to the provisions of this article" Here
much is left to the discretion of the Gen
eral Assembly. In passing the neces-
sary laws, that body may prescribe THE
TIME when the system shall 60 into OPP
Grafton; and in arranging the details,
as to regulating the pay, &C., of these
officials, much may be done in mitiga-
ton of the burdens imputed to the en-
tire system. And here is the strength
of our argument which inculcates the
utmost wisdom and care in the choice
OF the members of our first Legislature,
which is to pass the measures necessary
Tor putting in motion the new govern
ment, and thus soften as much as may
be possible the rigors of the new sys-
tenn.
We submit to the opponents of the
Constitution, in treating of this subject,
that the people will expect arguments
and details, and not wholesale estimates
and denunciat1ons. The public mind
cannot be influenced nor enlightened by
the bare statement made by morning
paper, and no authority given, that the
estimated cost of the " county organiza-
ton" twill not be less than SO 900, OOO,''
when even the pay of the officers pro-
vided for by it has not been fixed, mol
any of the expenses ascertained. Nc
man, with his eyes open, can be- de-
ceived by any such an estimate II
will be better to deal candidly and fair
ly with all subjects of controversy, and
" keep probability in view" in our est.
mates, especially when we seek to in.
fluence the people upon policy or
which such vital and momentous conse
quences are depending.

HAMILTON FISH, Secy. of State.

The ship Andrew Jackson, Captain
Field, from Calcutta, January 14th, ar
rived at Boston on Thursday with the
most valuable East India cargo ever
brought to that port, one item OF which
is 551 chests of indigo, the largest
amount of that article ever received in
Boston by one ship. The indigo alone
is valued at $415, 900. She has besides
large quantities of other products of the
East, which will swell the total value
of the cargo to $500 900.
A large meeting of the Typographical
Union of Washington city, was held
Saturday night, five hundred printers
being present. After a stormy session the
apprentice quarrel with Clapp, and the
recognition Of the negro Douglass as a
member of the Union, were postponed
to the June meeting. o..
Thew had quite a horse-whipping
match between two honorable gentle
men at Council Bluff, Iowa, few days
ago. These Western people are great
fellows. When they have no enemy to
fog they proceed to thrash one another.
1t is stated that the United States
bonds purchased by the assistant treas
urer in New York are to be endorsed
over to the Secretary of the Treasury in
trust for the United States, and when
sent to Washington will be stamped or
mutilated in some way to prevent any
resale.

THE MODE OF VOTING.

Upon the appearance of the Presidents
Proclamation ordering an election in
Virginia, (which our readers will find in
our paper this morning much discus
sion ensued among the people, and con-
siderable uncertainty prevailed in the
public mind as to the threefold oper alton
of the ballots directed to be cast--for
the vote is to be divided in such way
as apparently (theugh not really COM
pficates the matter. That part of the
proclamation pertinent to our present
inquiry reads as follows:
"Each voter favoring the ratification
of the Constitution, and excluding the
provisions above quoted, as framed by
the Convention of December Sd, 1867,
shall express his judgment by voting
for the Constitution.
"Each voter favoring the rejection of
the Constitution and excluding the pro-
visions above quoted, shall express his
judgment by voting against the Consti-
tuition.
''Each voter will be allowed to cast
separate vote for or against either or
both of the provisions above quoted"
Here it will be observed that the first
two paragraphs give the voter the OPP
portunity of expressing his mind for or
against the Constitution denuded of the
test-oath and the disiranchisement in
one box. A voter may be in favor of
including both, or in favor of one and
not of the other. Accordingly, under
the last clause, an opportunity is afford
ed for voting absolutely for or against
both, Or for one and against the other;
and the character of the Constitution is
affected by the majority shown in these
two latter votes. If the majority vote
for the test-oath and disfranchisement,
and the Constitution is also carried, both
will be retained in the instrument. If
the majority vote against them, and the
Constitution is carried, they go out. If
one is carried and not the other, that
one which has the majority remains,
and the other, being rejected, goes out.
If the majority vote against the Consti-
tuition, in any event as to the clauses, it
is rejection out and out. and the whole
thing fails. So that, we rather think,
upon the whole, that the people of Vir-
ginia, under this arrangement, will
have about as fair an opportunity of ex-
pressing their minds as can be desired.
Now, then, let us all register and vote,
have fair field, do our duty honorably
and manfully, and we cannot doubt the
result will be fortunate to Virginia and
her people.
