/ plicatiOn for the privilege OF examining
/ the observation-disclosures Of this precinct, and
was refused. Last Tuesday MeSsrs. Il.
Bland and c. III. Hart applied to the regis
tTar for the privilege OF examining the
books. and were refused. DR.. Whiting,
I with three witnesses, then went and made
formal demand that they be allowed TO
I inspect the books, and they were also re-
fused. The Code OF Virginia says the
books shall at all times be open to
inspection" Why, in the face OF this
explicit law, does this MahOneite regis
trar refuse the people OF West Point
a privilege they are clearly entitled
to? If he has done his duty I'M
der the law i'm registering the voters OF
this place he has no reason 10 fear an IN
spcction Of his work. But there is good
reason TO doubt his faithful discharge of
duty when he deliberately deiies the law
and denies the people the right to inspect
his work. Dr.. Whiting told hlm that he
believed he meant fraud 10y refusing tins
right: and if he does not mean fraud ii Is
nevertheless a great outrage TO deny q
people Il right guaranteed them by lava
privilege which is their main defence
against election frauds. The grand jury
viii have business with Mr.. II. +. Will
liams when it next assemblies. The good
people OF West Point will not tamely sub
init to this young partiSan's impudent con-
duct.

the Democratic colors next Tuesday.

on.
The Abingdon Standard says that Lee,
Wise, Scott. Washington and Bland, Pu-
laSl,i, Smyth, Giles, Grayson, Carroll,
Montgomery and Craig, are sure to give

is a good show for carrying Wythe and
Russell.
