NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET. FOB PRESIDENT, Gen. ULYSSES S. GBANT, - for. vic rmesiDEKT, Hon. SCHUYLER COLFAX. The Eeristry Law. The Pennsylvania Lezislature, at its last session, passed a supplementary act to the election laws of this Commonwealth. Un der this law new duties are made incum bent upon the County Commissioners, and the Assessors. If the Commissioners have not, as yet, taken the requisite steps for the enforcement of the law, they should not delay the matter much longer. The fcl lowing clause from the First section of the supplementary act defines the preliminary duties of the Commissioners. "In order to carry this law into effect for the oreseut year, it shall be the duty ot the Commissioners of the respective counties of this Commonwealth, within sixty days arter the passage of this act, to cause alphabeti cal lists of the persons returned by the As sessors as having been assessed in the sev eral districts for the present year to be made out and placed in the hands of the respect ive Assessors." The following brief statement embodies the substance of the instructions that it will be necessary for the Commissioners to give to Assessors, to enable the latter to make a proper Registry : ' First Name and occupation of every vo ter. Second Ascertain whether he is a house keeper or not. . State where he resides, and in villages, on what fetreet and No. if any. If in the employ of any one, give the name of employer, and write opposite his name, the word voter. - inira v hen naturalization- papers are ' produced, write opposite the name the let ter . "N." When it is known to the Asses- eor that the parson assessed has voted at wofa toter without production of natur alization papers. rourth When the. person assessed has declared his intention to become a citizen and intends being naturalized before next election, write opposite his name the letters "IK I. riftn When the person is between the agesof 21 and 22, write opposite his name age. Sixth When the person ha3 moved into the District since the last general election write opposite his name the letter It. Seventh Every person must be assessed witn a tax, if not already assessed. Other duties besides the above are to be performed by the County Commissioners, and by the assessors and the election officers with which several duties they should make themselves familliar, so as to enable them to perform the same intelligently and correctly, and in accordance" with the "true intent and meaning of the law." ,. : Elections. In Oregon the Democratic Congressman was elected by about 550 majority on an In creased vote in the fetate. Last year the Republican majority was 327.' The Cops have also elected a majority of the Legisla . The recent elections in Richmond county. (Staten Island,) Nv, Y., for Supervisors, show a Democratic majority of 1 50. Last year the Cop majority was 1,262. The charter election in the city of Nor wich, Connecticut, resulted in the choice of a Republican Mayor. The city council is u nanimously Republican. The Republican Mayor was elected in Washington city, on Monday, June 1st, by 74 majority. AP the returned Rebels, and Johnson office-holders voted the Cop ticket. Grant's Acceptance Letter. The Washington correspondent of the New York lYihune, writing on the 2d inst., says: I have heard a story, to-night, relative to the writing of Gen. Grant's letter of accept ance, which may be interesting to the ad mirers of the General. Gentlemen of in fluence called on the General yesterday morning, at his head quarters, and the con versation turned on the Chicago nomination. "By the way," said General Grant, "I have to write that letter ;" and, as he said so, he turned to his desk and wrote it in a few minutes. After it Lad been written he call ed, in the members of his staff, and read it to them. Only one word was objected to, and the General yielded, and changed it. The whole thing did not occupy more than ten minutes, and it was copied and put into the mails within half an hour. We are glad to sea that at Mr. Buchan tun's funeral there was no partisan cbaracr ter. Republicans as welfas Democrats did honor to him as Ex-President of our great republic. - Whatever were Lis faults he was personally a rarely pure man and socially above all abm-e. , Hard to Beat. While the small-fry Democratic newspa- , . i. . f .1 II ..1- pers, and especially tnese oi iue uiu Pomeroy school, are denouncing the Repub- ican candidates, and uttering against them the moist glaring falsehoods, .the leading minds of the party fully appreciate the strength of the Republican ticket, and the intrinsic value of its candidates. Thus that brilliant Democratic journal, the New York Citizen, says: "Grant and Colfax make a hard ticket to Kpnt Thfl wnniWf'iil military success Ot the onp, and the grand political aoihty ot the other, cannot be written aown or ieut- tied by newspaper editors; ana me attempt to do so is a folly only worthy of the late management of the-Democratic party, ine Donelson. Corinth, and most won- .Wfnl ot all. of Vicksbunr. and finally of Richmond, is not a third rate General, and no literary scribe can make him one. The gentleman who has worked his way up to thfi Sneakershin of the House of Represen tatives is no bad politician, and those who buy him for one will not make a profitable bargain. Probably there are not two lead ing names stronger, individually or collect ively than the two which have been put for ward. . . This is true, and known to be true by all intelligent men. There is not an election district throughout the United States in which the Chicago nominees will not secure Democratic votes, no matter who are the candidates of the Democratic party. Grant and Colfax are not only hard to beat but cannot be beaten in the presidential race " Too Much of it. The leading Democratic organ the pa per boasting the largest circulation North and South is disgusting many Southern readers by its baseness of sentiments. The Democraic editors of the North, who eulo gize Pomeroy,and have no word of condem nation for his paper or its sentiments,might take a wholesome 'hint from the following extract, from the Marion (Alabama) Com mo7icealth: 'No man ever lived, perhaps, who had fewer political friends in the South than Mr. Lincoln: but, notwithstanding this, there was no man whose violent death was more generally lamented among our people, And we have heard numbers ot Brick Pom- eroy's Alabama subscribers all of'them.in deed, with whom we have at any time con versed pronounce the treatment extended by his paper to the memory or 31r. Ijincoln 'a shame and a disgrace to civilization.' The Southern people are not hyenas. They never tear open the grave of either friends or toe to prey upon that which should be held sacred by all right-principled survivors the tault8 ot the dead. "But as much as Brick's Southern sub scribera resent his continued attacks upon i M r 1 jnniln.JljA.ioia)Ln.-.j. .ra nKe" nis subscription to the La Cross lhm,rrnt another year unless these unworthy.unman- ""onerous, unchristian assaults upon mendless women and the buried dead are discontinued, ' AxNew Dodge. The way that Demo cratic voters are made in Virginia, is verv forcibly illustrated by the recent publication ot the text of the written contract which the white planters and farmers of that State are found to be generally making with their black laborers and renters, th"i3 year inese articles, m addition to the usual specifications as to care of land, partition of crops, &c, include an agreement that the laborer or renter, will, "in voting; conform to the wishes and advice" of his white cm ployer. As the latter is usually an ex-reb el, or a Democrat, or both, the proper infer ence may be readily drawn. So Then ! Some of the Copperhead pa pers are claiming the late election in Wil- liamsport as a "Democratic victory." But Col. Tate denies it. He says that Dr. Lo gan was elected on local issues "Improve ment and anti-improvement." He further says that in order to elect the anti-improve ment candidate they had promised not to claim it as a party triumph. Williamsport will give a majority for Grant and Colfax. Convicted of Frauds. In the United States Circuit Court, Brooklyn, Friday af ternoon, ex-Collector Callicott, convicted of revenue fiauds, was sentenced to a fine of 1,000 and two year's imprisonment in the Albany Penitentiary. Col. R. C. Knright was sentenced to a fine of $2,500 and eigh teen month s imprisonment, and John S. Allen to a fine of $2,000 and one year's im prisonment for similar offenses. -.-.

