Peirpoint 10 the contrary notwithstAnd'
inc, the ignorant voter Is the worst voter;
the intelligent voter is the best voter
Therefore let the proper educational means
be applied 10 qualify the negro voters to
vote understandingly and intclligently
Then il il be found that the franchise has
been improperly bestowed, that the whole
project is a failure, many OF the evils that
might otherwise result from it will have
.beeri aveFted, md the State in averting
them will have done her duty.
We are aware that in advising thepe0pIC
TO accept the inevitable, take negro sui.
fraCc, as they must, and make the best OI
il, rather than allow 1t to make the worst
OF itself, we shall meet many honest obiec'
tons and elicit protests not q few. But
we have lived to learn that when a politi-
cal question is practically settled, the
quicker the discussion ends the better ior
the loosing party. Whatever responsible;
tiles may attach To tho origination and
adoption of this negro suffrage scheme,
the Democracy have no share in them, and
thew need haye no fears that they will be
held tb account for the consequences.
Their record in the past is made up, but
VIC warn them that it will not apply TO the
new responsibilities and now issues OF the
future There are vital and important
questions upon which the Democratic
party NAV struggle conquer. Let it
otSlly itself with death. Let II not be
chained 10 a corpse. SO far as suffrage
nuostinns arn concerned. the remaining is
sue, the ballot for the white man, is better
for US than any yet presented; upon it we
arc strongerswith the negro disposed OF
than without anGl;ghen It Is gained the
victory wfil be ours because the proposi,
ton Is ours from the start. Upon all the
questions of finance, tariff and govern
mental policy, We have an equal chance
with our opponents, if we properly avail
ourselves of our strength and do not waste
it in trying to recall the irrevocable. Let
the dead past bury It's dead" Let us TACT

Cuban question that he can easily afford

SAN DoM1Nqo.-Was concluded this
morning, and reports will he made Mon.
day or Tuesday. The following points
have been established by the evidence,
independent of Perry, whose record has
been irdnstriOusly searched for the pur-
pose Of discrcditing him ms q. ,w1tressto
prove that Hatch was detained in prison,
because 1t was feared he would injurc the
cause OF annexation. The Committee
have dispatch Of Minister Grantier TO
Perry, aletter Of Coglnen to Gen. Babcock,
and 4 dispatch from Admiral Poor, all
giving this as the reason for holding
Hatch. General Babcock, in his testi-
mOny, admits that he informed Perry
that the President was displeased
because pcremptory order had
gone out for Hatch's release. he gives
two reasons for not interfering i1ltlvor, OF
Hatch: First, thath Instructions did not
direct it, and second, that he believed him
guilty. 1t came out, however, in the
cross. examination, that be had intcriered
in behalf of an Confederate soldier
who was guilty of murder, and that his
instructions were rs silent in this case as
in the other. The committee have con-
fined the investigation closely TO the
terms of the resolution which contem-
plated an inquiry, with the Hatch case
alone. The only part Of the testimony
which bore upon the supposed operations
of Bacz and others in the grant Of land
was the admission of BabCock that Baez
had offered him grant in the presence OF
witnesses, but that he had declined It
for two reasons; first, that it might iniure
the prospects of treaty. and second, 1t
would compromise General Grant The
case as it stands Is such that 1t leaves the
general subjects of irrcgularity in an awk'
ward shape, without sucll an investigation
as was contemplated in the resolution OF

10 NII WRGGllng IatSlilgsncer:
Inotice in your issue Of the 18th inst. u
rather singular communication, touching
on the canvass for the Congressional
nomination in the First District of this
State. The author Of the communication
alluded to is well known to me, and his
aims and desires are understood by the
masses Of the people, ,sHlt
Iasstne you; MIR. Editor, that after haY-
ing tfaversedthc greater part Of the dis
trict, find that General Golf is the only
man who can command the entire vJte Of
the Republican party in the District.
lie is a young man, 1t is true, but he is
champion of the party to which he be-
longs, and with him as Q stand9TtlibelreT,
victory is more than certain. In him are
concentrated all the elements Of success,
and he is Il young man ofuntiring energy
and indomitablc perseverance that the
Democrats will fear, and who is not
afraid upon the stump toshpw them up to
the public in their true character.
Now, Mr. Editor, there appears to be a
disposition on the part OF several gentle
men belonging to the Republican party to
asperse the claims OF General Gotf to
the next Congress, and.it is very evident
that their efforts are actuated by ulterior
motives, or that they are cndeavoring tC
foist upon the public other favorites, to
the disparagement of General GolF, than
whom no more eligible candidate, or one
more spOtless in his private character OF
his political record can be found in West
Virginia, p UNA .N4. , !
General Gotr is entitled to the, support
and confidence .ot the people 'dt West
Virginia, notwithstanding all the efforts
that will bo brought to bear against him
by parties either interested for themselves
or on behalf Of their fav0rites. t
predict, that on Wednesday next
General Golf will receive the unanimous
nomination for Congress from tho Repub;
lican party, the predictions and labOrs oI
one or more itinerant gentlemen to the
contrary, Notwithstanding. la {
