there is any virtue in that amendment of
the Constitution, which declares, that all
powers, not delegated to the United States
by that instrument, nor prohibited by it to
the States, is reserved to the latter. Not
withstanding the extreme plainness of all
this, greater part of the legislation con-
tanned in the so-called Enforcement Acts.
is directed against the individual deeds of
people acting upon their own responsible
ity and without the shadow of authority
from the States or under color of any
State legislation, and therefore, 50 far as
these enforcement laws undertake to pun
ish these private individual acts, they are
clearly not appropriate legislation" to
the 18th Amendment, but are unconstitu-
tional, null and void, and should be re-
pealed as soon as possible. For example,
the act of May 1870, gives to all citizens
the right to vote who are otherwise quail
fed to vote, notwithstanding any consti-
tuition, law, custom, usage or regulation of
count of race, color, &c, and Furnishes any
person who, acting under the authority OF
any State, shall prevent any such citizen
from voting. This provision is clearly
within the purview Of the 18th Amend
ment, and is appropriate legislation" be-
cause it is directed against the States and
= &c h, ha
same act passes beyond this and seeks to
punish men who, by individual and I'M
official acts, seek to prevent, hinder or in
| timidate negroes from voting, as it does, it
goes quite beyond its scope and is clearly
invalid. Thus, for instance, one section
makes it penal offence tor any man, in
order to hinder or control any citizen in
his vote, to threaten him with refusal to
renew leases or contracts for labor
There can be no just pret-nse that this is
authorized by. the amendment. The act
is not done by virtue of any State legisla-
ton. which has authorized him so to do.
but is a private and unofficial act, wholly
without any power conferred by the State,
therefore not within the scope of the 18th
Amendment. From this may be seen
what is a proper discrimination as to
what Congress may do and what it may
not do. So far as the Enforcement Acts
are constitutional and just they will be up
held, but so far as they are in contraven-
ton of that instrument, public opinion
and the safety of the country demand their
repeal

congress.
Congress meets on Monday, and what il
will do or what it will not do is in the
womb of the future. But one thing we
may safely prophecy and that rs, that it
will do no good to the country or its pros
trate Industries. Dire forebodings are en-
tertained that in its dying throes it may
in1ict grievous injury upon the people
who have so ignominiously expelled its
party from power. Already we have the
foreshadowing of gigantic schemes of pub
lie plumber, which will dwarf into insig-
niicance anything heretofore perpetrated
by these most iniquitous men-and which
undoubtedly they will press with all the
desperation of drowning men if the oppor-
tunity offers. 1t is said that the lobby is
gathering in Washington in almost un-
precedented force, like buzzards to a ban
quet of corruption, and all this indicates
that great grab is to be made at the
treasury. The people are helpless to pre-
vent this now, but we have several conso-
lations: One is that it is about the last
chance these thieves will have in our day
and generation. Another is that Congress
cannot sit longer than the 4th Of March
proximo; and the most hopeful one is that
they will spend their time in elimination
and abuse of each other as to whose fault
it is that they are to be turned out in the
cold. "When thieves fall out" &c.

The Way or the TransyresSOr.

few nights since, farmer living in Loui
sa county, near the Albemarle line, was a.
wakened by the furious barking of his dog
and when, taking his gun and opening the door
of his house, he beheld an object suspended in
the air near his courthouse, he fired, and a man
fell to the ground. Three negro men were en-
gagged in stealing his corn, and for this purpose
a leaver had been put under the corn-house.-
The man killed sat on the end Of the lcaver.
which enabled the other two men to enter tn,
house and put out the corn. AS the man fell
the leaver dropped and the house fell upon the
two men killing them 10Th charlottesville

Another independent Party Fizzle.

The recent convention held at Indiana
polls, for the purpose of organizing Ma
tional Paper Money Party, based upon the
principle of issuing United States notes
convertible into bonds, as the sole currency
of the country and as cure-all for our
troubles, was such an egregious failure
that it is scarcely worthy ofmention, except
on the principle of the proverb that
''Straws show how the wind blows" This
straw would indicate that there is no room
in National politics now, but for the two
parties-the Democratic and Republican.
All these Independent, No-party move
ments are at last but suckers putting up
from the root of Radicalism. There is
nothing in them and they can only imiure
the root from which they spring. The
thinking people-and the people are
thinking now-will not be led astray by
any such delusions.

Virginia Land For Sale.

TllE property known as the CAPON
L FORGE PROPERTY, owned by the late
DR.. Isaac Pennington, located on the Capon
River, Hampshire county, West Virginia, four
miles from Capon Springs is offered at private
sale, the title having been recently settled in
the heirs Of said DR.. Isaac Pennington by the
proper Tribunals. The property consists of
TWELVE HUNDRED ACRES of TIMBER
LAND, together with Water Power, Forge and
Mill Seat on Capon River. The Timber is the
best of White and Yellow Pine. Iron ore is
also abundant in the mountain land. The I'M
provements consisted of twenty-five buildings
previous to the war, including the Foundry,
which was one of the best and largest in the
State. There are at present, however, only
three or four buildings standing.
The Water Power is one of the best in the
country, famed for its manufacturing advan-
tages. A fine graded road passes the property,
and the Valley Railroad is but few miles
distant.

to the fact that the trains for Marlborough on
the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad arrive too
late in the afternoon to permit of mails being
forwarded on connecting routes until the fol-
lowing day; and rs this department has never
claimed the power to regulate the running time
of railroad mail trains, it would seem that the

alone have the power to remedy the evils com
