Our gentle writings of Governor
FOREMAN upon the departure Of troops
from Monroe county, seem to have Sc
riously disturbed the equanimity of his
Excellency. The Intelligencer, like a
faithful Court journal, comes to the
royal rescue, with semi-oficial assur-
ance that "the withdrawal was not
unknown in advance to Governor BORE
MAN." This may be true, but if so, it
was surely quite naughty in that dig
nitary to create the false impression
which the following portion of his mes
sage was likely to produce:
"In this aspect of affairs it became
apparent that the laws could not be en-
forced by the civil authorities and that
military aid was necessary for the pur-
pose; and on application to General
Grant, q small detachment of United
States troops has been stationed ut
Union, in Monroe county, rhere they ciR
remain, no doubt, until order and security
are restored"
The message from which the
above is taken bears date January 18th,
while the troops in question, left
the town of Union on the 1lth inst,
four days prior to the time at which the
Governor assured the Legislature that
they were not only at hand, but could
remaia "until order and security should
be restored" ~
If their Withdrawal was not un-
known in advance" why does he sub
sequently declare their presencef If ii

Equa!izina Representation.

The Legislature of West Virginia, as
everybody knows, has ratified the Con-
Stitutional Amendment. The Governor
of West Virginia, in his late message,
set forth, at length, the arguments in
favor of incorporating this Amendment
into the Constitution. As an interpre-
ter of its purpose, he will, we appre-
bend, be regarded as standard authori-
ty. He has informed us that the Con-
stitutional Amendment is intended "to
equalizc the representation in Congress
from all the States, North and South,
by basing it very nearly, though not
precisely, on those whom the States recog-
ni.e as entitled 10 a rOice in their gOrerR-
mcnfs." 1t is not our intention to say,
for we do not believe, that as a
universal thug this Amendment
will base representation on voters,
and indeed Governor BoREMAN admits
rs much, but ,.e do desire to declare
tHht INC pdit w WHICH thc boNSihOi 10
the exponent, are committed to the
principle of representing only those
whom the State recognizes as entitled to
a voice in the Government" Have our
law makers sufficient regard for con-
sistency to apply this principle in regu-
lating representation in the State Legis-
laturei If voters form the proper basis
of representation in Congress, there is
no just cause for establishing different
basis for the Legislature. This is espe-
cially true in State like ours, where,
according to existing regulations, the
voter of one section has from three to
ten times as much political power as
the voter of another quarter of the
State.
At the last election, there were cast
in Ohio county 4,305 votes, and these
elected three members Of the Legisla-
tere. In the counties of Greenbrier
and Monroe, there were returned at the
same election 467 votes, and these
elected hree members Of the Leg
isIdtare, In other words, the voter in
Greenbrier and Monroe counties has
just ten times Us much political power
as the voter in Ohio. In the counties of
Harrison. Marion and Marshall, there
were east at the October election 5,T1
votes, electing six members to the House.
In the counties of Pocahontas,
Webster, Pendleton, Mercer, Mon
roe and Greenbrier, there were
east at the same election 1,19l
votes, and these also elected six dele
gates. What justice is there in the ap-
portionment which gives one man in
Webster county the power to overbal-
ance the ballots of FIVE men in Mar
shalli Yet such is precisely the result
under the present apportionment. In
order that there may be no quibbling or
hair-splitting about the loyalty" of
any voters here enumerated, let US look
at this question from what our Radical
friends would call q "strictly loyal7
standpoint. Ritchis county cast for
Governor BoRKxAN 5g votes, and

The foregoing counties cast de-
ciled majority Of the votes given at
the October election, the entire num-
Der cast for the gubernatorial candidates
being 4O,435. These votes are repre-
sented in the House of Delegates by
nineteen members, just one third of the
entire number. The remaining cOun-
ties, having a minority Of the votes,
19,2l2) are represented by thirty-eight
delegates, just two-thirds of the whole
number.
We submit it to our Legislature as
a question of justice, involving the in
terests of Radicals and Democrats
alike, ought so great an in
equality to be tolerated. This
is no mere partizan ARRANGE
ment by which one party is in
iured for another's benefit, but it is a
condition of affairs which places the
wealth, population, and resources, of
the great voting majority which the
Northwest represents, at the mercy of
the minority formed by the voters
of the interior, Southern and East
ern counties of the State. We are
aware that under the Constitution, no
new apportionment can be made until
after the next census, and we are also
satisfied that upon the present basis
of representating, no new appoint
ment would remove the difficulty.
But, since the Legislature claims to
have endorsed the principle that none
but voters should be represented, it is
nothing more than consistent that they
should now make a practical applica-
ton of the doctrine. This will place
the Northwest upon an equality with
other portions of the State, and she GER
tainly has right to demand the adop-
tion of provision so essential to her
own protection, and SO equitable to
other sections.
An amendment to the Constitution,
fixing the basis of representation in the
Legislature, upon voters rather than
upon population, would relieve all diff
culties. If it be adopted at this and
the next session Of the Legislature, it
can be ratified in time to take effect
when the next apportionment is made.
If it be not acted upon speedily, the
next census will find the basis OF
representation still unchanged, and
and the apportionment of 1870 will but
renew the injustice under which men of
this section Of all parties are now labor
ing. 1t remains to be seen whether our
Radical friends have as much regard
for equal representation in the Legis.
lature, as they profess to feel for equal.

should have twice the representation OF

Mercer with only 363 "loyal' votes
have also two representatives. Is
Marshall comfy '1oyalty" at such
discount, or is Mercer county patriotism
at such premium that this inequality
should evisti
These are merely specimen facts illus
trative Of the injustice arising from the
present apportionment of members Of
the Legislature. If the investigation
be pursued, similar results will always
arise, when comparison is instituted
between the representation and voters
of counties in this section, and those OF
the remote or border bounties of the
State. The inequality which we have
pointed oat is one that should be re-
moved as speedily as possible. What
ever political aspect the case may be
thought to have, no man can justify the
principle of representation by which
the voter of one county is invested with
the political power of six men in an
other county. 1t is wrong in itself, it is
grievously oppressive to portion of the
people, and it is seriously detrimental
to the interests of the entire State. An
illustration of its workings may be
found in the settlement of q single ques-
tion now pending before the Legisla-
ture. The Capital of West Virginia
will probably be located by majority
in the Legislature, who represent an in
significant minority of the voters, and
so it may be of other subjects ofimport-
ance to the State at large. Perhaps the
following table will be of use in eluci-
dating this subject. 1t gives the vote
which each county therein named, cast
