THE AUSTRALIANS BALLOT IN NiH-
GINA.

When the members of our General As
eembly come 10 consider. as they viii uo
doubt eventually do. the numerousp prop
ositious that VIII be advanced looking to
a very important change in our present
election law. they should constantly
bear in mind. so far as the Australian
ballot system Is concerned, that the con
ditions which have made that system
eminently successful IN the leadin-
: ates of the North do not prevail at The
S)uth. At the North, the whole oh
isct which the law seeks to accomplish.
and which all the testimony which we
have seen, says it does accomplish, Is L.
pto,ect from dictation and espionage.
that vast body of voters who are absO.
lutely dependent upon the innumera-
Bile manufacturers OF that part Of the
Union. for the very bread that sustains
their existence.
We have no such evil as this to con
tend~Nith in our Southern commuui-
ties. The clement which constitutes
the overwhelming proportion OF our
laboriug class, 50 far from Icing under
ths influence. aud subj CT to the con-
srol Of their employers, has, on the
contrary. systematically aud continu-
oasly voted against the very interest to
which it is most directly indebted for a
livelihood. Il is not the purpose of
a new election law in this Stale
10 give freer scope 10 the exercise
Of the right OF suffrage simrly because.
so far as all classes are involved, the
lowest as well as the highest, the poor
est as well as the richest. the frcest
scope possible is already enjoyed. lis
obiect will be to save Virginia from

the proioundest apprehension lest every
socislond political interest Of herpeople
may be destroyed by The triumph of

unchanged form. will not accomplish
this, because, however secretly the ne
