A SPECIAL FEATURE.

The coming session of the Legislature
will excite more general interest and
curiosity than any that has been held
for many years. In anticipation, there.
fore, of the demand for full report OF
its proceedings, the REGISTER has Sc
cured the services of trained and
skillful newspaper man of many years
experience who will furnish this paper
weekly letter giving a comprehensive
and accurate report Of the legislative
proceedings. These letters will be
written from the standpoint of a re-
porter and will therefore be entirely
fair and unbiased. They will report
things exactly as they are and will not
distort anything or conceal anything.
In addition to these letters we hope to
have an occasional communication
also from our representative, Mr.. Pear
son, which will be of very great inter-
est. The letters from our regular paid
correspondent and from Mr.. Pearson,
taken together, will add a feature to
the REGISTER which will make it of
special interest and value during the
next three months.

THE REGISTER regrets exceedingly
that the County Assembly, F. NJ. B.
A, felt called upon to denounce Sena-
tor.Ingalls as a stool of the monopo-
lies" and to urge ouN Representative
to vote against him. In the first place
thesscharge made against Mr.. Ingalls, is
not true, as every one who is informed
OH his record and wants to be fair will
admit. Judge PETER, who led the
fight against him, freely confesses that
his record on the silver question, on
the pension question and on the trust
question, is unimpeachable, and bases
his opposition to him solely OF the
ground that he does not favor his
(Pefer's) ."way out" fantastic and
chimerical scheme which no states
man of any repute has yet endorsed.
But We regret this action of the AS
sembly mainly because it tends to per-
petuate the political strife which has
already inflicted so much injury on the
Order. OF course the resolution will
in no way affect Mr.. Pearson's vote.
He was nominated ON a platform
which endorsed ingalls, and demand
ed his return to'the Senate. He de-
clared on the stump his intention of
voting for Ingalls, if elected. He was
elected by large plurality of voters
who knew what they We're doing. He
received his instructions at the polls
and he will not disregard them. The
resolution would better never have
been passed.
