had recently asserted that the power of Congress
over that State had been exhausted, that he

STANTON LIBRARY AssOCIATIoN.-We pub
lish below letter issued to our citizens by the
Library Association. We are glad to know its
prospects of success are very fattering, and we
hope so laudable and advantageous an enter
prise will meet with encouragement from all.
Staunton, Va, Feb. 10Th, 1870
SIR 1t is sought to create a Circulating Lii
brary in this place, which it is believed will be
of great advantage to the community. Few of
afford to supply ourselves with large pri-
vate collections of books but by the establish
ment of well-selected Circulating Library eve
ry person, in return for small annual contribu-
ton, may have constant access to large and val
liable collection, which will be rendered every
year more and more complete. Our effort has
so far succeeded that we have already opened a
Library containing over hundred volumes,
which we hope you will assist US by your subscrlp-
ton to increase, until finally Library will be
established which will be a permanent institu-
tion-a credit to our town and an unfailing
source of Improvement to our people.
The terms of annual subscription have been
fixed at $3.50, of which only two dollars thus far
have been required. If one person in each
household will subscribe, the Nom ers thereof
will have the use of one or two volumes week
from the Library.
The benefit of your contribution and example
is solicited. If the majority of the families of
the town will aid this scheme by one years sub
scription, its success will undoubtedly be Sc
cured.

OF course, there is much excitement
among the citizens of Berkeley county.
II cannot be wondered at that men
should feel justly indignant at being
thus deprived Of their dearest right.
It is not surprising that men are not
disposed to sumbit tamely and quietly
to such an outrage. But, thus far,
peaceful counsels have prevailed and,
so far as we are informed, no violence
has occurred. We earnestly caution
the outraged people Of Berkeley against
any outbreak of the indignation
which they justly feel The laws
of West Virginia Oxford no
redress, it is true; the Boards
of Registration are made supe-
rior to our State Courts and placed be
yond the reach of the citizen whose
right they. unlawfully take away. II
the case can be'brought before the Dis
trict Court of the United States. under
the act Of Congress to enforce the right
of citizens to vote, justice will be done.
If Judge BOND has anything to with it,
there can be no redress unless the com.
plainant is a negro But we still coun-
sci quiet and peace, and trust TO the
fairness of moderate men to secure
such Legislature throughout the
State as will abolish the infamous fea'
lures of the present registration law

Let the Legally qualified Vote.

The propensity OF our quincy street
neighbor to distort and pervert tho state
ments Of political opponents, has been
given so much scope and exercise as TO
beget a sort of skill in that line, One
of cur neighbours most studied efforts in
that line appeared Yesterday morning in
an attempt to wrest from their obvious
meaning the words Of statement made
by us on Wednesday morning. The at
tempt is a melancholy failure OF course,
but it required the exercise Of no little
skill 70 make even the faint showing of
argument which has resulted
We are not contending that rebels
have now. the right to vote i'll West
Virginia. We do not claim that the
enforcement act reaches their case and
compels their registration. This is the
obvious meaning OF Whit We said on
Wednesday, and no one less expert than
the MteMgencer at turning words from
their proper import and construction
would ever be able to extract any other
signifcation from the language ems
ployed.
II is held by the Radicals that the
white men who are stricken off the list
by Boards of Registration, are disfran-
chised because of their completely in
the late rebellion. On the other hand,
we assert that We do not insist upon the
right of rebels to vote under our pres
ent laws, but defy them to prove that
the men they have DISTINGUISHED labor
under any such legal disability. In many
counties they have denied suffrage TO
men who, in so far as completely with
the rebellion is concerned, are as well
qualified to vote rs any Radical in the
State. They have disfranchised
men who were consistent Union
men througout the war, and
never. under any circumstances,
gave aid or comfort to the rebellion
They have refused to register young
men who were only sixteen years old
when the war ceased, and who are as
innocent of completely with the South
ern cause as the most rampant Radical
in West Virginia Under the conve-
nient charge OF disloyalty, they
hold themselves justified in the
Acknowledgement OF any man against
whom they hold personal spite or who
will not vote to continue perpetually
the power of the Radical party TO com
nit these outrages upon the right of
the citizen.
1t is for these men thus Illegally de-
prived of their right to vote that we
now plead It's they who have re.
dress under the terms Of the enforce
ment act and who have instituted
suits against the registrars. 1t is in
their behalf we warn the Boards of Reg
isration that further outrages will not
be tolerated and that they will be held
to answer in damages to every man
whom they Improperly strike rom the
list
