Il. Y. Daniel Attorney General Of the State
10 response to questions propounded by Gov.
kemper says upon the questious:-
!. docs the requirement (payment Of the
capitaion tax o! the preceding year as ons OF
the qualifications TO vote at electiona) apply to
the elections held III cities and towos lor city
and town officars?" Am Of opinion that it
does Tue qualifications Tor voting at all cleo
tons by the people being under the provisions
OF the Constitution required to be the same.
? "Does the assessment Of tho capitation Tax
Of 1876, before the adoption OF tina amendment,
excuse its payment US prerequisite TO voting?'
l am Of the opinion that II does not. Tho lam
guage Of the amendment is general And
shall havo paid to to tho State before the day OF
election the capiLation tax required by law for
the preceding year" No reference Is made 10
the assessment OF the tax.
3. Can q voter who has not boon assessed tor

willing before the election to pay the ssme, and
tender it to the collector of the tax for that year,

Of tho act Of March II, lS74-Acts, page 235-
Omitted Taxes, How Assessed" IF the

cd for that year, adding thereto interest at the

DAILY AND TRl-WEEKLY BY
EDGAR SNOwDEN-
In response to an enquiry from subscriber

In response to an enquiry from subscriber
at Fairfax Court House, it may be stated that
within the domain Of the Ottoman Porte, IN
Europe, there are several small nations which
have been by the enforced command of chris.
tendon held to preserve in part their Own au-
tonomy, but are yet considered as part OF the
Ottoman empire. These little princpalltles
of which Servia is ooe, are under the protec.
ton of the christian powers OF Europe who
participated 10 the Treaty Of Paris 1t would
be next to impossible for them to he satisfied
With Turkish rule, aud yet they are totally un'
able to stand alone, aud 10 single European
power is willing to see them under the domln-
ion or exclusive ''protec,ion" of any other
power. All the powers uominally have been
disposed to allow Turkey to maintain weak
hold upon them, so as to prevent them from
being added to strong power, but Russia, on
the present, as on previous occasions, has an
swered their constant complaints by undertak-
ing, osteusibly ia their behalf, but really for
her own aggrandizment, by the acquisition of
territory or by obtaining unobstructed exit
from the Black to the Mediterranean sea,
to separate herself from her allies in
the Treaty Of Paris, and the war is spe'
ciously for the protection Of the christian
subjects OF the Porte, who are, however, iu
many instances, DESTROYS Of 20 such protection,
and are fighting 10 large numbers under the
standard of the Crescent against the Russians.
The predsposng cause Of the war has existed
since the Danubian principalities came under
the dominion Of the Porte, the.exoiting cause
on this occasion is the adherence Of the Turk
ish government to the strict letter Of the Treaty
of Paris, which forbids foreign interference il
her domestic affairs. She agreed upon the
representation of the powers lately assembled
in conference to correct the abuses and cruel.
ties said to be practiced upon her christian
subjects, but denied that the powers had the
right to enforce that correction, aud upon thai
denial the conference, the majority Of which
were of the same opinion, dissolved, and Rus
sia declared war.

South, that none but good aud true republi-
caos shall have any of them, and that the last
ditch radicals shall be provided for before those
in whom the development of the radical disease
was occasioned by the inauguration of Mr..
Hayes. These are not lis exact words, but
they express his exact meaning, and very bad
meaning it is, too, for those who have recently
discovered-through the microscope of their
desire for ofice-in the removal of squads of

spoken of in connection with the U. S. Circuit
Judgship, made vacant by the death of Judge

General-that is Postmaster General OF the

course he has lately pursued shows that other
than desire to benefit bis section Induced him
to accept the place he now holds, the perma-

ably be more valuable than the prominence of
a Cabinet position, and would doubtless induce
him to accept the offer if it were profered.

to themselves and with satisfaction to the COM

next Thursday as they should, and as we have
every reason to believe they will do, the whole

and the possibility of the recurrence of some
of the unpleasant municipal events of the past
year be entirely removed.
