Enforce the Constitution.

We observe that some OF our eX-
changes throughout the State are COM
menting upon section Is, article w. OF
the Constitution, and urging its enforce
ment. The section reads: No person
holding an office of profit under this
State or the United States shall be a
member of the Legislature. Hereto
fore, several persons have held seats in
the Legislature who also held the office
of Prosecuting Attorney in their respec-
tive counties, and at least two persons
have been elected to the Legislature this
fall, who hold this Office. If the Prose,
cutting Attorneyship is not ian office OF
profit under this State" of course these
gentlemen are entitled to their seats; il
it is, they should be required to relin'
ouish one or the other The Democ'
racy cannot afford to initiate the Radi'
Gals in disregarding the provisions OF
the organic law.

Hamnshirc COunty-Omclel.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that the formerly published vote of
Hampshire county in this paper and
elsewhere, is incorrect, the Democratic
majority being larger than has been
heretofore stated. The figures formerly
published were: JACOB, 4I5; STEVEN
BON, %. The following is the correct
official vote:
Jacob, 4S4; Stevenson, 50; majority,
395. Phelps, AS; Pipes, 90; majority,
3S5; Bennett, 474; Boggess, 90, ma,
iority, 3S4. Burdett, 4I6; Macauley,
SO; majority, 3S7. Sprigg, Al; Cald-
well, Of; majority, $50. Moore, All 4;
Brown, 50: majority, $50. For Con
gress-Downey, 474; McGrew, 81 ma
iority, 3S3. For Senate-H. G. Davis,
1876; Flick, ll6; majority, 800
An error also occurred in the publ
cation of the vote at Romncy, by which
i: appeared that Governor JACOB ran
behind the other candidates on the
Democratic ticket at that place, when
the fact is that he ran considerably
ahead, as was to be expected in his
own town and where he is best known.
Governor JACOB made an active and
most efficient canvass during the recent
cam paign. and by hio Oplendid ability
and pleasing manners won hosts Of
friends and hundreds Of votes. 1t
is a matter of just pride to West
Virginians that we have at last

the track at the above named place

was impossible for the engineer on the

rbe uls.or, of Disrranehiscment.

An article from the Charleston
Courier, which we copy elsewhere, dis
cusses the manner of getting rid OF the
proscriptive legislation upon the statute
books of West Virginia. We believe
that the argument presented concerning
the illegality OF the whole system Is
quite correct, but would suggest that II
could be made still stronger 10y going
back further into the history Of diStran,
chisement in this State than to the pas
sage of the first registration act IN lS66.
Disfranchisement dates one year earlier
than that The following is q history
Of the question Of suffrage in West Nir-
ginia, in so far as relates to the so-called
ratification Of the Constitutional Am
endment of 1866, upon which all sub
seouent acknowledgements were osten-
sibly based.
All persons who were qualified voters
under the Constitution and laws of the
State of Virginia were permitted
10 vote under the "reorganized govern
ment" and upon all the questions neces'
sarily submitted to the people during
the process Of forming and organizing
the new State Of West Virginia The
Constitution of the new State did
not materially alter the former qualif-
cations of voters. The constitutional
provision upon the subject is contained
in section |, article Ill, and is rs fol-
lows:
The white male citizens of the State
shall lie entitled TO vote at all elections
held within the election districts in
which they respectively reside; but no
person who is a minor, or Of unsound
mind, or a pauper, or who is under con-
yictioa of treason, felony, or bribery in
an election, or who has not been a resi-
dent of the State for one year, and OF
the county in which he offers to vote for
thirty DAYS, next preceding such offer,
shall he permitted to vote while such
disability continues.
Upon this constitutional provision
all the election laws of the State were
based, and all citizens OF the State COM
plying with the tests herein prescribed,
were permitted to vote until February
Is. 1866, when the first testoath for
voters was adopted by the Legislature
The act is entitled IAN Act TO amend

vides az follows:

Disgraceful.

Grant and Delano have disgraced our
State by removing Major Doddridge,
Pension Agent for West Virginia, and
appointing Mrs. Surratt Harris in his
stead. The removal was disgraceful,
but the appointment is infamous.
Since Cox left the Cabinet Grant seems
to have concluded that decent men are
a nuisance in the Federal service.
