More Malignity.

We learn from responsible source
that the Marion county Board of Regis
tration have resolved to register no
more names in that county prior to the
October election. Under the law it is
the duty of the Boards at the regular
| meeting on the first Monday in October,
to hear appeals from township regis
trars, to try the cases of parties duly
notified to appear before them for trial,
and to reeeire original applications from
parties who may show good Cause for not
having applied to the township regis
trars. We quote as follows from sec
ton 80 of the Registration Law:
81. The regular meeting of the board
of registration of each county shall be
held at the county seat thereof on the
first Monday in October in each year,
1t shall be the duty of the said board at
such regular meeting to hear, try and
determine all appeals from the decisions
of registrars, taken by persons whose
applications for registration have been
rejected; also to hear, try aud deter
mine the cases of all persons upon whom
notice has been served as provided
for in the preceding section, and to re-
ceire, act upon, and decide original dpph-
ca tions for registration in cases where the
applicant shows good cause for not
having made such application to the
registrar of his township or ward.
Clearly, then, the Marion county
Board have violated the law in resolving
to register no names at its October
meeting. A plainly defined duty has
been shirkedS an explicit provision of
the law has been set aside; the Board
have become law unto themselves.
Were the Governor of the State dis
posed to do his duty in this matter, such
monstrous derelictions would not be
tolerated. As it is, the Board and others
will repeat their iniquitous disfranchise-
ment whenever they deem proper. The
failure of the Executive to restrain them
is their warrant of approval. Depend
upon it, they will act on it.
This Marion county Board is part
of the FOREMAN legacy. Governor STE
vENsoN had it in his power to prevent
repetition in Marion county OF the
registration enormities which occurred
there under his predecessor. He did
not do so. If men are to be judged by
their acts, he preferred not to do so.
And now asSthe legitimate result, we
see the most disgracefG measures of
disfranchisement matured and put in
operation.
Can it be possible that liberal Repub'
licans can witness these things without
protesting against them' They profess
to regard the prescription of rebels as
not only useless but an unjust and a
dangerous act. And yet the unlawful ,
arbitrary disfranchisement of men as
much entitled to vote as themselves is
perpetrated almost under their we're
noses, without their remonstrance.
Surely they could exert some inhuenc
in preventing these disgraceful acts if
they would.

tages resulting from she construction OF
so great work.
This road should be, beyond all ques-
tion, the most beneficial to the material
interests of West Virginia, of any now
in contemplation, 1t will pass through
and develop vast region, stored with
incalculable wealth. Timber, coal, iron,
salt and other minerals fill the Kanawha
valley and need but An outlet to bring
back to that country such retnrBs as
will make the people rich and prosper
GUS beyond their utmost expectations.
With the completion of this road, giving,
as it will, Southern and Central West
Virginia direct and easy access to the
seaboard and the West, We ought to see
the vast manufacturing facilities Of the
country thoroughly utilized. Its rich
but untenanted farming lands
should be brought to notice, pur-
chased and settled. Immigrants should
flow in with great rapidity as the ad-
vantages of the county become known,
and the Kanawha Valley should soon
become the centre of West Virginia
wealth and population. And should it
be determined to remove the Capital to
Charleston, it cannot be denied that the
completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio
road, with the certainty that it must be
tapped by another road, bisecting the
State North and South, may have its
weight in finally reconciling the people
to change that now seems ill-advised
and premature.
Yet one thing We lack, one thing we
must have before internal i'm
provements can have their proper influ-
ence in building up our State. We went
free, liberal and progressive Govern
ment. Prescription, intolerance and
disfranchisement will 90 very far to-
ward neutralzing the beneficial effects
of public enterprises. We have already
railroad connections from the Northern
portions of the State with the West,
North and East. The Baltimore and
Ohio road weekly carries its hundreds
of immigrants through the State, but
none stop to hunt homes in our midst
No capitalist now brings his money to
this part of West Virginia for invest
ment; our manufacturing sites are unoc-
cupied; our water power scarcely turns a
factory wheel and our minerals slumber
in the earth. We cannot help thinking
the policy of the State in so prescribing
her people as to drive hundreds of
them out of the State, has had its effect
in keeping men of other sections from
coming into the State. Capital and en-
terprise shun localities where legisla.
tion is arbitrary and oppressive. The
known tendency of bad laws such as
our to make bad citizens, causes people
to be cautious about settling in State
governed like ours.
Let us reform all this. AS public i'm
provements progress in our midst let
us also progress. Let US lift our legis-
lation above the sphere of prejudice.
make it broad, liberal, just, and thus
bring about that harmony and unity
among our own people which is essen
tial to the substantial progress of all
communities.

Pointed ParnRranh

The Clarksburg Conservative pays its
respects to a irst-class celebrity in the
following ''brief mention:"
General Harris, of the Mrs. Surratt
murderers, was in town Monday even
ing, with as much hair on bis face and
as little brainsiu his head as when the
Southern Confederaey refused his prof
fer of "disloyalty" to the "best Govern
ment God ever made" in consideration
of a commission from Jefferson Davis.
He has been to G. A. +. encampment
at Buckhapnon. If General Harris had
sense enough, he would do as did a
couple of others of Mrs. Surratt noto-
suicide.

GOVERNOR STEVENSON will remove
any registrar of whose unfitness or dis
honesty he can be convinced. But the
trouble is he could not be convinced
though the dead rose to testify. His
professions Of fairness, when measured
by his resolute determination not to act,
are nothing but tub thrown to the
whale of public opinion.

"OUR DAILY BREAD" "

A beggar boy stopped at rich mans door
II am homeless and friendless, and faint and
posr"
Said the beggar boy, as the tear drop rolled
Down his thin cheek, blanched with want and
cold,
"Oh, pive me crust from your beard to-day,
To help the begg boy on his way!'
Not a crust nor q crumb' " the rich man said,
"Be off and work for your daily bread
The rich man went to the parish church.
His face grew grave as he trod the porch;
And the thronging poor, the untaught mass,
Drew back to let the rich man pass.
The service began the choral hymn
Arose and swelled through the leng aisles dim.
The rich man knelt, and the words he said
We're Give us this day our daily bread.

GOVERNOR STEVENSON processes to
know no party in his administration of

a single rascally registrar except upon
the application of Republicans, and not
then unless the proscriptive demagogues
who are benefited by the retention of the
rascal, consent to his removal. Witness
the case of CALDWELL in Greenbrier

 This may be done by abandoning about one third of the military posts now established,
 many of which are so scantiIy manned that they can hardly afford an escort of ten men to be absent for one week, and by distributing the troops ilvalidated under this present arrange ment among the posts to be retained.

Company shut down all works on their mines
This is very unexpected and as a natural re-
suit caused considerable excitement among
the Treasureites. There is considerable spec
ulatlon regarding the caDse of the work being
stopped. Some say it is done in consequence
OF a lawsuit. Others say il is done to effect
consolidation with several other mines. But
we understand from one authority the change
of programme was caused by the mill being
supplied with ore enough To run through the

this time than can be reduced would be
waste of money. We have heard it rumored
that the men would soon be put at work again.
