A Registration Law Needed.

The late election has proven one
thing to the satisfaction of all who
believe in. the sanctity of the ballot
box. West Virginia needs a sound,
wholesome, conservative registra-
ton law. No honest man can wit
ness the spectacle of car loads of re
peaters, negroes and foreigners, 30.
hemians, Hungarians and Italians
the Cloths and vandals of modern
Europe shifted and voted from
precinct to precinctin Mercer coun-
ty along the7li of the Norfolk &
Western Railroad, nor observe the
similar Importation of hordes of IL
legal voters from Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania into the border counties OF
this State, without deep indignation,
and the conviction that the protec-
ton afforded by our present laws is
wholly insufficient to preserve our
elections inviolate. 1t is the judg-
ment of the people of large major
ity of the States that a registration
law is-a wise conseryer of the pur-
| ity of the ballot-box. Our present
election laws in West Virginia leave
most ample room for evasions and
violations, and it is an imperative
necessity that other safe guards be
provided if we expect to have fair
l'elections here in the future. The
clause in our Constitution which
virtually prohibits a registration
law was induced by the hideous
memory of the test oath registration
law under which our people suffer
ed several years after the war. OF
course no such thing is now con
temp lated; we have in view only a
plain and useful measure, designed
for the prime purpose of preventing
those villainies which have been
perpetrated within our borders,
during the late election.
The Democrats have majority
III the Legislature, and having been
the victims of these frauds, it is an
obligation they owe their party, as
well as a public duty to propose to
the people Constitutional amend
ment which will admit of the enact
ment of a well-considered registra-
ton law. The Republican legisla-
tors on the other hand, unless aid
ers and abettors in these rascalities,
should be willing and anxious for
fairness in our State elections, and
to that end should support the
measure.
Democrats should remember that
if the Importation of unlawful vo-
ters from other States is allowed to
continue, West Virginia is hopeless

A is the waste water pipe from bath. b
and Z are wa err traps. ID is sill pipe going
through wall and into pipe which extend,
from gutter of roof and takes the rain
water and also acts as ventilator. The
water closet is efficiently trapped and sealed
but the conStructi1 IN of the water pipe from
he bath exposes a most serious defect.
Unless the plug is held I'D for a cousidera-
BILE time to allow large quantity of water
to run through the water closet the solid
matter will, between times of use lodge in
one or other of the traps. The waste pipe
acts to carry off any smells or gases that
may arise from solid matter remaining in
the traps. The pipes and traps are of cast
iron with originally a rough interior. After
use for some time these pipes become coated
With foul ami putrid deposit which gives
off an offensive and noXiOus smell. There
being nothing to break the flow of air
through the bath waste pipe, such
noxious odors and gases escape through
these and thence in the sleeping
apartment. Another serious defect is the
rain water pipe being relied upon to ventil-
ate the soil Iipe. The Judgment of a leaf
over the top of such rain pipe DESTROYS its
usefulness and may cause harm. Another
point to consider is that whilst water trap
may purify any gases passing through it,
the water shortly becomes so impregnated
that it is capable of developing gases in
itself and thus becomes a source of danger.
Should this occur in the case under con
sideration in trap G such gas would go
directly through the bath.
On pointing cut these defects to the
plumber | was met with the answer that it
could not be wrong, because all or most of
the houses in Savannah were constructed
that way" The fact of it being the general
custom to do things that way does not make
1t right and only tends to show the likely
cause for much of the diphtheria aud kin
| dred diseases so prevalent. Whilst the
windows of the bedroom are open at night
| little harm may be done from having the
water closets opening from your room but
| in the fall when the nights are damp it is
customary to keep the windows closed and
| thus shut yourself in close with any dis
ease breeding vapors or gases that may be
present.
If the above is the general principle of
construction in Savannah, and from my
experience ] believe it to be so, then it is
| useless laying an expensive system of drain
| age outside whilst we have defective ar
| rangements in the interior where we live
and sleep. If the inhabitants of this CITY
have any desire for ne 18th and healthy sur
! roundings let them attend at once to this
| question, and iefore the city is ready to
| do the outside drainage let each individual
attend to the arrangements in his house
and have them examined, and if condemned
| let him remedy the defect. Don't let them
| wait until they get diphtheria or kindred
diseases, but start at once to shut out all
| chances of the entrance of such complaints.
| In justice to the plumbers | would say that
| the work l examined, though constructed
on wrong principle, was well executed.

Happenings on the South Carolina
Side of the Savannah.
The Democratic party of Charleston is
about to revise its consti tuition. A com
mittee has been appointed for that purpose.
Mrs. Sallie F. Chaplin, South Carolina s
temperance advocate, has recovered from
her recent severe illness at tine north, and
was expected to arrive in Charleston yester-
day.
The old stockade, which has done duty as
a Jail for Charleston for two years, was
sold at auction n day or two ago. Its re-
moval closes one more chapter of the earth
quake tragedy OF 1886 1t will be remem-
bered on the night of the calamity the Jail
was almost crumbled into ruins. Most of
the prisoners escaped, fleeing terror
stricken fer their lives. The stocEade will,
in few days, pass out of existence, but not
out Of history, for it will be remembered as
the place of incarceration of the great
corpse trust kings and queens. the new
Jail. il is supposed, will be ready for occu-
patton within ten days.
The outlook for tine commencement of the
new postofiice and court house the Neps
and Courier says is promising Secretary
Fairchild has decided to purchase the Rug
heimer lot in Meeting street at $4,000, the
price set upon 1t by the jury, and it is more
than probable that the next step of the
government will be to by the adjoining st.
Michaels church property, which together
with the old club house land. and the
already acquired lots on Broad street. will
give a magnificent site for the new public
building. As to the st. Michaers church
property, it is probable that the govern
ment will soon open negotiations for its
purchase. if it has not already done so, and
1t is equally probable that satisfactory
terms can be made for the transfer Of the
property without resort to the courts.

ming to-day held an inquest upon the body
of Amorous Christoph. ne, the Italian fruit

stating that they wished to defend them
selves from a crowd Of negroes. They
failed to secure a cue, and Hayne went

from fence. With this he returned to the
fruit stand, a crowd following him. When

out: Look out, macaroni, somebody is
