THE STATE COMMITTEES DECIs-

The result Of the contests before the
state Committee Is Just what was TO be
expected. When Malone fixed his con-
glomerate rule Of white man and negro
upon the state. outragiug all sense OF de-
cency and threatening utter ruin to the
people. Virginians stood aghast and con-
ssnted that MS rule should be overthrown
by any means whatever that would Sc
cure them relief. They consented 10
trickery instead OF force as the weapon
bv which they should be freed, and, once
in operation. that weapon was found to
be 30 effective and yet SO easily welded
that they have simply tolerated it unui
now when s~elf-respecting men see that
II is being turned against themselves
with all the energy with which they ex-
nscted 10 see it used against a common
enemy,
This greiched business has run along In
exactly the course that all intelligent men
knew it must follow at the beginning.
Tolerated at the outset as the easiest way
ont of a difficult situation. II was a fore
gone conclusion that those who were
trusted with the stocked deck Of cards
would inevitably use these cards against
their own associates as soon as they saw
"a Mace where q strong hand would win
the stake for themselves. The result IS
inst what all sensible men knew 1t would
he FROM many quarters of the State
came ND cries from the best citizens Nir-
einia has. that in selecting the represen-
tatives Of the white mans party ring rule
and frauds in elections stihe the voice Of
those most concerned in a good govern
ment for county aud State.
Is the contest now prevailing in Char
lctte county to be sneered at as the state
Committee sneers at it as a fractions
outbreak by Disconnected soreheads who
dim at demoralizing Democrats and dis
organizing the party? Let any one take
the trouble to inquire and he will find that
more than half Of the Democrats Of Char
lot;e county claim that the party authori-
ties in the county are nothing but a court
house ring that will not allow any cleo
ton Whatever 10 result III any INNS N"-
agreeable 20 It. lie viii find the rebellion
against his ring participated in by the
very best citizens Of Charlotte county who
are men that never cast any but a Demo
cratic ballot in their lives. The same IS
true OF the contest in Isle Of Wight and
indeed. in all the other contests. Yet the
committee has summarily dismissed these
men and declared TO them that they must
accept party rule or be branded aa~dis-
turbers OF the public peace.
But what is to be the outcome? Does
any man believe that the men Of Char
iotie and Isle Of wight who have taken
this stand are going to give ii up. lie who
imposes SO knows very little Of the Viz
sinia character. The ease is a very seri-
Gus one and one that is to be treated with
common sense an, not by violence or
tricks. and the sooner the party authori-
ties OF virginia recognize that fact. the
hetter IT viii be for the party In this state.

A SUBSCRIBER.
Our correspondent does not distinguish
between the auxiiaries can and may.
The one is potential. the other is permis-
sive. A man having a living wife from
whom he has not obtained a legal d.
yorce can undoubtedly marry again, pro
vided ne be lucky IN love-making. But
under The laws Of Virginia, he is not per-
miited TO do so. In the case cited it would
be a very simple matter for the husband
TO obtain a divorce on the ground of de-
sertion. but I'm this State a marriage con
tract runs until dissolved by death, or a
decree OF the court. In short the de-
serted husband can marry without getting
a divorce, but he may not.
