paper supply, we are compelled to use
' brown paper in a part of this morn
i rig's ic-sue.
Titt .KsaisTRY Law. At the Spe

' which takes effect at once. The first

V event.- The County Court of each
county is empowered to appoint a
Precinct Register for each procinct,
" and he must be a freeholder. A strin
gent oath ia roquirod of persons ap
pearing for registry, unless of those
-who have reoeivod the amnesty of the
President j' all such may plead their
free pardon for acts of rebellion, and
- avoid the taking of the oath. It seems
that all who are worth less than $20,-
000 have experienced executive clem
' ericy,, unless proscribed for holding of-
fioe in the rebel government, and Jrom
this fuot it is fair to infer, that the
.practical working of the law will not

' but, on the contrary, it demands that
all men who havo never been in rebel
lion shall take, the test oath, while
those who have been, and are pardon
ed, go scoisfree." It is properly a law
; to compel Union men to swear alles
: gianco to what they were always iq
favor of, and to fan the animosity
of ex-rebels, without in any way im.
peding them in' participating in the
eloction.' A little common sense would
have taught, that it is easier to induce
theBO. ex-rebels to vote right, by ar
gumeot, than to control them by pro
qcription, A registry law is a good
thing; for if 'the electoral right. is
worth having it is worth guarding,
until' absolute purity is secured "in
elections. Without this securi(,y(
.elective government is a farce ; it is
anarchy intrenched behind the forms
of law ; the mob ruling the intelLi
genge' of the country. But this regis
y tpy,,law is not worth th paper it is
written on. It involves a considera
. bl expenditure of money; it creates
a little army of office-holders; it ap
' plies to Union men the tests intended.

the: division op the: static.
The avidity with which the propo-
lion to divido the State of Oregon
has beon seized upon by men of all
purtioBjjesiding in all sections of the
State, is the bost proof that can be of
fered of theucceptability of the scheme
to the public- mind; and it is also an
evidence of its wisdom, which cannot
bo controverted. Commenting upon
this topic, the Oregon Statesman re-
arks : A .. , ... .
"This will doubtless be aquestion in
the nxt canvass. It is to bo goner
ally discussed. The proposition, now
stands as follows: Give Oregon all
west ot trie Uiiseado mountains, and
lying between California and British
Columbia; form a now State -or Ter
ritory oast of tho Cascades, out of the
territory which would bo detached by
the Cascade line from Oregon arid
Washington. It will lake time to rc-
complish it, and by the time the ma
chinery can be set at work, the people
east of the mountains may be ready
and able for a State organization. We
lire iu iuvur in uio ui vision, una sugi
gost to the poople thtt the question
one to bo rensoned about with good
feeling and common senso, and not
one which should bo influenced by1
politics or sectional prejudice. The
nterosts ot the two sections. are di
verse in many matters, and require
luginmuuu ouimuio iu meir pocuiiur
circumstances. It is for the beet in
terests of both sections that the ques
tion be met and disposed, of as be
comes nion who desire to promote the
nterests of each other.and the general
welfare of all." i
This is a subject of vast moment,
when we tbiiik that by this division
another State 'will be added to
the Union, and by it that Oregon is to
take on those boundaries which she
will probably retain as long as the
American Union endures. In form-
ng States and Territories, it is too
frequently1 the. Case that the bouncla-
ies are not sufficiently considered in
their relation with the progress of
events. Thus, if it had been said six
years ago that the Columbia' Basin
would bo yielding twenty odd millions
of gold and silver by this time, the
prophecy would have been treated
with derision; even now, there are
those who cannot realize the proba
ability that in ton years this interior
Will have its fields and pastures oc
cupied ; its industry upon a sound and
productive basis : its water-power util
lzed ; the navigation of its rivers im
proved, and thousands of enterprises
of public and private, importance go.
ing successfully forward. '
If we take this division scheme in
band, canvass it in the light of reason,
without prejudice, sectional or politi
cal; weigh well the probabilities; ad
just the causes of 'difference which
may arise in our now condition, we
may, by timoly forethought, have the
arrangement placed upon a basis mus
tually beneficial to all parties 'in in
terest. Upon the question of boun
daries, it is particularly desirable that
much reflection should be spent; and
by discussion and ai comparison of
views we shall, have, a proper under
standing of the matter in its various
phases... '' v.; ' 'V ;
Upon this point we may notice inn
ciden tally, that the -Vancouver ,' Jftegis
ter, in a recent issue,'does not appear,
to think" that,', the i Cascades liange of,
neoossity creates a conflict of interests
betwoen the two sections of Washing.
ton Territory. It' is : a, remarkable
circumstanco that ail the legislation
affoetibg the right of transit oa 'the
portage tho ..Columbia Eiver baB
een done by the representatives of
that, portion of Washington Territory,
whose constituents have never hud
any commercial connection with tho
Columbia Busin. Tho , Jiegister must'
be aware that there is a little band of
official reptiles living oyer on v tho
Sound, that has traded and fattonod
pon this question of tho commerce
of the Columbia Basin. The facts are
notorious and calf aloud for reform a'
tion ; and if there was no other reason
for the rectification of the boundaries!
of Oregon and adjucont territories, it
would be found in .the .fact that the
earost interests of the people of the
nterior are legislated upon by men
ho have no interest in the matter,
beyond an annual subsidy of blackmail.
It is reported from New York that
that the Owyhee cinnabar is not cin
nabar at all, but an oxido of iron.
This is probably an incorrecl state
ment, as the ores were tested at Owy
hee beforo any of them were sent oast.
he method of testing cinnabar is so
mple that it seems impossible that
there should be any mistake about it.

It is now discovered that cranberi

principal products have been bullfrogs,
