THE REQISTR Y LA W.
Thb deciwon of the Supreme Court yetiter
day, affirming the constitutionality of the
Iteghtry law, secures important new safe
guards to the legal voters of this city. It re
quires no argumont to prove that the existing
System has afforded so many dangerous op
portunities for fraud that general elections
were rapidly becoming rather a test
of the ingenuity and deHporation of unscrupu
lous partisans than a reliable method of ascer
taining the wishes of a majority of bono fide
citizens. For years past every exciting elec
tion has been succeeded by a series of con
tests before the courts, the Legislature, or
Congress, in which many frauds and I
Irregularities have been proven; and after the j
tetum from the Fourth ward, last November, j
Of between three and four thousand majority
for Seymour and Blair, no man can tell what
majorities may be manufactured out of raw
material, or how many men in buckram may
be made to do double Democratic duty.
As the Government is based on the idea
that the majority shall govern, it is vitally
necessary to prevent minorities from usurp
ing power by fraud; and the growth of crime
and population in the great cities, accom
panied by the development of special talent
for cheating at elections, has rendered the
regulations which preserve the purity of the
ballot-box in the rural districts, where every
man knows his neighbors and fellow-voters,
totally inefficient in the swarming hives of
humanity. Every good citizen feels the
necessity of establishing additional barriers
Rgainst the incursions of the "vicious va
grants, the wandering mobs, the Tartar
hordes" who are ready, on occasion, to claim
oitizenship in New York, Baltimore, or Phila
delphia, and to vote "early and often" at
every preoinct where election officers can be
induced to tolerate them.
Whatever may be the merits or demerits of
the new Eegistry law, it undoubtedly fur
nishes superior facilities for excluding from
the polls men who have no logal right to
appear there; and every year supplies so many
new illustrations of the imperfections of the
present system, that its improvement has be
come vitally necessary. Mr. Meredith well
said, at the close of his argument before the
Supreme Court, that "we are gradually
but rapidly losing the enjoyment of the right
of self-government, and we are losing it by
the interference in our elections of persons
who have no interest in our public welfare,
no homes among us, no right to meddle in
our affairs."
The Democratic party, through their ablest
lawyers and judges, have made a vigorous and
ingenious opposition to this law on the
ground that it is unconstitutional. Judge
Sharswood summed up the argument, on their
side of the question, "with his usual ability,
in the opinion he delivered a few weeks ago,
embodying his reasons for granting an injunc
tion against further proceedings by the Board
of Aldermen. The subsequent discussion,
however, has shown that he gave to the clause
in the Constitution which requires that elec
tions throughout the Commonwealth shall be
free and equal a false and forced meaning,
and the demonstration of this fact sweeps all
his reasoning away. If the Constitution had
required that the mode of conducting elec
tions should invariably be uniform in
every district of the State, his
opinion would have been correct, but he
erred in assuming that equality implied uni
formity; and the web of the Democratic argu-
nient is woven, principally, on the woof of
this error. The Constitutional Convention of
1837-8 defeated, by a vote of G'J to 42, a
proposition to make election laws uniform;
and it has been the constant practioe of the
Legislature to vary the details of the mode of
conducting elections by special regulations
applicable to special districts. The word
'equal," as applied to elections, has a meaning
entirely different from that imparted to it by
Judge Sharswood, for it was evidently designed
to secure a fair apportionment of representa
tion, instead of the lesser object of uniformity
in election regulations, which has never existed
in this State, never been desired, and which,
in reality, is incompatible with equality, even
if the word is used in the sense ascribed to it
by Judge Sharswood, on account of the
diversified social and industrial condition of
the" citizens of various portions of the Coin
monwealth.
The legal battle over the Registry law has
been well fought on both sides, but the argu
ments of its champions, combined with Judge
Agnew's opinion, prove that the victory has
been justly won, and that there are no suffi
cient reasons for pronouncing it unconstitu
tional. The next step will be to set the new
machinery in motion. In doing this, we hope
that the Board of Aldermen will discharge
their important duties honestly and faith
fully. The great end to be gained is a fair
eleotion. We want no cheating on either
Bide, and no partisan victories acquired by
disgraceful and illegal expedients. Let every
bona fide citizen be enrolled, every honest
voter afforded a convenient opportunity to
enjoy his political privileges, and let the
purity of every ballot-box be sacredly main
tained. General elections only possess their
true moaning when every man who has the
right of suffrage is allowed to vote, and every
illegal claimant of a freeman's privilege is
prevented from falsifying the ofliciul record
yf public opiiiiuu.
THE YIItaiNIA ELECTION.
