We invite attention 10 an article on
the subject of proper representation
which is published this morning. The
plan is, to US at least, q novel one, and
seems from the slight examination we
have given it, to meet most Of the evils
of the present system Of elections. The
chief objection that we see at present is
the complication that must arise when
a number OF candidates are presented
and when perhaps the three or four
lowest on the list may combine their
votes in such a manner as to defeat the
one who was the choice Of a greater
number of voters than either Of the
others.
Whether this plan or Mr.. BUcKA.
LEWIS, or some other with the same OBJ
ject, is deemed best by the Convention,
matters little; but We sincerely hope
that the new Constitution Of West Vir-
ginia may embody some well consider
ed scheme of election reform. The
tendency Of the best progress is in that
direction. Proportional representation
has been already adopted in Illinois,
and Ohio and Pennsylvania will each
establish it by constitutional amend
ment this year. Other States will
speedily follow. Let us put West Vir-
GINA in the van! The system is just
and right; there is no good argument
that can be brought against it; and the
wonder is that it was not generally
adopted in the United States long ago.

EultOr OF inc htEsUerH
Heretofore the Democratic party has
made quite stir about the members Of
the Legislature voting themselves $40
each OF postage clamps, while | see
that the present Democratic Legislature
now IN session has done the same thing.
How is this? Please give the vote on
this subject by ayes and noes, so that a
con6ding constituency may know how
their delegates voted. "Mickles make

THE CONVENTION.

The Martinsburg Ne,o Era says the
Wheeling REGISTER has two or three
racy correspondents at the permanent
seat who sketch the doings of the
Convention without fear, favor or par
TALLY They handle men and matters
without gloves, and say some things
which though perhaps unpalatable to
the Democratic party at large, never
theless contains more truth than
poetry"
The REGISTER would much prefer to
have none but pleasant and laudatory
things to say of all the Democratic
representatives assembled in Charles
ton and of all the acts OF the Conven-
ton and the Legislature, but our duty
az faithful chroniclers Of events COM
pels US to speak of things as they are
The Democratic party is responsible for
the government Of the State, 1t has
promised to improve upon the examples
furnish, 4 by its political foes, and the
people Of the State are looking for a
redemption of the pledges the party has
made. In the exultation Of success,
some OF our representatives are prone to
forget the grave responsibilities that
rest upon them and the Importance OF
the duties they have assumed, and
hence they sometimes give utterance to
very crude ideas and do very absurd
things. We are not willing, by keep,
ing silence, to seem to approve all that
Is done by each individual Democrat in
the Legislature or in the Convention
nor do we believe that the best interests
of the party are to be promoted by
either covering up or excusing or de-
tending the wrong.
The Constitutional Convention has
thus far, brought to the surface good
deal OF nonsense; but it has also done
some very sensible things, and there is
every reason to expect that the Con
stitution it will submit will be a vast
improvement upon the present one, and
will receive the warm approval OF the
people. A great many foolish resolu'
tons, as we'll as a great many wise
ones, have been introduced and re-
ferred to committees; but there is IN
the Convention 20 much of talent and
ability; there are so many grave and
earnest men who feel and know the
duties and responsibilities Of their posi-
ton, that the people of the State may
rest assured that the legitimate work Of
the body will be ultimately well done.
During these early days of the Conven,
ton, and while the men OF actual brains
and mark have been diligently
engaged in committee work, which is
none the less important because its
effects are as yet unseen, there are a
few little men who have been shooting
off pop-guns and blowing penny
whistles to attract attention, and these
our correspondents have noticed in
accordance with their deserts. When
all this froth that has dubbed up sud
sides, or is blown away, it will be
found that the work Of the Convention
will be we'll done, and entirely palata'
Die to the people.

THOSE OF our citizens who complain
Of a county tax OF 60 cents on the
hundred dollars and a city levy Of 80
cents on the same sum, should move to
Pittsburgh where the county levy is
sl.2O and the city levy Sl.2O. making,
exclusive of State tax, $40 on the
hundred dollars for the current year.
and yet people talk about the prosperity
Of Wheeling being crippled by high
taxes! What we want is railroads.
