Sope of the methods by which the Demo-
craty&in their great victories In Virginia
are set forth in statement recently sub
mitted to the House committee on elections
by some colored voters of that State. The
Democratic canvassers are given to under
stand before election that Democratic ma
jorty must be returned at all hazards.
Then begins a system Of DISTINGUISHING
negroes. The registrar arbitrarily strikes
from his registration lists the names of hun
dreds of qualified voters, marking them as
dead" or removed from the country"
And on the day of the election, when these
meH offer to vote. their ballots are rejected
and they are either told that they are dead
or that they had removed from the country.
In this manner, on the Saturday before the
last election, 10000 legal voters were shame
fully disfranchised in the State of Virginia
On election day in Virginia, extra special
policemen are sworn in, armed and
m ssed at the various voting places
with instructions to intimidate colored
voters by useless and foolish ar
rests. In precincts where there are
large numbers of colored voters, dilatory
proceedings are kept up throughout the dav.
and useless and unnecessary questions ara
asked, for the purpose of delaying the voting
until the sun sets, when hundreds of voters
are left standing in line with their ballots in
hand. Then, when night comes, the ballots
are to be counted. II the canvass of tho
vote shows Republican majority the "sub.
stitution process" is applied. By this pro-
cess so many Republican ballots are with
drawn, and an equal number of Democratic
ballots are substituted.

The American Forestry Association.
whose headquarters are in Philadelphia, has
for its purpose to preserve the forests of our
national domain. 1t has prepared bill for
the action of this Congress, providing for the
protection of these forests from improvident
sale, from plumber and from fire. The chief
features of the bill are that the sale of forest
lands should be suspended for the present !;
that sufficient military forces should be de-
tailed as forest guards; that commission of
three persons versed in forestry should be
appointed to examine the public lands now
covered with forests, estimated at fifty to
seventy million acres in extent and report
what part Of them should be permanently
reserved from sale. and how they should be
managed for the public interest. The object
which the Association has in view is GER
tainly one which will command general SYM
patty. The means By whish they propose
to accomplish it as set forth in the address
appear to be well chosen and likely to prove
effective,

The prospect Of repeal of the interstate
commerce law at this session Of Congress is
very small. All bills seeking that end have
been reported back by the House committee
on commerce with recommendation that
they be killed. The law may be modified,
but that it will be weakened in any of its
essential features is very improbable. The
West and South are pretty solid for the law,
and against that combination whatever SEN
timent there may be in New England for re-
peal can make little Roadway. Though there
are some features Of the law which bear
hard on New England shipping ports, we are
inclined to think that as whole the law has
proved useful measure. 1t has broken up
some very pernicious practices on the part
of the roads, which they would never have
stopped except under eompulsion. Expert
ence, however, has pointed out several direc-
tions in which the law can be amended with
Improvement and 1t is to be hoped Congress
may recognize them.

Notwithstanding the great howl there is
very little of partisanship in Speaker Reeds
ruling. If it be made the rule of procedure
in the House hereafter, as it ought to be, in
the long run it will work just as much ad-
vantage and just as much disadvantage to
the one party as to the other. Its great
merit is that it will work advan age all the
time to the people at large who pay the bills,
and therefore have the right to demand that
their legislators shall attend to business.