Thm fears of the defeat of Governor Wells to
which we gave expression on Tuesday have
been fully realized, the Walker party having
carried the State by a majority of about
40,000, and Becured a majority of about fifty
on joint ballot in the Legislature. The levltr
of the successful faotion, however, claim that
the result is an endorsement of the President's
policy, and the chairman of the Walker State
Executive Committee even goes so far as to
congratulate the President on the viotory
which they have achiovod. If this is to be
taken as a true index to the sontiment of the
dominant party, the defeat of Governor Wells,
comomea witn the ratilication of the new
Constitution, is not a subject for serious re
gret. The dofeat of the Constitution itself
would have been nothing less than a misfor
tune for Virginia. Its ratification, although
the disability and test-oath , clauses have been
stricken out, shows that the people of the
Old Dominion are willing and anxious to re
sume their normal relations to the Union. If
the successful party steers clear of the folly
in which Georgia indulged, and makes no
attempt to deprive the colored men who have
been legally elected to office of their p ositions,
all will be well, and Virginia will once more
enter upon a career of prosperity.
PARTY 00 VERNMENT.
Party government, as we see it in the United
States and England, is the natural outgrowth
of modern free ideas. Indeed, political par
tisanship is a practical impossibility in any
country that has not at least a semblance of
free institutions, and it consequently has
reached its fullest development among the
people that have approached most nearly to
the ideal of perfect liberty. Modern parties,
however, are very different things from the
factions of olden times, that represented the
interests of particular leaders rather than
political ideas; and whatever may be the
weaknesses of our own system, it only needs
an appeal to the record ot history to prove
its superiority to anything that has gone before
A recent article in the London Quarterly Re
view makes party government responsible
for most of the greatest difficulties of Eng
lish politics, and figures it up as the most
costly system that could be adopted. The
efforts qf the ins to keep in, and the outs to
cet in necessitate abuses that would not be
endured were the best men in the nation
united to carry out measures intended only
for the public benefit and not for political
aecrrandizement. The Review thinks that
party government brings into power orators
instead of statesmen, that superficiality is
engendered; whereas what is needed at the
present juncture is a ministry strong and
secure in its position; for no man can do first-
rate work who lives from hand to mouth, and
who is always fighting for his life. Men in
power under a party government are obliged
to keep an eye to the movements of their
opponents, and to adopt a line of policy
that will appeal rather to the popular
ideas of the moment than to ab
stract justice; great ideas and great ques
tions that ought to receive the earnest atten
tion of statesmen are given the go-by, and
minor questions, which happen to be upper
most in the publio mind for the moment, are
pressed with undue vehemence, merely to
gain popular avor. Party government, too,
is expensive, for it induces men to seek office
solely for the sake of its emoluments, and the
liability of being ousted at any time makes
them more anxious to improve their oppor
tunities.
There is a certain amount of truth in all of
these objections, but the question is how are
we to obtain anything better? Perhaps the
ideal republic of Plato, if it were possible to
put it into practice, would be the best gov
ernment that could be devised. But Plato
acknowledges himself that the thing is im
practicable; it does not take into considers
tion human nature as it really is. A philo
sopher may construct such a commonwealth
on paper, but the practical statesman has to
adapt himself to the exigencies of his times,
the peculiarities of his country and its people;
and his problem is reduced down to getting
the best thing that is to be had, and his
motto must be equal rights for all in the sight
of the law, and the greatest good for the
greatest number. j
A despotio government for such only could
fulfil the conditions that the Quarterly Review
puts forth as preferable to the superficiality,
the scrambling for office, and all the other
weaknesses of political parties has been suf
ficiently proved by experience to be no
cheaper and no stronger in practical states
manship than those where the largest liberty
is allowed. On the contrary, the direct oppo
site is the case; and it is probably safe to say
that there is more peculation by office-holders
in Russia, Austria, and France than there is
in the United States, extensive as are the per
formances of some of our officials in that
line. '
The fact is that political parties are necessi
ties in a free country. They counterbalance
each other, and prevent any one man or set of
. .. it.
men trom obtaining unaue innuence or
power. It is the people, after all, who carry on
such a government as that of the United
States; andhowever outrageous may be the con
duct of the professional politicians who man
age to get into office, the remedy for the ills
they perpetrate is always in the hands of the
people, if they choose to apply it. Indeed,
the people themselves are to blame for the
evil doeds of partisan managers; and such
performances as those of our late State Legis
lature, for instance, are the result of a crimi
nal indifference on the part of those who put
hucu men in positions ot trust and responsi
bility. While under all free governments the
peopie win be divided on moHt questions
between the two great parties, there ara
always a number of conservatives, who main
tain a balance of power, who think for them
selves, who refuse to be bound by party rules,
and who do not hesitate to scratch a ticket if
it is .objoctionablo. It is this class conser
vative in the only true sense of the word
that pructicaliy uueidea the clevuuun, uud it i
gratifying to believe that it is largely on the
increase at the presont time. Let the inde
pendent voters be increased until they beoome
a power in the land that politicians will bo
bound to respect, and then many of the evils
of party government will easily be corrected.
