THE efforts of the Conservative
journals in Virginia to belittle the infu-
ence and importance of the Republican
press of the.state at the expense of The
National Republican are as foolish as they
are transparent. 1t is plain that the mo-
tive which prompts them is simply de-
sire to arouse feeling of jealousy within
the ranks Of the Republican party-a
matter which, under existing circumstan-
ces, they will fail to accomplish. These
papers, including the Richmond STATE
JOURNAL. Lynchburg Press, Norfolk
Day-Book, Valley Virginian, and Vir-
ginia Press, are not only ably conducted.
but are too thoroughly devoted to the
success Of the cause for which we are
all struggling to be influenced by this
exceedingly transparent attempt to create
a division in the party. An unprejudjced
comparison of the contents Of the journals
mentioned with those of the opposition
gives result decidedly in favor Of the
former. While the Conservative papers are
all filled with sound, fury, and bombast,
or empty and illogical appeals to the
basest prejudices Of the past, their Repub-
lican cotemporaries are replete with cogent
argument and the intelligent discussion Of
the living issues of the present. Washing

ELIGIBILITY TO VOTE AND HOLD
OFFICE new constitution of Vr
ginia in prescribing who shall not vote
under it, includes in that category: "An
persons who have sent or accepted q
challenge to fight duel, or aided or
assisted in any manner in fighting duel,
since the adoption of the present constitu-
tion." ~ 90.
Il seems to be clear that the party who
cannot vote is by that fact rendered
incapable of holding an Office of trust, or
emolument, either under the city OF state
government. And it seems to be equally
clear that all who participated in the late
unfortunate duel between Messrs. Mordecai
and McCarty are not only deprived of the
privilege of voting, but are, by virtue of
their participation in the affair of honor
alluded to, precluded from holding any
Office of honor, trust or emolument either
under the city or state government.
This state of things is to be regretted, as it

house, at salary of 81 200 per annum.
Had the Doctor been merely surgeon in
attendance, whose object was to ameliorate
possible human suffering, he might not
have been amenable to the prohibitory
clauses of the new constitution, brt it ap-
pears that he considered himself more than
this, as hehas had for somo time case before
our higher courts, where, in seeking to get
rid of judgment of the hustings court di-
rectng him as witness to divulge what he
knew of the duel, he opposes it by every
legal subterfuge on the expressgrou that
by testifying he would criminate himself,
thereby admitting his participation in the
fatal duel.

early occasion to elect his successor. We
hear that there is number Of applicants
for the position, which is considered very
desirable, there being little or nothing to
