Glorious Victory.

Such a victory as was achieved on last
Thursday, 10 this County, is but seldom
witnessed. g.. ...
Forwceks, and even for months, before
the election, every effort was made to
defeat the true loyal men of the County,
but being wide awake und perceiviug the
. proper course, victory turned upon the
side Of the Union, and to day kdua%%hhaa
County deserves the praise Of the truly
loyal everywhere.
If all the Counties Of this State have
done as we'll as this, the infamous oath
bilp' will remain law for some time to
come, Notwithstanding its Objectionable
features.
Wo say the victory was complete
There is not 4 vestagc Of the opposition
remaining unwhippod. And it is 50 be-.
cause our loyal men had mind to work
for the interests Of their country. They
had heard orators before the war, and
many Of them had boon Influenced by
these stump orators; but four years OF
war has opened widely the eyes Of their
understanding.
But then, after all, it is a pity that SO
many good fellows are left out in the
cold yet they could not come in, having
been so uufaithful heretofore, it was
thought best to leave them at home
They will not think hard undor the cir
cums,ances, but will try in their private
walks to merit confidence before they
come before the people again.
Again VIC say the victory is perfect
entire, wanting nothing victory by
the Radicals the faction that has sprung
up riShtin our miGst-the "usupers, the
"foreigners," and such victory too, as
is we'll calculated to make nervous human
nature step about aud spit without any
hesitation. Truly We may sing,
"Victory At last, boys!
Victory 1T last.

Col. Smiths Letter.

Col. Heniamin Smith. Of Charleston,
West Virginia, who is United States At
,oruey for the District Of West Virginia
has written letter and published it in
tho Kanawha Republicans ofthe ! ith inst.
iu which he takes tho ground that Mr..
Lamb in his;reocnt letter was correct in
advising the inspectors Of Elections to
disregard tho "test oath q, unconstitu-
tional. lie says"
1.-THE conductors Of election take 'an
oath to supper: the constitution, and it
would be solemn mockery TO say they
are bound to violate that oath BY acting
knowingly counter to Tint: constitution
This question was discussed in the case
of Marbury VS.. Madison. in the Sapreme
Court of the limited States, and most
ably elaborated and decided by Chief
Justice MARSHALL This opinion is in
conformity to 'that decision. See Is,
Crauch, 49, .'.'3,''" = 80
Now Col. Smith has the reputation Of
bsins "learn"d in the law" and he is q
very cstimablc gentleman; but clever
gentlemen and men well versed in legal
lore are just as liable to fall into grave
errors as other men, and not unfrequent-
" esrcgiously misrcpresent matters
Now the case to which Col. Smith refers
in Ist'Crancii is not at all analosou. to
the conductors Of election, deciding a
law Unconstitutional. In the case Of
Marbury rs: Madison, the Supreme Court
Of tho United States. decided this qucs.
ton alone: That: the said Court had the
rower to decide and determine whether
the laws werc constitutional or uncon.
ssitutional-that il was the tribunal to
expound aud interpret tho laws Of the
United States, and the decision in the
case Of Marbury IS. Madison, there ia

The Election.

The election is over, and the Union
men Of kanawha have gained another
glorious victory. Notwithstanding the
many vile. used By the enemy to defeat
us, We came out with very respectable
majority. The rebels and their friends
may learn tho lesson that KanaHha
County is ioyal-that her nudsills are no
longer Mnrrs to the rebel aristoeracy
who, in trying to degrade them yet
further, have burst the chain, and they
nre free. And another lesson may be
learned: that our people-the loyal
people Of Kanawha-are not disposed to
iawu and shipper over traitors, until they
repent. When morks meet for repent.
auce arc doue, then will be time enough
To talk CT rebel rights.
As will tc seen by the returns, the
unconditional Union ticket is elected in

Of the hypothesis here advanced by Col.

question:: For whatipurpcse' is the Of:

The 'nrswer Isl to- execute the" election

election laws, and he is bound to exc.
cute it while il. remains "a Law that is !,
until it issdeciled to be unconstitutional
by the proper judicial tribunrl, or has
been, repealed. But says Mr.. Smith,
che is sworn to support the con.

clauses OF it that admit Of "a variety of

the conductor, Of an election i.!to inter-
pref the constitution; it i, through the
law which he is also sworn to execute
Each member of the Legislature is sworn
to support tho constitution, aud is bound

are otherwise determined by the proper
