A Question Answered.
he Editor of the Dispotch :

To the Editor Of the Disp0tch
Does foreigner coming to this coun-
try under eighteen years Of age become
legal voter on attaining his twenty
first year? Does not the law prescribe
in his case residence of five years and
naturalization papers before registra-
ton? IL.
The law of Virginia provides that all
resident aliens naturalized under the
laws of the United States shall be
deemed citizens Of this State. The
Constitution Of Virginia provides that
"every male citizen Of the United
States" twenty-one years old who has
resided in the State twelve months and
in the county, city, or town where he
offers TO vote three months next pre-
ceding the election shall be entitled to
vote. But one question remains
namely, Is the foreigner above de-
scribed a citizen Of the United States ?
The United States statute provides that
the children of naturalized persons, if
minors when their parents were natu-
rallied, shall be considered as citizens
OF the United States.
Therefore, the answer to "L.'s"
question is that if the father Of the
foreigner spoken of was naturalized
whilst the son was minor, the minor
thereby became citizen Of the United
States and is entitled to register and
vote. But if the foreigner in question
came to this country and left his father
in Europe, he must have both resided
here five years and taken out his natu-
ralization papers before he can vote.
There is law of the United States
which provides that "no alien shall be
admitted to become a citizen who has
not for the continued term Of five years
next preceding his admission resided
within the United States" But we are
inclined to think that this law was in
tended merely to do what is done by
the word continued that is, to re-
quire persons who have to reside here
five years before becoming naturalized
to reside here five " continuous years.

Another Criminal,

Do not imagine that the Dispatch is
the only paper that the Mahoneites
might charge with waving the bloody
shirt. 1t would seem from the follow
ing paragraph that the State is as great

and his lieutenants have waved the
bloody shirt in Ohio.

scented southerners as blood-thirsty des-

The Cat Ont of the Bag.

The Republicans Of Washington
county met at Abingdon this week and
unanimously
ResOlped, That in choosing between
the Democratic nominees for the Sen.
ate and House of Delegates aud the in
dependent candidates, Gray and White,
We regard it the duty Of our Republi-
can friends to vote unanimously for DR..
William White and Robert II. GRAY.
and, Of course, for our State ticket
Wise, Wood, and Blair.
OF course. And of course the Dem
ocrats will now rally to the support oil
the regular Democratic nominees. The
weakness Of MALONE in Washington
county is fully confessed in the fact
that his party supports candidates for
the Legislature who dare not avow
themselves to be Mahoneites.

The St. Louis Glob.-Democrat having

The st. Louis Globe Democrat having
declared that "the bloody shirt is a
grand old garment" southern con-
temporary responds:
$50 it is. 1t keeps the South solid,
the North divided, and brings about q
wonderful era Of good feeling between
sections that were at war with each
other a quarter of century ago."
And to this the Boston Herald adds
1t does more than this--it wipes out
the 5000 Republican majority in Gin.
cinnati, and induces independent voters
to support the Democratic candidates,
as q protest against this revival Of sec.
tionalism, wherever that party has
nominated fit men. The "grand old
garment will prove the winding sheet
of the Republican party if it is not put
out Of sight.
Mr.. FORAKER seems to have awak.
ened to an appreciation Of the last
mentioned fact since he came to Vir.

The South and Virginia.

As the Sd Of November draws near
our southern contemporaries grow more
emphatic in their recognition Of the
fact that the cause of Virginia is the
cause of the South. The Raleigh On.
Co. News and Observer, which has
shown a notable interest in the Virginia
canvass, has this to say:
"This week the Blaine and Sherman
bloody-shirt platoon will enter Virginia
and will proceed to faunt the ensan-
guined garment in the faces of the true
and loyal sons Of the Old Dominion.
The insult will arouse the Indignation
of cur Democratic brethren to such an
extent, We trust, that they will turn
out to a man next Tuesday, and, by
way of resentment, bury Malone and
his man Wise under such a majority
against their pretensions that, as the
saying goes. the hand of political resur-
rection will never be able to reach
them"
Our Raleigh contemporary then re-
marks that the enthusiasm for LEE
would seem to indicate that the victory
is already won, but warns our people
against the dangers Of over-confdence,
and adds:
at will not do to rely upon this
assurance, however. The descent of
the Republican wolves upon the fold
means the most active interest of the
Republican party generally in the result
in the State, and the application Of every
energy TO turn the strong tide which has
set in for Lee. Not men alone, but
money will be sent into the State,
and the most INSCRIPTIONS measures
for the corruption of the people
may be expected. The Democrats of
Virginia must therefore maintain their
activity to repel the new attack, and if
they remain faithful to the end they will
in all probability triumph gloriously.
We have spoken thus earnestly be-
cause we are scarcely less interested in
the campaign than the yirginians them
selves. The blight which Malone has
fastened upon the mother Of States
has effected, to certain extent, the
whole South. We have all felt the
humiliation Of the triumph even for a
time Of such methods as the petty boss
represents, and the southern people gene
rally will rejoice when the political re-
dempion Of the State he has dishon-
ored shall become an accomplished fact.
The cause Of Virginia is the cause Of
the South. II is the cause of all that
is most valuable in southern society
against the baneful elements which
every principle Of sound politics de-
mands shall be destroyed. 1t is the
cause Of morality. We therefore urge
our brethren across the line not only to
stand firm, but to continue their most
active exertions until the very end of
the contest. They have victory with
in their grasp. Let them pot be in
ducsd to let il CO."

