An impression prerail* that a failure to regleter on Tuesday or Wednesday last will doprlvo a voter of the right to vote on Tuesday next. Such Is not the case. The registry law especially provide* that a rotor who, from any cause, has failed to have hi* name registered previous to tbe day of election can do *o upon the day of election, and rote at the same time. That there may be no misunderstanding m the matter we quote from section ten of the registry law to substantiate what we *ay.
Hero Is what tbe lawprorldes:
«< No vote shall be received at anr State, county, township or city election In this State, if the name of the person offering to vote be not on eatd register, made on the Tuesday or
rirtho election, unleee the

The affidavits referred to In this section shall he attached to and returned with said poll-lists and registry to the county e ork. Any person maybe challenged, and the siime oaths shall be put aa now are, or
her aflcr may bo prescribed by law. from this provision of the registry law It
will be seen (hat f.ny voter on account of abs ni-o from home, or sickness, or failure to have his natural'/, ttlon papers, or from any oviso whatever, can have his name registered on the day of election and vote, If he fulfills the requirements of tho act from which we have quoted. Tbe law requires the affidavit of tho person applying to be registered on the d iy of election to bo lo ►,» HtiWt nence we would advise all « ho have not registered snd who desire to vote, to have tbe oflidavlt pre. pared In advonoc, Just as the law prescribe*, ■n that there may Iw no delay or confusion at the polls. Let no voter ho deterred from registering and voting on Tuesday next because he did not have his name placed on the registry on Tuesday or Wedneadayjaet, for he has
the right to do so under the law. ^ » Republican Financiering.
The Hepubllcsn party took posteuion of the Uovcrnment In 1861. Then gold was at par, and It continued to bo so during that year. And it was not until radical tinkering commenced with the finances and the legislation of the country, that gold advanced or paper currency diminished In value. From that time until now the radical party has had full swing In tho administration of the Government, and how can It avoid tbe responsibility of It* management of public affairs? In Its issue of yesterday the Journal says “If the Democratic party bad acted the part of loyal citizens, after tho presidential election of 1860, there would be no premium on gold now and no public debt.’’ We Inquire, in retort, where would have been tho R epublican party if Its politic si opponents had not acted the part of “loyal citizens?” If It bad not been for the support that the Republican administration had from the Domocrotlc party, it would not have lived an hour. Tbe fact Is, after the presidential election in 1800, tho leaders of the Republican party seriously entertained, If their own declarations have any significance or purpose whatever, the idea of permitting the dissatisfied States to withdraw from the Lnlon. Here is what the Journal said upon that point In
November, I860:
“ The North will never raise or use an arm pee any state to stay In this Union. Such nlon would combine all the burthens of
to for an Ur
union and all the weakness of disunion. Coercion wo regard as out of the question in any
case.”
Tho New York Tribune wa* equally emphatic against a forced Union. On the Oth of November, I860, It said: “ Whenever a considerable section of our Union shall deliberately resolve to go out, we shall resist all coercive measures designed to keep ft In. Wo hope never to live In aRepubtfc whereof one section Is pinned to another by bayonets.” We could multiply these extract* from the 'j leading men and pressea of tbe Republican party Indefinitely, but we have quoted enough to show the spirit which Influenced them after the presidential election of I860. According to its own standard of loyalty, we ask tbe Journal if such declarations were loyal, and if they did not encourage, nay, Invite rebellion or secession on the part of the South? The Republican party can not avoid or escape the responsibility of It* administration of tbe government by such miserable twaddl* as the charge of disloyalty upon its political opponents. No party ever received such generous support as did tbe Republican* from tbe Democracy during the war. Every demand tbe Republican administration made for men and money miA with a prompt response. The powerful minority was never consulted In regard to the conduct of the w«r, and the Republican administration from the beginning was exclusively partisan. The demand wai made upon tbe Democracy to surrender party from patriotic consideration*, but tbe Republicans never forgot party. The legislation of Congress was as decidedly partisan as now, and during tho war the measure* of public policy which the Democracy had decidedly opposed upon question* of finance and commerce, involving impost duties, were made the policy of tbe party in power. And the Democracy yielded to all to r*»tore peace and union to a distracted and divided country. If the Democratic party had been, what tbe Journal charge*, disloyal, •nemles to theOovsrnment.and had oast it* lot with What It call* the “rival government," wilu Lite “Jbfk. Davih government,” a different result would have followed the contest. For all prao loal purpose* the North wa* an unit In tbe support of the war and the Republican administration. And with tbt* incontrovertible fact staring It In It* face, the Journal ha* the br*zen effrontry to say “If the Democratic part? had acted the part of loyal citizen s, after tbe presidential election in 1860, there would be no premium on gold now and no public debt.” If tbe policy of the Journal, tbe New Tork TWbune and tbe Republican leader* bad been followed, today we should have been a divided Union, wKh all tbe evils upon tbe country which would have resulted from a disrupted Government. The Republican party can not es- # . «spe It* dilemma by pleading the baby act. - ‘ It undertook tbe management of tbe Government at a orlsi* when it should have taken J into its counsel Its party opponents, but not having done so r and baying as<umed the entire management of public sff tr-, uemondlhg at tbe same time the unhcsi'anng support of its political antagonists, the R publican party can not avoid the responsibility of its ante and tbe burthens which it bee Impoeed upon the eountry—for tbe premium on gold, tbe vast publle debt, the enormous taxation, and with •11 tbe sacrifices In blood and treerare, a still unreconstructed Government. And if the Kepuhllcan party Is continued In power there esn be no hope that tbe evil* upon tbe country will he lessened, for tbe principle*, policy end spirit which control it are utterly adverse te a 'uoeessfnl administration of the Government, r to accomplish tbe pnrpoeea for which It wee I winded.