The graves of the Union Soldiers in all the cemeteries throughout the land, were decorated with flowers on Saturday last. GreRt enthusiasm prevails in California over the nominations of Grant and Colfax. So it is jevery where all over the land. The letters of acceptance of Grant and Colfax both end with the word '-Peace :" to which the country may respond, "Amen'.'' A waterspout swept down Moody's Mountain Maryland, on Juned.

The following is the reply of Speaker Col fax to the Committee announcing his nom ination by'the Chicago Convention : SPEAKER COL FAX'S LETTER. JTon. J. R. Ilawlev. President of the Na tional Union lltjiublican Convention : Dear sir : The platform adopted by the natriotic Convention over which you presi ded. and the resolutions which so happily supplement it, so entirely agree with my views as to a just national policy that my thanks are due to the Delegates as much tor this clear and auspicious declaration ot urincinles as for the nomination with which I have been houored, and which I graf;ful- lv accent. When a great Rebellion, which imperiled the national existence, was at last overthrown, the duty ot all others, aevoiv inz on those intrusted with the responsibil ities of legislation, evidently was to require that the revolted States should be readmit ted to participation in the Government a acainst which they had erred only on such a basis as to increase and fortity, not to weaken or endanger, the strencth and power of the nation. Certainly no one ought iaiiu mrtier siictf ruie mat'tne'ir brganiza tion as States could ever again be used, as at the opening ot the war, to defy the na- uopai seniority or to aentroy the national unity. This nrincinla lias hnpn t.h . rll. a ar of those who have inflexibly insisted on the Congressional policy, your Convention so cordiallj' endorsed.

The assured success of this legislation is bein written on the"adamant of history, and will be our triumphant vindication. More clear ly, too, than ever before,- does the nation now recognize that the greatest clorv of a republic is that it throws the shield of its protection over the humblest and weakest of its people, and vindicates the rights of the poor and the powerless .as faithfully as those oi tne ncn ana tne powertul. 1 rejoice, too, in this connection, to find in your platform the iranir ana tearless avowal that natural lzed citizens must be protected 'abroad at every hazard, as though they were nativo born.

' Chances for Greatness. , , Can there be anything more satisfactory of the chances for merit in this country than the way that Grant and Colfax have. risen ? Unlv a few t ears since they were com para tively unknown one a typo, the other of the honorable calling by which Simon Peter is designated in the bacred Iwocords. Grant fought himself to the gates of the Temple of fame sword in hand ; and by an admira ble disnlay of individualism, prudence, foresight and a natural reticence, stands now foremost amongst the thronjr ot noble men Colfax wrote and spoke. His logical facts and silver-tongued eloquence brought him forward in the ranks of politicians, and where he will receive the second honor the nation has to bestow. These men have made themselves. They owe their positions to their own usefulness, learning and indom itable courage. The youths of the country should carefully study the means by which these men have gained the confidence of their country-men, and learn therefrom the practice of the virtues that have made the nominees ot the (Jbicago Convention great The Senate very properly holds that the Attorney General's office is not a proper , n ill place tor a man wno aeciares its legislation to be unconstitutional, and has committed himse't to the utmost degree ot orhcial op position to the enforcement of such laws. Nor is it consistent with the dignity of the highest law-office of the Government that it 'should be made a convenience, to be takeu or vacated at pleasure, by a personal adhe rent to Mr. Johnson. W hen Mr. Stanbery left the office, to become the personal and professional counsel of his friend, his re tirement was very properly accepted as fi nal, and his proposed restoration to the post has been accordingly negatived. General Grant's Opinion op "Cop rERHEAPS."The editor of the New York Ecening Post states in that paper that Gen Grant . said not long ago in his hearing "The rebels we whipped, as it was our du tv to do : they fought us bravely, and I, for one. have no spite against them. If they behave themselves I shall think well of them But the Copperheads and peace men of the did their utmost to stop supplies and rein forcements to our boys in the front such men I can't forgive; I will never forgive nor have anything to do with them."
