An Interesting Question with u
Local AppIIcAtIOni

The discovery Of provision In the
Tennessee Constitution forbiddlng Mr..
Henry Cooper to be Senator because
he was member OF the Legislature,
raises nice question. And It Is the
question raised here, but disreGarded,
last winter In the election OF West
Virginia Senator. The only difference
Is that our Constitution forbi1s the
making Of a Senator out OF Governor,
while the Tennessee Legislature will
not allow him to be made out Of
legislator. The Office Is different
but the principle IL identical. The
answer TO the objection here was
that the Constitution OF the United
States prescribed the qualifications OF
U. s. Senators and that no State cons
stitution could therefore dIsqualIfy. So
far as .this!proposlLiou goes 1t seems TO
be unanswerable but does It 60 quite
FAR enough? For instance, we must
say that the fact that Mr.. Cooper wasia
member Of the Legislature did not on
that account alone dIsqualify him 10
be a Senator, II properly elected; but
tho vital question is, was he properly
elected? The members OF the Legis-
lature had no powers but such as were
conferred by their State Constitution. 1t
expressly forbade them to elect man
as Senator who held a seat In the
Legislature; and they were acting un-
der an oath not to violate that Constl-
tuition. But they disregard that oath,
they exceed their powers, and do what
the authority by virtue OF which alone
they act forblds. Is not that action.
therefore, illegal, null and voidH And
II this Is true there, Is It not equally
true OF the election here last winter?
We shall look with curious Interest to
zee what issue this question will have
In Tennessee.

OHIO Co., W. VA, Nov. !, 1860.
WHEREAS, A statement appeared in
the editorial columns OF the Wheeling
lNTRLLlGRNOER Of the 10Th OF October,
1869. charging one Of the Township
Registrars Of Ohio county with having
received money from the Republican
Committee to work for the Republican
party, and afterwards turning round
and working asslduously for the DEM
ocracy, even going to the office OF the
Register for tickets; and, WHEREAS,
The President OF this Board, on the 29,h
day OF October, addressed o letter 10 the
editors Of the INTRLLIaRNORR request
Ing them 10 give the name OF the Reg.
istrar referred TO by them; and WHERE.
AS, They In their reply, simply say
that the President was not The partv

President Of tho Board Of Registration
for Ohio county, W, "a.
J. II. TAPPAN, Clerk Of tho Board.
Now without going into full ex-
animation Of the illogical stupidity OF
this proceeding, We content ourselves
with saying that we do not see what
business the President OF the Board Of
Registration has to be poking his nose
into this matter, 1t 10 not his funeral
nor that OF the Board. What the person
referred to by us did, he did as a Citizen
not In his official capacity as an ap.
polntee Of the Board ; and the Board
OF Rsglstra!lon has no more TO do with
his action than the Board Of Foreign
Missions. We can have no quarrel
with the Board, for there Is no ground
for one unless the Board makes 1t. The
President Of the Board appears to have
weakness for seeing his name In print,
and allows his anxiety In this respect
10 over ride the barriers OF common
sense and proprlety. Whenever he will
show us that he has any occasion to
put In his oar In this business we shall
Dc very happy to take his tremendous
charge" In consideration. But we do
not choose to discuss an issue OF fact
