g That at the Election held in the Town
Court of Frederiksted on the 22nd May
last, to elect a Member for the Country
District nthe jurisdiction of said town,
a voter, whose name was on the list of
entitled voters, was denied thep privilege
Of voting, III accordance with SIS of the
Colonial law, which however reads, in
regard to the qualification of one entitled
to vote: Gle must, however, have
resided at least two years in the munici-
patty, and six months within the elective
district, in which he s%ojourns at the time
the election takes place, and his name
must be on the list of persons entitled to
yote.'-and as this paragraph has been,
in our opinion, misinterpreted, more
especially as a difference of opinion arose
among the Members of the Elective Board,
on the day of election; which accompany.
ing copy of dissenting vote entered by ONE
of the members shows; and as said para.
graph has been otherwise acted upon. at
othertimes, as will be seen by the follow.
ing facts, we beg, respectfully, to call your
attention to the circumstance, as at any
time hereafter, voters will be deprived the
privilege of voting, managers of Estates
especially, who have to remove from one
district to another.
The facts above referred to are as fol-
lows: That on the 10th April 1876 mem.
bers were being elected for the country
district of IrederikSted, and a voter, who
was attached to the list Of voters of said
district, but who had removed and lived at
Estate Peters Rest (Christiansteds Dis
trict) went to said Election, and his vote
was taken, his name being OH the list of
voters.
Again in 1879, at the election for Mem
bers for Christiansteds Country District,
a voter, who had formerly resided within
that District, but had since removed to
Estate Mountain (St. G~eorge's) went to
the election and voted, his name also
being on the list.
At the election of 22nd ulto. if the voter
had not been denied his vote, the election
might bave terminated differently.
We have therefore respectfully to request
that the rable Council will take in
consideration the unprecedented act of
denying a voter, whose name is ON the
list of voters, the privilege of voting, nyl
if possible annul he election held on tho
22nd May last, i'll Frederiksteds Town
Court.

The Chairman placed under discussion
the question whether the question OF the
validity of the election should be decided
at once, or whether the decision should be
postponed, as recommended by a part OF
the Council.
3rd Crownmember Fdberl thought it
would be very desirable to postpone the
decision. because he supposed, or rather
was sure, that the decision in this case
would exercise some influence on future
elections for Members of the Council. AS
he had formed the minority in the Elec-
tive Board, he would beg to explain his
minority vote in this case. Honorable
Members will have noticed from the pro-
test. on what grounds the voter in ques'
ton was refused the right of voting on the
occasion. He, however, would interpret

The full effect Of the reorganization will not,

will attain u stupendous total. But already,
in the ten years from tho evil days of 1870
has very much been done, not alone in in
creasing the numerical strength of the French
army, but in the substitution Of efficiency for
sham. Ofany army that ever took tho field

Republican Ratification Meeting In Cor
lonsyille.

Wednesday night the republicans of Cor
donsville, in tho eighth district of Virginia,
by way OF expressing their joy over the good
news from Indiana, had rousing meeting in
tho open air at which stirring speeches were
made by Mr.. r. f. Tancil, II. r. Alexander
and A. w. Harris the Garfield elector for that
district Harris, in speaking at a republican
meeting in the town two weeks ago, had said,
in response to an inquiry from some ono in
the audience, that he had no fears about the
election of the presidential ticket, for he felt
sure that Indiana would go republican, and
he thought that no sane man would stop to
question what Ohio's position would be on the
"a of November" He asked that his words on
that point be carefully noted, for he might
have occasion to refer to this again. So when
he referred to this prediction Wednesday
night the audience shouted with thunder Of
applause for some ilvo minutes. Ho urged in
a masterly and convincing speech the claims
of Bayly for congress, as did also Messrs.
Tancil and Alexander, tho latter giving a

Meeting In Gloucester.

To the Editor of The National Republican:
SIR: | am sure that you will be pleased to
hear that tho republicans of the first district
of Virginia are fully united, and are making
n vigorous fight for the candidates, ,presi'
dental and congressional, and with good pros
poets of success. Colonel Volt, our nominee
for congress, and myself have canvassed and
spoken in eight Of the counties of the district,
and we have found but one republican who
does not give us his hearty support. We con-
fdently expect 10 carry this district, and arc
satisfied that the state will so republican if
our voters can be onfranchlsed, If our friends
contemplate giving Us material aid, 1t should
be done at once. Very respectfully,
w. W. ID.
