Payment Of Capifatien Tax as q Prere.
qulsitc to Voting,

In response to several inquiries from
elective sfficers and others, asking in
formation concerning the late amend
ments to the constitution touching the
election franchise, / take this method
ofanswering first:
The capitation tax must be tpaid be-
fore the day Of election.
Second: The capitation tax required
to be paid is that Of the preceding
year," To entitle the voter to vote at
the approaching election he must have
paid his capitation (of one dollar to the
State) for the year 1876. 1t is not re-
CURED that the tar. for 1877, nosO being
collected. shall be paid.
Third: Any evidence satisfactory to
the judges of election that the capita
ton tax for the preceding year" has
been paid is sufficient. The tax receipt
is the best evidence, but the law does
not contemplate that the voter always
has this in possession. The judges Of
election may rely upon the word or the
oath ofthe voter. The matter of proof
ON this point is entirely in the discretion
of the judges of election.
Respectfully,
II. H. RIDDLEBERGER,
Atty for Commonwealth.

2. To reapportion among the counties
and districts the representation which
each is to have in the General Assembly

vacancies which may occur among the

CUTTING OUT A NERVE TO CURE
Decentralization several years Judge
Bay: of st. Louis, has been a great suf.
ferer from facial neuralgia, and to avail
himself ofany benefit that might posi-
bly, result from change ofclimate spent
most of 1873 in California and the last
part of lS74in Colorado without any ma
terial benefit, and on his return from
Colorado DIR. Hodgen cut out little
over one-half Of the fifth facial nerve.
and for seven or eight months the Judge
experieced entire relief from the disease.
but at the expiration of that time it grad.
ually returned upon him with increased
severity, until life was almost uRbeara-
BILE. DR.. Hodgen became satisfied that
the separate parts of the nerve had uni
ted, and he detimined to perform,a Sec
ond operation, and on the It'll inst cut
out two inches of the nerve and remoy-
ed several collateral branches. The op-
Grafton lasted fifteen minutes, was ex-
ceedngly painful, land though the Judge
declined to take chloroform or any OPT
ate he stood the knife without tlinching,
The judge has had no return of the neu-
ralglc pains, and all the indications are
that the operation will prove eminently
successful.

INCUR next issue we may be able to
give theresult,of the election in this
county. Shenandoah will give the
Conservative ticket fine vote, we can
notsay majorty.-for there is no OPP
position. HlWhether our republican
friends will seek the opportunity of
casting their entire vote for Col.
Holiday and his associates CT remain
away from the polls We are not pre-
pared to say, but certainly every Con-
sentative should vote and show
to the people Of the State that
weaare- proud to vote for the Valleys
choice for governor. All opposition
has very wisely ceased. The indepen-
dent candidate for Governor has with
drawn from the contest, and Col.
Richardson, after a very short cam
paign, haswe are informed, also with
drawn, so that there is clear field
without opposition. While there is no
danger of defeat, let us by our heavy
voteshow that we appreciate the OPP
portunity ofvoting for good men for the
highest positions which the State can
give. Vote for the regular State ticket
and Tor the. best men for the Legis-
lature. 5eehr ,s,--

Senator Morton Dying.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29.-In regard
to Senator Morton's condition to night
the truth is perhaps best told by the
following, which will appear il, the ed
itorial columns Of the Journal to- NOR
row morning:
Senator Morton is gradually sink
ing, and it now seems scarcely posi-
bly, that he can last more than day
or two. Hopes strengthen the
hearts of his friends for an hour
ort wo each day, but when on return
Of night they compare his condition
with that of the day before there is
some new evidence Of growing weak
ness and new complications in bis dis
ease which Leaves all in despair.

GROWTH AND PROSPERITY OF RICH
MoND, VA.-The population of Rich
mond, Va, despite the war, has doub-
led since 1860. From a local census,
instituted last year, the population was
shown to have reached upward of r.
900. 1t has five railway outlets, James
river and the canal running to the Al
leghenies. Work on the James river.
looking to the accommodation of vessels
of heavy draft, is progressing rapidly.
Richmond numbers 33l factories Of all
sorts. Everything is made there now,
from a lucifer match to a steam engine.
The sales from her factories in the wear
1876 reached the sum of s22, 424, $40.
Her wheat and corn mills produced to
the value of s2,347, 900; her forty-one
tobacco factories $l2,O5S, 800; her iron
works 81, 032, $50. These are examples
Of what has been accomplished in a
town laid waste by fire and war from
1861 to 1865.

