Another Exodus.

1t is rumored that another negro
exodus from the South has setin, the
State from which the movement
started this time being louisiana
OF course il win receive the encour-
agement of transportation conpan-
les and Of certain Republican philan-
thropists who are deeply interested
in depieting the population Of the
Southern States. There are many
persons ut the North. who labor un-
der the delusion that they are doing
the colored people a kindness in
facilitating their migration from the
South. Probably not a few havehad
their eyes opened by the recital of
the sufFerings of those negroes who
have settled in Kansas and Indiana,
but the impression appears still to
prevail at the North that the coudi-
ton of colored men at the South is
SO bad that their transfer to Northern
ft0caifittigs sthqufd be encouraged by all
who wish them well. Independent
observers who have investigated the
condition Of the Southern negroestell
n diffarent tale All of them con.
cede that the "store.credit" system
which prevails at the South is u
great evil, but they assert that this
must remedy itself in time. Other
wise, the colored mans lot is not
near so harsh as that Of many white
mechanics and laborers in the North,
ern States. He generally has an
abundance of food and clothing, fair
wages and frequently a house and
plot Of ground Of his own. A large
number of colored men in this and
other Southern States are really in.
dependent, and in many instances
are possessed of considerable landed
property and handsome money sur.
plus besides. Nowhere else in the
country is the colored man so happy
as in the Southern States. The eli,
mate suits him exactly, and his la.
Dor is always in demand, owing to
his special adaptation to the require,
meuts of Southern agriculture. 1t
is, therefore, mistaken kindness to
encourage schemes of emigration
among the negroes, especially when
the philanthropists who urge them
on have as yet given no indication
of a readiness to care for them or to
provide them with the means OF
earning a comfortable livelihood at
the North.-E.

The questions which wonld arise
in u contest relating to the amend
ments in question, so far as we know,
would be,
LIST. That many votes were count
ed "for ratification" when the tick
cts contained both the terms, "for
ratification and ''for REJECTION
neither being erased.
I'd. That the amendments did not
receive majority Of the votes "caSt
al The election"
There is no question but that if
votes were counted for ratification as
stated in the frs, objection, they
were Illegal, and it is alleged that W
some voting places the officers Of
election admit that they did SO count
the ballots.
In regard to the second objection,
1 it viii be seen that by the section oil
the act of the legislature quoted
above, the adoption of the amend
ments is made dependent upon their
receiving majority of the votes
cast at said election" That is to
say that ifout Of The whole number
of votes cast for any candidate or
candidates a. the October election, it
appears that less than u majority Of
that number favored ratification, the
amendments would fail of adoption.
A general provision Of the Consti.
tuition, however, relating to amend.
ments, declares that "if a majority Of
the qualified voters voting on the
question at the polls held pursuant
to such law, ratify the proposed
amendment, it shall be in force" etc.
By some it is held that there is q
manifest conflict between this clause
of the Constitution and the act sub
hitting the amendments nquestion.
Others hold that the term spells held
pursuant to such law" makes the
terms Of the act submitting the
amendment paramount, aud gives
the Legislature q discretion III the
matter
/ Now, as to this latter question, we
can very well understand how the
Governor could exercise u judgment
as to whether a majority of the votes
shown to be cast at the election,
should determine the result. 1t is a
question of which he would be bound
to take cognizance in ascertaining
the legal result.
But upon the question of votes
being Illegally counted for ratificat-
ion, be would perhaps, be bound to
take the certificates laid before him
as authority, whether he knew them
to include illegal votes. or not. At
least we know OF no process by which
these certificates could be impeach.
ed, and if there is any, we would be
glad to have it pointed out Register.

The Authority OF The Governor
Over the amendments.

