HOUSE Bill No. O5 amending certain
sections Of chapter l0l ofthe ActSoi 1928,
and which passed the Senate yesterday,
contains some wise additions to tho statute
law in regard to marriages and who are
eligible candidates for the marital state.
Ono section Of the present bill provides
penalties for certain nameless and un-
natural crime, OF which certain persons
stand charged in this State, and who are
now awaiting trial. The section defines
tho crime as a felony and prescribes q pun
ishment Of confinement in the peniten-
tiary for not less than three nor more than
zen years. In defining the relationship
barring marriages the bill restores one
provision Of the Code Of 1868, which pro-
hibits a man from marrying his grand
daughter, which may be wise precauton
on the part Of the trainers OF the bill, but
almost as unnecessary as the provision
prohibiting man from marrying his
mother.in-law. The Senate amended the
bill by striking out the lines, "Nor shall
any person hereafter marry his or her first
cousin" The arguments against such
unions arc well known, and the consc-
quences and responsibilities rest entirely
with the parties to the contract; and, even
II prohibited by the statutes, they would
ha oooa,,y,, p,otoJ n,,Iat1o IT tIn ;u.;gJ;o,;o,,
Of the State. When the bill was before
the committee Mr.. Donehoo offered a rcso.
luton on the subject stating that "while
the Legislature docs not prohibit marriage
between firsecousins, they would respect
fully recommend them to desist from such
union" Whether this good advice will be
acted upon will be altogether owing to the
: tenderness OF the attachment and the good
sense and judgment Of the parties for
whose benefit it is promulgated.

West Virginia one OF the greatest Of the
American States, As for Reputation, and
the justice Of Reputation under certain
circumstances, we have the highest Of all
authority. Will you read the 9th chapter
OF Nehemiah That prophet not only made
the Jews, creditors, enter into solemn
Obligation 10 forgive their creditors and
release them, but he concluded with thii
language:
"AlSo shook my cap and said: So Coz

A VERY important amendment to Senate
bill No. 1888, reported by the Revisory Com.
mittee, is now pending in the Senate. The
amendment was introduced by Senator
Boyd Faulkner on "Wednesday, and the
bill is now before committee for ex.
animation. The change sought to be made
is in the seventh section OF the bill relating
to procuring testimony in legislative pro-
ceedings," defining moro specifically nc
tions OF contempt and providing for the
punishment Of persons in contempt Of
either House or its officers. The pres
ent law has been in effect for over forty
years, and has been preserved with few
other traditions OF no special value, and
reverenced more on account OF its age than
practical utility.
The old law provides that in case Of con-
tempt Of . joint committee obedience shall
be enforced as the two houses may deter
mine by joint resolution. The impractica-
bility Of this method OF proceeding is evil
dent when 1t is known that a joint commit
tee is not strictly joint committee, but is
composed Of integral committees Of the
House and Senate. No question before
such committee can be decided by q
majority vote OF the committee sitting as a
65int committee, but by the committee OF
each house acting independently Of the
other. Thus OF lite when u contempt was
committed before a joint committee both
houses were required to take cognizanCe OF
the'same and enforce obedience and inilict
penalties by concurrent resolution. 1t
was only recently that an example was
given OF the practical working OF this pro
vision. One house passed joint resolu-
ton relating to matter Of con-
tempt before joint committee, but further
proceedings were quashed by tue refusal of
the other house to concur, and the con-
tempt was practically unpublished.
Blythe amendment offered by Mr.. Faulk-
ner' 1t is assumed that each house is the
judge Of its own honor, and that each shall
take cognizance Of contempt independent
Of the action Of the other. For instance, a
joint committee is sitting, and contempt is
offered; the chairman Of the committee
issuing the summons shall take cognizance
Of the same and report to the house from
which the committee was raised, and the
Senate or the House, as tho case may be,
cant then act in the premises without refer
ence TO proceedings in tue other branch OF
the Legislature.

