Robinson Cru.oe,. Successor

The Island of Juan Fernandez, which
has been made so world-renowned by
that wonderful book of Daniel Defoe
has again attracted attention. After
having been used as penal colony by
Chilli, and then abandoned, and then
occupied by American sailor for many
years, it has now been settled again by
Robert Wehrman, a Saxon engineer
of an adventurous turn, who has
gone there with a little colony OF
some sixty souls, men, women and chill
dren. They have taken with them ag-
ricultural implements, horses, cows and
sheep, and are determined to realize
some of the delights Robinson Crusoe
enjoyed. The Germans are great work
ers, and they will make this beautiful
little island blossom like the rose"
The engineering skill of Wehrman will
find an ample field for exercise. 1t
would not be surprising if it became a
fashionable place of resort, have MORN
ing paper and submarine cable con
necting it with the outside barba-
rians. The only difficulty in our having
O cable between us and Juan Fernandez
is that it is 50 small there is no place to
fasten it to, and in the event OF an
earthquake it might be pulled up alto
gether, or else jerked under the sea and
all the Crusoers ducked to death. 1t is
dangerous experiment for n country
liks this to have in tow little spots Of
earth like England and Juan Fernandez.

On Monday we showed that Mr.. HUB
BARD's Constitutional Amendment to
confer suffrage impartially upon "alI
the citizens of the State" would simply
give the ballot to the Union mer who
are disfranchised by the registration
law. and to the negroes, and that 1t
would not reach the case of the rebels
who under the last Amendment to our
State Constitutions are not citizens. The
Intelligencer gives respectability to its
columns by quoting our language upon
this point, as follows:
"All the citizens Of the State" says
his platform. But under the Constltu-
tion of West Virginia, according to its
express terms, rebels are not citizens.
Mr.. Hubbard's amendment would not
reach their cases at all. 1t would sim
ply give the ballot to the Union men
who are now prescribed under the reg
istration law, and to the negroes.
To which the IRtelligencer replies thus
Now the gentleman who penned that
paragraph knew perfectly well that so
far as the State Constitution undertakes
to say the rebels "shall not be citizens"
it is "a complete nullity; because the
XIVth Article of the Constitution of the
United States declares they are clti-
zens; and the Constitution of the United
States "is the supreme law OF the land,
anything in the constitution or laws OF
any State to the contrary notwithstand'
ing"
Just so. Now whenever the Radical
party shall cease to enfore such of its
acts as are contrary to the Constitution
of the United States, and therefore null,
we may be able to see some point in the
reply. The various Test Oaths in our
State, being of the nature of bills Of
pains and penalties, eIpost facto laws and
laws retrospective in their action, are
lust as thorough "nullities," so far a:
their constitutionality is concerned, as
partisan usurpations can be. The inteth
Qencer man may satisfy himself of this
by reading the decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the GAR
LAND and CUMMINGS cases from Mis-
souri,. Still the fact that the Lawyer
Oath is nullity and has been SO de
cided, does not prevent the Radical
party from enforcing it, OF from impeach
ing any State Judge who may refuse tc
enforce it.
The policy ofthe "loyap party accord
ing to the late Mr.. STEVENS is to aci
"outside the Constitution" and to en-,
force all sorts of unconstitutional act:
and "nullities." When they begin to re
spect that instrument by the abrogatior
Of such "nullities" as the various Test
Oaths, including the Voters Oath, We
may be induced to believe that the!
will not enforce the "nullity" which
deprives the rebel of citizenship. II
the meantime, however, we prefer t.
believe what we see, that the Radical
party does deny the citizenship o
the rebel, and therefore that he is mo-
ireached by Mr., HUBBARD's Amendment

Mr. Hubbard aud the Rcgisiraiion
LAW

The Mtelligencer makes prodigiou:
effnrt to show that this Mr.. HUBBARD il
in favor of the repeal of the obnOxiou:
features of the registration law. In or
der to effect this, it shows that he sign
ed an address, some time back, which
hintsd at some shadowy sort of amend
ment to that law.
We believe it is usSal to judge poll.
ticians by their latest utterances. For
example: Mr.. HUBBARD was opposed to
negro suffrage three years ago, if his
ewn assertion was worth anything. But
in view of later acts, he could hardly be
called an anti-negro suffrage man to-
day. Last Fall he favored allowing the
loyal States to control the question of
suffrage themselves. Now he favors
giving control of that subject to the
General Government by the Fifteenth
Amendment. Will the Intelligenoer say
that, because he occupied the former
position in 1863, he does not occupy the
latter in 1867 Mr.. HUBBARD may have
been in favor of the insubstantial
amendment of the registration law two
months ago, but, judging by his past
performances in political gymnastics,
that would not prevent from opposing it,
as he clearly did oppose it by the strong
est implication last Saturday.
We have said that professional poll
ticians are generally judged by their
latest utterances. Tho same may be
said of parties. As the last will made
is the valid one 80 the platform aud
speech of Mr.. HUBBARD in the Ohio
county Republican Convention, may be
regarded as the last and truest will, the
dying testament of the Republican
party iu Ohio couaty. Now what says
the platform aud what says Mr. HUB
BARD. The fourth resolution favors the
removal sf the inequalities imposed By
legislative act" Mr.. HUBBARD explain
ed these to be "the Test Oaths for Suit
ors, Lawyers and Teachers" Here he
stopped. This editor ofthe IntettigeRcer,
seeing that Mr.. HUBBARD was botchiug
the business, reported him as saying
that the "inequalities" mentioned re
ferred to the Test Caths for Lawyers,
SuitOrs, Teachers &.," leaving 1t possi-
BILE to conclude that the "&c." meant
the registration law. But the editor
reported him falsely. Mr.. HUBBARD
limited the inequalities entirely to the
three Test Oaths we have quoted, as the
editor of the Mtelligencer well knows
With Mr.. HUBRARD's explanation that
the party meant to repeal these oaths and
allow the registration law to remain as
it is, the Convention adopted his reso-
luton and nominated him. We repeat
then that if Mr. HUBBAED's dying testa-
ment means anything, it means that he
and his party want the registration law
to be maintained long after their politl-
cal decease.
