PURSUANT TO CUSTOM, and in accordance
with the proclamation of the President, to.
morrow will be observed from one end of
the country to another as u day of National
Thanksgiving. The past year has been SO
crowded with calamities, national and local,
and with moving accidents by flood and
field" that some carping individuals may
not be able to see what it is that calls for
gratitude. There have been disasters by
the multitude, but we have been spared
from any widespread war, pestilence and
famine, and have seen the wonderful
stability of our institutions under the
heaviest sort of strain. A bird's-eye view
of the entire country, peaceful and pros
porous and contented with its present
condition, certainly calls for profound
thanks. The South has not known such a
trade revival since the war. Her lines are
stretching out in all directions.
The depression that hung over the bust
ness interests of Washington like pail
during the long summer months is fast
disappearing, and q season of thrift and
plenty is looked for.

The Sfofe objects % the plxp Of primary
election adopted on Friday night BY the
CIV COMMITTEES. II desires that the dele
gates ,hall be elected By the voters and Dc
left unpledged. 1t also thinks that the can
didates for the Senate and House OF Dele
gates ought not TO be nominated SO soon.
Theoretically we prefer that delegates 70
Conventions shalt be left unpledged. we
opposed the present plan very zea'ousiy
when Governor WALksR was first nomi'
mated. but we we're overruled by the COM
m,ttee, and we must acknowledge by the
publIc voice. In 1877 ia this city the can
dida,es for Governor were voted for directly
by the people. In 1878 and 1880 the candi'
dates for Congress we're voted for directly.
So the plan adopted is In this respect not
new, but one to which the voters are accus'
toned. The candidates would OF course
take care TO appoint the most influential
men they could select ont Of their support
ers.
In 1880, however, unpledged delegates
were elected TO the State Convention TO
send delegates TO Cincinnati. The STATE
cannot have forgotten the sequel.
Nevertheless, we are content to take
either plan.
As to the rest, we agree with the State
that the day fixed upon for the primary
election is entirely too early to nominate
candidates for the Senate aud House OF
Delegates. And there is no reason why the
delegates 10 the August Convention should
be chosen before the 1.t or I'd OF August
The City Committee, too, can as well DE
chosen then as earlier. All the work OF
the campaign /, 10 be done after August
4tb, and the present committee can best
perform the preliminary work.

Disabilities.
triumph.

Referring to statement which had been
made by the State that General WILLIAM IL.
PAYNE is ineligible TO the office OF Cover
nor, the Wing says:
.But the Dispatch (whose editor has
been recommended by the State for Attor-
uey.General) argues that the Legislature to
he elected next November could cure all
disabilities of the nature to which General
Payne NAV be supposed to allude. The
General is right, however, and the Dis
patch, as usual, is wrong, II the General has
ao,o any OF The disabilities suggested; for
eligibility on the 9Th OF November, II then
lacking, cannot be supplied by any subse-
quent act OF any power vested anywhere In
our Government"
The Dispatch is right, and General PAYNE
is right, too. 1t is his bounden duty not to
allow himself TO be nominated for Gov.
eruor without making the fact known
IL he knows that be Is under disabilities. 1t
is for the Democrats to decide for them
selves whether they will nominate him not
outstanding his disabilities. and run the
risk OF getting those disabilities removed
by the Legislature, which meets a month
before the Governor takes his seat.
HENRY CLAY was under disabilities when
he was first appointed to the United States
Senate. He was born in 1777, and appointed
senator 10 1906. The Constitution Of the
United States provides:
"No person shall be senator who shall
not have attained the age Of thirty years,
and been nine years a citizen OF the United
States, and who shall not when elected be
au inhabitant OF that State for which he
shall be chosen"
When Mr.. CLAY was appointed he was
less than thirty years old. Nevertheless be
took his seat 10 due time. Why? Because
there Is q manifest difference between the
capability Of being elected or appointed
eligibility and the capsbility Of taking an
Office. Note the words OF the Constitution.
He shall be an inhabitaut aphen chosen. lie
can't become an inhabitant after being

Constitution merely provides that he shall
not, whilst under disabilities, be allowed

At Sharon the story was told about the
killing OF Dock Carter by Obadiah Yates,
about which the Dispatch had telegram
yesterday. II seems that these parties had
been in the habit OF bandying words with
each other. On Tuesday last quarrel
arose about the quantity Of work which had
been done by some OF the hands in the
corn. field, and the Tic was passed to and fro.
Yates then approached Carter, on which
Carter said. Where are you coming tor"
and then Yates struck him with the hoe,

afterwards. His body, when the coroner
went to view ii, was found lying ON one

was upon the helye. After Carter had fal.

marty who are now denouncing them as
Crip-sackers, Bourbon Republicans, &c. ;
whilst the Democratic party will fall heir
10 the rank and file. Every consideration
growing out Of a regard for sound policy,
therefore, demands that the Republican
party shall have It's own candidates ior
State officers this year. And that IL VIII
have them becomes more and more appa-
rent as the election comes nearer.
Nevertheless, the Democrats are going to
elect all their candidates for the State offices
whether the Republicans run candidates or
not. The very best Republicans in Vir-
giuia will refuse 10 support the MALONE
ticket whether they have ticket OF their
own 10 support or not. They have def
nitely made up their minds so far as that
question Is concerned. They have been
told by the President himself that be
does not like State chooses" In poll
tics, aud that be does not intend to
allow any man to dictate appointments to
him. II he would moi allow so great
man and boss as Mr.. COSKLING to dictate
appointments for New York, it may be as
sumed as fact beyond all question that he
will not allow such boss as General Ma
HONE to fill the Government offices in Vir-
GINA for him. The Republicans, there
fore, will feel free to vote as they choose.
We conclude, then, that the Democrats
will surely succeed whether the Republicans
nominate ticket or not. The $1,000 OF
last November can't be made to grow up
TO the $4,000. The latter will grow more
rapidly than the former. The people will
triumph.