Some Of the State papers are max
ing various appeals TO the Governor
for solution of the difficulties arising
under the amendments to the copsti
tuition.
The Richie Gazette calls upon him
to withhold his proclamation until
it can be ascertained whether the
amendments have been legally
adopted.
The Gazette afirms that the major.
ity on the 9th Article is small, and
owing to the way tickets were print.
ed and voted it may be question
whether it has properly received u
majority Of the vote, and that the
Executive ought to look into this.
The act of The Legislature, submit.
ting the Amendment TO Article Sth,
provides that, "On the twenty-Gfth
day after said election is held, or as
soon thereafter as practicable, the
said certificate shall be laid before
the Governor, whose duty it shall be
to ascertain therefrom the result Of
said electionin the State, and declare
the same by proclamation, published
in some one or more newspapers
printed at the seat of govern,nent.-
If a majority of the votes cast at said
election be for ratification, the said
proposed Amendment shall be in
force and effect from the time of such
ratification, and be part and parcel Of
the Constitution of the State, in the
place of Article Sth, asst now stands"
Now, whether the Governor can do
anything more than ascertain from
the certificates laid before him, what
the legal result of the vote has been
upon the Amendments, is the ques-
ton.
1t occurs to US that he would not
feel authorized to go behind the GER
tificates, conceding that he has such
authority ia any case, unless there
were some substantial allegation OF
irregularity in the voting.
He would not, for example, feel
called upon to investigate mere ru-
mors that votes were irregularly cast
and counted for the Amendments, il
no evidence of this appeared upon
the certificates.
He would not feel authorized to
hunt up such Irregularities unless
the certificates were impeached, and
even if that were done, where is his
authority to make the investigation
Who will impeach the certificates?
How will it be done? BY what pro,
cess or authority will an investiga.
tion be inaugurated?
We do not know Of airy net pro.
viding for contesting the ratification
of a constitutional amendment, and
we do not think any exists, although
we have not pushed our examination
very far, taking it for granted that the
special act Of the Legislature submit.

the laN relating to the subject.

The Pittsburgh and West Virgin.
ia Southern Railroad.

-
Wheeling Register.
The condition of the country war
rants the prediction that the next
two or three years will be favorable
for railroad building,
Money is plenty; the business Of
the country is prosperous; railroads
are making money; the carrying ca
pacity of existing roads is being tax.
ed TO its utmost; and with the gener-
al development of the country, new
lines of road will become necessities
II is good time to revive the dor.
mant enterprises heretofore project
ed in this State, and lift them upon
the wave Of prosperity which now
invites a new deal and inspires a
new hope Of success.
West Virginia should have cen
trail thoyoushfare, and the time vas
never more suspicious; the induce
nents were never greater; and no
railroad project ever contemplated
in the State has so much to recon-
mend it and insure its success as that
which lie known as the Pittsburgh
and West Virginia Southern.
Since the building Of this road was
first agitated, very great additional
indictment for building it has been
brought about by the extension of
the Chesapeake and Ohio from Hun
tington into Kentucky, making con:
nections with all the leading south
orn and western lines. The eSten.
sion has already been ceade 10 Ash
land and will be continued at once
on the old route of the Lexington
and Big Sandy to Lexington, whict.
road for several years has been grad.
ed but never completed. The Ches
apeake and Ohio will then have di.
rect connection with the new Gin.
cinnati Southern road To the South,
and through the Leading Western
lines running into Cincinnati to all
points in the West.
A central road from Pittsburgh
through West Virginia TO connect
with the Chesapeake and Ohio at
Huntington, would become a CON
Meeting link between two q the
greatest railroad lines in the coun.
try, and very direct line between
the North and the South.
1t strikes us that the Chesapeake
and Ohio would regard such con.
nection as Of sufficient value, as
feeder to its road, to give aid and
comfort towards its construction,
while at the other end, Pittsburgh
would be more than willing. to con.
tribute large share of the requisite
capital, thus assuring material aid
from each terminal point for road
that every town, county and district
in West Virginia could afford to con
tribute to, for it would be an adyant-
age to the whole State.
II would, perhaps, be . work of
less magnitude to extend the P, w,
Il KY. road, as once proposed, down
the river to connect with the Chasa.
peake and Ohio. This would be of
more advantage to Wheeling, but
