New YORK, Sept. 2-fhe Herald's
Washington correspondent says reports
to the Freedmen's Bureau from North
Carolin state that the number of whites
and blacks supported by the Government
in that State is greatly reduced, now
amounting to only 10000. The freed
men are making fair crops on Govern
ment farms. Offenders in cases of cru
ttty to negroes, have beon arrested and
are awaiting trial. In some cases the
blacks are treated with fairness, but
more frequently they are abused aud OPP
pressed to shameful degree. The right
to punish them is still lanaciously claim
cd by their employers, who often assert
that they will either have the blacks rs
slaves or exterminate the whole race.
The action of the blacks, i'll great num-
Der of instances, is equally unfortunate
and pitiful. Some are determined to be
dependent, and idly roam about, refusing
steady employment, being filed with
suspicion that they will assent to no con-
traot

DEAR SIR: Our county election will
take place Oh the 18th inst. At the in
stance of many of our citizens, and as a
guide to the officers conducting the cleo
tions, request your opinion rs to the
effect of the law of West Virginia, III re-
gard to the qualification OF voters, which
is regarded, by some, as unconstitutional
and void, because it is not expressly con-
tained in the Constitution.
Very Respectfully, Yours, &c,

own enlightened judgment as to what
the Constitution means and requires of
him, or is be to follow the extra judicial
opinion of some circuit Judge, magistrate,
or lawyer of his county, Under his
oath to support the Constitution Of the
State (and in which oath Legislative en-.
actments are not mentioned, nor even al
luded to) are the officers of elections to
allow themselves to be tied mp by what
is known as the "Oath Bill" or any
other mere Legislative enactment We
assert unhesitatingly that they cannot
do so, ard acquit themselves Of perjury.
Yet, this is what the Legislature calls
upon this respectable body Of officers to
do and Judge HARRISON says that these
gentlemen are to obey the Legislature,
and are not to think or decide for them
selves, for if they do. it will be resistance
to the law.
But let Us look little further into this