The Registry.—In the two voting pre clncts, during yesterday and Wedneaday, over four hundred names were added to the registry lists, making altogether about twentyseven hundred voters registered In this township. This number is wlthifi about two hundred of tbe poll cast last October.— Terre
Haute Journal.
Negroes in Public Schools.—In Sprlngsborougb, Warren county, Ohio, where tbe school director# are all radicals, seventeen negro children have been placed In the public schools, and sandwiched between the children of poor white parentage. The children of the directors and wealthy radicals are sent to a select subscription school. So It will be In Indiana If the radicals retain power. Impeachment.—The Washington correspondent of the Boston Pott says: As the day for the meeting of Congress approaches politicians here begin to speculate on what President Johnson will and will not do In the event an effort is made to Impeach and suspend him. Although the radical programme at the Philadelphia convention was that upon Impeachment he should be “removed from oflloe, and upon conviction thereof be forever dlsquallied from holding or enjoying any office of honor, trust or profit under tbe United States,” I have good authority tor saying that ■ffWr. Johnson has never for a moment,
pUted such^t^ g ?
any one what his action would b# if Congress should attempt to suspend his functions. All reports on this subject are but idle specula-
tions.
Radical Troubles in Minnesota.—In addition to tbe feud that has spruag up between the radical leaders In regard to local issues, tho Jacobin politicians are sorely troubled by the announcement that Hon. J. W. Taylor, hitherto a leading Republican of St. Paul, and a member of that party from its foundation, has taken the stump against radicalism. The astonishment of the Democracy Is equal to that of the Republicans. Mr. Taylor's first appearance was at a meeting In Anoka, called without distinction of party, and presided over by a Republican. He supports the administration, opposes Impeachment, and says If Congress attempts It a mighty revolution will ensue. The accounts from Minnesota are cheering. The prospects that Charles E. FlaNDRau will bo the next Governor, and tnat Minnesota will declare herself emphatically a Democratic State, were bright at tbe opening of the campaign, and have steadily brightened ever since. —What Andrew Jackson said, years ago, may be seriously pondered on as words of truth and soberness: “My experience In public concerns, and the observations of a life somewhat advanced, confirm the opinions long since Imbibed by me: that the destruction of our State governments. or tbe annihilation of their control over the local concerns of the people, would lead directly to revolution and anarchy, and, finally, to despotism and military domination.” The Louisiana Election.—The Chicago Timet, In commenting upon the recent election in Louisiana upon the question of calling a State convention, and electing delegates
thereto, remarks:
Only a part of the negroes voted. The apathy which has seized upon numerous classes of Jacobins In California, and Montana, and Maine seems also to have effected the “ loyal men of tbe South.” They were Invited to come forward and “reconstruct the state on tbe eternal foundations of freedom and justice,” and were promised office and spoil should they do so; but for some reason only a part of them accepted the Invitation. They were too Indolent to vote; or they were Indifferent ns to the result of the election; or they did not know which ticket to vote; or they had forgotten the names under which they registered; or their experience with Jacobins bad made them distrustful of Jacobinism; or they thought that the intelligent whites of Louisiana—tbe old residents and their former masters—were best capable to administer the government of tbe State. It will hardly be questioned that the blacks who stayed away from the polls were Influenced by some one or more ofthese reasons. It may be that the election has decided against the call for a convention. Whether It has or not, the vote of the blacks
would not sustain the call.
Home News From Abroad.—An Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following gossip In regard to the candidates named for the Democratic nomination for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
for the ensuing canvass:
“The Democratic candidates for Governor are Hon. J. R. Coffrotb, Hon. Graham N. Fitch, Colonel C. L. Dunham, General M. D. Manson, General J. R Slack, Hon. Joseph K. Edgerton, Hon. D. W. Voorhees and Hon. W. S. Holman, the latter having decidedly the best chance. He is tbe present member of Congress of tho Fourth District, a good and upright man, and eloquent and effective speaker, and will make a strong canvass. Both candidates always make a joint canvass, ■peaking together alternately from the same stand and to tbe same audiences. For Lieutenant Governor. Hon. Lafe Devlin, editor of the Herald, Hon. Jason B. Brown, Napoleon B. Taylor,Eso, and Hon. Henry K. Wilson, are spoken of. The former has the best chance and deserve* success, he has labored long and falthftUly for

