UNCONSTITUTIONAL
The Registry Law held Unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court.
Ths Supremo Court rendered their diclsloti
last Wednesday iu th case involving the oon-
titiitionaluy of th registry law. The law was
declared unc institutional, the opinion being
by Waldo, Thayer dissenting. Th court holds
that th Constitution provide who shall be
electors, but they are not eligible till day of
election. The Legislature cannot pass laws re'
quiring voters to prove beforehand their eligi
bility to vole in the future.
The principal grounds upon which th dects'
ion is based refers to Sections 2 aud I I, Article
II of the Cohititution of Oregon, which reads:
Section 2. In all elections not otherwise
provided for by this constitution, every itbiU
male citi.. ri of the United Status, of ths age
of 21 years and upwars, who shall have resided
in t'nU State during the six months immediate
ly preceding such election -and every white
male of foreigh birth of the ,'e of 21 years and
Upwards, who shall liuvs resided in this State
during the six mouths immediately preceding
such slielioii, and shall have declared his in
tuition to become a citizen of tie United
States one year preceding smh election, con
torimihly to the laws of tne United Slates on
the snliject nf niitnraliuitiou, slndl be entitled
to vote at all election authoilzed by law.
Skc. 17. Ml nualilieir electors shall vote In
the election precinct in the county where they
may itvidf, lor county oltio-rs, and in any
county in the State for State cHieers, or in any
county of a congressional district iu which
such elector may resiile, for member of Con
gress. The action of the Supreme Court will render
registration useless, Lane county by the do
cUioii will save about 2,000, which is quite a
sum considering the present hard limes. The
costs thus far mmle in purchasing registration
1 looks, blanks,etc,will not amount to over 9200.
The law was badly needed in Portland and
Antnria, but ill the interior nf ithe Stat It was
a hardship that the people generally are glad to

The friends nf Siuslaw must understand its re

to your repeated requests tor information
and in justice to myself I beg leave to make
the following statement at to the Itosecraus
letter. I wrote to Gen itoeocrans about a
year sgo asking him for a copy of his report
on the battles of Iuka aud Corinth (in which
I had the honor to serve under his command)
snd asking his aid in a matter of interest to
the Ma'ined Soldiers League, etc. It was
some time before I received a reply and then
it contained no reference to my request, but
stated in substance that the General was
always ready to do all in Ins power to aid
his old comrades in arms, but that all appli
cations for appointment to ollice shbuhi be
made through thn proper channel, etc. 1
paid na attention to the letter at the time.
1 had nn thought of applying for an ollice
being su situated mat 1 coiiiu
not have ac
cepted an appointment had one been (en
tered. Hut three or lour mouths later 1 did
apply for the Eugenn City Post Ollice, aud
after my petition had been sent to Washing

gave me what assistance he could, as the fol

Now thst is alt there is of the mole hill
from which yoil are trying tn mrike a moun
tain. In regard to the articlo from the Cess
Co, Iowa, Democrat, the stories concerning
my injuries, mo, were all thoroughly invesii
gated by the unvernmeiit years ago, aud all
the testi.nony in the case together with the
record of my military service is nn file in
Washington A to my otliuinl incompe
tency 1; as Secretary of tile Independent
School District of Atlantic paid out (by
orders) over f 10,009 of public money; as
overseer of the poor farm from $.150 to (400
per month, and r as Township clerk some
$'.',000, aud never heard a word of complaint
while I lived in Atlantic; and I settled with
the Boards satisfactorily in every case. Now
as you have asked several questions, 1st me
ask what is this all about anyway. What is
my olTense? Is it because I applied for an
office, or is it nu account of my political
preference, Vhen I tendered my services
tn the Governmet in ISb'l there was no ob
jections offend because I was a Democrat,
nor was any attempt made to asperse my
character iu order to prut en t my services
from being accepted. I made my application
iu good faith and I believe the oilier appli

ful it will not be owing to aspersion on my
part. Respectfully yours,

Now for Mr Fry. He writes for a eopy of
Uon. RosecransVeport on the battle of Iuka,
eto, and some time after he resolved a reply
stating the General was ready to do all in hjs
power to aid Ids old comrades "but that all
Applications for appointment to office should be
made through the proper channel, eto 1 his,

sent to a letter asking for a public document.

ecrans thought that Mr. fry was a PcnmrsUj
can admit of no doubt, for he could not think Mr
Fry would ever hide bis principles and psie
as the representative id the Democratic Ad
ministration in Eugene City.
The letter he publishes from Gen. Rosecrans
oertninly has nothing tn do with the Eugene
postnftice as Mr. Stevenson, Second Assistant
Postmaster General, has no mors
to do with the selection of the Eugene
postmaster, than with the choosing nf our min
ister to England. Mr Fry must have written
for the Acme or Sqited'hik postofffce, as Mr
Stevenson has the disposal of all offices that
pay less than' $1000 per annum.
Mr. Fry's application states that the people
Irrespective of party ask for his appointment
when' the Democratic nonies on said instru
ment can lie counted on the fingers ofone
hand.' Here we have an attempted deception,
but it didn't work. The question of compe
tency of Mr Fry a town clerk of Atlnntio
City, Iowa is between Mr Fry a'nd the Cass
County Democrat, the JJeruocrat alnrming
that which .f r Fry defiles.
We have never considered Mr Fry' con
nection with this scheme other than of a cat's
ft'iw and a tool of another l e'rson. We do not
think that the othor party excels us tn patil
olisin, who ho 'iich abounding love for the
soldiers he has fleeced, and we believe w. can
lie honest and loyal, even should we oppose Mr
Fry in his aspirations,
The letter which appears in to-day paper
over Mr.' Fry's signature is disingenuous, it
begs the question, and must raise doubts, it is
a witne- against Mr. try, and the strongest
that could be brought He has furnished the
best reasons why he should not be appointed,
and with the reasons given above, a satisfactory
answer is formed to bis questions. .
