of last Saturday .by gentleman from Sussex
that one of the most singular and violent hail
storms ever Witnessed passed over section of
Frankford on Wednesday last, commencing
about twelve o'clock, and lasting three hours.
The thunder and lighting were terrific,
the rain fell in torrents, and
hail stones, as large as hen eggs descended
in showers with terrific force. The citizens were
considerably excited. and alarmed at the
tierceness of the elements and the unusual ac-
compartments of the storm, and the contrabands
at work in the swamps were dumbfounded with
terror when the big hail stones began to rattle
about their ears. The fruit trees and growing
crops sustained great damage from the wind and
hail Just think of it-a hail storm, with the
thermometer at 100 degrees!"

The state Normal schools.

We are informed that each OF our
three State Normal Schools begins its
next session on Monday, September
18th prox. These schools seem TO be
obtaining very considerable promi-
uence and success, and appeal very
strongly 10 the confidence and support
Of the people We need, and we must
have. schools Of some sort II we have
only poor teachers for them their
quality must thereby aud necessarily
lie poor And, if their quality is poor,
there is absolutely nothing that can
compensate the loss 10 our children.
Good Normal Schools will produce good
teachers and Danish poor ones.
The Guyandotte School, at Marshall
college, has already been able TO gradu-
ate one promising class. It will CON
linue as heretofore, under the able man
agement OF Prof 5. R THOMPSON.
Prejudices that formerly existed have
been allayed, and the school now seems
10 enjoy the entire confidence Of the
public. Its new building, with liz new
ilrniture, increased apparatus and
greater accommodation adds largely
to its attractiyeness.
The second school, that at Fairmont,
has suffered the loss OF its principal,
Prof. WHITE, who has resigned to re-
move West The State owes Prof
WHITE lasting debt Of gratitude tor
his efficient and earnest efforts in build
ing up the school system of the State.
The Normal Board are negotiating for
a successor, who will unite ripe scholar
ship to thorough acquaintance with
normal methods, and who has had many
years experience in conducting prom
inent Normal School. They expect to
have first class man in the place, by
the opening Of the school. None need
hesitate in the least on this ground
The building OF the West Liberty
School is being put in thorough repair,
which will be accomplished before the
time OF opening, Prof CRAGo, the
principal, taught very successful term

would never attempt such an outrage
if they were not legged on but
against the infamous wretches who in
this way make tools Of the negroes.
Since the arrest Of the registrars the
Radicals seem TO fear their end is at

The enforcement, Act.

In compliance with the request of
our friends in several quarters of the
State, we publish this morning the full
text of what is generally called the
Enforcement Act. 1t will he observed
that it is not simply, rs it has been
sometimes styled, an act to enforce the
fifteenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution, and therefore inapplicable
to any citizens except the negroes en-
franchised by that Amendment Its
title says nothing about the negroes or
any constitutional amendment whatever,
hut declares that it is IAN act to enforce
the right of citizens of the United
States to vote in the several States of
this Union and for other purposes.
In its application 10 our registration
law in this State, we hold that the act
of Congress compels the registration of
legally qualified voters, that is, Of those
who are voters under the Constitution
of the State of West Virginia, as well
as of the negroes who have been en-
iranchised by the fifteenth Amend
ment The registration law, by impos
ing no penalties upon registrars for the
neglect of their duties or for the most
glazing violations of the law itself, has
permitted irresponsible and unscrupu-
lous men to exercise absolute control
over the suffrage of the people OF this
State. Our State Constitution defines
the qualifications of voters, but the
registrars have heretofore exercised
their own discretion as to whether or
not they would permit the citizen to
vote. In thousands Of cases they have
either refused registration To- or after

registration have stricken from the
lists. men who possess all the, qualihs
cations required by tlie Codstitation Of
the State. To these cases the act of
Congress applies, and coppels the reg.
istrar to record their names and the
officers of elections 10 receive Their
votes.
We do, not contend that this act con-
fers the right of suffrage upon white
men in West Virginia who were en-
gagged in rebellion; it simply eniorces
the right of our citizens to vote when
they possess the, necessary const
tional qualifications Every male cltl'
zen who is not minor, nor Of unsoundl
mind, nor a convict, and 'who did not
give aid and comfort to the rebellion, is
entitled to vote Ii the registrar re-
fuses to enter the name of such per
son upon the list Of voters, he renders
himself liable to the penalties imposed
BY this act, and even though unregis-
tered, the voter may compel thejnspec-
tor of elections to receive and count
his vote, as is, set forth inc the third
section of the act.
The right OF the Federal Congress to
interfere in the regulation of the suf-
frage in the several States, we do not
and will not concede. But the act has
been passed by a Radical Congress and
approved by Radical President, and is
being enforced as law. twas intend
ed mainly for the benefit of negroes,
and for the oppression of white men
We have been told that while the act
was under discussion in Congress, twas
admitted by some of the Radical men,
bers that it would operate to their dis
advantage in this State, but they felt
compelled to sacrifice West Virginia
for the sake of the negro vote in the
South. But while denying the right of
Congress to pass such an act, and de-
nouncirg the motivea which induced its
passage, we are determined to avail our
selves OF all the advantage it affords,

General Harris i'm the Wrong Pew.

General Harris, of Surratt notoriety,
has found his peregrinations in this part
of the State to be much more unpleas-

little episode, which occurred in Gilmer
