from being made up Of Officers having the
power to increase their own salaries by
law.
We are told now that Messrs. Rue and
MARTIN have not resigned their seats In the
Senate. Anything which we have said
based upon the assumption that they had
done so goes for nothing, OF course. That
fact renders the Governors duty In the
premises a little less plain, perhaps.
How little, we leave Ii for him to say,
in view OF the fact that he knows that
both Messrs. RUE and MARTIN have for
ieited their seats in the General Assembly
II the decision OF the Supreme Court Of
Appeals IN the case Of Bunting Us. Wills
be applicable to the case before Us.
Governor CAMERoN's plea that inasmuch
as the Senate Is the sole Judge OF the cleo
ton, qualifications. and returns OF its own
members, he does not feel free TO take ac-
ton in the premises, is entitled TO due con-
sheraton. We trust that il his sense OF
duty shall induce him TO adhere to IL, he
will take the same ground when asked to
issue writ providing for an election next
November in the Seventh congressional
district. Colonel O'FERRALL and Judge
PAUL both claim that they were in 1882
elected to the House OF Representatives IN
that district. The House OF Representa-
tives. like the Virginia Senate, is the sole
Judge OF the election Of its members.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-08-28
Ruo and Martin.

The point is made in behalf OF Governor
CAMERON that the Legislature cannot add
TO the qualifications prescribed in the Con-
stitution for members OF the General AS
sembly. on general principles we should
deem this a good point. But there is an
other rule Of constitutional construction
which also applies. 1t is that though Con-
gress must show in the Federal Constitu-
ton an actual grant for any power which
II wishes TO exercise, yet State Legisla-
ture may do any act of legislation which is
not forbidden by the State Constitution. A
State Legislature may, therefore, and often
does, supplement the provisions Of the State
Constitution on any given subject.
Here Is case in point. The State Con-
stitution Of Virginia, Article 8, section D,
reads As follows:
"All persons entitled to vote and hold
office. and none others, shall be eligible to
sit as Jurors
Notwithstanding the presence in the
Constitution Of the above provision, the
General Assembly has exempted large
number Of voters from liability to perform
jury duty. Is that law constitutional
The Constitution makes all lawyers, fol-
example. "eligible TO sit as jurors" But
the Legislature has declared that they shall
not be eligible 10 sit as jurors" School.
teachers and various other persons can
plead the same privilege.
Again: The Constitution prescribes the
qualifications OF voters. Yet the Legisla.
ture ADDS to those qualifications when il
provides by law. as it has done, that q
man duly and thoroughly qualified under
the Constitution shall nevertheless moi vote
unless be shall have registered his namc
as q voter. That law adds to the qualiG-
cations OF voters, just rs the other law
adds to the qualifications OF members Of
The Legislature. More: The State Const,.
iuticn in express terms provides for the re-
gistfaiion OF births, marriages, and deaths,
but says not word ms to the registration
OF voters. II the Constitution does not
include all kinds of registration the I.epis.
iature, 1t would seem, may provide for the
omitted kinds. Why not provide for
emitted qualifications for holding a seat in
the General Assembly?
A point made In behalf OF the Govern
or's position us to Mr.. MARTINS ease Is not
good enough to call for argument namely,
that the obiectof forbidd,ng salaried officer
from being elected TO the General Assem-.
bly, was to prevent the use Of his salary to
secure nm election. The object was, on the,
contrary, TO keep the General Assembly

Two Districts.

We published last week the bill presented
by the CoalitiOnists TO the last Legislature
having for its object the redistricting OF
the STATE" OF Virginia for the election OF
congressman. This bill was passed by the
House of Delegates, but was defeated in
the Senate by the assistance OF the "Big
Four" We give below tables showing the
vote for CAMERON, the vote for DANIEL.
and the total population in those two dis
tricts. II will be seen that the First dis
trict was to contain 22.S64 fewer persons
than the Third district; that in order to
overcome the large Democratic majority
OF LOO in Richmond city the negro coun-
ties of Powhatan. Amelia, and Nottoway
were all added to this district, though il
the first two OF those three counties
had been omitted, the Third district would
still have had larger population than the
First district. 1t will be seen. too, that each
OF these two districts was so arranged rs to
contain counties and cities which taken to-
getner had given CAMERON good maiorl-
ty--G12 in the one case, and 97j III the
other-and which, therefore, it was pre-
sumed and assumed, would give Coalition
or Republican maiorities at the election
which was to come off in the fall OF 1882

No WRIT OF ELECTION necessary
There are seven ways by which apositlen as
member OF the General Assembly may De-
come vacant-namely Death, resignation,
expiration OF term OF office, change OF resi-
dence to another district, conviction OF
felony, acceptance OF Federal office OF
profit or trust, or acceptance OF STARRED
Office under the State government. but In
ONLY two OF these cases does the law re-
cure writ OF election to be issued. These
are in the cases OF death or resignation
(see Code, page 1873, section 1S), hence IN
The other cases il is not necessary that Il
writ be issued in order to hold an election.
We say it is not necessary because there Is
no law requiring it. a writ is never Is
sued to fill a vacancy caused by reason OF
the expiration OF term, neither Is 1t Deces-
sary when the vacancy occurs in either OF
the last four ways. All that the people OF
the Thirty-first and Thirty-third districts
will have to do is TO elect senators under
the general law. as II the offices OF Messrs.
Rue and Martin were vacant by reason OF
the expiration OF their terms OF office. and
the Senate will decide a. to the legality OF
their election Portsmouth Enterprise.
The votes can be received and recorded
near the regular voting-place by good men
selected for the purpose. 1t would not be
well to try to compel the regular election
officers to receive them or record them.
The Senate is the sole judge OF the
elections Of its members. Recall the I'M
seating Of the Democratic delegates from
Rockbridge by the last House of Delegates,
and the seating OF the MALONE delegates.
There will be no occasion for any trouble
on the subject.

In spite OF "southern hatred of the nan
and the brother" it is left for the northern
and northern centres of civilization TO
develop sacrilegious ceremonies in his
churches. No negro church in slave
driving community" was ever desecrated
by such a scene as took place in Il negro
church in Washington recently, and which
is being extensively commented upon by
the "funny men" of some Of the northern
newspapers.

THANKS. We return our acknowledge
ments for the courtesy OF the Richmond
Dispatch in informing us Of the amend
ment to section OF article > OF the COnsti-
tuition. We had lost sight Of it. and were
looking at the Constitution in the Code OF
lS73.-Po Portsmouth Enterprise.
We guessed as much. We Judge that
more than half the people who have occa-
sion to consult the Constitution look into
the Code for it, simply because they have
not at hand a copy of the Constitution as
amended.
1t has not been long since we had to call
upon the Enterprise for certain informa'
ton we needed relative to the schools in
Portsmouth.

The Springfield Republican classes BURN
HAM WARDwELL as 4 Virginian. Against
this we do most sOlcmnly protest. We
have stood good deal since the war, but
we must draw the line somewhere, and we
draw it on BURNHAM. In the glorious re-
construction days BURNHAM had charge Of
our penitentiary, in which there were a
number OF Virginia convicts. But we
want it understood that Virginia does not
raise such men as BURNUAM.

Is 1T Sof-lIENRY KEMP writes to Brad
streets that it will be seen in the tables OF
prices which he gives that gold has in the
year 1888 exactly the same value in relation
TO commodities as it had in the year 1862
This, II true, is valuable and encour-
aging information. The general belief is,
we suppose, that gold has appreciated in
value relatively to the staple articles Of the
worlds commerce.
