THE re-actionists are already at wor

TIE re-actionists are already at work
in this State, as we said some. weeks
ago they would be sooner or later. IN
Hampshire county few days ago n
meeting was held TO take steps 70 get
back again into the State Of Virginia
The meeting was composed OF those who
for convenience and cover, call them
selves Observation-Disclosures"
&C., but who were in reality returned
rebels, and their sympathizers, aiders
and hackers at home. They deal in a
great deal of specious talk about there
never having been a full vote in that
county on the proposition of separation
from the old State, and proceed toshow
that the will of the majority should
have been consulted. In other words
having lost the game owing to their
treason and rebellion,f they propose
new deal. These foolish fellows imag-
inc that they are the people whom 1t Is
desirable TO consult about the new Stats
question. In their eyes they, and not
those who stayed at home and were true
tn the Union cause, are the governing
class. They have not learned yet that
in this war the loyal minority in the
stnte and in the sections OF States that
were rebellious, are the class there
whose voices have chiefweight with the
country at large, and with the powers
that be, both at Washington and in the
capitol OF this State. Rebels and trail
tors who were overcome and forced
hack into recognition OF tho authority
over them, have very few rights, as ass, a
,nutter of right, that we are bound to re-
spect-chie1y such as the magnnnimi-
~ of Union men may accord them
Instead of appearing in Pubhc anu
making themselves meddlesome rs 70
what has been done during their aO-
sence In the rebellion, or during the pc
Rod when at home they were actively
hiding those who invaded and desola-
tod portions of West Virginia, they
should now DO occupying stools OF re-
pentance in the very humblest places
OF the synagogue. zoo
Let us say to these Hampshire county
reactionists that their dream of re-
union with the old State is vain and
illusory. Many strange things have
happened within few years past, and
many moro are to happen ere yet the
present generation shall pass away, but
amidst all the reorganizations and re-
constructions that we arc to see, "West
Virginia" in the language of the open
ing sentence of her organic law, shall
be and remain one OF tho United States
OF America" G4.t-ssE

zinc wayne comfy contest Case.

AS appears in our Legislative report
this morning the Wayne County Con-
test Case was decided yesterday, the
House adopting the Committees report
giving Col. Carroll the seat. This case
being important as a precedent, it may
not be amiss to refer briefly to the
points decided.
The House rejected the poll at pre-
cinct where votes were allowed in VIC
lation of the law of February last, that
is where the officers OF elections refused
to enforce challenges; and at another
where the proceedings were so riotous
that those desiring to challenge were
deferred from doing so by fears for per-
sonal safety. The House received as
valid the votes of citizens of Wayne
who were driven out by guerillas during
the war, and after residing in Ohio till
they could in safety, returned to their
homes.iD Wayne; thus deciding that
these people had not lost residence by
enforced absence. e5 if=' Pc '-'-

WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 'e6.
The passage of the suffrage bill
through the House, afew days ago, took
the Ro6d people of this metropolis COM
pIeteIy by surprise. The two cities.
Washington and Georgetown, had Just
held elections for the purpose of allow
ing the citizens to express their opinion
on the subject of negro suffrage, and
that opinion was almost unanimously
against it's for 1t, and about 5000
against IL. + The President is known
to be opposed to it at the present time.
Raymond, editor and proprietor of the
New York Times, and member from
New York CITY. delivered an eloquent
speech against ii, and dictated any
quantity of editorials against it in his
paper; and many others, equally. clever
and able, took an active part in the
same direction,-but, alas, for the hopes,
the expectations, the constancy ofman-
kind, WHEN the time for action came
their courage could not be screwed up
to the sticking point, and as their names
were calledlon the question, "shall the
bill pass2" they heroically answered
"aye.n 80 adi
Many sterling Union men voted t'no, !"
because they did not believe the clark
element of society," had, as yet, been
properly prepared for this great boon.
There areimany no doubt in this dis
trict whose skin is black, whose lips
are thick, whose hair Is wooley, whose
nose Is neither Grecian, Roman Aqui-
line or Pug, but broad and dat, and
Septun adTIdnl results in a continuous
bow-like cartilage, who are in fact and
in law, ...AmeLican citizens OF African
descent I" there are many say of
this class among our fellow citizens of
the District of Columbia who are good,
honest, patriotic citizens; whole souled,
INTELLIGENT men; finely educated, veal
thy. liberal minded men who are per-
fectly capable of deciding any and
every question that may arise in our
municipal politics, and hence are
worthy and well qualified to vote, but
such as these are the exception not the
rule, and very far removed from the
poor contraband who is Just awaking
from his wretched sleep OF slavery, who
is Just returning from the field, where
there was little distinction between him
and an animal. It will take at least

BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILRoAD.s
The recent speech of President Gar
rett, at the meeting of the Directors. OF
the Baltimore d Ohio Railroad Is at
tracing much attention here among
railroad men from abroad MI. Car
retDs management of that ROAD curing
the war is looked upon as somewhat
remarkable; the facility with when re-
pairs were made, the immense numper
or troops transported, Notwithstanding
the freduent Interruptions OF the enc
nv, is very highly spoken OF: his
able assistant, Mr.. w. PRESCOTT Smith,
comes IN for a goodly share OF praise,
and he is Justly entitled to it, for GER
tainly no railroad on this continent
claims the services of two men more
able or willing TO do their whole duty,
be it to the Government, or the Stock-
holders of their road. -
The prospects of the Baltimore ana
Ohio railroad are first rate. Inc line OF
ocean steamers, recently started by the
comnany between Baltimore and Liy-
erpooI, is a complete success, receiving
as much freight as they can possibly
curry. Mr.. Garrett, in his address, pro
iects another line of five first class
steamers, of 1000 tons each, between
Baltimore and HaYre. The company
can now, receive cargoes of flour and
produce at, st. Louis, or even farther
West, and deliver it at Liverpool Ihey
can receive emigrants at Liverpool land
soon Mt Hayre,) and carry them direct
b their prospective homes in the great
West. The future of this road and In
connection with it that of West Virgin
ia, are magnificent.
