THE VIRGINIA republicans made
such complaint against the Mccormick
election law, that to quiet their clamor
the Walton law was passed, and every
unprejudiced man who observed the
operation of that law last week must
concede that for fairness, impartiality
and equality it could not be excelled.
But, if any thing, the republicans are
more opposed to it, than to the old
law. The only absolutely fair way in
which the privilege, not right, of suf-
frage can be exercised, is the viva voce
system that was in use in Virginia up
to the commencement of the war be-
tween the States, by which an election
officer stood at the polls and cried out
in the hearing of the voter the names
of the candidates for whom he had
voted. But the republicans are more
opposed to such q system than they are
even to that provided by the Walton
law. Indeed, no election law would
suit them except one that would pro-
vide that the negroes shall dominate
the white people of the South, but such
an one they may rest assured, though it
may be enacted, will never be e1er-
cisad

TIE Baltimore Sun insists that all
the recent damage done to the demo-
cratic party is the work of two Senators
from Louisiana, two from Maryland,
two from New York, two from New
Jersey, and one from Ohio. If the San
were not so prejudiced against Senator
German, of its own State, it would
know that, save only and except for the
Senators it SO illogically censures, there
would have been no new tariff bill at
all, and the pillaging Mckinley bill
would still be in operation.

GOVERNOR. ELECT MORTON of New
York acknowledges that he paid nearly
twenty thousand dollars for his election.
How much he gave, he does not say,
but, from all accounts, it must have
been great deal more. His salary is
ten thousand year and his term of
Office lasts two years. 1t is the same
way now throughout the North, and,
sad to say, is becoming so in the South,
the electioh expenses of many of the
members of Congress from this section
amounting to almost as much as their
salaries. =, Hundreds of voters, white
and black alike, in all parts of the
country now put pecuniary value upon
their ballots and refuse to cast them ex-
cept for material consideration. And,
worst of all, they are not ashamed to do
so, but, as attested, in some OF the
Northern States they sit on the fences
near the election polls all day long,
waiting for purchasers of their ballots.
But this is only the legitimate and nat
ural consequence of unrestricted suf-
frage, which has done more to debase
the people of this country than any of
the many other evils that have afflicted
it. And the worst of it is, that it can
not be cured, but must spread until the
whole body polite shall become cor.
rupt, for
"a bold peasantry, their country's pride.
When once destroyed can never be supplied"

ACCORDING TO Mr.. CAST, who was in

ACCORDING TO Mr.. CAST, who was in
spector of steam vessels for the Norfolk
district during the Harrison, and for
long time under the present adminlstra-
ton, says Mr.. Boreland, the defeated
republican congressional candidate IN
that district, will contest the election OF
Congressman Tyler because eight
thousand defective ballots cast there
were not counted. The throwing out
of defective ballots is the sole ground
upon which all the republican congress
sional contestants in Virginia base their
claims to the seats for which democrats
hold certificates. Well suppose sixteen,
instead of eight, thousand defective bal
lots had been thrown out in the Nor
folk district, and an equal number in all
the others, the democratic candidates
would still have been legally elected,
because the law under which the cleo
ton was held provides that none of
such ballots shall be counted, and that
the certificate of election shall be given
to the candidate who shall have re-
ceived majority of perfect ballots. If
an illiterate white or black voter refuses
to ask the law officer, stationed at the
polls for that express purpose, to IN
struct him in the preparation of bis bal
lot, the loss thereof is his own fault and
the blame for it rests solely and entire
lv upon himself. If the election judges
had allowed defective ballots to be
counted they would have rendered
themselves subject to the severe penal
ty of the law, and, if the case were re-
versed, as the majority of them are
democrats, none would have been more
urgent in the demand for the infection
of that penalty, than the very republic
cans who now say such ballots should
not have been rejected.