There is now a fine opportunity for this class
of voters to distinguish themselves. Both
the Republican and Democratio conventions
have put up men who never ought to be
elected to any offices whatever. These men
have been nominated in utter defiance of
public opinion; and if the people who have
the decision of the matter in their own hands
prefer to be swindled by such scamps, the
fault is with themselvos and not with the sys
tem of government.
THE CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.
The Chinese merchants have made an appeal
to the Ways and Means Committee, now in
San Francisco, which is a temperate and
moderate expression of the disabilities under
which they and their countrymen labor, and
a request for justice, which ought to receive
the candid consideration of all fair-minded
men. These merchants claim mat the uninose
are faithful, honest, and industrious; and that,
whether as laborers or men of business, they
are useful in developing the resources of the
country, and in promoting more intimate
commercial relations between the United
States and Asia. They ask, therefore, that
they shall have the same protection for life
and property, and the same rights before the
law, as other men. The treaty which, has been
concluded between this country and China
is satisfactory to them, and it is
a special matter for congratulation
that an American citizen was placed at the
head of the Chinese embassy; but the protec
tion promised under the treaty has not yet
been accorded, and under existing circum
stances they cannot advise the wealthy mer
chants and bankers of China to invest their
money in America, when their agents are not
permitted- to testify in the courts, and are
otherwise placed outside of the pale of the
law and made liable to outrages of every
description. The special tax collected only
from Chinese miners they think is not in ac
cordance with the treaty, and while they are
willing to pay taxes cheerfully when taxed
equally with others, they think the tax of five
dollars from each Chinaman for coming into
the State of California is not right, if this is a
free country. Fung Tang, the spokesman of
the Chinese merchants, said:
"As a people, we wish to do right and treat all men
weu.
to-day,
If you will converse with my countrymen here
', they will answer any questions you wish to
ask, and we hope, on your return to Washington,
you will speak favorably of us to the United States
Government."
The Chinese question is rapidly looming up
as a future source of trouble; and it is, per
haps, well that the intelligent Chinese mer
chants of San Francisco have had this oppor
tunity to meet the Ways and Means Commit
tee face to face and to explain their position,
and it is to be hoped that Congress will take some
action towards according them their rights.
It is useless for civilized nations to complain
of the barbarous policy of the Chinese Gov
ernment towards outsiders when their own
conduct is no better; and the only sound and
statesmanlike course that can be adopted
is to give them the equal and impartial
justice that is accorded to other men. Much
trouble hereafter can be avoided if we do
right now; and as the Chinese have asked for
nothing but what seems just and proper just
what our merchants in China have been ask
ing for all along there is no reason why
their requests should not be met in a proper
spirit. It was by temporizing with slavery
that all our former troubles arose; and the ex
periences of the past should teach us that a
broad and liberal policy, in accordanoe with
the principles upon which the Government
professes to be founded, is the only course
that can be safely adopted in this instance.
Jeff. Davis has written to a friend in Mon
treal that his health is in such a shaky condi
tion as to render his return to the United
States at any time hereafter a matter of
doubt. We think, however, that the country
will survive the infliction of his absence,
Tub Finances of Brazil. The Brazilian Minister
of Finance has submitted his budget for the year
1870-71. According to It the estimated revenue would
be 73,056,000,000 rels, or, at present rate of exchange,
6,620,000, and the ordinary expenditure 83,435,461,000
rels, or 6,418,100, leaving a deficit, Irrespective of
any further charges for Interest and differences of
exchange, of 10,879,464,090 rels, or nearly 300,000.
This defiolt the minister proposes to meet by In
creased Import duties, and In accordance with his
views the House Committee has reported a bill
adding 40 per cent, to the present dut es on foreign
goods entered for consumption (abolishing the col
lection of IB per cent, in gold), and raising the dues
on free goods to 6 per cent, the additional duties of
S per cent, to 5 per cent., and placing 5 per cent, of
additional duties on the goods not chargeable with
such ; which charges are estimated to produoe about
12,800,000,000 rels, but which will be lessened 1,000,
000,000 reis by abolishing the duties on re-export and
reloading, the municipality tithes, the half per cent.

Hbesks. Farrel, Hbrrtno A Co.,
No. 629 Chesnnt street, Philadelphia.
Gents: A persistent "but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night of May 89, 1869, to drill the
Banker's chest received from you a few month ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, It is
evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
It useless, the effort was then male to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the
neighborhood for several hoars, but supposing It to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed is another evidence that your
Banker's Chests are what you claim forthqm, Burglar-Proof.
Respectfully yours, I
