ShOuId he Elected by the People
Danyille Register.)


Mr.. W. o. Hardaway. a prominent law
yer OF Roanoke. has written a long letter
TO the Evening World. OF that city,
strongly favoring a convention to alter
our old patched-up Constitution. One
change he urges is that the election OF
judges, Capitol basement officers, &C.,
be taken from the legislature and put in
the hands OF the people. Mr. Hardaway
says:
with the exception of the Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney-G ne
raj. all of our important officers, running
up into the hundreds. are chosen by the
Legislature. No sane man can give any
reason why such q miserable provision
should have been embraced in our or
ganic laws unless its constructors thought
that they would continue to control this
Commonwealth and therefore provide Off
clal positions for themselves and families
indefinitely. This could not have been
done for the best interest Of the Common
wealth. and it certainly does not tend to
promote our chances OF securing the most
suitable material for Legislature.
When we come to select our law
makers the aspirants for these numerous
positions recognizing that the Legislature
is the dispenser OF all this official patron
age, one and all of them, without eXcep-
ton, cast an anchor 10 windward,' and
press with all the earnestness OF pard-
sans ths claims OF those candidates for
legislative honors no they think will
most likely promote their official aspra-
tons"
Mr.. Hardaway proceeds to show how
satisfactorily this plan works in other
States, notably in North Carolina.
Unquestionably the judges should be
elected by the people. and we have never
seen any sense in delegating TO the Legis-
lature peoples right to name the Capitol
basement officers.
There is a great deal OF work for the
coming constitutional convention TO do.
and the Register will never cease to feel
proud that 1t started the cry for a conven-
ton to uproot the old Underwood mon
strOsity.

Against AppOmnttOx Park.

To the Editor or the DIspatch:
l am sorry to differ with my good
friends Of the Dispatch, and so many OF
my old comrades among the Confederate
veterans. and yet / am sure that l voice
the feelings OF very many Of our people
when 1 say that l am opposed to the
scheme of making a national park OF
Appomattox Courthouse. and for the same
reason that we opposed changing the
name to Surrender"
| do not desire to perpetuate the
memories OF that sad day when 7,s'
ragged, starved. but heroic Confederates
were surrounded by nearly 10000 Fed
erals. and our grand old chief announced
that he was compelled 10 yield to over
whelming numbers and resources"
II we must have national park fr
Virginia why not select as the SPOT Ma
nassas. where on the Dist of July. 1851
We routed the Grand Army" sent against
US. and in August, 1852, drove John Pops
pell-mell into the Notifications around
Washington-or Gainess Mill and Colo
Harbor. where on the 9th Of June. 1862
we stormed McClellan's strong works
and drove him. as the result of sever
days battles. to the cover Of his gun
boats at Westover. and where In June
1864. Grant received his crushing defeat
which swelled his losses on the campaign
TO more men than Lee mad, and compellec
him TO sit down to the siege of Peters
burg, a position which he could have
taken at first without firing a shot OF
losing a manor Fredericksburg &C
Charlottesville. or The Wilderness, OF
Spotsylvania Courthouse. or some one OF
Jackson's battlehclds in the Valley. OF
the Crater. or other parts of the Peters
burg lines?
In word. why should old Confederates
pass by all Of the fields OF glorious vic.
tory which were written on their tatterec
battlefiags and select as the site of the
national park" the scene Of our last
sad humiliation? l am not surprised that
Federal soldiers should desire to perpetu-
ate memories OF Appomattox. but how
Confederates can join them in it Is.
confess. more than ! can understand

Fur-Seai Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., February %
President Cleveland has issued his annual
proclamation in regard to fur seals. The
document, which is dated February 18TH,
but Is only now made public, diners In
no respect except in date and sisnaturel
from previous proclamations of the United
States. The provisions OF section 1856, Re-
vised Statutes, and of section or the
act OF March 2. 1859. are quoted. These
provisions forbid. under penalty OF fine
and imprisonment. the unauthorized kill
ing OF any fur-seal within the Territory
OF Alaska, ''or the waters thereof" at
any time and prohibits all unauthorized
persons from entering the waters OF
Bering sea for this purpose. The procla-
nation simply follows the lines OF the Re-
vised Statutes OF the United States and
make no reference 10 the schedule OF the
Paris Tribunal of Arbitration. which es-
tabished forbidden zone of sixty miles
around the Pribyloff Islands. and only
prohibits the killing in Boring sea- out
side that zone between the lst of May
and the 3lst of July of each year.

quite a little bullsh feeling In stocks. but,

scriptions and the virtual defeat OF the
free-silver-coinage bill in the Senate. was
disappointing. but the best opinion is that
when the Importance OF the efforts Of the
syndicate to keep the government gold
reserve intact is better understood It will
be reflected in broader and higher mar
ket for securities generally. Already ster-
ling exchange has commenced to weaken
on sales Of bills by bankers Identified

ment issues have advanced TO higher
level.
The new fours, for which subscriptions
were invited at ll2 Ia this morning, were

Probably the best feature OF the deal
Is that considerably over one half OF the
new issues will be placed abroad. The

after the announcement tnat j. J.. Nor

Click VS.. Trick.
Lynchburg Advanced

Nynchburg Advance)
The Richmond Times is opposed to the
mississippi trick in elections, but Ia
vors the Mississippi click. In short, the
Times Is dead set against any scheme or
suffrage for Virginia which would enable
the intelligent people to govern and eX-
clude ignorance from the polls. II ia
vors a law that will guarantee every stu
pid negro in the back belt their right TO
vote, and IL would send TO the penlten-
tiary every election officer or other per-
son who should evade or violate that
law by cheating the negro out OF his vote.
Then the Times, you say, favors the
domination of the towns and counties or
the black belt by the ignorant negroes
and their detestable scalawag white lead
ers.
Not at all. What, then? Why the
Times, according to it's own specific de-
claration, fayors the Mississippi shotgun
policy. IL favors assassination instead
of legal exclusion. IL favors a law that
will give the negro the right TO vote and
a practice that will Kill him IL he exercise
that right Here is what the Times said
on this point last February:
The white people of southampton coun-
ty must exert themselves In an open and
manly way to control the elections IN
Southampton county, but they must not
use cheating and frauds in elections as
their means We say again 10 White
Democrat and his southampton friends,
assert yourselves like mea, notify the ne
groes and their mean white allies, far
worse than the negroes, that you are not
going to allow them to rule you, ana then
bring out all the voters, white and black,
you can to preserve the control of your
county IN your own hands. Be perfectly
honest, be firm, be fair. and avoid Vio-
lence IL possible; but there are things
in life worse than the fignting necessary
to securing and enjoying those rights
which belong to all men,
That IS to say. pass law for man

the theory OF the law. But II the ma
jority happens TO be negroes and their
mean white allies in the black belt.
give them to understand that the law
was not meant for them. And II they
are so ignorant as not TO taKe the mint;
if they persist in claiming their rights
under the law which the Richmond Times
would enact, why just load them up with
buckshot. IT is better TO kill ignorant ne
groes any day than 10 keep them from
voting by legislative enactment! That Is
the doctrine OF the newspaper which IN
Inmates that the Democrats cheated Hoge
out Of the election in this district.
