rup DI1rv OF THE HOUR.

Through indifference quite number
of our citizens have neglected to "regis-
ter and hence must lose their votes at
the coming election. 1t will be found
that the larger proportion of these neg
lcctcrs are among our more Intelligent
citizens. and of sufficient number TO
change the results Many have not
studied the issues involved while others
take only a superficial view, but when
carefully thought out there are Interests
that stretch out through the coming year
that involve the peace and prosperity OF
this city; the finishing up the matured
or immatured plans of the past year, that
touch the sensitive place OF these neg
lecters in the way of taxation Men are
influenced too largely by selfish motives
and it will be found that many of the
arguments for pet candidates have as
their basis some personal scheme hat
| reaches into the treasury. The most
sanguine of our thinkers know that the
present appropriations Will not finish the
work begun, while questions that must
be settled by the arbIier Of law have al
ready presented themselves. What has
! been done whether wisely or unwisely,
was much easier of doing than that
which is yet 10 do II there is any pur-
ga,ory in tue future doing, the men
they have already done should be made
TO pass through the fire, and the furnaces
heated hotter than ever before, if they
do not do better in their future doing
Some of them have sme'led purgatorial
fire afar off, and are thrusling innocents
out into tire canvass, while they lay ou
of sight and wait for the coming storm
Now, in face of the facts of the present
our neglecters on the score of registering
should not feel they can do nothing. Or
the contrary, every intelligent either
should study the issues and the men OF
fered for the future conduct of our affairs
and go to the polls and help, by thei
presence and arguments, to put reliabl
: men into the offices. A little lnteres
now, worked up to something of enthu
siAsm, may defeat the schemes OF In
triclIsters and put the right men in tn
right places. If it should result othel
e wise, let no neglecter squeal, but gri

And now it is intimated that the prin-
cipal reason why radical measures can
not be taken against Chinatown, that
portion of San Francisco where the
heather Chinee most do congregate, is
that there is no place to put the offenders
against the health laws, even if they
should be arrested, as the prisons are al
ready filled to repletion with Caucas-
ians. We have no doubt that Dennis
Kearney would cheerfully give place
and sacrifice himself to the demands OF
the hour, but as that would only provide
for one Celestial, it has been deemed
prudent to fight shy of invidious distinc
lions and give the distinguished agitatol
of the Sand Lots the full benefit of his
coveted martyrdom.

General Hancock's Civil Opinions.

We have watched our Democratic
exchanges and carefully searched for
the principles that General Hancock
carries in bis saddle valise. The re.
suit of our search can be summed up
as follows:
On the subject Of the currency, he
is a magnificent looking fellow.
On the subject of tariff he is a
splendid soldier.
On the subject Of free trade he
wears brilliant uniform.
On the subject of river and harbor
improvements he makes a grand ap.
pearance on horseback.
On States rights he appears well in
his epaulets and brass buttons.
On civil service refurm he has fine
military bearing.
On the So called reform in the ad-
ministration Of the government he is a
modern Murat.
On the Indian question he is the
finest looking Indian fighter tht
country ever produced, notwithstand
ing that for every Indian he killed
cost the government $4,500,000.
On the Southern question he behaved
/ like gallant soldier, and made him
self popular with every Ku Klux

On he subject of our foreign rela
tions he wears a splendid mustache.
On the school question he is a hand
