Some of the pro-slavery men here, with Jack Henderson at their head, propose to vote at the election for Delegate to Congress from Eastern Kansas From their antecedents and movements, it seems quite probable that they intend to make out bogus returns and reproduce Oxford.

No registry whatever of the votes has been made but it is reported that His Sublime Excellency, Acting Governor Walsh, has written to his cronies here that they design, iu Eastern Kansas, to reject the Registry Law altogether, The people here will not participate in the election but the Republicans are at work, and will either quash the proceeding or take measures to secure the most unmisUke-able evidence of its illegality and fraud.

Could any honest man object to this Yet it has been charged time and again by the pro-slavery papers that this law was made to bear down the Interests of the Democracy.

If Democracy wants illegal voting, then the registry law is against it if not, then it is only for the benefit of fair voting. In the Lawrence precinct, it prevented some from voting on both sides, the loss being about equal. But on the other hand, no man voted who was not entitled to the elective franchise, and the decision rendered at the polls was one from which there can be no appeal. Our first experience of the registry law Is favorable. It is a safeguard whose sanctions and safeguards all must respect.

Those places where the law was disregarded must be looked after, and there will be no danger of its repeal or abrogation. Land for the Million! Many of you, through carelessness or absence, were not on the registry in time. By no means let such be the case on December tha sixth.

Walsh's proclamation also contains a gross and unwarrantable perversion, or rather misstatement, of the law regulating elections.

He says that Section 28 of the law provides that the Sheriff shall be one of the inspectors of election in each voting precinct" We think it will trouble Mr. Walsh to show any such law as that.

He calls the attention of that mythical person, the Sheriff of Arapahoe County, to his duties; also tbe duties of the Township Clerks as though such personages existed there but strangely forgets to call tbeir attention to Sec. 14 of the same act "regulating elections, which is as follows.4 MA' jwsoa aWl ie entitled to eefe, wis ass aef fcern duly registered according to the prtvi-sioase thi chapter."
