Prescriptions of Law.

Mr.. BLAIR says In his opinion on the
subjec, OF apitaiion-taxes, registration,
&c, what here follows:
of a registered voter presents TO the
Judges Of election the certificate OF Tho
clerk of the court TO whose Office the as
SCISSORS books are returned, dated the day
Of election, or any other satisfactory eyi
dence. that no capitation-taX has been rs
sessed against such voter, then the law
prcsumes that such voter Is not liable tc
such taX."
This Is an extraordinary statement. We
should reverse the opinion exactly, and
state il as follows: II person is register
cd as a voter, then the law presumes that
he owes a capitation-tax to the Common
wealth. Look at the facts. The law re-
quired Of each voter-that is, each man
twenty-onc years old and over-the pay
ment Of a capitation.tax long before tho
Constitution provided that the prepayment
OF that tax should be one Of the qualifca-
tons Of voter. The language OF the
Constitution is as follows
every male citizen Of the United States
twenty.onc wears old who shall have
paid 10 the State before the day OF election
he cdpitQtion-tax required by ld,c for The
preceding wear shall be entitled 10 vote ioi
members Of the General Assembly and al
officers elected by the people"
Here II Is distinctly set forth that the tax
which man has TO pay in order TO quai1y
himself to vote Is one already "rcquired by
law" That law as existing then, and
which may be found on page 3l9 OF the
Code Of Virginia of 1s73-tbree years be-
fore the paymcnt OF the tax became one OF
the qualifications OF voter-reads as fol-
l0wss
"On every male person over the
ace Of twcnty-onc years not exempt from
taxation from bodily infirmiiy there snail
be ataX Of one dollar for public free-Schooi
purposes
Isn't that plain enough? First, every
man over twenty-one years Of age was re-
quired by law to pay dollar year. AZ
forwards every such man was required by
the Constitution to pay that tax as prerc-
Quisitc TO voting. So it is tax required
bv the Constitution and the law OF every
registered voter. Every man, therefore, Is
charceable with that tax whose name ap-
pears upon the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 1t Is
not simply presumption OF law that every
such man owes Gi he has not already PAID
this capita,on-iaX, but it is an actual fact.
The fact that his name is on the rcgistra-
tiOn-book is primd t0cie evidence that he
is liablc 10 the tax, The few men who are
exempted because OF bodily inirmity must
show that fact themselves ii they desire to
vote. The law presumes that they are lia-
bic to the capitatior-taX. The terms OF the
law embrace exactly the same men who are
possible voters.
We conclude, therefore, that Mr.. BLAIR
has put forth his opinion wrong end fore
most. Let him revise it and make it read
that every registered voter is presumed by
the law 10 he liable to the capitation-taX.

Governor CameTon's letter to Judge
Ward, telling him that he ought TO resign
his commission as visitor Of literary in.
stitution, TO which he had been appointed
10y Governor Cameron, because Of the fac
that he had changed his mind In referenc,
10 the character OF Governor Cameron.
administration, ought not 10 pass without
rebuke and contradiction.
IL was formerly the custom for our Gov.
errors to appoint visitors to such place,
from both the great political parties Of the
State. For instance, il occurs to me lust
now that Judge Crump, Democrat, and
General VI. III. Richardson, a Whlg, were
appointed on the Board OF the Virginia
Military Institute, rs John Is. Baldwin, a
Wing, and William j. Robertson, Demo
crat, were both appointed by Governor
Wise visitors 10 the University OF Virginia !;
and so on, a. far back as the commencement
ofthese institutions Untilnow, the only cX-
ception 10 the practice that know OF is
to be found in the case OF Governor lIOlli-
day; and against that know there was a
protest from the ReddjustcrS. This fact
proves that the Governors might have held
themselves responsible for the State insti-
iutlOns" and vet not have thought il ne
cessary 10 change their Boards, and, pro
'dnto, their policy, with every shifting ad-
ninislration; in other words, that proper
Of them did not depend on
he politics Of our Governors or Of their APP
'Ointees. And this | believe Governor |
'aincron knows perfectly well.
Judge Wards conduct think Is roman
c. He should have known that he owes
Is office only, not his conductsof it, TO the
oyeinor; and that when the Governor
Is disappointed and disguised his best

To the Editor Of the DiSpdtch:
Last night between the hours OF II ana |
O'Clock. during Il most terrific ram ana
wind-storm. n fearful thlnderbolt struck
and tore into fragments large locust tree
which was standing in 4 few yards OF the
new and beautiful mansion and country
residence OF Colonel j. l.. Darlington, OF
the Exchange Hotel, situated in rowhntan
county. Va. After dcmOlishing the tree
and tearing its roots from the ground, and
driving many of its large fragments through
the eastern side OF the dwelling in various
places, sweeping four columns out OF
six from the front porch, and crushing to
atoms the pantry. it tore away one end and
a portion ID the roof Of the servants house,
occupied ut the time by three servants. and
crushed to pieces n large portion OF the
yard-fencc. The fearful missile then en-
tered the southeast corner OF the dwelling
a few feet above bay window, pas ing out
at the sill Of the northwest corner, crush
ing nearly every lock and hinge to the
doors. and shattcring f. pieces ninety
pancS OF windoW-glss. To-day | saw
many fragments OF the tree scattered
in. various directions, which were driven
from fifty to one hundred yards. Colonel
Darlington was occupying the southwest
upper chamber and several mechanics the
northwest upper chamber, and my wife
and the northwest lower chamber. Every
one in the house had been aroused from
our slumbcrs 10y the storm. During the
fatal moment the whole house was blaze
OF light and filed with the most suiioca-
ting fumes OF sulphur, and not one OF its
inmates felt the slightest shock. j. j.
