"A bill has been introduced
by Judge Clagett amending the
election law by allowing declara-
! tons of intended citizenship tt
be made before Justices of the
Peace as we'll as before the Clerk
of the Circuit Court. The meas.
ure is intended as a convenience
to the people. About 200 appli.
cations are made each year ano
it is said that many more WOULD
be made except for the great
inconvenience in doing so.
There is a strong sentiment in
the county particularly in the
upper section, for this change in
the law; and it seems that Judge
Clagett's bill is proper and popu-
ar, and should be passed.
Due precaution is given by re-
curing a record of the declara-
ton before thesJ ustice of the
Peace to be filed in the Clerk
office, while the applicant can
register on the copy he gets
from the JUST &c.
Married.
