Proportional Representation

An Illinois correspondent OF the New
York World says in a recent letter
81 cannot afford to pass over in silence
the result OF the experim ent tried at this
election in the matter of cumulative
voting. The State contains iifty-one
districts, each returning one State Sem
ator and three Representatives. Each
voter for Representative has three votes
He may either plump all three for one
candidate, or give one to each o. three
candidates, one and half to each oil
two, or two to one and one to another
The working Of the experiment was IN
satisfactory in some cases, as where the
minority cast more votes than were
needed, but in general the result was
more satisfactory. In this county the
Republicans carried six of the seven
districts, but the Democrats carried
eight of the twenty-one Representatives,
when under the old system they would
have secured three. Again, in the
State the Democrats carried seventeen
districts, equivalent to fitty-one Repre-
sentatives, but elected sixty-nine Rep
resentatlves, which is almost precisely
what one might expect, namely, two in
each district of the seventeen where
they had a majority, and one in each
Of the sixty-four where they were in a
minority. The success Of this plan for
securing due representation Of minori-
ties may, therefore, be considered estab-
lished

Ero,A the RIcbmond Dispatch !

From. the Richmond Dispatch
Jassses River and KaWawha Canal.
The telegraph has for a few days
past brought us Information Of several
interviews between the President and
gentlemen interested in the completion
O the James river aud Kanawhs canal.
Messrs. Smith and Seuer, members of
Congress elect from this State, were OF
the number, and also Senator Lewis.
Besides, we notice Hon. William
Loughbridge, NJ. c., Iowa; Major A.
NJ. Lawson; Colonel c. S. Darlington,
President of the canal; Colonel Lor-
raine, Engineer; and DR.. E. Il. Smith,
Assessor for this district. These gen.
tlemen. through their spokesmen, urged
the i'm portance to the nation of the
c completion OF the central water line
connect. g the Atlantic with the NJ s.
sissippi Valley Virginia had expend-
ed over $4,000 900 upon it, which she
would surrender as gilt.
The report is that the President ex-
pressed favorable opinion O. the en-
terprise, and it is anticipated that he
will recommend it to the favorable &C.
ton of Congress al its approaching
session.
The support OF Mr.. Loughbridge, OF
Iowa, is important, and we are gratltied
to see that he is amongst the earliest to
press the great work upon the attention
Of the President. He is man of a
well balanced intellect, commands the
respect of Congress, and comes from a
part of the great West whose support
of the canal is a matter OF very great
importance. We cannot expect the i'm
mediate representatives Of the lake in-
terests to do anything in its behalf, but
should the communities OF the Missls-
sippi Valley proper, through their
Congressman, take up the subject
with a zeal commensurate with the
interest they really have in it, we may
see at the approaching session some
very important step taken to advance
the improvement. Surely a govern
ment which considers the proposed Da,
rien canal OF sufficient interest to its
people to cause very costly surveys OF
that isthmus to determine its practical
bility may give part of the national
means 10 the construction Of a canal
which will be OF infinite value in open
ing the eastern markets to the pro-
ducers OF the west, and which must be-
come in time OF war an invaluable
resource for the support of forces that
the nation may be compelled to put
into the field.
The subject is one of the most ma
tional in its character that can engage
the attention of Congress, and the canal
when finished will turn out to be
amongsr the most wise investments in
which the national means were ever
placed. Virginia has almost bank
rupted herself in its prosecution. 1t
was work teo great for any State, and
her abandonment Of it was the newt
able consequence.

From the Weston Democrat
The Capital Question.


We notice that in various counties in
this end of the State movements are
being made looking to an earnest at
tempt TO remove the State Capital from
it's present location, and we should not
be SURPRISED il some such movement
were inaugurated Immediately upon the
assembling Of the Legislature. AS a
matter of course there are half dozen
towns that are aspirants for the honors,
and not one Of the applicants will con
sent that it should be located at any
point save Their Own,
Now while we did not favor the To-
cation of the Capital at Charleston, yet
we would much prefer its remaining
there TO it's location at some OF the
points that are now trying 10 get it.
And we must positively preer its being
anywhere rather than on the line OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Not that
we have any particular spite at that
corporation, but we don't like all the
improvements in the State to be made
along its line and nowhere else.
Weston is modest. She has never
been in agony upon this question; and
has calmly surveyed the shattered
hopes OF some of her sister towns
Like Barkis. she is "wilIin'" TO he Cap
,tal, but As she does not expect it, she
will not be disappointed if she don't
get it

Ruckhaonon, Wbee jrg aud Charleston.

aud OF these the noisiest is Ora ton.