RepobMcan iow the thlag

take one Instance. Within tho circle of my AMUalatanoe wmmiatdEMm whobad worked Tiar(I and economized,'and had laid aside two thousand (idlers In gold. Those gold pieces were very dear to him. He bad great oonlldenee In a neighbor who had lived by him lor «my years, and he loaned his money to this neighbor, at six per cent.. Interest to be paid In gold at a certain time. The war came on, and tbe neighbor who bad borrowed tbe money turned radical. [Laughter.] It don’t necessarily follow that ne turned mean, becausa there are a good many good men wbe arc radicals, but nevertheless, when this man
turned radical he turned mean also.
>cea out, that some day or other and la some turned rautcai ne turned mean also, ay or other you or your posterity will have' When tbe old man wanted bts two thousand pay. Gentlemen of Ohio, yon ere la debt, dollars in gold this radical neighbor, wbo be-
to pay. Gentlemen of Ohio, yea era te debt. Your farm* we ail mortgaged, every feet end acre that too own, t* mortgaged to pay your notes that are out. They are called bonds, bat they are slteply your promise* to pay. They are inthe hanas of a certain Haes of men. They bear heavy interest. Twice a year the tax gatherer comes to collect from you; yea, he I* about you all tbe time. You pay taxes in every form. Tbe tax gatherer Is Invisible; he Is about yon all tbe time. You pay taxes on these bonds while you eat, and while you wear out your clothes; even while you sleep you are paying taxes on this mighty debt. Remember that the tax you are paying now doea not reduce the principal, It only
pars the Interest.
You will say at once “That Is aa appalling spectacle for us and our children after us to look upon.” Two thousand six hundred millions of dollars Is an Immense sum of money, amounting, according to tho estimate I saw the other day, to a large turn for each voter, and then tor each man, woman and child In the United States. I will not go Into these mtnutlie. You will hear me bow these men received your notes. JiVbcn our currency was deranged, and In order to Induce the people to purchase these notes, a law wa* passed by which they should pay no taxes upon tbe Government bonds that they held. The deranged state of tbe currency enabled them to buy these bonds at rates of from forty to sixty cents on tbe dollar. If to-day tbe people should repudiate the entire public debt— which I am not for, but opposed to—the bondholders, by the Interest they have already received, would be paid nearly, It not quite, all that the bond* originally opst them,,. them. “Ah.” but aaya some one, “Why don’t everybody buy them?” Men come here and tell you that the market was open for ail,

tion found. In my Judgment, in a civilized country. I feel that 1 am on the rock ef truth In bebi.f of the people. But to cones back to the point. If they will neither pay taxes nor allow the reduction of Interest, then let Jte talk to them about legal tender. What does legal tender mean? I was
llevcd that this loyal Congress could do no wrong, said to tbe old man: “They have made paper money now as good as gold.” “Not to ma.” says tbe old man. “Y'es, but they have; it Is legal tender, and here Is your two thousand dollars In legal tender”—paper money, when gold was about 2f)0 premium. “Why,” said the old man, “that don’t even half pay me; that Is not worth a thouaand dollars In my yellow money that I let you have.” “Nevertheless,” says bly neighbor, “It is legal tender, and if you don't want to take it, why sue
me, and I will plead'in court that I tendered It to you.” The old Democrat (•"(iId not for a moment suppose that such aa intolerable piece
bad been enacted mto the form of a

