THE REGIMTRY LAW.
We publish, in this issue, the piece
of infernal deviltry, enacted by the last
legislature, known as the Registry
Law. We hope every active Demo
crat will carefully study its provisions,
and prepare for the work which it im
poses upon the people. Democratic
Assessors and Election Officers,
especially, should acquaint them
selves thoroughly with its character.
It will be observed that this law
levels a severe blow at the rights of ;
naturalized citizens. It makes a broad
distinction between that class and na- j
tive citizens. Every naturalized voter
must produce his papers to the Asses
sor and to the Election hoards, and
the latter are required to stamp upon
them the word "voted," with the date j
at which the vote was given. The
only exception is where such citizens
have been voters in the district in
which they offer to vote, during five
consecutive years. In such case the J
Assessor will put their names upon
his list without requiring the exhibi
tion of their papers. They must, how
ever exhibit their papors to the elec
tion hoard, unless they have been ten
consecutive years voters in thedistriet.
It is, therefore, highly important that
naturalized citizens who have lost
their papers, at once take steps to have
them renewed, otherwise they will
lose the rights of American citizens. I
Let this matter lie looked after by our
alien born friends, and we would sug
gest that the active Democrats in each
district make it their business to see I
that naturalized citizens are informed
concerning this law and that they ob- j
tain the necessary papers. Meanwhile,
if there is a foreign-born citizen who j
is willing to swallow the Registry dose
prescribed for him by the radical party,
let him remain disfranchised, as he
deserves to be.
This radical scheme to disfranchise
and hamper the people in the exercise
of the right of suffrage, will cost Bed
ford county at least $2,000 and perhaps
$3,000.
It will not prevent frauds, for the
same thing has been tried in other
states and has proved a complete fail
ure. It is in force in New York, and j
yet the radicals themselves claim that
i mmense frauds are committed at the
elections in that state. Besides it is
unconstitutional. It will not be
brought before the Supreme Court,
this year, because two of the Judges,
Read and Agnew, controlled by parti
zan influences, last year placed them
selves on record in its favor, and the
third one, Williams, will be the radi
cal nominee for re-election this fall.
With a court thus constituted, what
hope would there be for a just and im
partial decision? The only remedy
that remains, is fur the people to or
ganize for the election of a Governor
and Legislature which will undo this
wicked work. Shall it be done?
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
We are glad to notice that the Dem
ocratic press speaks in no uncertain
tone in regard to the fraud which the
radicals are now engaged in perpetra
ting. The right of the people to con
trol the elective franchise, a right re
served to them at the formation of the
government, is about to be taken from
them without their consent. TheXVth
Amendment is to be fraudulently adop
ted, through the compulsion of Vir
ginia, Texas and Mississippi, at the
point of the bayonet, and without sub
mitting it to a popular vote in any of
the Northern States. Thus /raud and
force are employed by the radicals to
accomplish their infamous plans. Shall
we submit to the consummation of this
outrage upon civil liberty and popular
rights? Shall wesubmitaudacknowl
edge ourselves the willing vassals of
the corrupt oligarchy which now rules
this country? for one, wc say, NO,
NEVER! The battle for the restora
tion of the government of our fathers,
must come sooner or later. It might
as well begin,now. Let the Democrat
ic party but say, with one voice, (his
wicked thing shall not be done, and it
will not bo done. In this connection
we commend the following from the
Titusville A?ar, as having "the ring of
the true metal ":
''The adoption of this XVth Amend
ment would IKJ a long stride towards
consolidation, for it would strip from
the several States the right to control
the question of suffrage within their
respective borders, a question over
which they should most certainly have
control for the safety and honor of the
Slate. The Republicans of Rhode is
land take this view of it, and we don't
believe that thedisciplineof party will
be sufficiently strong to force them in
to the adoption of the Amendment, A
large majority of the people of three
fourths of the States and perhaps more,
would repudiate the whole scheme, if
they could in any way get at the ques
tion. The leading radicals wish to
hurry it through before the people can
have an opportunity to act. But we
honestly believe that if the States are
to be broken down and destroyed by
Lhat child of their own creation-the
general government—it must IK? effec
ted l>y the bloodiest revolution of
which We have any record in the his
tory of the world. This may be seout
<dat as mere talk. Rut we do not be
lieve thespirit of liberty is entirely ex
tinguished in this boasted land of free
dom yet. We believe there is enough
of it* left in the people to meet this
thing as it ought to be met."
