WHAT IS BE DONE.

The Staunton Spectator endorses the
action OF. the Convention and urges zeal
and unity, as follows:
The Convention did, in our opinion,
the wisest thing it could have done in
the circumstances by which it was sur
rounded. 1t did enough and not too
much. All lament the circumstances
which made it unwise to do more. We
should have likedto see the chosen leaders
and worthy standard bearers of the Con-
sentative party remain in the field, and
deeply regret the existence of circum-
stances which made it a patriotic duty
for them to resign the positions assigned
them. They won honor by tie gallant
and efficient service they rendered in the
canvass they prosecuted wish puca zeal
and vigor, and added browning glory
to it by tho manner in which they re-
signed their positions in obedience to the
dictates Of patriotic duty. Such patriotic
and self-sacrifciug conduct deserves to
&c rewarded, and we hope The time will
arrive when it will be. They MORT the
award "Well done, good and faithful
servants"
We would earnestly invoke the Con-
servatives of the State to guard sedu
lousy against what we conceive now to
be our greatest danger-listless indiffsr-
ence and want of proper apprecia-
ton of the fact that it is absolutely ne
cessary that all who can do 20 should
attend the polls on the day of election
and vote, and that those who have not
registered should do so as soon as the
registration books shall be again opened,
and be sure to vote
None should fail to vote at the next
election. Cast your votes then, if you
never vote again. The man who shall
fail to vote then, will probably have
cause to regret it as long as he shall
live, and his children, who will be the
suffering victims of the remssness, will
curse his memory. Do your duty
register aud vote.

THE GIST OF THE MATTER.

The Danville Register puts its reAec-
tions upon our political situation and
the action of the Convention into nut
shell, in this wise:
We are satisfied that the Convention
paved the way for the best results that
can be wrought out of the opportunities
to come.
There are number of objects to be
secured in the approaching election and
We will mention some of them in what
seems to us the order of their impor-
lance:
LIST. THE defeat of obnoxious clauses
Of thu constitution submitted for a sep
arate vote. This is clearly m,tter Of
life and death.
I'd. Tbs election Of Legislature of
able and good mel. That body, under
the authority vested by the new cousti-
tuition, will be able to do the people
great good or great evil. Tae first Leg
islature may shape our future.
Sd. The defeat of Wells.
4th. The selection of honest and eff
Gent county officers, for our domestic
arrangements may in great measure
mitigate the evils Of the naw constitu-
ton.
9th. The election of members of
Congress whose interests are identified
with ours.
Now We submit that it is worth the
trouble to help secure either one of these
distinct objects, and therefore, every in
dividual should be prepared to vote, as
every one will feel an interest in one
thing or another. Unless you register
you cannot vote for or against any man
or any measure.

Eas- MIR. Walker, says the Lynchburs
Republican, gives assurance Of desire
to see every opportunity afforded to the
citizens Of Virginia. to bring their State
back to Congress in accordance with the
policy of Congress, but with no more
sacrifice Of political liberty and privilege
than is absolutely unavoidable and in
evitable. He is at heart friendly to-
wards those With whom be has identified
himself since tho war, and il elected, his
administration will be characterized by
spirit of justice, desire to secure
their legal rights to all, and to extend
to every citizen the privileges OF citi-
zenship, He has large property in
vested in Virginia; be came to this
State TO make such Investment and he
is interested with every property holder
and every taxi payer in Virginia in the
adoption of such a constitution, and the
establishment of such legislation as will
secure to property the right of voice
in It's assessment and taxation. mas
much then as Mr.. Walker is ia favor of
the rejection Of the Objectionable features
of the Constitution, because he deems
such rejection to be just and prudent
and thoroughly in accordance with the
principles of enlightened and liberal
craftsmanship, we consider that he holds
very different position before the pub
lie from that recently assumed by Gov.
Wells, who has yielded to tile political
pressure which has been brought to
bear upon him, with al eye simply and
purely for bis own success, and without
the slightest sympathy for tho interests
of T. large majority of tho citizens Of
Virginia, over wbon he is SO an zious to
retain his political power. r

Senator Sprague has purchased q
tract of about 200 acres, in South Caro-
lima, containing portion of the Conga-
rec Canal, at little over $40, 00O,w with
the States right in the canal itself. The
water-power of the canal is ono of the
best in the State, except the mountain
streams 10 the back country. The cons
ditions of the sale by the State to Sena-
tor Sprague are, that be is to complete
some unfinished digging and when it
is done, the power attainabe viii be
from 40 to 1864 horsepower. The
cost of putting the canal in working

that he is TO break ground during the

IMPORTANT DECISION BY CHIEF
( JUSTICE CHASE.

Richmond, May 10..-Chief Justice
Chase this morning delivered his opin-
on on the appeal from Judge Under
woods decision in the District Court,
declaring null the sentence of Judge
Shelley, Of the Estate Court, on the
ground of Judge Sheffey's ineligibility
under the Fourteenth Amendment.
The case was that of Cesar Griffin, a
doored man, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary tor shooting a man. The
Chief Justice read the opinion of the
Court, aud holding that State govern
ncut in Virginia had been recognized
81 during the war by Congress, first at
Wheeling and then at Alexandria. The
action of that government in dividing
.he State had been recognized by the
Federal Government, and Senators and
Representatives, elected by that govern
ment had been allowed seats il Con-
gross. 1t was under this government
that Judge Shelley had been appointed,
aud he was, therefore, legal Judge as
far as State government was concerned.
The question now arose as to whether,
being ineligible, he was absolutely re-
moved by the operation of the Four
tenth Amendment. The United States
District Judge had decided that he was |;
this kind great attention is properly
paid to the argument Of Inconvenience,
ana construction which must ueces-
sarily occasion great public and private
mischief, must never be preferred to a
construction which will occasion neither,
in SO great degree, unless the terms OF
the instrument absolutely require such
preference.
Thu opinion here, shows the anarchy
which would be produced in State by
declaring past legal proceedings void.
1t then considers the character and in
tent of the third section of the Four
teenth Amendment, which are declared
20 be punitive.
It is clearly against the provisions OF
the Constitution, which deny to the leg
islative authority the power to deprive
any person of life, liberty or property,
without due process o! law, or 20 pass
expost facto laws, and these, if there
were no other grounds, are e2sons for
seeking another Interpretation Of the
Amendment, than that asked by toe
prisoners counsel. The Fourteenth
Amendment is not self-enforcing, and
needs further legislation Of Congress to
enforce it; and two months after the
judg,nent--now being revised-was de-
livered, Congress passed joint rcsolu-
ton providing for the removal of all in.
eligible of1icers-showing that persons
then holding Office, were held to be de
facto officers; and also providing the
means for their removal by the mill
tary.
Tho Court said that the Supreme
Court had unanimously concurred IN
the opinion that prisoner sentenced
by Judge dc facto, though not judge
de jure, could not be reached by habeas
corpus.
The decision of the District Court was
reversed, and Caesar Griffin remanded
to the State authorities.
In the United States Circuit Court
this morning, Jeter Phillips was sem
fenced TO be hung next Friday, for wife
murder, upon the writ of habeas corpus.
He, too, was remanded to the State au-
thorities on the ground that he was
sentenced before the Fourteenth Amend
neot was promulgated.