^ J l __ ^ ^ held that It woe legal - tender, and the old fash-
radical neighbor. The legal tender, and tbe court
toned Democrat had to pay the costs of tbe suit and take legal tender worth about $700 or $800 at that time for his $2,000 in gold; and then bis neighbor went home and said that he Was loyal and the other was disloyal. Now bavn't joiii crest deal of sympathy for these bondholder?! But if these men will not pay taxes Dor reduce the rate of interest then as fast as these bonds fall due say “legal tender” to them. We will pay you off In greenbacks that bear no inten st, end thus we will wipe out this debt. In so doing you will violate no faith, no honor, for men who refuse to besr their equal burdens in a Government put themselves outside of the pale, where men can claim and exact good. «»«**- Here is ray financialla easy and nun***’ 1 nav « not discussed your flvet web tics and your seven-thirties and your tenforties.

Lovers of amusement should not forget that the celebrated Japanese Troupe give their first exhibition at the opera house this evening. Tbe performers, fourteen or fifteen in number, are genuine natives of Japan, and appear in their native costumes. The New York Sunday Timet, «t May 12, toys of the
troupe:
“The Imperial Japanese Troupe of acrobats and jugglers have more than fulfilled public expectations, and made • great auccess. We •hail not attempt to describe their wesutorful perfectly tndescrlbtbe kind ever what manner many of them are accomplished we can not Imagine. If there la any deception it is certainly very ingeniously done; if not, we can only say they are most marvelous. The classic posturing and grouping are gracefully performed by tbe Japanese juveniles, and the
equilibrium with a large Japanese screen, revolving pyramid or tubs, sad the ench
the
tubs, and the enchant-
ed ladder, from which “All Right?’ takes his wonderful flight, and passes through the air with a rapidity that is perfectly startling. Still, daring and apparently dangerous as some of their feats are, they are performed with so much ease, grace, and self confidbnce that no sense of p^rUJs realized by the audience, and thereforeAhe pleasure Is proportionately enhanced. Tbe exhibition is peculiarly interesting from Its novelty and its strictly national character, exhibiting, os It does, phases of oriental life heretofore entirely un-
known.

Father was with me, and, while I was thrashing my hands to keep ’em warm, I noticed that dad had an ailtired hard bite. It was so hard that it jerked tbe old feller through the bole in the Ice, and I thought be was a goner, but just then I remembered that dad was i wful fond of rum and tobacco, so 1 outs with a piece of nigger-head, soaks it in rum for a minute, and then baits my hook with the weed, and drops it through the bole what tbe old gentleman went into, and in less than ten minutes, gentlemen, I bad a bite,and up I hauls the old man, as fresh as ever.

The Origin mt ** Dixie.”
A writer in the New Orleane DtUa says: I do not wish to spoil a pretty illusion, bat tbe reel truth Is that Dixie 1s an Indigenous Northern negro rstrata, as eocamoa to the writer as the lamp poets in New York eity, seventy or seventy-five years ago. It waa one of the every-day allusions of boys at that haa in all their out-door oporto.

