THREE Judges of Election in Vir-

eral election laws, upon charges of hav
ing refused to receive the votes of per
sons who had not paid their poll tax as
the Virginia law requires. In several
of the Northern States, the laws pre-
scribe educational qualifications, but
we have heard of the arrest of no State
officers for enforcing them

THERE is no misunderstanding the
organs of the bondholders. The New
York Tribune sounds the bugle for the
onset against silver, thus: ''If the
new Congress does its duty, the buzzard
dollar and the trade dollar will cease to
be a burden in the land. Wipe out
this whole silver fraud from beginning
to end. Silver dollars indeed-why not
have dollars made out of pig lead ?"

THRoUGH the courtesy of our popular
and efficient Secretary of State. Hon.
H. c. Myers, we are enabled to publish
the enumerations of population of all
except Adams, Franklin. Lauderdale,
Sharkey and Tate counties, under the
law passed at the last session of the Legis-
lature. In the same column are printed
the number of Representatives apportion-
ed to each county, and also the Senatorial
apportionment under the existing law
which went into operation on the 1st
Monday of January 1871. The appor
tionment is in full of ineongruities and
unjust determinations, and was n con-
trivance of the interested and designing
partisans who originated it. 1t may be
classed with the ''putrid "reminiscences"
of that era. The intention of its
trainers was to perpetuate Radical
power in the State, and if they did not
succeed it. was not due to any weak
point in their cunningIy devised scheme.
AS the figures speak for them
selves we will be content with
this bare reference at present. The
reader will examine them for himself
and draw his own conclusions.
Whether for good or evil, the appor-
tionment has served its term under the
Constitution, which says that an emu
meration shall be made every ten years
and that an apportionment shall be
made at the same time. The present
apportionment went into effect on the
LIST Monday in january 1871. At the
expiration of the present Legislature, it
viii have been in operation 10 years.
IF another Legislature Is elected under
it, It viii have been 10 operation as to
Representatives twelve years end as to
one-half the Senators fourteen years.
II properly belongs 10 the limbo Of
things obsolete.

THE American Public Health Asso-
citation is holding its annual session this
year in New Orleans. The special sub
ject for discussion in addition to those
suggested by papers to be read, is of
particular interest to New Orleans and
other Southern cities, viz, the best
methods of preventing the spread with
in town or city-after they have been
once introduced-of contagious and
spreading diseases. The Association
will not represent public sentiment, if it
fails to pass a resolution in favor of
continuing the National Health system.

We also firmly adhere to the political prin-

bear the future as we have the past fifteen
years, patiently awaiting the effect and
influence of time, and the awakening of the
sober second thought of the people. So
long as we are permitted TO enjoy-the ines
Unable privileges OF home rule, and SO long
as our State government Is administered in

dictates of wisdom and patriotism, Just so
long we need not despair of yet becoming a
prosperous people. Purified by the ''minis-

self-reliance by the unfriendliness of another,

THE teacher of a district school in
Clermont County, Ohio, refused col
ored boy DANES Cruse) admission to
the school, and was sustained by the
Trustees. The father of the boy
brought suit in the United States court,
claiming 100000 damages The court
held that separate schools having been
provided under the State laws, no class
of children was excluded. The races
were only separated therefore no
damages were awarded. Recollect that
this was Republican teacher, and the
trustees were Republicans, acting under
Republican laws in Republican State !;
and that Republican court rendered
the verdict.

 It is very often that we witness the raising of person from the grave but have had in this quiet town, what seems almost miracle.
 Some two three years ago Miss Martha Chandler,

She contracted hard cold and taken with at tack of bleeding at the lungs, which you well know is very dangerous Several weeks ensued befoAe she could be moved to her home and from that time she gradually failed and in less than twelve months she hopelessly sick with that dread monster consup tion.

The great illusionist, who was advertised for Wednesday evening of last week, was prevent ed from astonishing our benighted citizens at the appointed times by the clerk of the wealth CT. On Thursday evening, however, the pro- lessor appeared and ''done it" unquestionably to his own satisfaction in the honor of ap- bearing in his Propositions Magnifque." It is to be regretted that ''The Birds of Ole opatra" were not able to show because of the severity of the weather, and that the Cage of Archimedes' was broken. The ''Cabalis- tic Clock of the Tudors" and the Miraculous Nativity of Flowers" were also unavoidably detaind. However, the unbroken band of pro lessor and followers were on hand and labor ed hard to merit public appreciation, and doubtless would have succeeded had the artistic taste of the people of Madison been up to the standard. As it was, however, the illusion exchequer was benefited to the extent of $2. 75 only, and Friday mornings sun rose on a band of sad. disappointed, crushed illusion ists, Miss Zulettia, the beautiful and accom- plished Oircassian lady not excepted, vending their way from this village by the sea.

One of the latest tricks played upon shop keepers was successfully performed at Gin cinnati grocery the other evening A woman entered and ordered pound of the best coffee. She carried jar under her arm, and when the grocery man was about to pour the coffee in paper bag the customer told him to dump it into the jar instead. The man did so, the female leaning over the counter and still hold ing the jar under her arm, with the bottom of the vessel concealed. When she had received the coffee the,female put her hand in her annoyance cried: tI do declare, I have left my purse at home! I'll just set the jar of coffee down on the counter here while run in home and get the money" She placed the jar on the counter and went out, but she failed to return, and when the storekeeper picked up the jar he was surprised to find that it did not contain any coffee, and that the bottom had been knocked out. It then flashed into his mind that when he poured the coffee in the jar it ran through into bag concealed by the female sharper.

The Rights of Travellers.

The United States Supreme Court, sitting at Wash ington D. O., has just decided of general inter est to the travelling public. Frederick A. Lehman of washiDgto found it necessary to visit New York on busiess of importance, and being in delicate heah purchased 8 ticket for berth in Pullman palace car which the ticket agent assured him would be attached ' o the train at Alexandria and brought to Hyatts vile, where it would be joined to the New York train. The 'tsleeper" not attached until the train reached Baltimore, ard of this the plaintiff was not informed. Supposing the sleeping car had not bsen attached he remained all night in an ordi nary car, caught cold and WAS made sick. He there brought suit in the Circuit Court against the Pull man Car Company, laying damages at s5, 900, and ob tained verdict for $500 and costs of suit. The Pull man Company appealed to the Supreme Court. The defense that the railroad company having the en- control of the ments of these cars that pany, snd not the Pullman Palace Car Company, was responsible Justice Cox, in affirming the decision of the court below, discussed the relations the two panes bore to each other and held that Lehman, hav- ing bought and paid for the privilege of sleepingcsr berth from Washington to New York, was, therefore, entitled to it for the whole distance, and the pany, having failed to furnish the accommoda- which it had received full nsation, 1iah1
