FIRST REGISTRATION NULL
Recording Of Voters on Primary Bay De-
oidsd Invalid BY Judge TrOuP
ALL THEN REGISTERED MUST DO so AGAIN
Court Holds Title of New Law
Detective and that section
of Ola statute IL Not
Repealed.

Judge Troup has declared null and void
that section OF the Dodge primary law
which sought to make primary day the
first day for registration, Under this deci-
sion every person who registered Septem-
Der 10 must register again in order to
vote November I.
The suit which called out this decision
was brought through Jefferis & Howell.
The election officers in the First precinct
OF the Sixth ward, James A. Daley, F. II.
Mccormick and G. r. Rathbun. were named
as respondents. They were represented by
Byron G. Burbank.
Mr.. Howell presented TO the court two
points on which he based his argument
that the law was unconstitutional as TO
fixing the first day of registration, First
that the title did not embrace the proposed
change in the old registration law and was
not therefore, comprehensive enough to
comply with the constitutional provision.
Second. that the Dodge primary law does
not, either directly or by implication, re-
peal the section OF the old law providing
for registration OF voters.
Mr. Burbank argued that the law was
plain enough In It's intent and should be
allowed TO stand. He dwelt also on the
expediency of the provision which con-
stituted the primary day as the first day
for registration.
Judge Troup took the case under ad-
visement until 2 o'clock, at which time he
gave an oral decision multiplying the law.
The republican county committee already
has taken steps to notify every individual
republican who registered and voted Sep
TENDER 10 that he must register anew in
order to protect his right to vote on No
vember Z. This work of notification is no
small task, as there are more than 5000
notices to be sent out

for. Persons in Omaha and elsewhere An
Nebraska who have money on hand would
see an opportunity TO make money by en-
gaging in the raising OF cattle. the grass
now going to waste would be turned into
beef. the idle money lying in the banks
would be freely furnished to stock the
western prairies of Nebraska, the visit and
dread of a visit from a fence inspector
would pass into history and every one in
terested would be better satisfied This
plan appears the most practical for solv-
| ing the problem OF any proposed
There is no doubt that this plan would
| put an end TO the big concerns in Ne
/ braska, but It would multiply many fold
! the number OF small stockmen, which
! would be far better for the state. Dozens
| OF men in Omaha would buy these lands
( in tracts of say four sections each and put
all the stock on the land that It would
/ properly care for. This plan would not
! play into the hands OF the big concerns
and result in the continuation OF large
| pastures, for the reason that the cattle
industry is a profitable industry, and the
/ owners OF four-secton tracts could make
much more money Dy using the land for
their own stock or by taking stock on
| the shares or to care for by the season
| than the big concerns would pay them
for its use. The practical way to raise cat
/ tie In Nebraska is to raise the stun TO
s-year-olds in the grazing districts and
ship II into the corn districts to be fat
tened for market. Farmers in the corn
belt under law such as is proposed above
could then have stock Of their own to feed
their grain to. and in this way be as much
! intarested In this mart Of the state as tho
eastern part Of Nebraska
Plan in, Operation.
For example. a farmer in the eastern
part of Nebraska who owns $50 acres or
more OF good farm land is out of debt and
has money in the bank-and there are lots
OF them who have money In the bank
could probably enter the market to buy
four sections Of this grazing land TO use
to raise cattle 70 feed on his farm for
market. His hired hand. who usually has
but little money, could also buy a four
section tract adjoining the tract OF his EN-
ployer. and engage 70 care for the stock OF
his employer on the grasing ranch. use his
wages TO buy some stock OF his own OF
take in stock for his employer on the
shares and neither Of them would want &c
lease their lands 20 the big concerns foI
the reason that they could make more
money by using Il themselves. This would
solve the problem as nothing else will, and
the country would have as many actua
settlers as Il is likely 20 have under present
practice. and everybody in the state would
have an opportunity 20 derive some benef
from this immense amount Of grass mat Il
going to waste. Many doctors and lawyer

