Registrars have been kept in position
while candidates for office, and allowed
to trim their lists TO secure their per-
sonal success. Out of many cases of
acknowledged corruption among the
tho county registrars, in not single
one has any such officer been removed
for his outIsges, the practise being tn
encourage these officials in their enOr-
mites by protecting them and convinc-
ing them of their nnaccountability.
Where it is expedient, prescription is
carried on by Wholesale. Jefferson
county, that should have thirteen huA-
dred voters, has but three husdred reg
istered. The contested election case of
RAIDER rs. Putnam, in the House of Del.
egates, showed that the Nicholas county
Board had tried to disfranchise every
township in that county but one, by the
simple process of refusing to make out
books for the election. The town of
Lewisburg, with population of twelve
hundred, has but ten registered votes.
Within the past eighteen months be-
tween four and five hundred men, q
large majority Of the registered aud le-
gal voters of Greenbrier county, have
been stricken from this lists.
In dozen large counties there are
not sufficient registered voters to fur
nish decent juries for the trial of causes,
and litigation is left at the mercy of a
few whe have succeeded in winning the
favor of the Boards of registration.
In brief, the whole system of regis
tration has been conducted with view
to maintaining partisan power. This
policy you are asked to correct. Should
you fail to legislate for that benetcent
end, there yet remains the right of ap-
peal to the people, who have too long
been siekened with these iniquities to
tolerate them further.

The Spring Trnde-The Prospect


Not since the spring of 1860 have we
had such dullness of trade as we have
had since January of this year. 1T still
continues. 1t is gratifying, however, to
know that the darkest hour has been
all but, if not absolutely, reached. In
the mercantile community generally
doubt and fear begin to yield to hope
and confidence. The steady decline of
gold has had depressing and embar-
RAISING effect on the trading community.
In proportion as it is felt that bottom is
about reached there is growing feel
ing of security. We are gratified to
know that orders begin to come in from
the West and South, and that really the
prospect brightens. The nation at the
present moment looks to Congress. We
must have an end of all uncertainty.
Merchants must know where and how
they stand. If the Funding bill is not
to be passed, then it ought to be reject
ed at once. One way or the other this
cause of uncertainty ought to be re-
moved. We have tho same to say of
the bill which proposes to add fifty
millions to the currency. There ought
to be no delay. The bill should be
passed at once or thrown out. If Con-
gress will act wisely and with becoming
promptitude we shall soon feel ourselves
on solid ground, and merchants will
take courage. Under the new condi'
tion of things and on basis satisfactory
aud enduring we shall advance with
firm step towards prosperity which
we have never hitherto experienced,
The millions of gold now lying useless
in the vaults of Europe wait but the
opportunity to pour their favors upon
us and to develop our immense and
boundless resources. With the bright
-sunshine and the refreshing showers
and the blossoming flowers of spring
we shall expect to find ourselves in the
midst of state of things which, if not
all we could wish, will be at least cheer.

aggregate to nearly 100000, represent

Burning Of the Exchange Mills.

About half past seven o'clock on Wednesday
evening the Exchange Mills, situated at the west
end of the hydraulic basin in this city, were
discovered 10 be on fire. The building Was a
large wooden structure, and az the fire had
caught near the roof there seemed to be no hoye
OF s,ving any port Of it. Nevertheless, both our
engines We're promptly GA hand, and the comp
ME, went to work with will, and so effectively
that by the time the fire had got down to tie
second story it was under control. and was ulti-
mtteiy extiugUishcd, saving the lower story and
basement almost untouched by the fire. II e
burrs aud lower machinery are understood to be
still in good condition, though all the expensive
machinery of the upper stories i, destroyed.
The mill was owned by Z. III. Beyins & Co,
whose loss is about $4,000. which is, however,
partly covered 10y an insurance on the mill and
stock Of $500.
The origin Of thu fire il mystery, as there
had been no ire, not even a candle or a chimney,
in the vicinity where it caught. The only theo-
ry We have heard suggested is, that it must have
started from the friction of the elevators, which
had been KEEP. pretty busy all that afternoon.