The radicals Of Cleveland, Ohio, put a
colored man on their ticket to secure
the colored vote. They succeeded. The
colored people there caught by the
same old trick that makes dupes of them
everywhere it is tried, and voted to a
man for the ticket. The radicals also
voted to man, but took good care to
scratch the name of the colored candi-
date from enough tickets to secureI his
defeat. Negroes are good enough to 60
on radical tickets, but not good enough
for radicals to elect. After a time,
probably, they will find out who are
their real friends, and, when they do,
will vote the democratic ticket.

estimated extent of $4,000. John r.
Welsh is proprietor and Tony Denisr
lessee of the museum and theatre, the
loss on which is estimated 415,000 to
$4,000 The insurance is two or

For years, we have not had SO qui ct
a contest for seats in the Legislature.
Shenandoah has but four candidates
and some of these have not canvassed
the county. So little has been said
upon the subject that we are not able to
say how our nearest neighbor will vote.
There is but little difference, if any, in
the views of the candidates upon the
questions which have been brought into
the canvass. There have been no dis
cussions and the vote will be governed,
in no small degree, by personal and
local preferences. We are sure to
have good representatives. who they
are, we will endeayor to tell our readers
in our next isue.

THIS quiet canvass may be easy on
candidates, but it is very discouraglng
to printers. We have not issued a
single circular telling the people that
all the candidates are gentlemen and
worthy Of their support. We had a
font of type that is just suited to the
line "To the voters of Shenandoah
County" but it has remained idle in
its case. No one seems DESTROYS to tell
the people how great good he can do for
them in the halls of legislation. Our
neighborlng counties, Frederick and
Rockingham are almost boiling over
with excitement. Circulars are thrown
broad cast upon the winds and job
presses are making full time. How sad
the degeneracy of the times! Poor can
didates, we sympathise with you, but
fear you willnot appreciate your easily
won honors.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Unless a
majority of the House can be obtained
to carry IN early adjournment to-
morrow a perfect avalance of resolu-
tons and bills on the currency, tariff
and other questions will be let loose.
Probably at least hundred members
have measures on these subjects already
prepared, and which they are anxious 10
get in at the earliest opportunity. 1t is
the wish of many of the democratic
leaders, and in this view they are secon.
ded by some Of the more prominent re-
publicans, that it will be as we'll to
avoid the precipitation Of all such
matters until after the November cleo.
tions. But it is doubtful whether this
can be prevented.

class, and with fifty barrels, or only
eighteen thousand pounds to the car

cent, below grain, the latter being load
ed at from twenty-four thousand to

The value of a carload of corn is about

at about so, 500. The railroad compa-

Jonesboro' (Tenn.) corr espondent of
the Knoxville Tribune gives the follow
ing particulars of the death of the Rev.
DR.. w. E. Munsey, which occurred at
Jonesboro' on Monday morning last !:
''He had been suffering intensely from
pain in his head for several days past,
and had spoken of a slight pain IN the
region of the heart. He said to his
wife Sunday night that he did not ex-
pect to live through the day, but as he
was no worse than he had been
it was thought that he was
feeling Respondent. His brother-in-
law, Kennedy Blair, had been with him
for two weeks past, but, thinking he
was better, had sent to the liverystable
for horse to 60 home. The doctor was
sitting il an arm chair, and Mr.. Blair,
seeing hat he seemed to be suffering
asked him if he did not want to lie
down. The doctor was then assisted
to the bed, and seemed to be much
weaker than usual. After Mr., Blair
had assisted him to bed he stepped out
of the room for some purpose. When
he came back the doctor was on his
knees by the bedside, and Mr.. Blair
thinking that he was having nervous
attack went to his assistance and took
him in his arms. The doctor called his
name once, threw his head on Mr..
Blair's shoulder and died instantly, and
without struggle. For long while
the DOCTORS nervous system has been
shattered, and he had been unable to
undertake any work."

now stands where he did when he and
