1rnGF IrWIs's OPINION.

Saws the President in a dissenting
opinion of great power, referring 10 cer-
tain old cases in Virginia cited ny the.
majority which seem to limit the rights Of
the public in highways to "a mere right OF
passage':
+benucirnt authorities on the subject, DO m
deed SO hold. and when they were decided
the language used was sufficiently compre-
Ionsiyc to cover every then known mode
oil enjoying the public right. But since
that time civilization has advanced; now
modes OF using the public. highways have
been discovered. and as the common law
alapts itself 20 the constantly changing
wants and conditions Of society, the coul Is
have held and rightly | think. that ne
view contcndcd for 10y the plaintiff Is alto
eether too narrow and restricted: 50 that
Tie principle as now esta 9lished IS that TN,
hiohwavs of 2 Stase are not only open ana
Tree for travel aud traffic, but that, WIN
the assent of the Legislature, they may be
devoted under the original appropria, ION
70 such other public uses a are consistent
with their use a. public thOr0ushtares.

The contemplated attempt ofthe National
Republican Committee TO debauch W,
Virginia and other States is, very properly,
regarded by good people generally. Sena-
tor Faulkner says 'the disclosures are start
ling in their character to all who appreciate
the value Of pure fair and incorruptible
ballot-the resort Of desperate lricksters and
men who feel that the public sentiment of
the country. realizing the dangers that
threaten our institutions, is rapidly drifting
TO the Democratic party. To meet the pub
lie sentiment. % smother and suppress the
voice Of the people, they have resorted, It
appears to this disgaceful attempt I" con-
troll the voice Of the people OF three sover-
eign States by the Importation Of negroes
from the States If the South, not with view
of benefttiug their condition, bat to over
balance the white people Of those three
States
Senator Faulkner says aud 1t should be
emphasized by all good people;
''The citizens of West Virginia, regardless
of party. should feel under great obligations
for the exposure OF this infamous schelie.
The Republican party committed crime
against our people In Its attempt 10 ueoaucn
the ballot aud 10 corrupt the suffrage by the
stream Of gold which they poured INTO the
State in 1883, but we were IN hopes that an
aroused public sentiment, not only IN our
own state. but throughout the Union, would
make this the last attempt by agents from
other States TO influence, control and doml-
nate the politics of our own people, but tins
effort is not i'm It's character or IN ITS effects
temporary. Itmeans to iuiiict for all future
time upon the people of our State the evils
of an ignorant, debased and easily corrupted
suffrage. with view of controlling our pol
titles 6v sitting the free expression OF the
sentiments of a majority of its white people
Self interest, State pride and the pureSt pa
triotism demand that the party whose rep
resentative agents have conceived so base
scheme topollute the purity of the franchise
shall receive such % rebuke from our people
ON November 4 as will teach even the deS-
perate trick,ters and unscIupulous par isans
that the white people of West Virginia will
not submit tamely to the domination OF
North Carolina negroes in their State, coun-
~ and municipal affairs
The Democrat who absents himself from
the voting place on November 4th should
have an excuse only of sickness unto death.
We exhort every Democratic voter to exert
whatever influence he has to secure full
vote-aud a vote for the entire ticket. No
time now for the payment Of old political
or personal scores. Letpredudices and per-
sonal piques be bygones. Every man Is ex-
pec.ed to do his duty-by work and by vote
our people should condemn every attempt
such as the colonization scheme purposes,
"to paralyze their energies, adultrate the
purity of their suffrage and prevent the NOR
al, social and political growth and develop
meut of their State"
