Bv the Registry Law, as will be seen by reference to the section which we publish to-day, all legal voters who are uot registered, can readily' vote by making the affidavit required. The KepubHcan Committees have pro vided printed blanks, so that there ,wiil be no difficulty in having the affidavits prepared. Vbters at the 8econd or Upper Precinct . will find these blanks in the City Clerk's office, and a Notary at hand to administer the oath; in the: First,5 or Court House Precinct, at the Auditor's office; and in the Third, or Lamasco Precinct, at Wiltshire's Shop.- Let voters and the Rallying Committees remember these places, and see to it that no "Union vote is lost because it is not registered. The law requires, in addition to the affidavit of the voter, the oath of a freeholder that he is a resident of the precinct where he expects to vote. .Let the first act of every Union voter this morning be to go to the Polls, and remain there till his vote is safely deposited in the ballot-box It will be dangerous to the success of the Union ticket to-iay if loyal men postpone, the duty of voting after ten o'clock th is in ormn'g'." The Courier calls Jacob Miller and Thomas Bowers "honest men's candidates. " Then it is the supporters, and uot the candidates, who are houest! Well may Miller exclaim: " Call you that backing a friend? " Unkindest Cut. The Courier, having exhausted its vocabulary of epithets in its attacks upon Sheriff Darling, can only express its indignation now, by spelling his name with a little d. This is the unkindest cut of all. ' . ' '' ' There is danger, especially at the Court House Precinct, that the entire vote will not be able tojbe polled, owing to the delay anticipated under the Registry requirements.. Let every friend of Darling go to' the Polls early in the morning, and let no obstacle prevent the casting of his ballot. , Look to Tour Ticket. The following is the Union ticket; see that you vote it, and that the name of no Democrat is on your ballot: For Judge of Court Common Pleas, 1st District, ANDREW L. ROBINSON. For Prosecuting Attorney Vblh Judicial Circuit. WILLIAN P. HARGRAVE. comnY ticket. ;. For Sheriff, ALEXANDER DARLING. For Caunty Commissioner, &l District. CHARLES KNOWLES. " For some days past the Radicals have been bouying themselves up with the hope," &c. Courier.'., . ',. u Bouying " is a bad spell for a paper that makes spelling a qualification for the office of Sheriff. Wasn't the editor slightly buoyant when he wrote that paragraph? Name of Street and Number of Ilouse. It will be seen by reference to the extract which we publish from the Registry1 Law elsewhere, that every voter as he deposits his name in the ballot-box must give to the' Election Board the name of the street upon which he resides, and the number of the house, when numbered. , Under the law the Election Boards cannot adjourn or take a recess until all. the votes are counted. ... As the ticket is very short the result in most of the precincts ought to be determined early in the evening. The loyal people of Vanderburgh promised Darling and the rest of the Boys in Blue that if they would go into the army and fight the battles of the rebellion, that when the war was over they should, have the.. offices of value To-day there will be an excellent opportunity to redeem that promise. No loyal man can consistently vote for Miller. "fcouDiEBs! how can you vote for Aleiaxdrk Darling, who has taken out of the County Treasury the money placed there by the people of this county for the benefit jo soldiers' families? From their lowly graves your dead companions demand at your hands to-day justice for their destitute wives and little ones. Shall they plead lu Vatu ?" Courier, this morning. This from a man who was made to jump over an eight foot fence on one occasion during the war for insulting soldiers! Much will they now heed his crocodile appeals and tears. Look out for lies and roorbacks to day. Believe nothing started on the eve of an election. Courier, this morning. Thereforediscard everything found

