on November 9Th
The clubs and precinct committees are
rapidly getting under way. They have a
great deal Of work cut out and good part
commenced.
The pressing duty now Is TO get the
voters who need It transferred or regis
tered. They must have their names on
the books correctly, else on the day Of

WARWICK TO WIN.
Major Warwick is making splendid
canvass in the Chesterfield district, and he
has the efficient aid OF Messrs. w. W. Ba-
ker and Joseph Hobson-thc Democratic
candidates for the House, and active and
popular men they are.
The Democrats expect to win by bring
| ing out their reserve vote. Maddox. how
ever, seems to be quite rs strong a. Flan-
nagan. There IS, indeed, no telling but
! that Malone before eection-day may with
draw Flanagan. and make all his people
vote for Maddox. That would be no
stranger than the fact that Flanagan is
now the nominee Of the party" after the
abuse he has given Cameron and Malone
Nibuil tlI past lNtlNt LiOlllU~.
! Our folks, however, are fighting their
own fight, and doing it well.
HENMCO's HOPES.
IIcnrcO j. 10 vote for no senator tins
year. The contest for the House. how
ever, is warm. Our Mr.. w. II. Braucr is
a sensible, hard-working, and popular
mana butcher. well acquainted in the
county, and with no such Objectionable
record rs Mr.. VI. W. Lakewood. his op-
pOnent He will try to bring out the en-
tire white vote; which done he is elected.
To that end Mr.. Brauer needs the enthu-
siastic cooperation Of every Democratic
wel-wiSher in his county.
HANOVER AND CAROLINE.
There never was such an animated con-
test in Hanover and Caroline as is now
going on in those counties. The Demo-
crats have a willy and untring enemy, and
almost unlimited mOney-bags to fight; but
the Democrats will win.
That i the firm belief Of the canyaSsers
and leaders and wel-informed people OF
the district, and il is the conviction OF
Our people here in Richmond.
Why should not Wickhlm be elected
The district is always Democratic. and he
will get all the Democratic voters and seye-
raj hundred negroes.

Organized and hopeful Of clectiug their

and Mr.. John :. Wise will meet at the
Courthouse in Joint discussion.
Tomorrow is also Chesterfield court, and
George ID. Wise. Il. Taylor Scott. and
Henry \. Atkinson, and all the candidates.
will be there TO address the people.
NEEDN'T BE PRESENTED IL PERSON.
According to a decision rendered by
Judge George l.. Christian, and the prac-
tice that has long prevailed here. a transfer
need not be presented TO the registrar (on
the day OF registratiOn) in person. A case
arose at one Of the Jefferson Ward pre-
clnctS in 1852. A wcl-knOwn gentleman
presented a certificate OF registration" "
duly signed, and with full descriptive list
OF the voter, John Hume, written out on
the back. The registrar declined 10 re-
ccive and enter the transfer upon the
ground that Hume should appear in per-
son and bring the " certificate Of regi>tra-
ton" (transfer) with him. An appeal was
taken. and Judge Christian made the fol-
lowing endorsement on the back Of the
transfer:
think this certificate sufficient evidence
under the law TO warrant the registration
of the voter at the precinct TO which he
has removed. GEORGE l.. CHRISTIAN.

DrTIES or REGISTRARC

time previous to the regular days Of regis

registered, in this city or elsewhere. and
have moved away from theirfOrmcr voting

done here by the voter on the regular day
Of registration, which is ten days before

two thousand inhabitants. transfers must
be entered at GiD time when the voter ap-
plies, even on the day OF election, when
either Of the Judges Of election may act in
