SOME people in the North felicitate
themselves and the country at large
upon the fact that no opposition was
made in the North to the honors paid
by the South to the remains of her dead
President at the capital of his nation
last Wednesday. Why so, few can tell,
as the Constitution, neither in 1861
nor now, denies the right of secession
and as the text books used at West
Point. at the breaking out of the war,
taught the lesson that citizens first
duty is to his State. If President Da-
Wis had broken any law of the United
States he would certainly have been
tried for it, and been convicted.

THE GoULD-wOODRUFF ENGAGE.
MENT.

Whether Miss Gould is engaged to Ac-
tor Woodruff, or Actor Woodruff is en-
gagged to Miss Gould, is one of those
questions which would naturally be deep
ly interesting to the engaged party. and.
probably, more interesting to Actor Wood
ruff than to Miss Could however the
case may stand. Surprising Miss Gould
to be the engaged party. it is easy 10
conceive the joy she experiences in real
ling the fact that she has outstripped
other maidens and has hooked and Sc
cured the young gentleman whose blonde
curls and peach-blow checks have made
many sigh and long for him to be theirs.
Surprising Actor Woodruff to be the en-
gagged party, there is no difficulty what
ever in understanding his ioy-a joy OF
the French character which overhows
with passionate love and keen scrutiny
of the dot The interest which these TWO
parties take in the event is therefore
easily perceived and understood. But OF
what possible concern can II be to the
public whether Actor Woodruff has en-
trapped Miss Goulds fortune or Miss
Gould has caught Actor Woodruff's ava
rice! In either event. Miss Gould has been
the heroine OF the chase and it was like
shooting sparrows on the ground for her
to meet and overthrow poor Woodruff. The
parties were not equally matched, and
Woodruffs fall was destined from the
beginning Tame, thus, as the battle ne
cessarily was, why are the public SUD-
posed to be so interested in IL as to JUS

WHO Is To BLAME?

| The Dispatch OF Sunday quotes approx
| ingly in its editorial on election laws a
statement by its Petersburg correspond
| ent 10 the effect that "a charge of fraud
in our elections is a reflection upon all
who, by force Of circumstances. act at the
| polls; it is a reflection upon the State
chairman, the district and precinct chair
men," &c. &c. Now. there has no charge
been made, nor, II made could il be sus-
tsined, that fraud in the election returns
| has been practiced throughout Virginia.
| Indeed, we believe that fraudulent re-
turns are entirely the exception. AS far
as our own experience goes, the election
returns at the precincts where we have
voted for twenty-odd years have been as
fair as possible
So it won't do to try to drag in the inno-
cent with the guilty in order to bring re-
proach upon a just charge.
While fraud is the exception, there is
enough Of it, and it is sufficiently brazen
and defiant to alarm those who believe
that the foundation Of popular govern
ment rests upon the popular will fairly
ascertained
If fraud is allowed at all in any place
there is no telling where it WI stop; an.
If it proves profitable to the fraudulent
actors it is certain thGt it will SPREAD in
definitely, and the time may come when
no voter will have any assurance that his
vote has been returned as he put it in.
The effort TO protect the guilty behind
the skirts of our State chairman, J. Tay-
Tor Ellyson, is indeed gross reflection
upon that gentleman. This reference to
our distinguished State chairman gives us
a desired opportunity to express our adj
miration Of the ability with which he
conducted the late campaign. His man.
agement was marked throughout by wis
dom and energy. Calm, judicious, patient,
discreet, untring, he so organized the
party throughout the State, and so Sc
cured the support of his party friends.
that never did he doubt Of success.
The only fleck or stigma upon an other
wise glorious victory is this very belief
that fraud has been reckessly and I'M
provokedly committed in certain places.
and it but adds to the ignominy Of it to
attempt 10 cast a reflection upon those
who did not and would not have in any
way been parties to it.

Editor Times: In your editorial of 26th

II Is so that all the judges and clerks Of
election were city officials? With a few
exceptions they were.
/ do not remember who were judges in

In the Fourth Ward a justice OF the
peace was a judge.
In the Fifth Ward the superintendent
Of water-works and a deputy sergeant
were judges.
In the Sixth Ward the superintendent
Of the almshouse was judge.
Usually the names Of the judges are
announced in the newspaper, but this
time no one knew who they were 10 be.
do not impute any wrong or fraud 10
the judges or clerks, but as soon as the
polls were closed the doors and windows
were barred and no one was allowed 10
see the counting Of votes after they had
1een canvassed, and. as you are well
aware the law allows one Of each party
10 witness the count. The representative
OF the Peoples party asked for the privi-
lese Of seeing the vote counted which
was denied them. Contrary to all usage
and custom, the votes of certain wards
were not made known after the vote had
been counted.

THE PORTSMOUTH ELECTION.

The election recently held in the city Of
Portsmouth furnishes melancholy lesson
upon the effect that condoning frauds in
elections will certainly produce.
In the fall Of 1875, James d. Brady and
John H. Gayle were respectively Repub-
lican and Democratic candidates TO rep
resent Portsmouth in the State Senate.
Gayle was returned elected Brady con-
tested his seat upon the ground Of fraud
in the city of Portsmouth. Evidence was
taken. and the case was passed on by
the Senate Committee on Elections, con-
sisting of nine senators, of which
Hon. John w. Daniel was chairman.
Seven senators agreed to the committees
report, which was written and signed by
Major Daniel as chairman, and can be
seen in the Senate Journal for 1876.
The committee reported that outrageous
frauds had been committed in Ports
mouth, and it recommended that Gayle
be unseated and that Brady be seated
The following are extracts from Major
Daniels report:
I'm the two impeached wards Of
Portsmouth city, which are now being
considered. 1,134 votes were cast. and
2,34S ballots were found in the boxes
more than double the whole number Of
votes. That such vast discrepancies could
not have arisen without gross and I'M
blushing frauds, is too obvious 10 need
argument; and as the boxes We're found
TO have been stuffed when the polls
closed, and must have been stuffed while
the voting was progressing. and while
they We're under the eyes Of the Judges of
election, 1t is hard to conceive that the
operation could have been performed
without the active participation, or tacit
conniVance or some one of them Indeed
IL is almost absolutely certain that there
were series Of fraudulent stuflnes of
each of the ballot-boxes. How
ever the Senate may determine in respect
10 the question of official guilt. il is quite
clear that at both Of the wards the bal
iot-boxes were, through some agency
completely submerged in fraud which
drowned out Of sight the honest SURFACES
Of the people"
Notwithstanding this report Of its com
mittee the Senate made the mistake Of
oyerruiing its recommendation and retain
ing Gayle in his seat 1t condoned the
fraud. What is the result? There is no
more such thing as an election in Ports
mouth. In the late election, out Of a
voting population of more than 1000
Cooke was given five TO votes. This IS
of course, absurd, and this result we nav
look for in every quarter Of the State.
if cheating in elections is winked at or
condoned.