TSifonTy dangerbT Darling "defeat: to-day, arises from the fact that

Republican business men may neglect to go to the polls, or refuse to stay and cast their votes because of the crowd and necessary delay in receiving the votes occasioned 'by the new registry law. We hope no Republican will neglect to do his duty in this particu lar. " However little interest a citizen may feel in an election, it is his duty to vote. This is a duty he cannot shirk or delegate to others. If our principal business men cannot take.. time to , ' discharge this duty, they may rest assured it will not be neglected by ' those who have not the same pecuniary interest in the correct management of public affairs. Few of our business men be lie ve - that .the .election of a man to the office" of Sheriff, who expects by it to repair losses incurred by.unsuccessfuT financial operations, will be conducive to the best interests' of the county. Sheriff Darling's record has been "criticised closely and sharply by a paid Attorney, and reviewed mali ciously and falsely by an unscrupu lous paper, and yet he has been able to fully indicate his.integrity by replying to the, charges, seriatim, and refuting them all. This fact should stand to his credit in the estimation of all honest men. It will be, time enough' for "Mr." Miller to boast of his l honesty when he " has : passed through a similar ordeal and escaped unharmed. ' .; ..;.. Let every Union man who has talked in tibiesS past-'of rewarding hose who fought the battles, of the country, make'up his mind to cast his vote for Darling in spite of obstacles and delays. . The Courier says the " mendacious Journal" does not dare to charge Miller with dishonesty. The Journal charges no man with dishonesty unless it can sustain the charge. The Courier pursues the opposite course.. It-first makes a charge and' then en deavors to find the evidence to sustain it.- Mr.' Miller may be.a "very honest man. We have said nothing to the . contrary, because we- know nothing. This fact proves,$b,at . we have some regard for truth, and convicts the Courier of falsehood when it calls us mendacious. Out of its own mouth that paper is condemned. A gentleman residing in Centre Township met a German the - other day on the road leading to Princeton. The unsophisticated Dutchman volunteered the information at once that he was a resident of Princeton, but that he intended to come to our city on Tuesday and work for, his friend Miller." Another equally enthusiatic follower of Miller,' who resides in Millersburgh, Warrick County, informed, a citizen of our city that they would all vote for Miller in that section. Whether he supposed that Miller's district extended into Warrick County, or they propose to come across the lin-3 to help out a friend in distress, is left to the imagination of our readers. We only give the incidents to show.Republicans the kind of work and influences with which they have to con tend. ' i We are indebted to the Secretary of the' Wbodlawn Race' Course- Association for a ticket to the Fall Meeting, commencing Monday, Oetober 14, , and continuing six . days..: The Woodlawn Course - is situated. . near Louisville, and is one of the most cel ebrated . in the country. . This, vear the races promise to be very fine, as unusual efforts have been made to se cure a large attendance of 'superior horses. Sporting men will no doubt congregate there in great , numbers and have a jolly time. ' r' ' Patience. It will be necessary for voters, to-day, to cultivate a patient spirit. The Inspectors and Clerks will be bothered not a little in carrying out the provisions of the new law. Twice the ordinary amount of writing is required, besides the questions that have to be asked,, answered, and recorded. Time will be required to do this, and voters must be patient and keep in a good humor. " Peevishness will only make matters unpleasant, and do no good whatever,"- Let every body be resolved to vote, and wait hia turn, be the time long or short. Republicans haviDg carriages or vehicles of anydescription should have; them convenient to-day, so that the sick and disabled, and even careless and dilatory, may be brought to thej polls. Vigilance and unceasing ac-j tivity will win the .ejection. , Defeat will be doubly mortifying should. it be' occasioned by carelessness or laziness.!

'THE REGISTRY , LAW.

Qualification of Toters How Persons .Not Registered Can Vote All Voters Must Give Their Street and Number No Adjournment of Board Penalty for Illegal Voting Tickets to be Plain White Paper. As the Registry Law, under which the election to-day will be held, is new one, we publish such portions of it as Dear upon tne nguisana amies oi electors. Every voter should read them before going to the polls. . pUALTFfCATIONS pf . VOTERS. The Constitution of Indiana proi vides that every white male citizen of the United.. 'States, of the age of twenty-one years, who has resided in the State six months, and 6uch of; foreign birth as have resided .in . the United States one, year and; in .this State six months, and haye?

