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 The Boston Temperance Alliance has invited Win. B. Spooner to resign the Presidency of the organization, because he favors the exemption of eider aud iager beer from the prohibi tory liquor law. A committee of prominent business men in St. Louis has been appointed to go to New Orleans for conference in regard to the grain movement now on foot. HSrtiforTi aseuifmrtt, pa* PHILADELPHIA. (Correspondence of the Bedford Gazette. | 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. We would rather see Father Abraham in the White House to-day than stand ing on a marble base, and better would it be for the iutegrity and happiness of our country. THESE NOTES are stopped on the sudden. Our old frieud Jere E.

The Mohammedan new year was in augurated on the sth inst. at Constan tinople by a grand reception and a speech by the Sultan, in which the-set - j tlemeni of the difficulties with Greece, the pacification of Crete and the friend ly relations of Turkey with the rest of the world, were referred to with satis j faction. A Cuban Constitution guaranteeing to that Island a republican form of government has been manufactured at Washington, and is to be presented to the insurgents for their consideration. The Constitution so framed provides for annexation and the creation of one or more States out of the Isiand of Cu ba. Deserters from the 36th regiment of United States infantry, now in Texas, shot and instantly killed recently Brevet Captain JJerkness, who was in pursuit of them. The deserters were arrested and taken to Fort Bliss. The blanks on which telegraphic messages are written to be sent over the Western Union Telegraph Line must be stamped a five-cent stamp, un der the decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The Indians in the Southwest dis trict of the Indian Territory are disaf fected.

Burlingame has procured a grant for a cable between Canton and Shanghae to begin with.

General Sherman has advertised for sale his residence at St. Louis, Mo., which was presented to him by some of the leading citizens. Crowe, ihe newly appointed Govern or of New Mexico, is ineligible, being of rebellious antecedents, and Presi dent Grant is in a quandary about him. 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. Extract of a letter from Jerusalem.
