The Registration.

The first day of the registration passed
off very quietly, in fact there was moth
ing doing about the rooms in any ward,
and the registrars had an exceedingly
dull day of it. The same indifference
that is being shown in the city in regard
TO registration is being manifested
throughout the State, and from present
appearances the vote at the next election
will be one of the smallest polled in the
past fifty years. Some misunderstood
ING still exists in the minds Ofmany who
are entitled to vote, they thinking that
they will have to pay for the privilege.
A DOLL tax will be levied on every male
over the age of twenty-one years, but II
yill be levied whether he chooses to
exercise his right of franchise or not,
and he does not escape the payment OF
IL by not registering. After this year
the conditions required Of an applicant
for registration will be much more exact
ing than at present, he being obliged TO
to make application in his own hand
writing, to answer any questions put 10
him, and to show a receipt for taxes
paid during the past three years. Inc
present registration will close its books
ut nine o'clock on Friday night.
