We are glad to perce: that the authorities of Georgetown call on all who are entitled to vote under the new franchise bill for muni- eipal officers of that town to register them- selves at once, though the law in questios, by @n oversight in framing it, accords them uatil Sfter their next election before it is ecessary to mage the registration entitling the new vo- ters to exercise the franchise. Their action is im strict accordance with the intent ef the law- making power Apropos: the Constitutional Onion, with its usual blindness to the interests Of the public of this District, urged the George- tOwn autborities to take advantage of the over- Sight of Congress, and proceed to hela the election without receiving the ballots of the new voters, and thus set Congress at defiance. Our amiable and ingenious cotemporary, the Intelligencer, yesterday morning republished the Constitutional Union's article, with retharks which, where they mean aught besides jeal- Ousy and meanness towards the STR, indicate s#yM@pathy with, and approbation of, tne mis- chievous advice of the latter paper. which the Georgetown authorities nave 80 promptly and Properly repugiated. We fee: calied on tosay a few wordsin reply tothe Jnteiligencer’s attack upon the Star in thearticlein question. ltisin keeping with its Tiany previous efforts to Prejudice the public Sgtinst the Star,in the hope of profitingitsown business affairs. How completely it has failed an that business course upto this time, al Know; nor is it possible that it can ever ac- complish the sinister end it has in view. The people ot the District of Columbia know that their every interest requires them not tosligh the good Will of Congress, which is as import- ant to those among us whe liveon daily wages as to the capitalist who lives by banking, oron the profits of trade, or to the owners of ‘District Teal estate. The STam regards it as its daty {O take heed that Congress shall fester the mterests of the people of the District, and labors steadily to thatend. The Stam has as steadily advocated the Union cause from the be- tuning ofthe war until now, as the J1 ; bas opposed that cause daring the same period, The two papers have agreed Upon nothing in. volving public affairs since the Seuthern conspirators vacated their seats in Congress to Graw the sword against the life of the ns. tiem, The Intelligencer. still fariouson accouat Of the failure of the rebellion, the success of ‘which it seemed to have so deeply at heart, is striving to re-establish the rebel leaders in the control of the Government of the United States. The Stak, true to its record, while anxious to améliorate the condition of the massea at the South, who are not responsibie for the terrible results of the war, is immovably opposed to ‘he rehabilitation of the Southern leaders im control ef the General or any State Govern- ment, which, wherever it might oceur, would u &s bitterly hostile to thesupremacy of the (en- eral Government and to the sentiments and people of the loys!

The attempt to destroy the Union inevitably destroyed slavery, The de- struction of slavery devolved new daties upon the country with reference to the negro race, Spa tbe prosperity aad peace of the whole couatry depends in « great measure upon the manner im which these duti¢s shall be dis- charged. The Stak beheves that it will be madness for the country mot to march steadily up to the legitimate sequence of the abolish. ment of slavery—to the work of making the negro race as intelligent, as self-reliant, ana a8 industrially valuable to society at large as Ppossibfe, aud as soon as possible. Thus, the Stam, though fraskly opposed to increasing the number of ignorant, tnriftiess and shige lees yoters any where, did not deem it proper to. wage obvieusly ineffectual opposition to the well-known purpose of Congress to in. itiete Rere (where the law Clearly accords them abe power and the right 80 to do) the experiment of placing ali mea, without re gard'te the cojor of their skins, on an equality of ab The STAR believes it to be the better policy om the partof the people of the Dis- t the views of the boay of our wine Rnaniebans eeerden ‘an to that of the cause of the Union as in. volved in the mensut-s of setilement yet to be carried out, that the experiment of clothing the blacks with the rigbt of eu here, accorded a {air trial—a ttig) to end .of Making it successful if possible, If sgotess- ful, it may prove the remedy for thé ertis threatened by the tewper at t Mani<. fested by those who yet direct therm pop- ular option.
