HIS LOOKS BETRAYED HIM.-The editor of
the copperhssd Union, having succeeded in
getting steamboat pass, has gone ''up the
river" He has written letter to his cop
perhead paper, in which he says that, at
Port Byron, he was accused justly no doubt J
OF stealing. As be went ashore there. he
says

Just conveyed from the ground to our pocket,

part of valor, delved our dggets into vest

"our new found friend,' who made bee line for
the nearest saloon to invest in lager beer.''
Of course the editor knows he went there
to invest it in lager beer, because he fol
lowed him, hoping some one would ask him
TO take drink. If be had only been able to
keep tho poor mans postal currency be might
have got his pocket flask filed with common

the sixth section of the act of 1888 Is

The Court held that the rigid and care:
full inspection of steamboats, was one OF
the principal features of the act OF 1897
that the law had been in force fourteen
years and no one had questioned that
penalties could be adjudged, under 1t.
Judgment was rendered for the penalty
of $500 and costs.

that such a Boat did not require license,

Jndge Harrison's Decision.

Our neighbor, the IntelHgencer, is evil
IDENTIFY very much decomposed" by
Judge HARRIsoN's decision in the Hamp
shire county registration case. We are
sorry for our amiable friend, but can't
offer him any comfort just now. The de-
cision in question is so obviously right
that it is impossible to question eitherits
correctness in legal point of view, or
the honesty of the Judge who pronounced
it. In this case, as in almost every
other when the radicals are overwhelmed
with argument, they attempt to answer
reasoning by railing, and hurl fou-
epithets and groundless accusations
against those whose logic they cannot
withstand. Tie cry Of "rebel," copper
head" traitor" etc, is Immediately
raised by the radical po liticians when
ever private citizrn dares to entertain
or express opinions at variance with
their own, whenever a Judge decides
that any scheme for the elevation of
their party lacks the authority oflaw, or
whenever President obeys his official
cath, and labOrs for the enforcement of
the Constitution and the laws.
The Intelliqtne6r'S violent attack upon
Judge HARRISON is very good illustra-
lion of the lawless disposition of the rad
ical party. The editor seems To forget
that there is'such thing in the State ~
a Constitution, To which all laws IRE
bound to conform; or that there eau 1,,
any such thing as judicial iate.ytyy,,r
that conscience ever exerts ANY uou-
troll over the actions of men. In his rs.
timatlon.the welfare of the radical party
Is the supreme law of the State to it all
other laws, whether human OF divine
must give way. The party is TIE State,
and the arbitrary dictates OF its leader
must be obeyed with blind and unques-
tioning submission, No matter how reason
and justice and conscience may revolt.
The decision in question is bsssd upon
the principle which has been again and
again recognized in the highes. courts Of
law, that an unconstitutional act is void
a6 mitio, from the beginning, that ths
Legislature had no power 10 enact it /;
that 1T neuer uas lao. This principle is
universally conceded. The courts never
repeat an Unconstitutional sct-lhey
simply decide that it nsrer had any legal
force or effect. The registration act i'm
posing a test Oath upon voters was BASS
ed in Tebruary. At that time il was
without constitutional authority. The
constitution, it is true, provides that a
registry of voters may be made, bu, at
the same time it expressly defines who
. the voters are, aud it is not in the power
OF any legislature to alter the uualifca.
tions for voting expressed in the consti-
tuition. But, notwithstanding this, the
Legislature, by the Introduction of a test
oath in the registration act, attempted
TO prescribe other qualifications for vot-
ers than these authorized by the consti.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1866-09-22

tuition. So much of the act, therefore,
as abridged the qualification of voters
was contrary to the terms of the consul,
tuition and therefore of no effect. IL mao
no life from the beginning. The aaop-
t;on of an amendment to the constitu
49,, thr.e months later, abridging the
.,;scations of voters in accordance
18th the terms of the registration OATH
cou1d not possibly give vitality
to a law that never had legal exis.
ence. The adoption of the amendment
could not have such a retrospective op-
Grafton as to give validity to an act
which had been passed three months
before and was unconstitutional when
passed. To argue the contrary would
bs TO afford prima tacie evidence OF ones
etness TO be an inmate of lunatic asy.
lum. Judge HARRISON, was bound to
decide according to the law. No matter
how much his personal interests mlgnt
be identified with the continued supre-
macy of the radical party, he could
make no other decision without viola
ting his conscience, his oath, and his
good sense.
Then, in view of all this, how utterly
puerile are the rawlings of the Intelligeneer
AGAINST him. and how infamous is the
threat of his impeachment which the
radical organ so openly makes. When
Judges are selected merely to carry out
the behests of a party no matter how
illegal and nonsensical those behests may
be, the judicial position is degraded be-
meath the contempt of honest men. We
have had quite enough of these partisan
decisions; let us have, for while, the
reign of conscience and of law.

Important Decisions Steamboat
Men.


Judge LeaN,tt has delivered in the
Usited States circuit Court, in session at
Cincinnati, d, cision relative to the con
struGtiou of ST. .mboat laws, as to inspec-
ton; which is I general interest TO our
steamboat me-. The decision is such
lengh that We enaQ be compelled to at
tempt an abstract. The title Of the case
was, United states VS.. c. C. Pearee et.
al. The action was in debt for penalty
OF Eve hundred dollars, brought against
the owners of 10 Lady Pike for navigat
ing said boat without inspection of her
hull and boilers.
1t appears OF the trial that the boat
had been duly inspected on the 4th of
July, 1864, which inspection was valid
under the statu 70, for one year, aud, con-
sequently, expired on the 4th of July
1866. From th 1T date until the oath OF
November following, she was run with
out any valid inspection papers She
had been previously impressed by mill
tary authority in the service of the Gov
eminent, but there was no proof that be-
tween the dates above mentioned, and
while she was ,unning without inspec-
tien, she was 1T the employment Of or
under the control of the Government.
The only question for the consideration
of the Court was, whether the use of the
boat in navigation without inspection as
above stated, is.a violation of the stat
utes, mourning the penalty of five hun
dred dollars claimed by the Government.
The counsel for defendants offered the
following reasons to show that while
the law relating to steamboats, requires
them to be inspected by the prop
er officers, it attaches no penalty for a
failure to procure An inspection. l. That

"THE coming man" of the Torch and
Turpentine Party is, undoubtedly, BEN.
BUTLER. He already enjoys their conf
dence to the Utmost extent and more
than one prominent journal has already
spoken of him as the probable negro
suffrage nominee for President in 1908.
He was present at the black and tan
convention attended by FOREMAN,
CAMPBELL g. Co and was exhibited to
the people free Of charge by BARNUM'
the Snowman, who marched just before
him in the procession through the streets
of Philadelphia, This BUTLER made a
speech in Boston few days ago, which
is reported in the Tribune of the l4th
inst. In that speech, he said:
"We spurn the dogma that this IS q
white faced man s government. [ Cheers. ]
We are now to look to the heart for color
NOT the face. Cheers We inslst
that il is the loyal mans government,
whether he be white or black. We look
TO the color of the heart, and not to that
of the face, to determine our political
friends or enemies. Renewed cheers ]
This, then may be considered part OF
the radical programme, officially de-
clared. This is to be government OF
mixed and mongrel races like those OF
Mexico and South America. We are to
have mixed officers, part white, part
black, and part between the two-tl'at
