We devote a large.portion of our first
page to a full and detailed statement
of all the sections of the Registry' Law
which pertain to ehr
'The first section, it will be 'seen, sets
pace to 'tbe revision of the assessment
hits, and the making Of new and re
vised like of voters. - The second sew'tion relates entirely to the duty of the
CoMmisidortere and Assessors on corn

denn.this hy failing to iiwt On 'the lloor.
of or on. the election. plate in each of
_our_Wirda_the Heti as-revised by Ifini:
The third seetien , pertains 'entirely
to extra assessments, and in this re
spect the new law has this,deeided ad..
vantage ; over the old one, that the lists
or extra assessments can be seen by
any one who desires it in the Commis
sioner& office, allowing tbem ne
eretion in the matter.
The fourth„fifth and %lath sections
Mate entirely to the proof of citizen-.
obi; to the challengesby any 'qualified
citizen, to the production of papers by
naturalized citizens, to the penalty for
receiving or offering second votes on
the same papers, and to the penalties
attending upon election officers who
refuge to require the proof prescribed
by law.
The seventh and eighth sections de
fine the duties of assessorse.in reference
to Presidential and special elections.
The ninth section gives the penalty
for wilful false swearing in answer to
the interrogatorlei - of the different offi
cers, and the tenth relates to l he com
pensation of the assessors, and the pen
alty, in case of violation of any of the
provisionsrof the act. The balance of
the sections may be stated in, subetance
as follows :
--- On the written request of fifty vo

'charity begint'at' home, aed end there
too. • .
In private life his, meanness among
his acquaintances is well established,
but we were' not prepared 'to believe
that he , would be guilty' of an alt so
contemptible and so niggardly as is the
'following ote, narrated by the Mauch
Chunk. Ga*te, a paper printed at his
'reputed res idence—Lan act which We
honestly believe in its meanness has no
parallel in the history of any other man
within the broad limits of our proud
old Commonwealth:
_The impression has gone out through
lie- papers of the State that Judge
Packer's residence is in this county.
This is a mistake. It is true that he
has a sylendid mansion here, that his
family reside in it, and that he regards
it as his home, but in 1867 he took up
his legal residence in the Sixth Ward,
Philadelphia, by having himself as
sessed and his taxes, timid there. He'
did this to avoid giving Carbon county
he benefit of the revenue it was en-
.titled - to - derive - from - the legal taxation
-- on his vast estate. The county .com
missioners and borough councils, how
everl.sucopeaed by legal process in
collecting -.the taxes for that year,
which had been assessed here, but
which he hoped to be able to transfer
:to Philadelphia. Since then-Mr--Pack
er has lived here just he has done
for the last twenty-five years, but has
utterly refused to contribute, by hi . s
taxes, to the support of our schoolS,
our almshouse, our roads and our bor
ough—dodging the question by a nom
inal residence in a distant city. This
procedure, which, perhaps, his friends
can reconcile with that " honor" of .
which We hear so much in - connection
with his private character, 'evinced a
spirit orpetty spite iind a lack of local
pride that We 'people of this county do
not pollint6 or forgive.
Mr. Packer still cfelights to he recog
nized 'as the head and frOnt of the ex-
eusive interests of Oarb-m-county-aud
he Lehigh Valley. The foundation
of his colossal fortune was laid on
its soil, and all his enterprises ale hero
located ; And yet, by a legal subtei
fuge, a trick, he defrauds the eilunty
of taxes whieti'xightfupy - belaug to—
reasury, and leaves its public insfitu
one to the. care of citizens of less übil
y but greater merit, by turning over
hjs taxes to a county a hundred miles
away
• may be urged that he has a right
to select his residence wherever he may
see fit. ,So ho bas i end if lie pays taxes
wlitTe he honestly resides we shall
have no fault to find. But for him to
regain his . actual. abi.de here, and yet
preteneto reside in Phibidelphia, for
the purpose we havo stated, is simply
insufferable, and we protest against his
claiming to be of Carbon county, so
long as ho refuses to pay his taxes
within her

That of itself should be enough.; but

neglect of duty as 'to amount to guilt.

Mr„ HOntwell seems, to be deiiig his
best to regain the ground so wantonly
thrown away. He announces. that he
will buy Ten Millions more of bonds
in the•cottrse of tills month ; and we
infer tlit he will keep buying so long
as he has the means, unlesS Congress
should stop him. Ho would doubtless
buy faster,--perhaps_ • Fifty Millions
forthwitlint for tie fact that this
would raise the price of bonds exor:
bitantly. Reis buying, we presume,

The end plainly in-view is the A-tid

rate),itwould'eave to, the country no
less thau Thirty•two Millions per an

entire debt within forty years. ff
To
fund the debt at a low rate.of interest
is to' be the great triumph of General
