THE REGISTRATION.
GREAT ACTIVITY ON BOTH SIDES, BUT
NO SERIOUS DISTURBANCES.
The pay Rainy and Dismal. but the Demo
cratic Vote Increased >otwithstsnd-
ing-racts and incidents.

Rain and registration.
The former interfercd very much with
The latter.
How many voters stayed at home rather
than venture forth into tho chill air
and continuous showers will never be
known; but il IL to be hoped and it may be
well believed that the Democrats did not
suffer any more than the Republicans. The
numerous vehicles at the command of our
people, in the country especially, ought to
have been an Offset for the supposed SUI
pereminent zeal of the enemy.
REGISTRARS AT PUBLIC PLACES.
IL was the one day Of public registration
APPOINTED bv law for the correction OF the
lists; the giving and recording OF trans
fers, and the adding Of new names.
Whatever may have been thedelnquency
OF older persons IL may be doubted II many
of the young menwho are 70 cast Their hrst
ballots on the 9Th failed TO enroll their
names Yesterday The zeal md patriotism
Of the man VINO Is equippng hlmseu 10
vote for the first time is proof against RAM
cold, and mud.
REFoRyHASDED.
Here in Richmond. certainly, the Dcmo-
Gratis had wisely takon time 10y the torelock
and during the month past had sought the
registrars al the latters' places ofresidencc
and in accordance with the provisions OF
law. had registered many new voters ana
srtton transfers for old ones.
Thus It was We had vast deal OF worK
done before the public day OF re2lstra-
Misunderstanding The Republicans how
ever. availed themselves Of this privilege
10 no great extout. and the consequence IS
they had most Of their registration busi-
ness to do yesterday. So II came about
that in many precincts they were BUSTING
and hurryiug. while the Democrats were
proceeding with a dignihCd Leisure, war
Ientod hv The fact that very little of Their
work was left undono. Many who sup
posed the Republicans were dong every
fhjDg and the Democrats nothing lost
sight or were ignorant OF the immense
amount Of boforohanded labor done by the
CITY and club-l cGdQuarters' men. Nodou0t
some Democrats are yet unregistered, Dut
we very fairly claim that tins rcgreta9le
thing is Offset 10y like Shortcomings on the
other side.
