Mr.. TUCKER At TIE ARNORY.
The splendid discussion OF the issues Of
the campaign by MIR. Holmes Conrad at

Richmond Democrats appetite for more
good speaking. They will be gratified on

REGISTRATION AND ELECTION LAWS.
The following are further rulings by
Judge French. OF the Hastings Court OF the
cltv OF Manchester. in response to questions
in respect to the registration and election
laws:
/. There is no authority in the Constitu-
ton for the enactment OF registration laws.
.. But, il there be no constitutional OBJ
iections to its provisions, or to any OF them.
il is as absolute and uncOntrOlld5le as any
law flowing directly from the Sovereign
Power. That is to say, II there be no pro-
vision in the registration laws riOIdtire OF
the letter or spirit OF the Constitution, in
part or whole-although there may be no
express authority in that instrument for
the enactment OF such laws. have been
unable TO find anything in any OF The regis
tration acts which can be strained into
antagonism with the letter or spirit OF the
Constitution. Therefore my response to
the Iirst inquiry is that the registration
laws are not unconstitutional, and they
ought to be obeyed.l
3. The registration laws are mere police
regulations for the protection OF the purity
of elections, which come clearly within the
acknowledged powers OF legislation" :"
Whatever is not forbidden by the Consti-
tuition Of the United States or by the Con-
stitution Of Virginia, expressly or by im-
pication. the Legislature may do in the
way of legislaiion-a .fortiori II done to
give effect to constitutional proyisions.]

duties OF Judges OF election will be deter
