the attorney for the Commonwealth IN
this county, applied for an injunction to
restrain Athe Board of Supervisors from
Issuing Warrants TO pay the expenses
of the last election. and the Treasurer
from paying warrants already Issued. In
these proceedings. ex parte, Mr.. Butord
asserts that the whole law Is unconsti-
tutional. repugnant alike to the Consti-
tuition of Virginia and the CONSTITUTION
of the United States. In opening his ar
eument he stated n personal Interest, be
ing himself an oflce-holder. ana that
500 ballots had been rejected IN
this county In the late election; the con-
stables misunderstanding the law or
acting under improper advice as 10 their
power and duties. 1t was at 'he speclai
constable he aimed his heaviest shot,
which. ne argued, destroyed utterly the
object Of the ballot-its secrecy-compel-
ling the elector to make. 1t might be,
his political opponent and enemy the
renository of his secret. He cited many
and very high authorities in support OF
his opinions. which were presented In a
very forcible. lucid. and logical way, ana
with perfect freedom from improper per-
sonality. The case will go TO the Court OF
Appeals and the validity Of the law
be tested.

GOV. EVANS ADDRESS.

We listened will, close attention to
the address delivered by Gov. Evans
when he assumed the Presidency OF
the Convention yesterday, and we
can say without hesitation, that we
were pleased with the tone and TEN
per of his remarks With one or two
exceptions we can and do endorse
the suggestions he made; and we be-
lieve that if the suggestions made by
Gov. Evans are wisely Incorporated
into the new Constitution the State
will be the better off. His sugges-
tons were neither new nor novel, and
are the better for it perhaps. but all
were sensible and: based upon reason
and experience.
The principa points ofGov swans
address were his advocacy of educa-
tionalz qualification Of the suffrage, the
liberal and continued support Of the
public schools. the maintenance of
all of the States institutions for high
-er education, the election0f all off:
GERS, including jadges, by popular
vote, the establishment Of county
courts aud chain gangs where prls-
oners will be made to work the pub
lic roads, the enactment Of general
law providing for the chartering of
corporations and removing from tie
Legislature the annual nuisance of a
large number of special acts for the
incorporation of all sorts of compa-
MES
On all Of these questions he came
ont plainly and placed himself on
record in favor of them. Gov.
Evans has risen considerably in our
estimation. and his address yester-
iay was the means by which the
change was accomplished He could
have very easily confined himself to
platitudes or generalitics, but he die
not do so and we commend him for
having chosen the more manly and
honester course
His statement that the municipal
ties are the seats Of corruption, and
that the municipal elections are the
only occasions where corruption and
fraud prevails cannot be allowed to