WHAT do those "Republicans" who
signed remonstrances against the
ratification of the XYth Amend
ment, think of the course of the
Radical legislature in ratifying that
Amendment in defiance of the remon
strances of their constituents? Num
bers of "Republicans" in this county
signed such remonstrances, and earn
estly protested against the snap judg
ment by which Pennsylvania was
made to endorse the Amendment. Rut
Stutzman, Weller and Longeneckcr
treated their appeal with contempt.
They were bound in the leash of Ben.
Butler & Co., and could not carry out
the will of their constituents. The
"Republican" remonstrants, thus de
liberately insulted by their representa
tives In the legislature, are now left
the alternative of pocketing the insult,
or voting the Democratic ticket. The
leaders in Bedford consider them "sus
picious characters," and already talk of
them as "half Democrats." They are
never more to be trusted by the Ty
coons of the party and the cold should
er is to be given them generally. We
look, with some degree of anxiety, to
the position these proscribed "Repub
licans" will take in the coming cam
paign. We have a list of them which
we shall keep for our own satisfaction,
just to see who among them are honor
able, consistent, and indeieiideut men,
and who, if any, will cowardly kiss the
hand that smitps them.
THE new assignments of officers of
the army to duty, refer to military de
partments and districts as if the coun
try were in a state of war, and was sub
divided no longer into political states,
but merely into great military divi
sions under the orders of the Comman
der-in-chief in the chair of the Presi
dent. Thus, one officer is ordered to
the Division of Missouri, another to
the Department of the East, a third to
the Department of Dakotah, and a
fourth to the Division of the Atlantic.
How long will it be until the rude
phraseology of war shall be dropped?
There-are no longer any great military
departments occupied by vast armies,
or overrun by provost marshals and
recruiting sergeants. Good taste and
good sense require that the high sound
ing lists of military departments and
divisions should not be pompously pa
raded in army orders before the people.
With an army of less than fifty thous
and men in a nation of forty millions
of peaceful inhabitants, this dividing
of the country into grand military di
visions is ridiculous. The divisions of
this country are the political ones of
States, counties and territories, and not
military departments which are prac
tically of no more use than the shining
epaulet or gold lace, but may amuse
the vanity of the soldier. Let us have
peace!
A OUSHING radical orator at the Cu
ban sympathy meeting in New York,
the other night, appealed to the people
to save Cuba from falling into the bar
barism of Ban Domingo. In his zeal
the orator forgot himself. Are there not
two lovely radical republics on the fair
island of San Domingo ? One of them
is composed of half breeds presided over
by the illustrious Baez, and the other
is a republic of pure blooded negroes
whose President is Sal nave. These
two republics are waiting to be admit
ted to the Union, to furnish radicalism
with four more Senators aud that num
ber of Congressmen. Banks and his
Committee on Foreign Affairs are a
bout to pay a visit of courtesy to their
brotiier republicans of llayti, and yet
this radical orator talks aboutthe "bar
barism of San Domingo."
ON the first page will be found the
infamous Registry Law passed by the
late infamous legislature of this state.
The sections which pertain exclusively
to elections in the city of i'hiladelphia
we do not publish. Let every voter,
"Republican" and Democrat, read this
out-ageous and expensive system of
exercising the right of suffrage, and
then remember that it was concocted
and brought about by a radical legisla
ture to hamper and harass the white
freemen of the Keystone state.
LECAL ADVERTISING. —The law re
quiring legal advertisements, such as
Executors' and Administrator's No
tices, Orphan's Court Sales, Auditors'
Notices, Ac., to be published in the
two papers having the largest circula
tion, has been changed, As the law
now stands, it requires the publication
of all legal notices in t too papers, one of
each political party. Of course this
makes the GAZEI'TK one of the medi
ums through which all such advertis
ing must lie done. Administrators,
Excutors, Auditors, Ac., will please
take notice. w3

PIHL'A., May sth, 1869,
M F/NHELSSOHN.
