Moral Of Morrison's Defeat.

We have no doubt that many OF the ar.
dent supporters Of the Morrison bill will
experience FESTIVE, dissatisfied feeling
over the "untimely taking of" of then
favorte. But when the clouds OF excite.
ment and the gloom of defeat have been
dispelled, and these gentlemen make. q
calm impartial study of their measure they
will conclude that their Judgment was in
error and that they would not have had
what they wanted IL the bill had been en-
acted.
Plucky Phil Snyder stood to his record
and Is now enjoying the fruits OF WELL
earned victory. When West Virginia's in
terests are in the balance it is a good thing
to have representative in Congress who
knows how to tip the scales.
So long as the public views Tuesdays
vote on the Morrison bill as q real test OF
its strength, Representatives Gibson and
Wilson might have better reflected the
views Of West Virginia Democrats, as ex-
pressed through their recent State Con-
yention. by voting with the majority

PETERSBURG, May 0, 1884.
The decision OF the Supreme Court de-
claring the Electoral-Board law unconsti-
tutional and void has caused much feeling
and grea. deal OF comment here. Under
the appointees OF the Electoral Board OF
Petersburg registration has been going on
here for four days, and up to and includ-
ing to-day aboHt 1,600 whites and 2,l00
blacks have registered.
Judge Mann, OF the Hastings Court, TO-
day. under the decision OF the Court OF
Appeals, issued an order appointing regis
trars, who shall enter upon their duties ut
sunrise tomorrow morning, and continue
the registration where 1t was left OF to-
night by the appointees OF the Electoral
Board. He appoints three OF the Demo.
Gratis who have been acting thus far, and
dspIaces the other three by the restoration
OF old officers who were removed by the
Electoral Board. BY this order Judge
Mann recognized as legal the registration
as far as It has progressed us having been
done under de fdcto officers, and by thus
doing avoids some serious complications
which 1t was feared would arise.
Samuel L.. Harley. the Nottoway biga-
mist. was to-day sentenced to three years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary. Pre-
yious to his sentence he made statement
to the court. He has thus gained three
years by securing new trial, his previous
sentence being six years. No motion was
made this time for another trial.
The registration here has developed the
fact Of strong colonization in several OF the
wards by the Malone Republicans, in
some instances from three to five or more
new names being registered from one
house. 1t shows the desperate efforts that
party is making to retain control OF the
Council, which they are in danger OF
losing.
At a meeting OF the farmers OF Prince
George county held yesterday 1t was de-
cided to invite the peanut-growers OF
Prince George, Southampton. Surry, and
Isle OF Wight counties to a meeting to be
held at Wakefield at an early day to con-
slider the question OF the moneyed combina-
ton which is seeking TO break down the
peanut market, and to take such steps as
may be necessary in the premises. This
matter is becoming very serious one to
the peanut. growers. ROBIN ADAIR.

"Tote fair, brethren. tote fair" you
shall not be read out Of the party on ac-
count OF your views on the tariff, but you
will not be permitted to 20 into the "read-
ing out - business yourselves. ChorlotfeS-
rilie Chronicle (1drif Retormer).
That's our teaching. We would pro-
scribe no Democrat on account Of his tariff
views. But we have to resist every day
the temptation to say hard things about the
extremists who assume that none are sound
Democrats except those who agree In opin-
with them. We console ourselves with the
reflection that our friend BEIRNE is in the
same predieament. One Of our Virginia
exchanges charges in effect that the forty
one Democrats who voted against the NOR
RIsoN bill were unfaithful to their party
obligations.

this grand Commonwealth out Of the mire
and filth into which she had been dragged
by the corrupt practices of the Malone
party, and placed her once more in an at
titude commanding the respect and conf
dence OF all good and patriotic people.

The Bourbon Democrats OF Virginia are having
a hard time In their efforts to disfranchi>e the
colored voters. Their first plan required every
voter 20 show tax receipt before deposinDg his
ballot The Readjustels repealed that statute.
The last Legislature passed an act requiring men-
of naming Judges of elections, to be rreeholders.
The object was 10 disfranchise the coloIe voters
who could not have secured enough representa-
tives on the appointment boards TO protect their
interests. But the Supreme Court or Appeals OF
that State has declared this last act unconstitu-
ton i, which has the effect Of placing me eiee
tien machinery Of the State again IN the hands oil
the Readjusters and Republicans. Thit is hitting
rebuke 70 the Bourbons. They will now have 70
f,il back on the old shotgun methods.-Neto York
Tribune.
A shameful perversion OF the truth. 1t
was only by carelessness that the word
"freehoIders was introduced into the
law. That word was used in an old law
which was followed in drafting the new
one. One branch Of the Legislature passed
q bill to amend the act as soon as the fact
was discovered. Not single member OF
the Legislature intended to disfranchise
the negroes. The law was intended TO take
the appointment Of election officers out Of
the hands Of the MALONE judges and give
It in each county and city to three good
men and true not In judicial positions and
not Mahoneites. will the Tribune let It's
readers know the TRUTH
