ELECTION OF SENATOR BY DI.
RECT VOTE.
(Fredericksburg Free lance. !


The Washington Post, comment
ing upon the apparent determiua-
ton of the people in various sections
of this country to select United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people, in spite of and practically in
defiance of the provisions of the U.
5. Constitution providing for their
selection by the Legislatures of the
various States, says in part:
Virginia Is TO elect Senator in Con.
gress by direct vote, for that Is what the
Democratic primary means, and next
year Tennessee will hold a State nrimsrv
election of the Democratic party TO de-
termine whether Il. w. Carmack shall
be re- elected Senator or surrender his
toga to X. l.. Taylor. Both Virginia and
Tennessee are Democratic states, aud for
some forty years the Democratic party
has been claiming that IL Is the only friend
the Constitution ot the United States
has left among the living, assuming that
the Democratic party il alive, which is
doubtful. That Constitution provides
that Senators shall be elected by the
state legislatures, and 10 choose them by
popular vote of the dominant party of a
State Is defeat of the Constitution and
revolutionary In character.
In 1858 Douglas and Lincoln were the
candidates for their respective parties for
Senator from Illinois. but there was no
thought of State primary, and no as
sault on Section 3. Article of the Con-
stttution, IN their csndidature. They were
named by-general consent lat least Doug.
las was. This innovation will have but
one result. 1t will transfer from the State
Legislature 10 party convention the se
lection of Senators.
just one reflection: Cleon was des-
picable character, a disgusting dema-
agogue; vain, shallow, mischievous
Aristides was an admirable character, a
sage, patriot, hero-Aristides the
Just, and he might be called Aristides
the Great Ii these two Athenians were
reincarnate, and American cirfzans and
politicians, it Is as certaih Is that tomOr-
rows sun shall run his course in the
heavens that Cleon would favor the cleo
tIon of United States Senators by popu,
lar vote. and IL Is equally certain that
Aristides would cling.to the system of
the fathers
All the same, the people will have their
way; and In some OF the States they have
already accomplished IL.
If the above sentiments were ex-
pressed by a Democratic paper in
Virginia at this time. they would no
doubt be regarded as reasonable, but
nevertheless there is much in what
the Post says, anil there are strong
arguments to be made on each side
of the controversy. At present the
primary method of selecting Sena-
tors is in the experimental stage, and
the question of it's survival is one of
doubt, the outcome of which is be-
ing watched By conservative people
with no little interest.

TRIBUTE To THE LATE WIN. G.
NEWBILL.

Huntsville Corr. Free Lance)
The death of Mr.. VIM. G. Newbin, of
Essex, on Friday last, was unexpected
though Mr.. Newbill had passed four score
and eight years. He was as well as usual
in themorning, but at an early hourin the
day was taken i'll and soon succunIbed to
the attack. He was laid away in the
cemetery at Lebanon Methodist church
on Saturday morning in the presence of a
crowd of those who knew him and loved
him. DIR. VIM. j. Newbill. of Irvington:
DR.. Christopher +. Newbill, of Norfolk;
Judge III. Logan NewbiH. OF Montague.
this county; Mr.. Charles b. Newbill.
deputy treasurer of Essex, and Mrs. Street,
wife of W. III. Street, treasurer OF Essex,
are his surviving children. He also leaves
a widow, his second wife, who was Miss
Tompkins, daughter of Col. Tompkins,
deceased, of fredericksburg. Mr.. Newbill
was for many years prominent in the af-
fairs of his county, and held the respect OF
all who knew him. He was man of ex-
cellent Judgment, OF untiring energy, OF
iron nerve, and strong devotion to his
friends. You knew exactly where to place
him politically, socially and religiously, for
he WAS ABSOLUTELY decided and fixed in his
views. II there was one thing among
the many to admire in the character of
this deceased old Virginia gentleman, it
would be this decision, this fxedness,
this quality of character, which told YOU
just what he was. Let him call YOU friend
and he would stand by you through thick
and thin in storm or in sunshine. day or
night, in everything so long as he be-
lieved you to be in the right. To those
he did not admire, he gave politeness and
one would not care to intrude further for
he would know exactly where he stood.
The perfect parental love and the reliance
upon hisjudgment shown by his children.
even i'll his advanced age, to me were
proofs enough of that splencid home
training which he had given, and the ex
ample which he had set. He was proud
OF his children and they were proud of
him. They gathered around him from a
distance whenever it was possible, even
at the sacrhce oil business and their own
interest. Thesei family reunions were sweet
and precious to his sons and daughter.
They tearfully gathered for the last time
on this earth on Saturday and watched
with that deep sorrow that the child
only knows, loving hands laid him away
to rest in the church yard of that church
he loved so well, and in which he had
stood as tower of strength for so many
years. Your correspondent voices the
sympathy of this vicinity for his family
in their affection. 1.-The young may die,
the old must, " is true, yet it is sad to see
these old landmarks fall, and we pause
and ponder, and ask who among the rising
generation will stand in their stead.
