John :. Wise's m riOrity,

FIN the above table Petersburg is not in

ter il omitted altogether, because 1t gave
MASSEY a maiOriiy.1
This table shows also, OF course, that
MASSEY must have received about nine
thousand majority in the sixty-eight white
counties.
But how will future elections be affected
by the new constitutional amendment!
We think it may be safely predicted that
the Democrats cannot well be worse of
in any future contest than they were in the
one Just over The majority OF white
voters IN the State il about seventy-eight
thousand, and we know Of no rca-
son why our maioritcs shall not
be increased more in the white cOun-
ties than the Coalitonists' maiortieS
in the black counties. The Coalitionists
carried this time too many OF the counties
which have a majority OF white men.
They used the capitation-taX in two ways
rs a means Of defeating the Democrats
first, by charging the Democrats with de-
sire 10 continue that tax a. 4 qualification
OF voters, and, secondly, 10y voting the ne
groes upon taX-recciptS issued ty unlawful
collectors. These things can never cut
down our majorties again.

The scene about the Valley depot Is

which the Valley road will pass. just on
the opposite side another force Is cngaSeu
in making deep cut through the hill oppo-

A Precedent.

When CANNON and CAMPBELL ran for
Congress in Utah in 1881 the Governor
Of Utah gave the certificate OF election to
CAMPBELL although CANNON had been
elected by large majority. When CAMP
BELL presented himself at the clerks desk
Of the House OF Representatives 10 De
sworn I'm, objection was made ana the
House refused 10 allow him TO be sworn
upon the express ground that CANNON had
received majority Of the votes.
This will serve as precedent for GARRI-
SON or any other Virginia congressman
who may be kept out Of his certificate OF
election by the Virginia Returning Board.
No such man will be allowed to be sworn
certainly not until the House OF Rcprescn-
tatives shall have ordered it to be done.
Whoever goes TO Washington with ma
iority of votes certified from the regular
election officers will be seated upon his
primo fdcie case; but whoever goes there
with a minority OF votes certified by the
regular election officers, and a majority
only by the said Returning Board, will he
kent out Of the scat he claims until the
House itself shall have decided the case.
In the mean time he will get no pay. This
we learn from one who knows.

The Internal Taxes.

II the Washington Post is in earnest in
its expressions Of q desire to see elections
in the southern States relieved from the
manipulation Of Federal officials, it must
fall in with those who are advocating the
entire abolition OF the inteTnal-reyenuc de-
partnRnt. There are four OF five thousand
men regularly employed in that department
OF the Government, every man OF whom,
whether in the North or the South, may
safely be set down as an enemy Of the De
mocratic party and constant, untirinS,
and effective worker for the Republican
party. Besides the men regularly en-
poyed, there are others who are ap-
pointed upon occasion to perform I'M
known duties OF very particular nature,
but who travel from place TO place cleo
toneerng for the Republican candidates
for whatever offices are 10 be filled at the
elections near at hand, these being the
tunes when the services OF such strikers
are most needed. The taxpayers money
l. thus expended 10y the pretended servants
OF the people in the effort to perpctuate the
rule OF party which the voters themselves
would otherwise conSien TO destruction.
IL is not too much to say that but for the
electioneering done by intcrnal-revenue
officials, TnDEN would have been elected
by such a majority rs would have forbid
den the idea Of counting him out by fraud,
and HANCOCK would now be President OF
the United States. Nobody can well over
estimate the influence these officials eXer-
else over the voters, especially the negro
voters. No matter for whom the negro in
tends to vote, he will change his mind at the
lastmomenti il only one ofthcse Government
agents comes to him and tells him that
somebody else is the right man. II ten
thousand negroes had pledged themselves
to DHZESDORF on the ith Of November that
they would vote for him, they would
nearly every man OF them have refused to
redeem that pledge IL on the 9th of No
vember a Federal official had come 90
them and told them that the Prcsi-
dent Of the United States wanted them
to vote for LIBBY. Hence, it sur
prises us TO find any good Democrat
advocating the policy of continuing
the Internal-Revenue Departments de-
partment which collects nearly hundred
and fifty millions of dollars from an i'm
povorished people for the use Of a Govern
ment so rich that almost the entire amount
Of those receipts constitute Il surplus in
the Treasury.
