marily and severely dealt with. They
know it. hence elections there are always
fairly aud peacefully conducted. Even a
Conservative paper, the EceninI StIr,
admits this. Witness the following from
its issue of Friday:
"The election was fair and the result is un-
avoidable. Let us, then: pursue the even
tenor of our ways till next fall"
Asa result of this "fair. play" system,
the city. although possessing registered
Democratic majority, was carried in the
late election by the Republicans. who were
not restrained by intimidation from voting,
and. owing to. their freedom from restraints
that obtain in Petersburg and elsewhere,
they were enabled, in common with their
opponents, to look after their party inter
ests and see that the ballots were fairly
counted. -s.e
We have yet to hear of the Democratic
mayor who is influenced by the sense of
justice and fair mindedness that obtained
with Mayor Burch, whom the people of
Lynchburg have had the good sense to re-
elect by large majority. Referring to
the character of the gentlemen on the
Republican ticket, the Star, Conservative,
says:
-" As to the gentlemen elected we have only
to say that Lynchburg is to be congratulated
that she is to be represented at least BY her
own citizens, and men of good standing and
identified with her interests. And now, fellow
citizens that the thing is over, let US lay aside
all elimination and recrimination."
National Republican., 1876-05-30

THE Senate yesterday determined that 1t
could take jurisdiction in the Belknap case.
This seems to US an unfortunate decision.
If correct, it was in the power of the Re
publicans during Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
ton, with a two-third majority in both
Houses, to have impeached all the members
of the Buchanan administration. 1t tplaces
it within the power of any party which has
the requisite majority to disgrace and dis
qualify for the holding of Office all political
opponents who may have held Office before
them. 1t is a dangerous and most tempting
weapon to put in the hands of any party.
The Constitution designed the impeaching
power as q means to remove bad men from
Office and to disqualify them beyond all
possibility of ever again entering. But as
it also provides that no person shall be
twice placed in jeopardy for the
same ofense, and also that the
impeachment shall not prevent indictment
and trial by the courts for the infiiction of
further pains and penalties, 1t Is reasonable
to suppose, indeed it is clear to nany
minds, that the primary and paramount
design Of the trainers of the Constitution
was the removal from Office. At all events
it seems clear to US that this is the only
safe construction to place upon the whole
instrument, and we regret that the Senate
did not view 1t in the same light. One can
imagine how hard it will be to get a two
third vote for the conviction of an accused
person in body nearly one half of whom
do not believe in the power to try the case.
A trial under such circumstances can be
little more than labor in vain.

over SIS, 200, 900. Where the difference be-
tween the actual cost of the road and the

is answered by the assertion that Ii WAS d.

Crocker & Co. This firm let the contract for

involved in the contract; that the road is so
poorly built that it Is unsafe for travel, and
that the stockholders are unable to obtain any
share of the profits. Congress is asked to
order an investigation of the affairs of the
company in the interest of the stockholders.

THE contest between Captain A. Grant

closely questioned, join in exonerating the

known that this must be the result, be-
cause of their lifelong familiarity with the
integrity of Judge Wylie, they are no
less gratifed to have the matter made

THE testimony adduced yesterday in re-
gard TO the Speaker Kerr scandal is Ger
tainlY of q most positive character. And
when taken in connection with Mr.. Kerr's
solemn denial upon oath, leaves the matter
in state Of most mysterious uncertainty.
We deprecate any injustice to the Speaker
of the House. He is just now in most
perplexing dilemma. To well man It
would be exciting and annoying, but to one
in Mr.. Kerr's delicate health it threatens
physical danger. For his sake, as well as
for the honor of the country, it is to be
hoped that he will be able to show that this
charge is untrue.
