Gen. Grant is reported rs SAYING
in his speech at Shanghai, that Hhe
wished he bad known ten years ago
what he had lately learned, and that
his experience in that part Of the
world would be of interest, and pos.
|sibly Of great use, in.thefuture. Ne
do not know what he has learned
during his travels abroad, but we do
know that he had d great deal to
learn ten years ago, and showed lit
tie disposition to enlighten his ignor-
ance. His presidential career was
as bad atthe end us at beginning.
There was no improvement between
1869 and 1877, and his last term WAS,
In some respects, even worse than the
first. He progressed backwards.
We do not think that IN any part
of the world yet visited, Gen. Grant
has found d people making the
slightest pretensions to freedom and
intelligence who would have borne
with equal patience the burdens his
administration laid upon the Amer
lean people. Buyonet government
in the South and ring rule in the
North have never been matched in
any foreign land in modern times
They are American productions for
which Grant is mainly responsible.
We infer that his extensive peram-
mutations has opened his eyes some-
what, and that he realizes faults and
follies and would like to have an OPP.
portunitySto make atonement. Any
atonement, consistent with his re-
turn 10 private life, his countrymen
are willing to receive; but they do
not want, and will not have, any
more of him in public, life. He can
write out his confessions and apollo
GIGS when he gets home; and then
folding his martial cloak around him,
lie down to pleasant dreams-from
which no "boom" is likely toawaken
him.-M Y Sun.

the effect of the adoption Of the pro.

Editor Register: The question has
been raised among a part Of our

amendment to article eight of our
State Constitution, which is to be
voted upon ut the general election
for State officers in 1880, will abolish
any and all notifications of our

will discontinue the effect Of the law,
should the same be ratified, providing
for County Judge in Mason County,
in leiu Of our present County Court,

The State of West Virginia, for a
number Of years past has been thor
oughly Democratic, and it is conced-
ed that the Democrats can carry the
State by from ten to fifteen thousand
majority. A scheme is now on foot
in the Third District, headed by Hen
ry S. Walker protested Green
hacker, and aided by many Rcpubli,
cans, to divide the Democratic patty
in that district. The plan is for the
Greenbackers and Republicans to
| join hands, in order that they might
accomplish this object. To further
carry out their purposes they propose
torun Mr.. Henry s. Walker for Con-
gress from their district, to defeat the
Hon. John e. Kenna, the present eff
ficient Democraticincumben in Con.
gress. AT this early moment we are
not informed as TO whether the Hon.
John Il. Kennais DESTROYS Of serving
another term, but we feel assured
that should such be the case, we be-
lieve the Democracy of the Third
District will, without doubt, send
him back again where he has done
SO much excellent service for the
Democratic party.
The object of Henry S. Walker, in
this movement, is not somuch to aid,
or build up the Greenback party, as
to cripple or break down the Demo
cratic party of West Virginia.
There is not particle Of evidence OF
his sincerity in this matter; he is a
disappointed Democrat, and is deter
mined to do all in his power for its
defeat. Like many others, who are
Democrats for Office, not from princi.
Iple Brook county has a few Of the
same sort. They ,re very valiant as
long as there is a prospect for emolu-
ment, but when defeated for q nomi-
nation they set up a bowling about
some supposed ring that caused
their defeat. They then leave the
party and worship at some other
shrine. There is little doubt, how
ever, but the Democrats in the Third
District are abundanlly able to take
care Of their interests. They will
see to it that this little game Of the
enemy shall not deter them from
standing by their party when The
proper time comes Fanhdndie Nous

notifications Of this tribunal must
fall, as these notifications in our
County Courts are but alterations Of
that law which provides for the ex-
istence Of the County Courts them
selves, and these notifications are
still the County Courts in fact, under
the provisions of article eight Of our
State Constitution. Then when the
law which provides for their tolera-
ton is repealed the Courts them
selves must not, and cannot, exist
longer.
The part Of the proposed amend
ment which has given rise to the
question under consideration is con-
tained in section nineteen thereof,
and is in The following language:
sand all Courts Of limited jurisdic-
ton heretofore established in any
county, incorporated city, town, or
village, shall remain as at present
constituted until otherwise provided
by law 1t is suggested that the
various notifications Of the County
Court, as existing in some Of the
counties of this State, are Courts Of
limited jurisdiction" within the
meaning of the aforementioned
clause of said article. To this con-
struction we cannot give our assent,
for the simple reason that these mod
ifcations havea jurisdiction Just as
broad and ample, as to the trial Of
causes, as the County Court in their
uncorrupted form, and if. these re-
main IN essc so then must the County
Court proper; but then this We know
is not intended by the amendment,
for it can not be that the Legislature
would so stultify itself as to retain
one prominent feature of our judi,
ciary by the very act, or rather reso-
luton, by which they designed to
destroy the same.
But if this construction cannot be
maintained, it will be seen BY the
i ~
language already quoted from section
nineteen of said proposed amend
ment, that the act providing for a
county judge law in Mason county,
cannot be within the contemplation
of the said section contained in said
proposed amendment, as it applies
to Courts of limited jurisdiction"
at the time the resolution was adopt
ed, to-wit, March 6, 1879, when, in
deed, our ratification Of the said act
cannot be had until the first Tues
day in August next, so it cannot, in
the very nature of things, be possible
that the modification of the County
Court which the law proposes for the
ratification Of which, we are to vote
at the next election, can be within
the purvicw of said proposed amend
mcnt. We, therefore, have no hes
|itatiqn in saying that said proposed
amendment, should it be adopted,
will abolish the office of County
Judge Of Mason county should the
law, providing for the same, be APP
proved in August next.