cluded the reinforcements which
reached him after the action was over.
In his detailed report, made June A.,
1868, Gen. Bowen says that as early
as April 20 he began to believe that
Gen. Grant intended to pass below
Ficksburg and make a lodgment at or
near Grand Gulf. The members of his
staff concurred in this view, and it was
decided that it would take from $4,000
to 10000 men to give battle to the
forces that were liable to be thrown
across. He discovered April 80 that
Grant was landing at Bruinsburg, and
he sent out Brig.-Gen. Green to occupy
the roads leading from Bruinsburg to
Port Gibson. He sent out other por-
tions Of his garrison to hold other roads
and fords by which the Union troops
could advance and threaten his flanks.
The news of the crossing reached
Pemberton at Jackson, and though he
was still feeling apprehensive of Sher-
mans maneuvers he telegraphed to
Stevenson, in command of Vicksburg,
to send 5000 men at once to Bowen's
assistance, and Stevenson started
Tracy's and Baldwin's Brigades late on
the afternoon of April 20. Pemberton

haus renewed his front attack. 1t was
short. deadly fight for a few minutes,
In which Tracy, the brigade command
er, was killed and Green led the COM
mand off on the road to Grand Gulf,
burning the bridge over Bayou Pierre
and taking up strong position on the
hills beyond. Baldwin retreated
through Port Gibson and burned the
bridge behind him. The retreat was
conducted in good order, and it was
dark before Grants troops could reach
Port Gibson.
Though the statements of Bowen's
superiors were to the effect that he had
about $500 men in the battle, he Off
cially stated his strength at $500. OF
these he reports to have lost so killed,
$40 wounded and 387 missing. The
Union commander reports. however,
having taken over 500 prisoners.
Gen. Grant officially reported that he
had lost 129 killed, 710 wounded and
10 missing.
Reports of the fighting were sent to
Pemberton, who had gone to Vicksburg,
and he began working the wires ener-
getically to collect his scattered forces
and make headway against Grant. Gen.
Loring, who was at Meridian, was or
dered to come by rail to Edwardss Sta
ton, with all the troops he could gath
er up; but, making all haste, Loring
was still unable to get within 20 miles
of the battlefield that day and Penn
bertOn sent out from Vicksburg three
brigades under Stevenson. Gen. Grant
pressed forward the next morning as
soon as it was light enough to see the
road, and at once began the construc-
ton of bridges to take the army across
the southern fork of Bayou Pierre.
What is called a raft bridge was soon
laid from timber obtained by tearing
down buildings, stables, fences, etc.

and that Gen. Grant was maneuvering
SO as to pass on the tanks, and riding
over to Grand Gulf, Loring found that
Gen. Bowen had already prepared to
eyacuate that place to save his garri-
son. Loring concurred in Bowen's plan,
which was still further fortified by in
structions received from Gen. Pember-
ton not to allow himself and troops to
be caught in a pocket.
The I'd Mo. was left in Grand Gulf
until night, while the other troops
marched out. That night the I'd Mo.
did it's work well, spiking and bursting
the heavy guns and exploding the three
great magazines, when 1t marched out
and succeeded in gaining Bowen's Di-
vision. Learning Of the abandonment
Of the position, Gen. Grant started
across the country to Grand Gulf and
there met Commodore Porter, who had
taken possession. He had at first in
tended making Grand Gulf base from
which to supply his army with refer
ence to cooperating with Gen. Banks,
but he decided upon a bolder plan, and
on the night Of the Sd left Grand Gulf
for Willow Springs, to move his col
umns forward with the appearance of
attacking Vicksburg, but really having
an objective much bolder and more de-
cisive In character. He stopped at
Hankinson's Ferry long enough to issue

the enemy near Port Gibson on the 1st

war. The capture Of five cannon and
more than 1000 prisoners, the posses

upon the highlands between the Big
Black and Bayou Pierre, from whence
we threaten the whole line of the ene-

liant achievement. The march from
Milliken's Bend to the point opposite
Grand Gulf was made in stormy wealth

ferries had to be constructed; moving
by night as well as by day, with labors
incessant and extraordinary, privations

will rejoice at our success, and history
will record it with immortal honor.