The following extract from Section 10 shows how such may vote: " No vote shall be received at any election in this State if the name of the person offering to vote be not on said register made on the Tuesday or Wednesday preceding the election, unless the person ffertng to vote furnish the judge of the election his affidavit, in writing, stating therein that he is an inhabitant of said precinct aBd entitled to vote therein, at such election, and prove by oath of a freeholder and registered voter of the precinct in which he offers to vote, that he knows such person to be ao inhabitant of the precinct, and if in the city, giving the residence of such 4 person within said precinct. By which it appears that all legal voters whose names are not on the Registry List, must go to the polls with the written or printed affidavit required by law." If such voters will provide the affidavits in advance, there will be little delay occasioned by them. ALL VOTERS MUST GIVE THEIR STREET AND NUMBER. By the following clause of Section 11, it will be seen . that every voter, when he goes up to the polls to de posit his ballot must give to the Elec tion Board the name of the street upon which he resides, and the num ber of the house, if numbered.) Section 11 .. .

We give below the' result of the election in 18C5 and 1866 in this county, which will be found useful in comparing the returns of the election to-day. ad they are received. It will be seen that the vote in 1865, when Captain Darling was first elected, was , very. Jight, there- .being --about 1,500 l&wi fote cast than in 1S66. 5 2 o C2 r.

The States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa hold their annual elections to-day . Ohio and Iowa elect Governors; a single Representative in Con gress H to be chosen from Pennsylva nia, itCplace of Mr. , Dennison de ceased; and one from Ohio, vice General Rutherford B. CIIayes, who. having accepted the no'mination for Governor, has resigned his seat. The Democrats tried to nominate a candidate, but quarrelled part of them in sisting on an out-and-out Copperhead, while the rest wanted to run a soldier; &o they gave ii up, and are support ing General Samuel F. Cary, (Republican), who is the - independent candidate, against Richard Smith, the regular Republican candidate. In 1861, Mr.-LiNCOLN carried Ohio by a majority of 59,586; in'1865 the Republican majority was 29,546, and last year it was over 42,000. These figures would seem to indicate that there ought to be no doubt of the result now, aDd we think there is none. We are confident that General Hayes, the excellent Republican candidate for Governor, will be chosen by a ma jority that will bear a satisfactory per centage to the Aggregate vote. The election in Iowa is for Gov ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Judge of the Supreme Court, Attorney General and Superintendent of Public Instruc1. As Iowa has come to be one of the most steady and decisive Republican States in the Union, there can be but little question of the result, notwithstanding there is an independent ticket in the fildi'J Last year the Republican candidate for Secretary of State had upward of o5,000 majority. In IdOo Governor bTOSE s majority wus11675,(while Llvcoln's majority lu iO"ji was o.uw. ; :i lit; majui n v mis year may ' possibly be reduced below' the average 'of these figures, but it will be sufficient for all practical purposes. ;- ' . .,(In Pennsylvania, the only State officer to be chosen is a judge of the Supreme Court, and Judge Williams, of Pittsburg, is thef . Republican and Judge Sharswood, of Ihiladelpnia, the Democratic candidate. ' The latter is a man of ability, but his openly avowed sympathy with secession and rebellion ought to exclude hjm from office. . Nevertheless, as the -vote - is certain to be quite light there. being only one office to be filled and. the majority last- year the.:-State- w; b only't7,l?8, it is' not altogether certain what the. result, may be. A Legislature is to be elected, by which the vacancy occasioned by the expiration of the term of Buckalew, Democrat, is to be filled. - We hope to be able in the morning to give some intelligence of the genera result in those States, unless the vote: should be close. ' Do voc want to elect Captain IL, Miller Sheriff and Thomas Bowers Commissioner of Vanderburgh" County to-day? " Vote early Courier, ihi morning. , . ! Betted adf ice would have been for them to vote- often. Something like that .will , ' be , necessary to secure their eectioq..
