that the committee oh election, in the
Senate, have been unable to agree upon
ny amendments to the Registry Law,
while the ty of the committee

of the Bulletin says: correspond =
he » from Nevada county—
is pega \didate for Superintendent of the San Franciseo Mint. Conness
has his heart.set upon this appointment,
and will probably sacrifice anything
else to secure it. I think he will trade
off several other appointments with one
or both of the Democratic Representatives, in order to put Dawley—inthe}

' months,
Will report in favor of the repeal of the
present law. That the law should be
modified is generally conceded, but the
_ best men of all parties believe that
sdme system of registry should be adopt~
ed.-Sovernor Haight, in the last can, vases d€clared that he favored a registry
~ Jaw;and it is well known that the majority of the Union men are advocates
of such a law. It is theretore not strict~~ Tye party measure, That such a system is calculated to prevent fraud in
elections cannot be doubted. _ Its work““ings in the last two elections demon_ strated that it promoted order and instead of delaying, facilitated yoting.—
There were no delays from challenges
98 for other reasons, the enrollment up,on the poll list being the evidence of
. the right to vote. No new system when
first indugurated ever worked better.—
_. ‘Phe greatest inconvenience was to the
‘eitizen who was compelled to get his
‘name.upon tlie Great Register. That
is now past as nearly all voters are en=. pefted Tt our: Legislature cannot sug-gest-any improvements the present law
should stand. But we think that some
of School Trustees which takes place in
June, should be exempted. from the operations of the law, exvept so far as to
‘require those offering to vote: to make
oo oath, if challenged, that they are residents of the District. and enrolled upon
‘the Great Register of the county. The
same should be the case in all special
school elections. An amendment should
be made authorizing Town Trustees of
incorporated towns te appoint enrolling
_officers to make out poll lists and con-.
been pursued, but the Registry Law
-. Makes no provision for such cases. The
Board of Supervisors now have only
power to appoint election officers. In
-_guch-towns. as Nevada and Grass -Val-ley, where the precinct lines are established by the’ Supervisors andthe cor:
poration boundaries are not the same,
such an amendment is necessary. If
the Senate Committee cannot agree .
_ upon. such necessary amendments a
new committee should be appointed.—
Let the defects of the law be corrected,
but let us retain the Registry system.
_ CONGRESSMEN —The 7imes says that .
Congressmen will probably be nominated by the delegates who are sent to the
State Convention which meets on the
8ist. We do not think this is good
policy. Let the nomination of Congressmen go until the State Convention
meets. to select electors, which will
probably be in August or September.—
Ashort and vigorous canvass is better
than a long one, and candidates should
not be kept in the field for six or eight

confirmation if he shall see fit to do so’;
but then he tan’t. get Conness’ aid to
secure any point which he (Cole) desires:
There is great danger that indifferent
men will obtain the Federal appointments, because of the probability that

PRE-EMPTIONS.—Persons who preempted claims on odd sections, and
have resided continuously upon their
rauches since 1862, are entitled to purchase at Government rates.. The Grass
established ranches can be 80 purchased
as nearly all of them have changed
hands, and must therefore be bought of
the railroad company.

Corrected returns of the New Hampshire election, telegraphed from Concord, says the Union, show ‘that the
majority for Harriman, the Republican
candidate for Governor, is 2,530. The
House stands—Republicans, 192, Democrats, 138. Harriman’s majority in
1867 was 3,146—House 202 Republicans
to 128 Democrats. The falling off
from the Republican side since 1867 is
616 votes for Governor and 10 Reprosentatives,