ONE Of the questions discussed while
arguing upon the validity OF the August
election for State officers was as to the
power of Constitutional Convention to
DO anything that had net been spe-
c,ally embraced in the Act Of the Legie-
lature authorizing the Convention to be
held. A similar discussion has lately
been had in the Convention now in
session in Pennsylvania, concerning
which the New York World says The
old question Of whether Legislature
can restrict the powers of Convention
has arisen once more in the Pennsylva-
MIA Constitutional Convention, and been
decided by LOG to Is, as it so often has
been and always should be decided, in
the negative. A Legislature is body
created to carry into effect without va
rance the Constitution for the time
being; a Convention is intended to
change the existing Constitution or
make new one. IF the Legislature
can limit the powers Of the Convention
it can virtually inhibit any given change
or changes, or to all intents and pur-
poses forbid the formation of new
Constitution. In this way any abuse
favored by the Legislature might be
put beyond ratification by the Conven-
ton. and the main end Of there being
any Convention be thus defeated. 1t is
good once in awhile to return to first
principles, and sovereign Conventiont
being the direct voice of the people
through specially chosen deputies,
cannot admit control"

TIE Clarksburg Telegraph wants the
Capital located, not temporarily, but
permanently, and is not very particular
what location is selected, provided it is
done at once. The editor expresses bic
opinion of past Legislatures in this
State in the following not very compli
meutary style:
I'VE know that in justice it should
be located at Clarksburg, but we tried
in vain during several sessions OF the
Legislature to get the members of the
Legislature to see this, but a majority
of them could not see, or seeing 1t, did
not regard it. We are inclined to be
lieve that 9 majority Of the members o.
the Legislature at each session since
the Organization Of the State either did
not have sufficient intellect to enable
them to comprehend this fsct, else the
moral sense of many OF them was toe
ob,use to enable them to grasp the ques
ton"
It's to be hoped that the moral
sense" of the law makers may have sc
far improved as to enable them to put
the Capital at some point that is accessi'
he to the people OF the State.

THE Democratic newspapers are a.
fecting a kind o. supervisory care or
guardianship of Governor Jacob. we
respectfully call their attention to the
tact that they have not tae least right
10 advise the Governor During the
canvass they denounced the Governor
as a Radical, and the tool OF the Radl-
csls, but no sooner is he elected in spite
OF thei calumnies and denunciations,
than they want to control his admins
tration. II Governor Jacob is the man
we take him to be, he will paw no at
tention to the advice OF the Democratic
editors He was elected without their
aid, and he can administer the State
government without giving heed to their
counsel.-Clarksbsrg telegraph.
Our friend of the Telegraph need give
himself no uneasiness on that account.
The Democratic party can do without
Governor JACOB quite as conveniently
as be can do without the Democratic
party. The Democrats hold themselves
10 no way responsible for Governor
JAooB's nert alministr alton and the
Radicals are quite welcome to make OF
it what they can. Not having been
guided from the frat by the wishes OF
the party with which he pro'essed to
act, it is not prob.b'e that he now de-
s;res any OF that Democratic advice
against which he il so unnecessarily
warned by the ed tor Of the Clark.burg
Telegraph, nor is he likely to be ten
iered such advice whether he desires it

COULDN'T SEE IT.-The worthy gentle
man who rules the rising generation OF
boys in certain town in Tennessee, had
occasion recently to correct little boy nam
ed Johnny. Now Johnny had what is call
ed the sulks, because he was whipped, and
in order to convince him he was justly pun
ished, his teacher made the following ar
gument:
"Now, Johnny, suppose you were riding
big horse to water, and had keen switch
in your hand, and all at once the horse
were to stop and refuse to go farther, what
would you do ?"
John stifled up his sobs for moment
and looking up through his tears, inno-
Gently replied, I'D cluck to him, sir.n
"But, Johnny, suppose he wouldn't go
for your clucking, what then ?"
"pd get down and lead him, sir"
"And what if he were obstinate, and
would not let you lead him p
why, I'd take off his bride and turn
him loose, and walk home, SIR"
"You may go to your seat, Johnny"
Johnny could not be made to see the ne
Cessity of using the switch.
