THE SENATORIAL ELECTION.

Our confident prediction, vcnturcd upon
several weeks ago in these columns, that
the Legislature would elect Hon. Henry
G. Davis to fill the long term, and Hon.
Frank Hereford for tho vacancy, has been
realized. We had not anticipated, however,
that this hon or would be bestowed in a man
ner SO grateful to the feelings of the friends
of these distinguished gentlemen. We e1-
pected it at the hands of the Democracy of
West Virginia: it has been conferred by the
gracious voice of her whole people. With>
out regard to party, and above tho atmos-
phere of caucus, comes this heartfelt popular
tribute of thanks and gratitude, to these two
pioneers in the material development of West
Virginia. They have co-operated together
for six years past, with more success than has
attended the representative efforts of almost
my other State in the Union. The Valley
of the Kanawha, for ages yet to come, through
her great channel of trade and commerce,
will attest the earnestness with which they
have labored and this action of our people,
through this Legislature, will stand as mon
umental Tefutation Of the SANDER that rcpub
lies are ungrateful OF Mr.. Davis partic-
ularly, we can not refrain from adding, that
certain microscopic criticisms upon his quail
iications for the high position he now oc-
eupies have received a mcritcd rebuke. His
constituents have answered them and he
may now reply as did the great Athenian

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

. The biennial crop of proposed amendments
to the constitution of the State is being har>
vested in the Legislature. Thomas Jeffer-
son thought twenty years ought to be about
the age of one State constitution but your
average modern legislator has reduced the
computation to two months and half
Among those proposed this session, one
embraces very radical change in the judi
ciary system of the State; and having been
rescued from the waste basket by the judiciary
committee Of the House, it is necessary to
give it more than ordinary attention.
One prominent objection to it will stare
every man in the face at first glance, and that
is, a proposed reduction of the members of
tho Court of Appeals TO three. Had it been
to increase the number to flee, we should cor
daily endorse the change. AS now composed,
(four), the members of the court are worked
nearly to death, and find it next to impossi-
Bile to keep up with the docket. And yet the
proposition of the judiciary Committee is to
reduce the number by the removal, at the
end of four years, of Judge Green, whose ca
pacity for work is perhaps unequalled, save
by the immense labors of Judge Raymond.
If this reduction should be made, in less than
two years thereafter, the Constitution would
undergo another change, either by increasing
the number of Supreme Judges, or by resort
ing to some such expensive, and awkward ma
chnery as District Courts. Such was the
experience of Virginia. Her supreme court
had been immemorially composed of five mem
bcrs. Tucker, Brooke Cabell, Carr and
Green, were succeeded by Baldwin, Allen,
Lee, Daniel and Stanard and their successors.
After the war, the same spirit of innovation,
now so rampant, reduced the number to three,
and Moncure, Joynes, and Rives occupied
tho bench. The result was an accumulation
of the docket, which occasioned a resort to
the District courts, with all the obvious OBJ
jcctions to this expedient. Not only SO, but
Judge Joynes, that bright luminary ofjuris-
prudence, was stricken down with paralysis
a victim of overwork. The number Of the
Judges had again to be increased to fire.
And with all the energy of bench composed
of Moncure, Staples, Anderson, Christian and
Bouldiu-(the last lately killed By overwork,
and succeeded by Burke)-it requires nearly
three years to reach a case after it is docketed.
This is practical sutorcide. We earnestly
invite an expression of opinion by the bar of
the State on this question, in order to avert the
impending and dangerous blunder.

THE ELECTORAL BILL.

The United States Senate remained in
session on tho electoral bill throughout
Wednesday night and until seven o'clock
Thursday morning, when it was finally passed
by nearly three>fourths vote. There were
sixty -four votes recorded On tho passage OF
the bill-forty- seven in the affirmative and
seventeen in the negativc-thc number OF ABB
sentees being only eleven. The vote which
was cast was one of the largest, if not the
very largest, which has ever been cast i'll the
Senate on any measure. The solid demo-
cratic vote, with the solitary exception of Mr..
Eaton, was cast for it, every Democratic Sem
ator (iucluding Messrs. Davis and Price,
being in his seat and responding when his
name was called, excepting Mcssrs. Norwood
and Key.
On Friday, the bill passed the House by
vote of l91 to S6-ail the West Virginia
members being present and voting for it.
The President was expected to sign the
bill Yesterday, and to- day the members Of the
Joint Congressional and Judicial commission
ere to be chosen, and on Thursday (two weeks
in advance of the usual day ) the certificates of
the electoral vote are to be opened and
counted, with the exception ofthose in dispute.
These then will remain for the action of the
commission and subsequent action of Congress.
A prominent Republican ofico>holder, we'll
known in this county, writes from Washing
ton to Democratic gentleman of Charles
town : SIT may interest you to know that the
opinion is quite general here that the cleo
toral count bil-which is sure to become q
lawzwill make Tilden President; and such
result, believe, will be best for the coun-
try"