Another Lee Nan.

ONANCocK, VA, Oct. q, 1885.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Sir,-In reply to many Republicans
in the State as to my status in the pre-
sent campaign, l will say, from the be-
ginning Of the canvass | have approved
and openly advocated the election Of
General Lee, and that / deem it the
duty Of all good citizens, whether Re-
publicans or Democrats, - do likewise.
This is the most important State cleo
ton that has been submitted o the
people of Virginia for the last thirty
years. The most important element in
this contest is that Of caste and moral
ity as compared to the Generalization
Of General Malone and his attempt to
humiliate and degrade the citizens Of
the Commonwealth. From the moment
he entered the Senate of the United
States to this hour he has been nothing
but = political gambler, and should
Captain Wise be elected Governor and
General Malone returned to the Senate
4 blow will be struck the honor as
we'll as the interest and prosperity Of
the State from which it will require
many years to recover. There are
times and circumstances that justify
partisAns in rising above party ties and
placing themselves on the side Of honor
and justice, and such is the case in
Virginia to-day. Yours, respectfully,
W. e.. RILEY.

Judge FORAKER did not wave the
bloody shirt in New York last week.
Oh, no. All he said was that he want
ed fair elections everywhere. But in
what language did he make that de-
mand. Read:
1T is not wrong to demand a fair
count in the South, and we will have it
if at the point of the bayonet."
You see that he uses no such word
as " everywhere" He said. at is not
wrong to demand fair count IN THE
SOUTH" Wherever he goes, let
FORAKER be met by this threat.

In the New York Tribune Of the 22d
instant Judge Tourgee is reported as
saying in his speech at jamestown, n.
Y, on the day before that" in all but
two southern States the law is that
ballots shall be destroyed before the
vote is counted" Is not this some
thing new under the suns We are
familiar with the Virgins election
laws. and, therefore, know that the re-
mark does not apply to her. We can
not see how it can apply to any State,
as the counting Of the ballots is the
counting Of the votes. Perhaps we
misapprehend the Judges meaning.

We suppose he is not correctly re-
ported. Perhaps he said the law re-
quires the ballots to be destroyed as
soon as counted.

Another Question Answered.
LEXINGTON, VA, Oct. 81, 1885

LEXINGTON, VA, Oct. p, 1885.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Let me state case and ask ques-
ton: A man came here to work; after
living here awhile--say two months
he brought his family to live with him /;
his family remained with him about
five months and these were recently
sent to another county to live, the hus-
band and father continuing to live here.
That is the statement of the case. Now
for the question: Where is that man
entitled to vote-here or where his
family lives? Yours truly, f.
lie can vote, if at all, only where his
domicile is. He certainly cannot vote
anywhere else than in Lexington. Can
he vote in Lexington? He can, if he
intends to make that place his home
hereafter-that is, if his domicile is
really there. But if this is the case,
either he has deserted his wife or she
has deserted him.

Virginia has, in recent years, been
the scene of magnificent industrial de-
velopment. Large amounts of northern
capital have been invested in mines and
mills. Millions have been added to the

Exactly. And the Republican, which

Another Note from Mr.. Taylor.

FLUvANNA, October 20, 1883.
To the Editor of the Dispatch
In reply to Mr.. Walter G. Jones's
last communication, would not notice
it only to say that meant nothing per-
sonal, and to show how badly Mr..
Jones is posted in political matters in
his county.
Mr.. Jones says it is bit of news to
the people Of Fluyanna that am for
Lee and Daniel. | have been Lee
man since 1862 and Daniel man since
1877. The Democrats Of Fluyanna
elected me delegate to the convention
Of 1877, and instructed their delegates
for General Malone for Governor. |
and Mr.. James o. Shepherd, now chair
man Of the county Democratic party,
refused to be instructed for Malone. |
being a Daniel man, they called an-
other meeting and elected a Malone
delegate over me, because | was a
Daniel man, when Mr.. Jones was a
Malone man. This may be bit Of
news to Mr.. Jones, but not to the in
telligent people Of Fluyanna.
Now, as Mr.. Jones is with me for
Lee, see no use in any further COM
munication between us, as the truth is
good for the soul. We both endorsed
the Malone Legislature in l877-'7S,
and since that time the less we have to
say about our political record the bet
ter we will appear before the public.
