(f Mttlttfl fjggft WEDNESDAY EVKN'Q, FEB'RY 5.1873 Effort to Bevlvo Tivn Voeo Voting. Loudoun January 31. j. the Editor of the State Journal: Tho result of the recent state election in Virginia has evitlcntly alarmed tho governor and the legislature of this state, hence they will make im effort to restore the old system of voting "viva voce," or by open ballot, expecting thus to control the votos cf those who have not the moral courage to vote against the party in power, or, in other words, their honest sentiments. I can assert confidently from my knowledgo of public sentiment, as a public officer, that the measure proposed by tho legislature to vote by open ballot will not receive i.QOO votes if submitted to tho people, but will destroy both the governor and legislature, politically speaking.

The present system of voting is much less liable to fraud and to abuse than the old system, and the pretence that bj open ballot fraud and ballot-stuffing will be avoided is sheer political trickery to obtain a new lease of power on the part of those holding state offices. So long as we have a registration law, fraud ai the ballot-box can be easily detected by comparing the number of ballots with the list of registered voters. The governor and legislature know this full well, but they wish to restore the open ballot in order to exercise an outside pressure on the voters who are too timid to vote their true sentiments for fear of political proscription. As far as ascertained, tho voting at the last election trraughout this state was in all respects fair and honorable, except it did not exactly suit the hopes and aspirations of those now in power. 1 have seen many of our best and most substantial citizens, under the old system, vote in direct opposition to their convictions, for fear of incurring public condemnation of the majority, and of having their business relations injured by po- i litical opposition.

I speak the general sentiment of this community when I say that if the method of voting by secret ballot had existed before the war, the ordinance of secession would never have been passed, with all its attendant horrors and evils; but at that titno voting openly in opposition to the majority exposed the voter to violence at tho hands of a crazy mob. I The citizens of Virginia will never consent to have the present system of voting changed so long as they have the nower to prevent i it by their votes. The present legislature seems determined, if possible, to vote the present constitution away by piece-meal, until they get one to suit their own selfish political purposes. These old Virginia re- actionists seem to have forgotten that there has been a great resolution that lias swept away all their old Democratic institutions that existed before the war, and that revolutions are ever progressive and never retrograde like the old llourbou Democrats with which Virginia has so long been cursed. They would doubtless restore the defunct institution of slavery if they could.

The people are tired of this mischievous eternal tampering with the stato constitution to secure political power. The citizens of Virginia of all parties are satisfied with the present system of voting by secret ballot i it is only tho anxious Democratic office- 1 holder that is alarmed at the advance of this monster Republicanism the per i diem men and the high salaried officials are at their wit's ends how to devise means to restrict free suffrage. I speak tho sentiments of four-fijths of the voters when I say that the present system of voting by secret ballot, is the strongest bulwark of free and independent suffrage. One of tite People.

Dr. Nichols, of The Boston Journal ol Chemistry, gives soma very useful hints relative to the management of dairy cows, which are very timely at this inclement sea- son. He says: The extreme sensitiveness of i the mammary functions in cows to the influence of cold, fatigue, excitement, unpleasant odors, is indeed surprising. VVe have been greatly interested in observing the effect of cold upon the milk secretions as seen in the herd of cows upon the farm. During the past summer in the hot days of July aud August, tho animals resorted to the lake to drink, and aftei slaking their thirst they would wade into the water and 1 remain sometimes an hour or two with the legs half immersed.

This habit, it was found, invariably diminishes the flow of milk at night, and in order to learn the extent of diminution, careful observations were made. It was ascertained that standing in the waver an hour diminished the flow to the amount of eight or ten quarts in a herd of thirteen cows. The loss was so great that whenever they resorted to the water they were driven away to the pasture again at once. Ttie nature of the wafer supply, and the conveniences of access, are most important points in the management of milch cows. A draught of ice cold water, taken by a cow in winter, cuts short the milk yield for tho day from one to two pints.

The influence of a cold current of air, and cold drinking water upon cows in milk, is not of a transient nature; it stands for a longer period than a day or week. Many fine animals are ruined by careless exposures every year, aud self-interest and feelings of humanity should prompt all cow owners to keep diligent watch over their welfare and comfort. The right man in charge of a herd of twenty cows, which have been badly managed, will in one month raise tho lacteal products so that the increased cash returns will pay his own wages. This is a statement which has been verified more than once." Trite There is a noble conservatism as well as an ignoble. Would to heaven, for the sake of conservatism itself, the noble alone were left and the ignoble, by some kind, severe hand, were ruthlessly lopped away, forbidden evermore to show itself! For it is the right and noble alono that will have victory in this strugglo the rest is wholly an obstruction, a postponement and fearful imperilin-iit of tho victory.

Towards an eternal centre of right and nobleness, and that only, is all this confusion tending. We already know whither it is all tending; what will have victory, what will have none! The heaviest will reach the centre. The heaviest, sinking through complex fluctuating media and vortices, has its deflexions, its obstructions, nay, at times, its resiliences, its reboutidings, whereupon blockhead shall be heard jubilating, "See, your heaviest ascends but at all moments it is moving centreward, fast as is convenient for sinking, and by laws older than the world, old as the Maker's first plan of the world, it has to arrive I mis IS TO HIVE on the 31st JL day of 1872, a warrant In bankruptcy was issued out of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia against the estate of George W.

