WEST VIRGINIA.
State.

The State of West Virginia holds an cleo
ton on the 22d of August. 1t will be difficult,
probably to draw from the result any valu-
able inference of the strength Of the Repub-
lcan or the Liberal and Democratic party i'll
that region, for the issues are entirely local,
and neither the Grant Republicans nor the
Liberals have made any nominations for State
officers. The principal issue is the acceptance
or rejection of new Constitution, proposed by
the Convention which met at Charleston last
january. This instrument makes no radical
change in the organic law, and contains no
provisions of a partisan character; but there
is a section, to be voted on separately, which
excludes cOlOred men from office. There Is no
probability of this section being carried, and
it was probably thrown in merely as bait
TO catch votes for the Convention from the
Bourbon Democracy. The Democrats as q
body favor the new Constitution; the Repub-
licans as body oppose it; but this division
will not be strictly observed, and the vote
will be governed in great measure by local
and class interests.
The new Constitution, however, provides for
new set of State officers, and changes the
time of holding the general election from
OCIODbE
other functionaries will be chosen on the 22d,
to take office in case the Constitution should
be adopted, while if it be rejected the present
incumbents will hold over. Three Congress
men are likewise to be voted for pro-
visiOnally. If the Constitution fail, their
election will be void, and they must run again
in October. Thus it will be seen that there is
a prospect of abundant local excitement, though
the issues have little significance to the rest
of the Union. The Grant Republican Conven-
ton, which met at Grafton on the 23d OF May
and chose delegates to Philadelphia, passed
resolution refusing to recognize the new Con-
stitution as a party question, and adjourned
without making any nominations for State Off
GERS. The Democratic Convention assembled at
Parkersburg, May 30, approved the new con-
stitution, and nominated for Governor Mr.
johnson n. Camden. Soon afterward the
present incumbent, Gov. John j. Jacob,
Democrat, and an unsuccessful aspirant for
organized a bolt and entered
the field as an Independent Demo-
cratic candidate. Since then curl
GUS variety of combinations have
been made for the purpose OF con-
centrating upon Jacob the whole Republican
aud a part of the Democratic vote. No fewer
than four, and we believe five, independent
tickets have been nominated, each with
Jacobs name at the head, and all manner OF
names for the body and the tall There are
straight Grant Republican tickets with Jacob;
straight Confederate Bourbon tickets with
Jacob; eclectic tickets with Jacob; Greeley
tickets with Jacob moderate Democratic
tickets with Jacob. Moreover, there are secret
bargains with friends and foes of the Con-
yention, and such dickering of August votes
against possible October votes that all calcu-

latons based upon the relative strength OF
parties are utterly futile. 1t is certain that
Jacob will get the entire Grant Republican
vote; the Liberal Republicans will sustain
Camden; tho result depends upon the extent
to which Jacob may be able TO divide the
Democrats. The nominations for Congress
are not yet complete. In respect to them
there is an additional complication, as the
State has been redistricted
While the August election has therefore lit
tie political significance outside the State,
Liberal victory in West Virginia in November
is almost beyond question. At the election
for Governor in 1870. Jacob Dem) was chosen
by majority of $3.50 over his Republican
competitor, VIM. L. Stevenson and at the
vote for or against the constitutional Conven-
ton in 1871 the majority for the Convention
was 2,s5f, the Republicans generally gong
against it. The present delegation in Con-
gress consists of two Democrats and one Re-
publican, and their majorites in 1870 were ;

graced his Office, but we certainly did not
expect to find him so utterly reckless. The
last we heard Of him he was protesting warm
personal friendship for Mr.. Greeley, and beg
ging personal favors at his hands. He even
sought, on the heels of such professions, to
smuggle long real estate notice into The TRTB-
UNE free of charge, and occupied his Senate
rial leisure in writing personal letter to Mr.
Greeley to request it. If he has gone into this
Rebel pension calumny, he is about the most
impudent and graceless reprobate that, in the
course of a long experience with such persons,
we have ever CHANGED to encounter.

