Pending Political Ellis.
The Legislature Is forging ahead now
IN brisk kind OF a manner with the
political bills which have been intro
duced. The Five Commissioner act, be
Il what 1t may, is out Of the way, and
Following iScomes State registration
law, a second city registration law,
repeal OF the assessment laws Of 1873,
a general Australian ballot Law. and q
police commissionbillf for Wilmington.
These are enough to keep the political
mind in political stew for tho next
few days, or until the Legislature adj
1purns. Ali these bills may he good
OF bad just as they are made by those
In charge and by members of tho Le-
glslature who follow the bidding OF
political bosses.
Fortunately, the Five Commissioner
act IL less Objectionable than might
have becu expected, considering the
manner in which II started of and was
put through the lower House, for
whio h the people have reason TO be
profoundly grateful. 1t could have
been very much improved, in an eco
noinieal sense, without impairing its
efficiency as a reformatory measure,
but our solons at Dover did not see
proper to SO improve it, and the only
thing now left for us TO do is to ac-
cept it In good faith, be thankful that
Il Is no worse, ard hopc for improve
ment In the future. """
Tho State registration bill now
pending can be made more OF politi-
cal shiboleth than the Five Commits
sioner law. As Senator Pilling clear
W showed in Tuesdays debate, it is
slearly in contraYention with the State
Constitution, which defines the rights
Of voters. Furthermore it is a huge
political machine that can DO used
with deadly political effect by the Gov
srnor II he seee proper TO do so. 1t
puts into the Governors hands, in true
South Carolina and Mississippi style,
the appointment of seventy regis
rars, one for every election district in
The State. They may be all Democrats,
aud Democrats Of the most nnserup-
nlous character il he sees proper to
tppoint them from that class, There
is nothing in the hill, SO far as IL has
been made known, that requires the
registrars to be appointed, to be in
harmony with the political sentiment
Of the district.
Tho election Judges as we under
stand 1t are TO be assistant registrars
and they will always insure two
Democrats and one Republican in
every district In the State. Aud this is
what is called by our Democratic
friends non-partisan legislation. Tho
registration hill for the city has n
variation without a difference. A
registration committee composed of
Two Democrats and one Republican Is
30 be appointed by the Governor and
this board in turn can appoint two
Democrats and one Republican rs
registrars in every one of tho twenty
seven districts of the city, although
seventeen OF them gave Republican
maiorities at the last election. Kepub-
dcans can only hope for fair registra-
ton, they have no reason To expect it.
The Wolcott ballot bill presents q
fair exterior, in the face of SO much
partisan bias, but can we expect It u
