I went to my home day before i horeea to register, I was refused that right cause ny family ved in the District of Co- lumbia. I] saw two men who live and do buat- ness In Georgetown register. Their families also live In Georgetown. I asked crimination was made against me. I was told that the parents of the two Georgetown men lived in Montgomery county. Ithen told the registration officers that my parents also live in the county, as they do; but I was not allowed to register even then. Isn't that two laws—one for democrats and one for repubiicaas?” The reporter asked what he was going to do about it, “I am going up again next week,” was answered, “and J am going to register. I have got backing now that will insure my being pers to register, or there will be a big reeze.” THE PRESIDENT told the Californians at the Petaluma fair yesterday that he wished the sta- bility of the country mizht csntinue in perge {uity, and that “for all time it may be toe Lome of the oppressed of every age and every chime.” djatant General Drum Will goto Philadelphia to attend the meeting and dinner there next Monday of the Aztec Club.

Political Notes. One of the new propositions for a union of the democrats in Virginia is that the funder and readjuster state committees, at thelr jolat meeting on the 15th tustant, shall call a siate convention to be composed of delegates from both factions, and that that convention suail choose a Hancock electoral ticket, The democratic state committee of Indiana bave notified the congressional and national committees that the ante-clection canvass of that state has been completed, and it shows that the democratic vote Is larger than in 1S76. The state committee say the polling of voters is the mest complete ever taken in the state, and that it assures democratic success. Senator Sharon is pushing hard for another term in the U.S. Senate from Nevada, ani it begins to look as if he will succeed. Over one hundred clerks and employés of the departments will leave here to-night to vote at ‘the election to be held in Maine on Monday. The republican congressional campaign com- mittee estimate that the republican majority in Maine will not be less than five thousand. ‘The democratic papers of Maine do not give up the ship. The Portland Argus says that the information from all parts of the state is full of encouragement and that “all the tudica- Uons point unmistakably to a Union [Fusion- ists’] Victory here in Maine that will increase the 1,000 majority of last year to 5,000 or 7,000 majority on Monday next.” ‘The republican congressional convention of the 241h New York district at Ouelda yesterday ro- nominated Jos. Mason, of Madison county. The republicans of the 3d Kentucky district have nominated M. D. Fuppin, of Monroe county, for Congress, “It will probably te shown tn Maine, as 1° has been shown in Vermont, that the brililant military record of General Hancock secure bim nO support outside the democratic rauks and that his success or defeat is staked on Us unrecruited strength of the democratic party.” N.Y. Herald, to-day. About 400 Boston Irishmen have met and or anized an Irish repubiican club, with Wm. W herty as president.

Tt would be useless to attempt to estimate their value if they continue to yield asrich a return as the experiments thus far have proved. PO TICAL REFORM. War on the Caucus System. NEW YORK.
