upon his demand therefor. This question came
up in the case OF Major ChaS E. Mallam, formerly
mayor of Fredericksburg and afterwards citizen
of Alexandra, from which he removed in 1871 to
take government Office in washington. Major NJ.
applied to Register BrawDer to be registered, and
was refused registration and the case was carried
by appeal before Judge Chiffon, who heard it at
his residence, at II O'Clock this morning. Judge
c. held that as Major Mallam had gone to WASH

having ACQUIRED right OF franchise nowhere else
he was entitled to register and vote in Alexandria
and Col Brawner was directed to enter his name
as voter of the third ward. This decision covers
other cases. but the registration for this year
is closed.