We left off last, as we were putting j
on our hat and gloves lor the Musical
Fund Hall, where the Mendelssohn
Society were to give the third grand |
concert for the season. When this so- j
eiety says the concert will be grand, j
you will feel it all through you !! I j
missed the first piece—the reason, you ;
know, it takes a lady so long to put on
her bonnet and gloves—but the next j
was from the Old Master himself, solo
and full orchestra, the first by Miss j
Fannie Keine. We were carried by
storm by Mrs. Goodman and Miss Or
linaCunnington. The latter sings with
grout effect, and was so pretty and
dressed so beautifully simple, that you
could not resist her power. We believe
that there are parlors in this city that
have as sweet nightingales as ever j
came across the sea, nor do we think
that everything is the best thing be- I
cause it is foreign. The selections were
all from the best masters, and the cor ps
of artists of high order. The concert i
was enjoyed by a large and enthusias- I
tic audience. The musical director, Mr.
Jean Louis, was complimented with a i
speech and beautiful testimonial, the j
latter from the ladies, of course.
RED MEN.
This order is getting up a parade for
the 12th inst. Since the late one by
the Odd Fellows, quite a spirit has
been aroused in this direction, and we
shall expect to see something fancy, as
the lied Men go in for fun, finery, fan
cy and frolic, while we will wait with
wonder, watching what will proceed
from pensively puffing the pipe of
peace. This order is the oldest in the
United States except the Masonic. The
parade is in honor of the birth of Tam
many, the Indian chief.
THE RINK,
on Race and 20th st., was burned last
Thursday night. Its capacity exceed
ed that of any other building in the
city. It was here the Odd Fellows
held their ball, and Gough was to have
lectured this week at 10 cents per head,
expecting to have an audience of ten
thousand. It has been used for a veloci
pede riding school, and had been in
use on the night of the tire. The loss
is very heavy, but as it was owned by
a company and partly covered by insu
rance, can easily be rebuilt. Its dimen
sions were 150 feet by JOO feet.
LINCOLN MONUMENT.
The trouble is where to put it. Not
that ground is scarce, but the up and
down towners each want it to grace
their own section. Now, as Washing
ton is also to have a statue, let us take
the vote, so each has its share of honor.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS —The act
passed by the lust Legislature of oar
State to prevent cruelty to animals
will commend itself to general approv
al. It provides for the punishment of
any person who shall wantonly or cru
elly ill-treat, overload, l>oat, or other
wise abuse any animal, whether be
longing to himself or to another, or
who shall in any way l>e concerned in
fighting or baiting any bull, bear, dog,
cock or other creature. The abandon
ment in any public place of an j- maimed,
sick, infirm or disabled creature is also
to tie punished. The penalty for diso
beying the law is for ihe first offence a
fine not less (ban ten nor more than
twenty dollars, and for the second, and
every subsequent offence not less than
twenty nor more than fifty dollars.
The informer is made a com pet en t
witness and receives one half of the
fine, and the county where the offence
may be committed the other half. The
proceedings are summary, and the of
fender, in default of payment of the
fine and costs can be committed to the
county prison until discharged by due
course of law, which amounts to the
three months required under the in
solvent laws. When the fine exceeds
ten dollars, the efendant may appeal
to the Court of Quarter Sessions, where
the offence is to be prosecuted as a mis
demeanor. In aggravated cases, the
defendant may be bound oner tor trial
at the Quarter Sessions, where on con
viction, he is liable to a fine not ex
ceeding two hundred dollars, or to an
imprisonment not exceeding one year,
or to both. The necessary expenses of
taking charge of animals transported
in an inhuman manner,orof removing
and destroying disabled creatures, can
be recovered from tne owner in a suit
at law.
MARVELOUS INDUSTRY.— It is scarce
ly necessary at this day to say any
thing in praise of Webster's Unabridged
Quarto Dictionary , 1810 pages, and
3000 engravings. Having come into
possession of a copy of the latest e
dition, we cannot refrain from express
ing our admiration at the marvelous
industry and learning which such a
book must have called into demand.
In the book line, this Dictionary de
serves a place among the triumphs of
the century. The publishers' part of
this ponderous volume has been done
with a beauty and substantialness
which also deserve special commenda
tion. "Reading the Dictionary," with
this edition of Webster before you, is
exceedingly interesting pastime. A
copy of it must certainly be consider
ed to belong to the appointments of ev
ery intelligent family. Its cost is sl2,
but it is cheap at that price.— Moravian.
