The Right of Franchise.

To Messrs. James II. Ferguson, Charles s.
Le,cis and James III. Jackson, Members
elect to lie House of Delegates of Vest
Virginia.
GENTLEMEN You will have before you as
members of the Legislature. the question as to
the best and most speedy means of restoring
all the citizens of the State to the right of snf-
frage. take it for granted that you will at
once repeal the Registration law, and all test
oaths. But. to accomplish the mission'of the
party which you, in part, represent, you will
have to pass act prescribing the kind of
evidence which shall be necessary to exclude
a citizen from the exercise of this right. 1
maintain that it should be recorded evidence
aud nothing less. Do this. and the Flick
Amendment becomes an immaterial thing.
will venture to suggest the form of the
act necessary to accomplish this end. Here
il is:
Be it enacted by the Legislature Of Vest
Pirginia
That the male citizens of the State shall
be entitled to vote at all elections held within
the election districts in which they respective
ly reside; but no person who is minor, OF of
uusound mind, or pauper, or who is under
conviction of treason, felony, or bribery in an
election, or who has not been a resident of
the State for one year, aud of the county in
which he offers to vote for thirty days next
preceding such offer, shall be permitted to
vote while such disability continues. No per.
son who, since the first day of June,
1861, has given or shall give voluntary aid
or assistance to the rebellion against tho
United Stutes, shall be allowed to vote at any
election therein, unless he has volunteered into
the military service of the United States, and
has been, or shall be. honorably discharged
thercfrom; Prov'0cd however. that no person
shall be denied the right to vote at any such
election, upon the ground that he gave, or has
given. voluntary aid or assistance to the re-
bellion against the United States, unless he
has been convicted thereof by the verdict of
jury in court of competent jurisdiction"
The Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States makes us ali cit
liens. and the Fifteenth Amendment confers
the right to vote upon all citizens without re-
gard to race, color, or previous condition.
And the foregoing scheme of section con-
forms to both amendments.
L. it not certain to your minds that the
Legislature can prescribe the kind Of evidence
which shall exclude citizen from the right
of voting? To my mind it is perfectly clear.
You will find precedent for this form of
legislation in the election law pissed by the
Virginia Legislature, April 5. 1881, Supple
ment to the Code, page 80. You may possibly
hear from me again. AN OLD FRIEND.

gathered that the French forces have actually
won the victory claimed by them near Orleans,
but it is asserted with equal certainty that the
Germans repulsed "the French attack" before
Paris; which attack is not stated. A junction
by Trochu with the Army of the Loire is be-
lieved not to have been effected, though the
Prussian lines were repeatedly pierced. The
bayonet charges of the French are spoken of
as having been exceedingly brilliant.
One of the results of the late military OPP
erations is said to be the loss by the Germans
of their late overweening confidence. A BAL
loon despatch from Paris says that the French
troops kept the positions taken by them on the
10Th aud Both, and were prepared to prosecute
an offensive movement with vigor.
At Brie, on Friday, the fighting was par.
ticularly severe. the Germans being exposed
to steady fire of the French forts. The
Saxops are spoken of as having suffered
grievously. The French said to have f.
nally retired after losing many prisoners.

THR OUTLOOK FOR 1879.

Under the above caption, the New York
Herald of the 23rd ult., publishes long edi>
torial which concludes as follows.
''To.day the rays of victory CLEAN upon the
eyes of the democratic leaders They flashed
over the November sky like the gorgeous au-
rora, which but recently covered our wintry
heavens. The republican leaders see the dam
ger and old-fashioned crafty pilots like Games
ron and Chandler aud Forney, whose business
it is to read the skies, have been budding
around the White House in great alarm. But
Ter, the ablest and foremost republican of the
day, the. NIirabeau of Republicanism, calls for
Europeanwar His desperate and audacious
genius counsel war as the only hope of con-
tinued power. The very fact that such coun-
sci is given shows how clearly those ominous
tokens have pressed upon his mind and the
minds of weaker and more timid men, Can
General Grant ride the storm? Can he meet
a cold Senate and discordant House with any
policy that will fuse and weld the party into
discipline and activity? Has he any assurance
that the leaders in Missouri and Illinois and
Indiana will not ride over his weak and crumb-
ling Cabinet and perhaps wrest from him the
organization of tho next House? Will he
show that desperate courage which sometimes
makes one majority-the courage ofJackson'
when he bent the party into his own way and
astonshed and captivated the country by his
superb, imperial, overriding genius? This
certainly can be done but will he do it, and
will the men who hold up his arms second
him in the work
The outlook to-day is with the democracy.
New York has advocated, strengthened. dis
ciplined regenerated the party. AsNew York
goes so will go the Uuion and unless the in
fuences which have led to this contamination,
through so many dangers and trials and disap-
pointments, are checked by similar action on
the part of General Grant and his friends, it
is not difficult to see democratic victory in
1872 as decided as that which made Mr..
Buchanan President in 1856"