GRANT And WILSOE AND TIE JEWS.
Senator Wilson, at Richmond, Ind, is re-
ported as having said that "Gen. Grants
"course toward the white people of the South
"has invariably been humane" Gen. Wilson
has not forgotten Gen. Grants military order,
issued in 1862, summarily expelling from the
State of Kentucky the entire Jewish popula-
ton. He made no distinction between the
innocent and the guilty, between thievish fol-
lowers of his army and the honest residents
of Kentucky. In the spirit of savage warfare
he directed that men, women, and children
should leave their homes and property to the
mercy Of his suffers and camp followers, and
fly unprotected outside Of his lines. This is
what the Know Nothing Senator calls "humane
treatment toward the white people of the
"South." Abraham Lincoln, upon learning
that Grant had published such anEorder, tele-
graphed peremptorily that it should be re-
scinded, and authorized public announcement
to DO made Of his action.
President Grant now apologies for his Ken
tncIy order, asserting that his chief of staff
issued it, and that he Grant countermanded
il. lie does not state, however, that he coqn-
fernandez it upon President Lincoln's per-
emptory order. Senator Wilson says Grants
" course towards the white people of tho
" South was humane" Perhaps abuse OF
tho Israelites does not count as inhumanitY IL

We present this morning further proof OF
the fraudulent character of the vote OF Halifax
County, North Carolina. No man IN ms
senses will maintain that a population OF
2O4OS could furnish adult males sufficient to
cast 5,3O7 honest votes. These figures are q
mathematical demonstration of fraud; the
only question is, by whom and in whose inter
est were the frauds committed Inc
county contains preponderating negro popu-
lation, exceeding the whites in the ratio OF
two to one. The registrars and elecuon OIL
GERS are the tools of the interruptions persons
who control the blacks. Does any one OeIeVe
that Judge MerrimOn was permitted 10 prOhV
by this iniQuity2 The facts are that In none
but the negro counties was the proportion OF
one vote TO five inhabitants attained Ill North
Carolina. Take the strongest Conservative
counties and we find at this same election
that not more than one vote Is cast TO every
six inhabitants Duplin, for instance, gave
715 majority for MerrimOn, and increased Its
anti-AdministratiOn vote from Lag year ago
to 1850; yet the total vote is only @'7So
out of a population Of 1852. Catawba
gives 83j majority for Merrimon, casts 1,607
votes, and has a population of 1884. 1t is
only in the counties controlled by the negroes
that we find the natural proportion exceeded
and this we find in three or four other coun-
ties beside Halifax. In such counties it is more
than likely that every negro boy Of eighteen
years or thereabout voted if he wished. We
trust that Judge Merrimon will dispute the
election, and that the whole matter will be
fully and impartaly investigated by the
Legislature. Meanwhile one Of the most val

THE PASSAGE or THE HARLEM.

The improvement of Harlem River is one
of the imperative necessities Of this city. 1t
is demand of commerce and of population
which the Development of the present decade
will require to be satisfied. 1t is urged by no
equivocal, no sectional considerations such as
those we noticed recently, as recommends
ing the beautiful, but not necessary, Bou-
leyards of Washington flights. A whole
city full of people are clamorous to have
its passage made easy; the entire northern
trade requires facilities to get beyond II INTO
the State. Eventually its swamps VIII DC
built upon, and the lazy, Struggling stream
will be confined to the limits OF ca
nal, and in the end, not far distant,
II will do only the work of canal. In less
than half century it will be walled water
way in the heart Of the metropolis and float
10 the doors of fashionable residences the
domestic supplies that now are landed at
Washington and Fulton Markets and scores OF
downtown docks, and thence carted overland
up town. Possibly the dream OF the shipping
men that steamers may yet find short route
from the Sound through Harlem River into
the Hudson may be realized, but we incline
TO believe that tho river will become an IN

tcrnal canal of the future metropolis, destined

tcrnal canal Of the future metropolis, destined
to float local traffic almost exclusively.
Everything which tends, therefore. at once
TO improve the waterway and to simplify it's
passage is of interest TO the whole people and
OF benefit to all parts of the city. The resident
or MorrisaDia or Fordham is not more inter
ested in the completion of such works than tho
wholesale dealers of the Swamp or of Broad ST.,
for they will prove to the latter as needful out
lets from, as TO the former convenient inlets
to, the city. Already the Harlem Bridge at ae
northern terminus of Third-ave forms a mean.
of communication ample for the needs of the
East Side. The projected tunnel at the end Of
Seyenth-ave. and the suspension bridge from
Washington to Westchester Nights, which the
Park Commissioners suggest, and which we
described fully in recent issue, will afford
needed facilities Of communication for the
West Side, and these considerations will seem
to many sufficient to warrant the carrying out
of the general plans by the Department Of
Parks, which, with just estimate Of our future
needs, the Commissioners now urge for adop-
ton,
