| REGISTRATION IN NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, Oct. 23.-Acting under Or
ders OF Governor Wilt, after legal advice,
the state supervisors Of registration have de-
cided to keep open the registration office in
this city uatil October the 30th. The re-
pubicans contend that the registration
books should, according to law, be closed
ten days previous 10 the election. To-day
CVani was arrested on complaint of su,
pervisor Pearson and taken before Commits
sloner Lane, charged with Illegally register
ing voters. The case is set for hearing on
Tuesday. The republicans claim that as
registration now stands their candidates for
congress in the first and second district
would certainly be elected.
The republican campaign committee
adopted the following:
Whereas, Asa continulnc of registration
in the parish of Orleans beyond the time
fixed by law is a fragrant violation of law, is
for political ends and purposes under orders
of the democratic committee in direct con-
4 ct with tue opinion of the United States
district attorney; therefore be it
Resolved, That atlidavits be made against
every person who illegally registers after this
date, and against the supervisor or clerk reg
istering any person illegally, with view to
ar o.. roaecutiOn under the law of the
United States.