The Franking Privilege,

Mr. CresWell again reneEs his recommeu-
datiou to abolish the franking privilege. On
the subject of newspaper postage he remarks:
at is not intended to intimate that there
should be an increase of postage on newsPa-
pers. On the contrary, It is the duty of gov
ernment, as part of its work of beni6cense,
to aid in the education and elevation of the
people by carrying newspapers as cheaply as
possible; and hence am of opinion that the
present rates are not too low. Nor do object
to the free transportation of newspapers to reg
ular subscribers in the counties Of their pub
LEGATION, as now authorized by law Their
conveyance without charge does not interfere
with the speedy aud regular Transmission
of the mails. These are usually dispatched
at the county towns. and always stnp within
the boundaries of their own counties They
are so evenly distributed over the whole coun>
try that particularly they cause no incouve.
nience, or injury, or delay There is but one
change that deem desirable in the treatment
of newspapers, and that applies only to those
sent to points outside the counties of their
publication. 1 would require the postage ON
printed matter in all cases to be prepaid by
stamps. The law allowing the postage to he
paid in money by subscribers at the Office of
delivery is departure from the accepted
theory of post Office management. and subjects
the department to heavy losses"

VIRGINIA VS.. WEST VIRGIN IA.

The Board of Supervisors of Berkeley
county have appropriated $500, to be paid
Hon. C. J. Faulkner as counsel on behalf of
West Virginia. in the pending suit Of Vir
ginia, in the Supreme Court of the United
States, for jurisdiction over the counties Of
Jefferson and Berkeley. We also understand
that the Jefferson Board of Supervisors have
made like appropriation. We trust this is
not true, but we have no reason to doubt it
If true, VIC can only say that it is high
handed imposition, in every shane and form.
Laying aside all questions Of State prefer
cnces, we cannot but denounce an act whereby
an additional tax is saddled upon an already
over-taxcd county. for the purpose of securing
TO itself the right to pay tribute to the treas
ury of West Virginia. The said suit is
against the State of West Virginia, and not
against either Jefferson or Berkeley counties,
and if the State does not feel sufficiently in
tercsted to have itself ably represented in the
trial, it certainly looks little like '.begging
admission" on their part, for Jefferson and
Berkeley to make local appropriations,
Whilst the inducements for our retention in
West Virginia are far greater than ever before
md whilst We announce our intention to do
our share towards developing its resources and
making it Commonwealth co-cqual with its
sisters in every respect, if compelled to remain
as portion of its domain, we still decided
" Virginian in principle We can never, in
any manner. give our sanction to an act so
grossly fraudulent and unjust as the so-called
our Common mother, and that at time when
she was unable to raise hand against the act,
and without even so much as the knowledge
of the larger portion of the citizens residing
in them at the time. Give us Virginia for

BurLEr's OPINION OF CONFEDERATE SOL
Boston, Nou. 24-Among his alu-
sions to war, General Butler says: u capnot
but recall the truth that our Southern breth-
rem, many of the best and bravest among them
who fought against the government, with a
vain attempt to rid themselves of the glorious
memory of its history, are imputiently longing
to fight once more under the starry folds of
the old flag. Give the privilege to the brave
sons of The South to defend their country
again in foreign war, and especially one with
Great Britain, not loved by them any more
than by US, and it would bring us all together
again. uniting US with one flag, one country,
and one destiny. Insomuoh is this reunion
the hope of the patriot that one feels almost
to doubt whether to achieve it would not be
worth all the loss of blood and treasure in such
a war"
How much of his own blood and treasure
would the valiant hero of Big Bethel be will
ling to let out and sxpend in such war.
