the not infrequent appearance even among

accompanied by beautiful white wives, more
fair by contrast with their swarthy lords.
These are usually magnates of the slave
trade, which isindebted to Portuguese rather
than to Spanish subjects for its vitality
They are received on footing of perfect
equality, and their children may be met in

rented a small house in the rear Of the

Majority for ratification. ..... 6 922

Majority Tor TatlncaIlOn.- w.
We give above the official vote on the
Constitutional Amendment, which the
Governor Of this State, on yesterday,
declared adopted. The returns show
total vote of 81 ,526, of which % 224 are
reported to have been cast for rati6ca-
ton and 1902 fer rejection. 1t may be
proper to state here that the whole num-
Der Of qualified voters in this. State at
the time Of the last election, was between
fifty five aud sixty thousand. 1t will be
seen that little over One-third Of the
legal voters of the State have ratified Il
constitutional provision which depriVes,
of civil and political privileges, num-
Der of their fellow citizens, variously
estimated at from ten to fifteen
Thousand. One woHld suppose
that the success of their diSfrancbiSe-
mept scheme ought to have satisfied the
Drstructives, and that they would not
have complained of the returns. Of Al
election which they alone controlled,
and whose result Is their exclusive
benefit But the large gains on their
previous strength, made by the Conser-
vatives, are suggestive of ultimate ruin
to selfaccnsing Radcalism. The in
roads upon the Radical majority Of
$4,000 in Ca made III spite of registra.
ton villainy and mob violence, are indi,
cative of a revolution in public senti-
ment, that is fraught with destruction
to the dominant party. Hence, we near
dolorous complaints that "in the case of
Webster county there is very good rea.
son to suspect something wrong, while
In Hampshire it is well known that the
provisions of the registry law were not
enforced" and that the same was trne
of the three townships Of Tucker and iii
Braxtou county" The agonizing wall
which attributes "the partial enforce.
ment of the registry law in many Of the
border counties" to the terrorism of
returned rebels" is likewise due, we sup
pose, to damaging comparison Of the
present with previous radical majOritics.
Since facts of THIS sort seem to be so
narrowing, we would suggest little
writhing over the partial enforcement
ofthe registration act in Gilmer cOtn'y,
where the Registrar had to be hunted
like lodging thief, before he could be
made TO 40 his duty impartially. The !
bowling dervishcs might also comfort |
considerably over the partial enforc 3
ment of the enrolment law in the Ninth
judicial District, where NAT. HARRISON
personally revised the lists and struck
off large majority Of the registered |
names The proceedings Of the reg. !
istration officers in Richie with
regard to Penn township would likewise
afford subject To- f9t ful lameltatiou:
the "rebel terrorism" under which
three negroes were registered in Elk
township, Harrison county, and COM
PEELED TO vote for the Amendment, would
Justify unutterable groanings, while
Judge T. w HARRIsoN's decision adj.
verse to the constitutionalIty Of ths re-
istraSiou oath is a fragrant violation o.
the sanctity of election laws, which
should Immediately entail upon the Of
Tenders a shower Of such loyal kicks,

pun y Of the ballot box in Marshall
