tho
baoting for State Treasurer took place Mr.. Mercer
was not nominated. Thereupon. and before the re-
turns had been opened by the State Convention, they
withdrew their from the paper on which they
voted for Moses the State Committee, and signed
another paper voting for Mr. Strain and electing him
bv nine votes against To all this the two Seneca
delegates made aiiidavit. But the papers were re-

THOUGHTS ON THE BEAUTIES OF

BY URANIA.

forms of beauty, ennobles our intel

our sentiment and elevates our life.
Nature is Gods ideal beauty. The
sun, moon and stars the wales,
meadows and hill sides /; the noun
tains, the rilis, brooks, rivers, lakes,
seas, oceans ; these supply to every
sense to all spiritual avenues, the
loving presence of beauty. he who
can translate the song OF fountain.
the humming of bee, the voice oil
bird, or the talk of the rustIing
forest leaves; he who can converse
with every ripple OF rilI, as it looks
up the gently slipping banks among
the flowers that grow there ; he who
in the softly silent night, can read
the unlettercd page unfolded in the
heavens and music hear, as it on
each bright star a syren sal, hymns
ing from harps, until the circumam-
bient air is filled with instant har-
monies he who can realize the
poets brightest dream
(Which is not all DREAM
he it is, whose soul is the home of
beauty, the resting place of love, the
repose of religion, and the fairest
type of heaven. True poetry is the
child of nature, and the true poets
spirit, is natures self. Keats--hap-
ply and loving Keats, pre- .eminently
the poet of flowers, could

loveliest forms, even to the last. -.

Shelley, was only less than Keats in
his command OF the serene inspira-
ton of nature. We love tho sea.
because of its treasures we love it
for the groves of coral which wave
DER its pavement, and for the halls
of amber which glow in its depths.
We love it for its myriad gems,
which make those depths brilliant,
where no suns light comes and for
those myriad forms of life, which
make enduring melody, where no
Earring earthly strain can mingle.
We love it for its foe ers--
Spreading their leaves of blue
Which never are wet with the falling dew. "
We love it cen for its weeds, bows
ing their tall heads like mourners
over the forms of sons and brothers,
who go down from the wreck to
sleep in it's caverns. Nature is full
of sights of richest beauty, aud
sounds of rarest music.

Through this beautiful world Of ours.
And dear as smile on an old friends face,
Is the smile Of the bright, bright flowers. -