Our editorial suggestion that we should
not elect any man to the Senate of the Uni
ted States, who deserted his post at Washing
ton, in this important crisis, seems to have
met with response in the Legislature. On
Friday, Mr. McFadden introduced resolution
as follows:
Resolrea by the Legislature Of IVt,t Vrginia, That
our Sena tors DO instructed. and our members of
Congress be respectfully requested to return, with
out Unavoidable delay their respective positions

to wallow in warm gore. These huge
rats can be seen in large numbers gallop-
ing about the stores, along the street at
night. It is almost impossible to raise
poultry anywhere in the city. The rats
kill young chickens and ducks with the
greatest ease, and during last winter, on
one occasion, entered one chicken-coo
and pulled from its roost and destroyed a
full-grown hen. They kill grown pigeons
frequently. They do not confine them
selves to the city, but are spreading into
the country. They move in troops Of a
score or 20, carrying destruction to the
barnyards and granaries, and consterna-
ton to the sleek, and non-combatant
rats of the rural districts. They will at
tack aman when they are pressed in a
corner. On such occasions, when flight
is impossible, they will fly at their pur-
suer in blind rage, and generally succeed
in closing their teeth through his flesh
somehow. The bite Of this little animal
IS actually poisonous. Captain. E. M.
Roberts was bitten by one, and his hand
is now shriveled all around the bite. Mr..
Harwell was bitten, and it was feared his

weeks. The poison instilled is virulent

The Crop Prospect in England,


The Mark Lane Express, in its weekly
review Of the British corn trade says most of
Rngland's wheat crop is now cut but the cur
ing Of the grain has been greatly delayed by
the persistent rain fall which has been expert
enced in-many parts Of the kingdom, especi-
ally in the northern counties. Fortunately
the temperature has not been unreasonable,
SO the damage from sprouting has not been SO
great IS would have been the case had the
wheat been normally warm. Disastrous re-
ports reach us from Scotland, where the
storms and rainfall have wrought irreparable
damage, both in cereals and hay, which has
fairly rotted on the ground under the exces-
sive moisture The harvest in the north would
have been three weeks or month late under
any circumstances, but the recent storms rem
der it problematical when the crops will be
secured. The weather has also been unfavor-
able for potatoes and the disease has been
spreading in an alarming manner. The yield
Of cereals taken together is decidedly bad
throughout the kingdom and the condition in
which a good deal of wheathas been gathered
and stacked render it improbable that offer
ings at principal markets will be on anything
but o limited scale for several weeks to come.
The quality of the new grain is decidedly in
ferior to last year, and, considerable ad-
mixture of dry foreign will be required to
render it fit for present use.

OF THE GENERAL NEWS.
Death OF France. sta.esman.

Ex-President Theirs arose early Monday
y he went for an hours walk on the terrace, and
afterwards wrote until noon. Atnoon he took
luncheon with an appetite, but toward the
end of his repast hestammered a few words
his mouth contracted, his eyes became COW
cred with film and he was carried to his bed.
The physicians ordered mustard plasters and
leeches. Theirs died apparently not aware OF
his danger The prostration was complete
after twenty minutes had elapsed. To-day
number of well-known politicians went to
ST. Germans to condole with Madame Theirs,
and kilograms of coincidence were received
from all parts. President Mcmahon, who is
at Mont Brison, upon being Informed of the
death of M. Theirs Immediately telegraphed
to Paris to summon Cabinet council, to ar
range the solemnization of the funeral with
the greatest pomp. President Mcmahon thinks
that in thepresence of such loss to the coun-
try, ali divisions should for the time disappear,
in order by great national demonstration to
pay honor to one who has rendered such great
services to France: President Mcmahon has
sent a telegram of coincidence to Madame
Theirs, and the official Journal will tomorrow
publish decree that the expenses of the flu
neral will be borne by the state. tits resolved
that the body will be inferred IN the Invalides.
The whole Republican press expresses pro
found and sincere sorrow. Private kilograms
from the provinces, show that NJ. Theirs death
is regarded throughout the country as q ma
tionA calamity. Most of the evening papers
appear with black borders, and even papers
opposed to NJ. Theirs generally render homage
TO the illustrions patriot, although they min
gle with their praise disapproval of his most
recently expressed opinions. M.Thiers leaves
TWO wills: Che relates to his fortune, the best
part of of which goes to Mrs Theirs and her
sister; the other is political and literary, and
will be executed by M. Barthelemy st. Hilare.
The Sketch Of manifestoe which NJ. Theirs
was to have addressed to France before the
elections has been found in his his papers.
Many apprehensions about the effects on the
elections and even on the futuae of the Repub-
ican party, in case it should continue in the
majority. So long as there was o leader there
was almost complete confidence in its prudence
and moderation, even after he had retired
from the presidency. It was to his influence
and authority that Germany continued to look
with confidence. --'.s II -