At Port Gibson Gen. Grant learned
through Southern paper of the COM
plete success Of Col. Grierson's raid, and
realized that the raid would be Of the
greatest help to him il he should prop
erly take advantage of the confusion
induced in the rebel army.
Crocker's and Logan's Divisions took
the lead in crossing the South Fork of
Bayou Pierre and reached the North
Fork, eight miles distant, where they
found the bridge still burning. The
fire was put out and the bridge repaired
during the night.

ment. On the day that the President
issued call for volunteers. namely,
April Is, 1851, the First Troop, Phila-
delphia City Cavalry" commanded by
Capt. Thomas c. James, rendered it's
services to Governor Curtin, of Pennsyl-
vania. This troop was originally or
ganized in 1774, and has maintained its
organization from that day to this. Dur
ing the Revolutionary War the troop
took an active part in campaigning, for
time serving as Gen. Washington's s
body-guard in 1775-7.
The commanding officer of the Phila-
delphia Troop was informed that the
Government did not need cavalry, and
their service was declined; but, after
continuous effort made by Gen. Patter-
son and others, a special order was OBJ
tanned from the War Department ac-
into service May 13, 1851, for the Pc
riod of three months.
They left Philadelphia for Carlisle on
the 29th Of May, being ordered to re-
port to Col. George III. Thomas, and
under his command took part in the
where on the 17th Of June they had
skirmish with the enemy. Thence they
went to Martinsburg, Va, where they
had q sharp engagement.
It is somewhat amusing to those who
participated In the movements of cav
airy throughout the war to read Gen.
Patterson's report of this affair, where
in he says: 1.-THE cavalry could not be
employed in pursuit, on account of the
numerous fences and walls crossing the
country At the expiration of their
term of service. Aug. II, 1861, Col.
Thomas said Of the Philadelphia Troop.
that they were deserving "the high
est encomiums for military capacity,
strict attention to duty, promptness and
bravery"
! During their campaign the troop was
mounted and equipped at tts own cost,
The National tribune., 1905-10-12

as 1t had been since it's organization.
They numbered IS souls. Their services
were rendered and accepted several
times during the continuance Of the
rebellion.
With the exception Of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Company of
Boston, this troop is the oldest military
organization in the United States, and
during the rebellion many of its men,
bers earned brilliant regulations in the
army. Capt. James was afterward Col
onel Of the 9Th Pa. Cav, and was killed
in action.
The Philadelphia Troop offered their
services on the 18th day of April, but
were not accepted until nearly one
month had elapsed. In the meantime
Gen. Scott concluded that he had need
for cavalry, and on the 9th of April
sent an order to Maj. George H. Thorn
as. directing him to send the four COM
panies of cavalry then at Carlisle with
all possible dispatch to Washington, en-
joining that the route which would in
sure their arrival at the Capital at the
earliest moment practicable must be
taken, the order concluding with these
words: THE men must be prepared to
encounter opposition and to overcome
it. Following this, another dispatch
was sent to Maj. Thomas, directing him
to send the men from Carlisle to Wash
ington via Gettysburg, avoiding, as far
as possible, the larger towns, Such as
Frederick City, and commanding him
to make all needful arrangements to
render the movement prompt and sue
cessful.
These circumstances are mentioned
because they contrast SO remarkably
with subsequent orders from the War
Office.
District Of Columbia Cavalry.
When the Nations Capital was in
such great peril during the early days
Of April, 1861, volunteers were enrolled
from among Department clerks and
from loyal citizens in the District of
Columbia. Among those volunteers was
a company Of men who did noble serv-
ice, but about whose organization there
has been great difficulty in obtaining
more than the most meager outlines.
They were content to serve their coun-
try in it's hour of greatest danger, to
serve it well, and then retire. Many
Of its members, however, enlisted else

commanded by Capt. Samuel w. Owen,
which was organized in Washington On
the 26th day Of April, 1861, to serve
for three months. From the date OF
their muster-in until they were finally
discharged they performed almost in
cessant scouting and outpost duty, and
to their energy and WatchfuIness the
acts OF many traitors were made known
to headquarters and their treachery
promptly thwarted.
