The SUPPLEMENTARY of the l. d.


The Parkersburg Times rcmarking on
the prolonged balloting by the Board Of
Regents of the Institution for the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind for Superintendent, at
their recent meeting, says:
ut Is our opinion that those Regents,
who refused voting for Prot. Johnson-by
whose efforts our Legislature was induced
To establish this Institution-did not ap.
preCiate the great merits ofthe Professor. "
As simple proposition, this is Il very
obvious one; but lift means, as we presume
it does, a sort Of reflection on the Board
for not making Mr.. JOHNSON Supcrintcnd-
ent, it may help explain that gentlcman's
failure to say that in G3 ballots he voted
over 90 times for himself With every
sympathy in favor Of that gentleman, the
Board was thoroughly satisfied that lie nor
any other blind person would be competent
TO have the general chargcoi m institution
Of such magnitude. The board was will.
ing TO give Mr.. JOHNSON the best posi-
ton in the Institution tor which he was
competent, that Ofprincipal teG@her in the
blind department; but he refused To have
any position but that of Superintendent Of
the whole inStitution-a position which
could be suitably filled only by man who
could see, and who had very considerable
parts besides. We have no wish to say Il
word rejecting On Il man who is so I'm.
fortunate as to he blind but it seems due
to the Regents to say what we happen Il
he advised OF, that Prof JOHNSON has
from the first shown such wan
of delicacy and such pcrsistcncy in try
ing almost to force himself into thu
position Of Superintendent rs hasmadc thC

the Board. In the session held here il
April, Mr.. JOHNSON made long and vic

ballots had occurred, urging the reason
why they should elect him, and rejecting

great severity. lie made another long
speech in the meeting at ParkCrsburg

To the Legislature Of West Virginia
WHEELING, February 8, 1870.

WHEELING, reDruary y, Lc'V'
As You are now considering the ques-
tion of amending the registration law
of our State, / desire to lay before you
few plain truths, that may not be un-
welcome in your deliberations. will
preface what l have to say upon the
registration law by Iemarking, that /
represented the county of Jefferson 10
the House of Delegates in 1868. was
then and am still Republican. In Oc-
tober 1869 l was nominated by the Re-
publicans of Jefferson county for seat,
in the present House. OF my political
status there can therefore be no ques-
tion.
During my candidacy in October last
there was difficulty in our county about
a Board of registration. 1t was ru.
mored, and ! understand stated by the
Governor himself, that owing to that
officially the people Of Jefferson would
probably have no election. But after
Governor Stevenson had personally Wis
tied the county Board of registration
was appointed. There were some
changes back and forward, but the
BOARD that acted Just before the cleo.
tiou, consisted of Messrs. Hawp, Etchi.
son and Traynor. After these men had
made up the lists, prepared the books
for the election, and sealed them o
certain Mr.. Underdonk, who had
formerly been President Of the Board,
but was not then one of its memb bers,
went to Mr.. FaymsB, Clerk of the
Board, after the books had been thus
completed, and partly by threats pro-
cured possession of those books. After
Upderdonk had taken possession OF
them they fell into hands of Traynor,
n member of the Board which prepared
them, and one Hezekiah Roderick, whe
claimed to have been commiss oned as
county registrar after the Board before
named had been appointed and organ
izcd, and after the work for the election
was done.
When the election came on, the names
of persons who were registered, when
the Board completed its work, were
missing from the books. Considers bic
excitement prevailed in consequence,
the authority of Roderick and company
to take possession of and alter the books
which the Board had completed and
sealed being generally questioned. At
the next term of the Circuit Court for
jefferson county, the Grand Jnry in
quired into the case. The testimony
taken may be gathered from the follow
ing statements of members of the
Grand Jury. Mr.. Welshans says:
On the evening of our election day in
October last, there was good deal Of
excitement and complaint against the
Board of registration by persons who
had registered and whose names were
not on the books whsn they came to the
polls to vote. They said they had re-
ceived 10 notice to appear before the
Board.
The matter being brought before the
Grand Jury at the November term oi
Court, the Board ofresistrars and Others
were summoned to testify in the matter
4 Mr.. John HawA, q member OF the
u Board, being interregsted, apsHsred a
