Hanging a Lost Art.

To look at the amount of work done
in the way of murder in the City of
Crimes (Brooklyn) it is safe to suppose
that the sherif7s Office is n sinecure, and
that no will never be called upon TO
"viudicate the majesty of the law,"
which, in the vernaeular, means TO hang
the guilty. There seems to be q carni-
val of crime raging in New York. The
foulest murderers Eaye been released on
bail, and are to be seen, sleek and
fat, on the fashionable thoroughfares
every day. A dozen different atrocious
murders have recently been perpe-
trsted in that city and no steps taken
in earnest to punish the assassins. A
revolving assassination or brutal wife
murder creates no excitement what.
ever, and the next day the whole affair
is forgotten, and the murderer either
bribes his way out or gives "straw
baip and laughs in his sleeve atjustice.
THERE'S but one remedy for this dreadful
state of affairs, and that is a consider
able amount OF hanging, Systematically
and thoroughly done, until the public
safely is DO longer moDaced by cut
throats. They manage these thingsIn
San Francisco better than in New or
Brooklyn.

The Davis Substitute.

The following is the substitute pro
posed by Mr.. DAVIS, of Harrison, fol-
the FLICK amendment to the Constitu.
ton:
Resolred by the Legislature Of Vest Vir'
giRid:
The following is proposed as an
amendment to the Constitution of this
State, to be substituted for section l Of
Article III thereof, and to become part
of the said Constitution, when ratified
according to the provisions thereof,
namely:
"The white male citiz,ns of the State
shall be entitled to vote at all elections
held within the election districts in
which they respectively reside; but no
person who is a minor, or of unsound
mind, or pauper, or who is under con-
viction of treason, felony, or bribery in
an election, or who has not been a resi-
dent of the State for one year, and of the
county in which he offers TO vote fol
thirty days next preceding such offer
shall be permitted to vote while such
disability continues"
This substitute we have not before
Published, and give it now to meet the
desires of many whose attention was
called to it by the able discussion which
preceded its rejection.

The Capital Question

We are somehow of the opinion that
the House of Delegates "cut up uncom,
mon bad" yesterday over the Capital
question. Instead of repeating the act
of location and accepting the Wheeling
proposition, the majority indicated q
purpose to transfer the permanent loc a
ton to Parkersburg, passing to third
reading bill for that purpose. The
LAMB substitute, merely extending fol
five years the time at which last years
act locating the Capital at Charleston is
to take effect and accepting the Wheel
ing proposition in the meantime
met with most iAglorious defeat. As
we understand the friends of Charles.
ton they prefer permanently locating the
Capital anywhere else to keeping it here
even yea-. They have voted against
taking the Capital after limited time,
even ore year; have voted to repeal
their own bill, without knowing or try
ing to ascertain whether there was a
sufficient force in the House to repeal
it without their aid, and have voted to
make permanent location that would
forever preclude their obtaining
the prize. Now if these Charles,
ton gentlemen don't want the
Capital, all right. Their votes mean
that and nothing else, and nobody will
force it on them against their will. But
there is one point that seems little
hard to understand. Our much respect
ed friend, Colonel SMITH, announced
in the House his ability TO prove that
the Legislature had no power under the
Constitution to repeal the bill locating
at Charleston, and fifteen minutes there
after the Colonel and all the balance of
the friends of Charl eston voted for
repeal and permanent location else
where. OF course, in inditiEg this,
which by the way, we hope may never
be regarded otherwise than as joke by
the people of the Kanawha Val
ley, We proceed upon the idea that
the Charleston men are acting in per-
feet good faith toward Parkersburg.
That being true, we find no little con-
ISOLATION in the fact that in case Par
kersburg succeeds through Cbarleston's
aid, the people of Wheeling will have
ab bout fifty miles less distance to travel
going to the Capital, than the good
people of Kanawha county.
The Senate does not seem to be dis.
posed to harmonize with the House.
The former branch has passed simple
repeal bill. We do not know how
things may yet be fixed up, but if the
Senate sbonld obdurately refuse to
sanction the present project of the
House, there would be much unhappi-
ness

shnIIwe Fight Fixed Rnct.r

We presume the people of no State in
this Union have more earnestly and con.
sistently opposed the enfranchisement
of negroes than The people of West
Virginia. The opposition has been
confined to no party and to no particu-
lar section. 1t has been general and
deep-rooted, aud so nearly implacable,
that throughout the entire agitation of
the negro question, not even the most in
teusely Radical politician has deemed it
safe to avow himself in favor of confer
ring the ballot upon the blacks. 1t is
therefore not without fair understand
ing of the responsibility before us that
we propose this morning to lay
before our readers some reflections upon
this suhject-rehections of possibly
unpleasins character.
The passage by the House Of the
FLICK amendment to the Constitution,
an amendment recognizing the enfran-
chisement of the negroes, ard provid-
ing for restoring the ballot to the dis
franchised white citizens of the State,
las occasioned no little stir. The inter
est has not been lessened by the fact
that the amendment was urged by Dem
ocratiespeakers and adopted by Demo
cratic votes. That any Democrat, true
to the traditions of his party and faith
ful to the dignity of his race, should ad-
NIT by his vote that the negro's power
at the West Virginia ballot-box now
equals his own, may seem surprising
and unaccountable but that twenty
out of the twenty four Democratic men,
bers of the House of Delegates should
declare by their votes the negro
suffrage question to be practically
settled, is an incident that has
sounded every note of astonishment as
well as some of consternation. Not,
withstanding the course of these mem
may seem to be somewhat out of the
line of Democratic propriety and prece.
dent, we believe that they will ulti-
mately be sustained, not only by the
Democratic party of the State, but by
the great body Of the people of the
State, and we further believe, as firmly
as belief is possible, that their action
was not only the best that could be taken
under the circumstances, but that it
was probably the only alternative by
which to secure the ultimate restora-
ton of the ballot to the many thousands
of disfranchised citizens in our State.
Granted that the FLICK amendment
does concede the fact of negro suffrage.
Can any man with eyes open to curren,
history deny that the fact does exist
lean any observer of the poll tical events

The late Senator Jim Lane, of Oregon
is thus sketched by writer in LiPpiH
colt: "In the midst OF Christians ht
had been carefully educated for the
church; among scoffers religion was but
cloak for hypocrisy. In Kansas be
wore the fells Of wild beasts; in Boston
appeared in black broadcloth and white
cravat, and whined through his nose a'
religiously as the melodeOn Of couR
try parsonage. Among New England
ers, his mother was a Connection
scboolmarm;' with SoHtherners, he wal
Kentuckiau; among Western men, {
Hoosier; and thus it was his real origin
was as great a mystery as the source o
the Nile"