Now, for my own part, | haze never used
epithets against the people Of Virginia or
West Virginia, or against the parties into
which they are divided. Ibelieve the peo.
pie OF these States are the nobicst and
grandest on earth; that they hold their

the war has no parallel in history. WHY.
sir, your own party in this State enacted n

The opponents of the present tariff have taken
pains to present whatever arguments they
corld AGAINST the system. Its advocates have
not found it necessary to do more than present
the reasons for investigating the SUBJECT b''
what advantage has the Republican party los''

incs of the tariff, and manifested an earnest
desire to rectfy them. Its opponents, while
pointing out incidental defects as If they were
nroofs that the whole system was vicious nave
shown an especial anxiety to prevent the re-
moval of those objections, unless the Whoie
system can be demolished. The sole object OF
the Democratic arguments has seemed to be
10 make party capital. The evident object OF
tbo Republicans has been to remedy such de-
fccts in existing legislation as experience has
disclosed or change of circumstances mas
couscd. No wonder that. under such circum-
stances. Democratic speeches have had very
little effect upon public opinion. In iact' so
far rs the discussion has had any effect, 1t has
tended to strengthen the convictions OF hepuD-
licans.
But the main fact is that the whole discus
sion has fallen dead. Nobody has paid much
attention TO it. Well-conducted Journals OF
both parties have wasted very little space IN
reports of the speeches. for the excellent reason
that the public did not care to follow IT, NO
Democratic journal has given more complete
reDorf of any speech than TIE TRIBUNE gave
of the specch of Mr. Hewitt against the tarlii.
This WAS given rs matter of news, that the
arguments offered against the pending Dill ny
ore OF the ablest Democratic leaders might be
fully understood. Bat neither that speech, nor
aDv other on that side, has made much impress
sion on public opinion.
In process of time, perhaps, the Democrats may
comprehend that tangible facts are more eloquent
than long-winded speeches. The people of the
countrv do not need Congressional OratO1y to
teach them that they are sngnlarly prosperous
The abest orations of thousand orators like
Mr. Hewitt would not make the people forget
the fact that they have never been more pros
porous before, under any system OF dntles'
than they are now. Yet the country has sui
fered loss Of crops so great that, at almost
any other time, it would have produced great
industrial distress and commercial disorder.
The Democrats expect the people to be bind
to all these things. Some Democratic voters
doubtless are. But the prevailing opinion
throughout the country is that the cxtracrdi-
nary prosperity of the past few years has been
due, in large measure. to wise Republican leg
islation, and that the party which has brought
about this state of things is unquestionahly
the best to remedy any defects that may ex-
st in the present system. This opinion has
only been confirmed by the debate, and espe-
cially by the partisan unfairncss Of Democratic
sncnchas.
New-York tribune., 1882-04-18
4 rERDICT ~ sOUTH CAROLINA.

The first of the election trials in south Caro-
lima has resulted in a partial victory for the
Government This viii occasion some sur
prise, for it was generally believed that, no
matter what the eN ldence might be, no South
Carolina jury would ever agree upon verdict
which would subject South Carolina Demo-
Gratis to fine and Imprisonment. The accused
were the managers of election in Acton Pre-
cinct Richland County. There were eight
counts in the Indictment against them. The
first, second and third charged that the mana
gers had hindered and Obstructod the Super
visor Of Election in the performance OF his duty
by refusing to allow him TO see whether or not
the balot-b0x was empty before the voting
began, The remaining counts charged the
managers with stuiling the ballOt-bOx with
tissue ballots The evidence was strong in
support of all the counts. That the Supervisor
was hindered in the performance of his duty
was established SO clearly that the jury could
not refnse a verdict to that effect. On the
other counts it was shown cOnclusiyely that
there were tissue ballots in the box, but the
Jury probably gave the benefit Of the doubt
about the way in which they get there to the
managers, and let that point pass. Judge Bond
in his charge said that il the jury were satisfied
from the evidence that the managers put the
fraudulent ballots into the box, or caused them
to be put there, or knowing them to be there
suffered them to remain and be counted, then a
verdict of guilty must be rendered. The jury
were evidently not satisfied that the managers
knew quite so much us that about the little
jokers"
The verdict rendered is serious enough to
cause the chivalry a good deal OF lnconycnl-
ence The penalty prescribed by the statutes
for obstrucring or hinderiDg a Supervisor in
the discharge of his duty is imprisonment for
not more than two years or fine of not more
than three thousand dollars, or both fine and
Imprisonment, and costs of the prosecution.
Two of the white jurors seem to have been
successfully bulldozed after they had signed
the verdict, for they informed the Court on
Monday that they had signed on Saturday
under msapprehensiOn and under stress
of bodily pain -; but the Court very properly
ruled that their avowa. coming after their
verdict had been rendered and themselves dis
charged, was too late. If they had said their
retraction was made under threats of bodily
pain few people would have disbelieyed them.
Their retracton gave the defence an excuse to
move for new trial, and thus delay sentence,
which may be considered by the Democrats as
a point gained. The Democratic State Com
mttee has been entertaining the convicted
brethren in fine quarters during the trial, and
will probably continue to do SO until they are
forced to leave them for the penitentiary, il
Judge Bond is so obdurate as to send them
| there