cscbi/o Mxation. Why, a man is either a knave or a tool that argues In that way, for he knows that If everybody had acted on hts suggestion, and bought bonds, there would have been nobody to pay taxes to support the Gov-
ernment at all. [Laughter and applause.] But In the next place these bonds are the
rich man’s speculation, and not the poor man’s. Nobody but a nch man can be an owner of Government bonds. Suppose you hive a f irm of one hundred aad alxty a res. Now,If you were to sell the farm for $6,000,and Invent it In Government bonds, it would not heenouzb to cnahtn yo i to live on the Interest of your money. But if a man Is worth a hundred thousand dollars, and has the money invested In that way, then ho can live abundantly on the Interest of hts money. Whenever you hear of a man living in that way you know that he is a rich man. But take ’the hanker, the broker, the money changer — take the wealthy merchant, take the bloated, plethoric manufacturers of the East, who have stolen by way ot tbe tariff—take the ship owners, the horse contractors, the leeches, tbe cormorants, the money vultures that preyed upon the Government during the war. They sre the men. who have enough to step forward and take $50,000 or $100,000 worth of bonds, or a million, and lay them away, occasionally to cutoff the-coupons and send tnem to the proper place, and thus live on the Interest of
their money.
What other advantage have they? These men tbat thus own your promissory notes are protected by the Government in ih<' st shameless manner from taxation. If} >... “..ve your neighbor’s promissory note in you bureau drawer, for a thousand dollars, when the tax gatherer comes round you have to render an account of tbat, as well as so much personal property; let it be listed and taxed; but your neighbor wbo has a thousand dollar bond, need render no account of it to the tax gatherer, thus allowing the wealthiest class In this country to escape tbe burdens of taxation. Is there a man here that loves the luxury of working for some rich neighbor? If there is.
he ought to be a radical.
Ifthere is a man tbat loves bis party ties so strongly that rather than give up his party he would give up his manhood, and get up in the morning and work a little harder during tbe day, and later at night, and deny his wife some tea and coffee, school his children a little less, all for the luxury of paying the bondholders’ taxes—if their Is such a man be ought to be a radical, end I do not bope to convince him; but If there is a man here that loves justie*, loves equality, loves right, loves bis own, loves the fruit of his own toll, and believes tbat rich men ought to pay taxes as well as poor men—to such I address nay words. In the
hope that they will do good.
There Is a mighty movement abroad In tho land. It hae commenced sad ft will go on until It will level tble question. Why? my fellow citizens, this is one of the most monstrous questions that ever was addressed to a laboring or a free people. You may take the Ten Commandments of tho Holy Scriptures—no one revereueo* them more than I do—resolve them Into a separate resolution, put tbe whole Ten Commandments Into a political platform, and then add one more plank indorsing inequality in taxation, and that one plank would drag down the Ten Commandments. BTo party on earth can stand for a moment upon a platform that has embodied In It tbe principle of inequality In bearing the burdens of this Government. In my own town there lives a man worth three millions of money. On the tax gatherer's books, for Federal revenue purposes, open to the inspection of any body, tbat man stands charged with, and as having paid, twelve dollars tor Federal revenue tbe last year. There is three millions of wealth that goesuntexed. If tbat three millions were brought under taxation, some other three millions of wealth, perhaps yours, would be lightened of taxation Just so much. But, says some man, “ these bondholders pay taxes on tbetr Income.” I don’t know whether they do or not. I know the law is that way, but In the machinery of these national banks they have some process by which they evade even that much taxation. But they say, “ they pay upon their income.” Y’ou also pay upon yours. Is that any reason that they should not pay aa you do on the property out of which tbe Income arises? You pay upon all the property you have, and they pay upon none In bonds. The wealthy man sells his block of buildings, puts everything into bonds, and then bids the tax gatherer defiance, white upon Income, upon property, up-
on everything you pay taxes.
THE REMEDY.
"Now,” says some one, “What Is your remeayr As much Is said in regard to paying off this debt and getting rid of It, I am not going to evade such a question. I would first say to these bonnholders, will you pay taxes on what you are worth? That Is an honest question. You have wealth. It bears you a gold Interest of six per cent. Whose property bears more* Can they say that they can not pay taxes because their property won’t support taxation? Doesyourfarm yield you more than six per cent. Interest In gold? I ask them, then, will you submit to a tax like other people or do you want to bide from tbe tax gatherer and let tbe sweat of tbe laborer pay for tbe taxes of the rich? Dives left Lazarus to be licked by dogs at bis gates while be fared sumptously every day. It has always been a comfort to me, for my aympstbt ■ have been with tbe poor and humble, that 1 have scripture authority for saying tbat afterward Lazarus looked down on Dives In bell, where he ought to have been. [Cheers.] Will you bo taxed then, bondholder; will you pay your taxes like an honest man? You say, “It to in tbe bond that 1 am not to be taxed.” I know it is In the bond as a great many other uniust things are there by this congressional policy.
