SOME POWERFUL PERCUssIyE
FROM JUDGE BRANN0S.

We desire to call the special attention
of our readers, this morning, to the very
lucid, comprehensive and convincing
ifit is not also q conclusive and unan-
swerable-opinion from Judge HENRY
BRANNoN, on the amendment middle,
which will be found on the third page
Of the REGISTER.
To our mind this is the most eonclu-
sive presentation of the case that has
yet been made. We do not say this be-
cause il happens to cover and support
all the points heretofore insisted upon
by the REGISTER, but because it also
leaves no point made by the opponents
of this position unanswered.
We think Judge BRANNoN has pro-
duced authority from the Supreme
Court Of West Virginia itself, that in
dicates, il IL does not fix with certain
ty, that the provision Of the Constitu-
ton in question, would be held by that
court to be selEoperatiye, if the ques-
ton shall, as it probably will, come be-
fore that court for Its decision.
The opinion of Judge RAYMOND is
quoted from the case of List VS.. City of
Wheeling, It'll w. Ea.-the case relied
upon by Mr.. LAMB-as follows: "All
acts of the Legislature in force at the
time the Constitution took effect, which
are plainly in conflict with it, or any OF
its parts, are modified or repealed to the
extent Of such conflict. All acts author
lied to be done by laws in force prior to
and at the time of the adoption of the
Constitution, which are clearly forbid
den to be done by the Constitution,
must be considered as prohibited"
"a constitution scarcely ever repeats a
former statute by express reference
thereto-it is generally done, when ill.,
tended, by the use Of general terms on
the subject had in view"
Also the opinion delivered by Judge
JOHNSON in Railroad Company VS..
MILLER, Auditor, 10Th West Virginia
when the text of a constitutional pro
vision is plain and unambiguous, courts,
in giving construction thereto, are moi
at liberty to search for its meaning be,
yond the instrument itself"
These questions seem to settle very
conclusiyely where the West Virginia
Court Of Appeals would be found on the
question as to how much Of the exist.
ing election machinery would be re,
[ pealed by the adoption of the amend
ment. If they decide anything it Is
that only the date would be altered oil
disturbed.
Judge BRANNON has a reputation
throughout the State as a clear-headed,
incisive jurlst, and this paper is charac,
teristic. 1t is presented in q way that
makes it readable and clear to both law
yers and laymen.

SENATOR DONEHOO's DATES.
To the Editor Of the Re0Hter.

FAIRvIEw, HANCOCK Co., March s, 'S3.
There is another view of the election
amendment quite aside from the legal
view, which seems to me TO settle, beyond
dispute, the question whether a State cleo.
ton is to be held in November, 81. 1t is
this:
The act submitting the amendment pro.
yides that, "On the 18th day after said cleo.
ton lin 0ctober) is held, or as Don there.
after as practicable, the said certificates
shall be laid before the Governor, whose
duty ii shall be TO ascertain therefrom the
result of said election in tie State" etc.
Now, the second Tuesday OF October. 1884,
occurs on the l4th of that month: the
Tuesday following the first Monday Of No
vember following occurs on the 4th of the
month. From the 18th Of October 10 the
ith of November is p days; so that the
earliest day possible for the legal ascer.
tsinment Of the adoption of the amend,
ment is four days after the Norerlber election
is actually held! By what sort Of time,
reversing m~sgic-by what species OF pro-
phetie back-action is the law made to com.
msnd that al election shall be ED four
days before its command can issue?
J. r. D.
We have heretofore referred to the
difficulty in the dates suggested by SEN
ator DONEHOO, but we don't make it
quite 70 bad as he.
The second Tuesday in October, 1884,
will be the Sth day Of the month. There
will remain % days Of October after the
lection. The Tuesday after the first
Monday Of November will be the 5th
day Of the month.
Thus there will be IS days between
the October election and the November
election if both are held. 1t makes it
possible for the Governor to give three
days notice of the second election.
That is very close shaving, but it's not
the only close shave in the matter.

AS the law allows the exportion Of
whisky without the payment Of taxes
and its reimportation upon the payment
of the internal tax upon the amount
the packages actually contain, the claim
Is made that the distillers can save
enough by the reduced taxation on the
leakage and shrinkage to pay the
charges Of transportation and storage
abroad. The plan suggested involves
the building of immense storehouses at
Honduras and the shipping Of the
whisky by boats aud bsrges down the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Or
lans, from whence it is to be reshipped
to the designated point.

THIS is the verdict of the New York
Herald, on the late deceased Congress:
The only important measures of the
first session were the Tariff Commission
and the Anti POlygamy law, and both
have already fallen into contempt as
failures. The present session has been
slightly less e~xtravagant than the last,
but it has been almOst equally useless to
the country. Aside from the Civil Ser
vice law, which owes its being to a
Democrat, and the Two-Cent Postage
law, which is at least Of doubtful eX-
pediency, il has done no good thing. 1t

A VERY MARROW NARRow-sAUGK.

The Preston county Journal calls at
tention In its last issue to the building
Of twO-feet gauge railroads In Maine,
and suggests the propriety Of an inyes-
tigstion into their merits With q view
ofsdopting such 8 gauge for the pro-
jected road from Kingwood to Tunnel
ton.
We have had some interest and curl
osity in this direction. Our attention
was attracted some time ago to q de-
scription Of q two-feet gauge railroad
that was being operated in one of the
-ew England States, the name and
'lity having escaped our memory,

building the road it was n>ueuied oy
the knowing ones, but the places re-
suits were so satisfactory that everye~Ns
was in 9 glee at witnessing its wonder
ful achievements.
We had expected to hear Of q boom
In s-teet gauge railroads before this,
but the reference made by the Journal
"a the only q we have seen since the
first. But we agree with the JoaTHGtin
believing that an investigation into the
merits Of these roads will pay, and
might suggest many short lines through
