TUPROVEMEN At MIRTINSTTLLE
Contract Made for New Water Works-A
Compromise with Gravely's Sure les.

MARTINSVILLE. VA, Feb. 2i.-Spe-
cial.-The town council has closed with
the Virginia Paving and Construction
Company contract TO put. in water
works for the town at a cost of 1000
per cent town bonds to be taken at
par in payment and. / understand. these
bonds have been sold in Roanoke at par
This action OF the council has by no
means met with the approval Of all Of
our citizens and there is a likelihood that
an Injunction will be asked 10 restrain
further proceedings under the contract,
and TO prevent the issuing Of town bonds.
The board of supervisors for this coun-
~ met yesterday and compromised with
the sureties of w ;. Gravely, late treas
urer Of Henry county the suits now
pending in the courts against them for
a balance of nearly $1,000. claimed 10 be
due the county on Gravely's transactions
as treasurer. The amount of the comprO-
mise was $500. about 60 per cent. of the
amount claimed by the county.
Mr.. John w. Morris aged eighty-fOur
years. and a much esteemed and re-
spected citizen, living near town, died
last Thursday.
There is much pneumonia in town, but
il has been confined principally TO chill

A MATTER TO BE PONDEIED on.

There is beyond question. a strong,
and possibly growing sentiment. in the
State Of Virginia, in favor of constitu-
tional convention to deal with the ques-
ton Of suffrage. DISCUSSES about it are
worse than useless. The idea is to adopt
constitutional provision that will prac-
tically disfranchise the negroes. If the
this course we should think it "A most
unfortunate resolution for them to come
to. and we want all men to think on it
carefully before they make up their
minds to ii.
We do not believe that there is any
considerable body Of Vrgnians who would
agree to deprive white men who do not
own property, or white men who can not
read and write, of their right of suffrage,
yet constitutional provision must oper-
ate equally upon white and black alike.
The fifteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States would sim
ply nullify and make void any constitu-
tional provision which took the suffrage
property and cannot read and write, and
left the suffrage to the same classes of
the white people. If such a provision is
made effectual, therefore, il must be
one which pretends to operate equally
upon all alike, but which is put into
force by methods that will disfranchise
the ignorant negroes and those without
property, and will secure the suffrage TO
the white people who are ignorant, or
who have no property.
The idea is that few negroes will be
found to have the necessary property
and educational qualifications, that few
white men will be found without both.
This would, OF course, involve "A fraud.
and it is for the people Of Virginia to ask
thems elves If they are willing to build
their institutions and laws upon founda-
ton of legal sanction ana countenance
70 fraud? Had they not better fight the
thing out in small localities each locality
fighting its own battle. by the methods
through which brave, moral, and strong
men deal with all difficult situations?
This is the al-important question for
the people Of Virginia to ask themselves.
Liberty could not long survive TO
people who live in an atmosphere OF
daily false pretence. Their state and
national character would necessarily soon
come down to the level OF their laws
and nothing would survive of that noble
civilization which Virginia has known.
but a rcgretful memory of 1t 10 those
few who would live upon memory alone.

! very much changed since Cleveland wa
elected IN 1871 and the negro FIRST learned
that Democratic success did not meal
negro slavery.
But suppose some negroes are eiecteu :
is that worse shan having the cancer Oh
conscious fraud 10 eat its way into the
heart OF the reputable and hitherto brave
and honest white men?
Can any man say that he Is true man
II he is deliberately committisg or en-
couraging perjury?
And we ask again where will IL stop!
Who can tx the limits 10 the contas'oh
! of approved and encouraged fraud? we
declare most solemnly that 1t will most
surely undermine every safeguard, not
only OF popular government, but OF so
cicty itself.
For the evils of these frauds are not
! confined TO the negro counties. We insist
that the permission Of cheating In eiec-
,ions I'm one county will inevitably result
I'm the introduction Of such methous III
other counties where there IS no dan
ger Of negro domination, and 1t VIII p"'

officers who adopt such methods ana VIII

reject fraud.
II will not be confined to the black
belt. and is not now confined there. Nnat
have we seen at Smither's, In Henrico!
IL will be only question of time ana
opportunity when men will be found
who will argue-and it will be hard to
resist their logic-that If it is fair in
one place it is fair in another and that
all is fair in politics, and the whole
foundation Of our Government will crum-
bic.
We insist that our contention Is for the
preservation Of the integrity Of the char
acter Of the white people, and the per-
petuation Of those brave and manly quail
tiles which have made Nirginians distin-
glished and honorable. We shall permit no
false clamor from the corrupt, or cry
Of alarm from the timid. or abuse from
the malignant, 10 divert US from our
course We know that we have the well
fare and honor Of our people at heart,
and We are as willing to defend it now
as we were thirty years ago.
But we would like to ask white DEM
ocrat" a question, and the Dispatch also.
our whole contention is that cheating in
elections shall be discontinued. "White
Democrat" and the Dispatch are making
opposition TO what we contend for Is
not white Democrats" whole case
based upon the assumption that cheating
does take place in elections. and that
the civilization Of the negro counties
makes it necessary? Is he not then de-
Tending cheating in elections? and if not,
what does he mean by opposing us when
we argue that cheating i'm elections shall
cease? What does the Dispatch mean by
opposing us if it is not defending cheating
in elections?