Fines will be imposed, unless the delinquency be promptly and satisfactorily explained by certificates oi postmasters or the affidavits of other credible peisons, for failing to arrive in contract time; for neglecting to take the mail from, or deliver It into, a post office for suffer- ing it to be wet, injured, destroyed, robbed, or lost; and for refusing, aftei demand, to convey the mall as frequently as the contractor runs, or is concerned in running, a coach, car, or steam boat on a route. 7. The Postmaster General may annul the contract for repeated failures to run agreeably to contract; for violating the post office laws, or disobeying the insi ructions of the Department; for refusing to discharge a carrier when required by the to do so for running an express as ufor- said or for transporting persons oi packsges conveying mailable matter out of the mail. 8. The Posimaster General may order an increase of service ou a touie by allowing therefor pro rota increase on the contract pay.

He may change schedules of departures and arrivals in all cases, and particularly to make them conform to connections with railroads, without Increase of pay, provided ihe running lime be not abridged Postmaster General may Mho discontinue or curtail the service, in whole or in part, lv order to on the route superior service, or whenever the public iaterebts, in his judgment, shall require such discontinuance or curtailment for any other cause; he allowing as full indemnity actor one month's extra pay on the amount of service dispensed with, and a. pro rata compensation for the amount of service retained and continued. 9. Payments will be made by collections from, or drafts on. postmasters or otherwise, after the expiration of each in November, February, May, and Augnst provided that required evidence of service has been received.

10. The distances given are believed to be substantially correct; but no increased pay will be allowed -hould they be greater ih advertised, if the points to be supplied are correctly stated. Bidders must inform themselves on this point, and atsoin reference to the weight of the mail, the condition of hills, roads, streams, Ac, and all toll-bridges, turnpl.es, plank-roads, ferries, or obstructions of any kind by which expense may be incurred. No claim lor additional pay, based on such ground, can be considered; nor for alleged mistakes or misapprehension as to the degr of service; nor for bridges destroyed, ferries disi continned, or other obstructions causing or increasing distance or expense occurring during the contract term. Offices established after this advertisement is Issued, and alro during the contract term, are to bo visited without extra pay, tf the distance be not increased.

11. Bidders are cautioned to mail their propo- I sals iv time to reach the Department by the day and hour named (3p March for bids received after time willnst be considered in competition with bids, of reasonable amount, re ceived in time. Neither can bids bo considered which are without the guarantee required by law, and a certificate of the sufficiency of such i guarantee, and the oath of the bidder according to portion 246, act of June 8, 1872. 12. bidders should first propose for service strictly according to the advertisement, aud then, if they desire, separately for different service; and if the regular bid be the lowest offered for the advertised service, tbe other propositions may be considered.

13. There should be but one route bid for in a proposal. Consolidated or combination bids one sum for two or more i cannot be considered. i 14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, tbe name and residence of the Didder (that is his usuxl DOst-ofllce address), and tho name of eaoh member of a Arm, wheie a company offers, should be distinctly stated.

Ift. Bidders are requested to as far practicable, the printed pMpos-i Is lumUhed by tho Department, to write out in 'ull the sum of their bids, and to retain copies of them, Altered bids should not be snb.nlt'*«d; nor shouldbids once be witndrawn. No withdrawal ot a bidder or iruaramor will be allowed unless Lhewlthdrawai i- received twen- I ty-four hours previous to the time Oxed fur open- I ing the proposals. Each bid must be guaranteed by two siblo persons. The bid and guarantee should be signed plainly with the full name of each person.

The Postmaster General reserves the right to reject any bid which may bo deemed extravagant; and al-o to disregard the bids of tallng contractors and bidders. (Act of Juno 1872, section 249.) 10. The bid should be sealed, superscribed 'Mail Proposals. State of addressed 'Second Apsistant Postmaster flwwO, Contract Office," and sent by mail, not by or to an agent. Bids of Ifl.ooo per annum and upward must bo accompanied by a certified check or draft on pome solvent national bank, equal to 0 per -ent of the amount.

(See law of Congress of June 8, 1872.) 17. The contracts are to he executed and returned to the Department by or before the day of June, 1873, otherwise the accepted bidder will be ered as having failed, and thi Postm-isier General may proceed to contract for the service with other parties, according to law. Transfers of contracts, or of interests in contracts aro forbidden by law, and tly cannot be allowed. Neither can bids, or interests in be transferred or assigned to other parties Bidders will therefore take notice that they will be expected to perform tho service awarded to them through the whole contract term. 18 Section 249 of the act of June 8,1572, provides that contracts for tho transportation oi the mail shall be "awarded io the lowest bidder tendering sufficient guarantees for faithful per formance, without other reference to the of such transportation than may be necessary to provide for the due color.ty, certainty and security thereof." Under this law bids that propose to transport the mails with "celerity, certainty, and having decided to be the only legal bids, construed as providing for the entire mail, however large, and whatever may be the mode of conveyance necessary to insure ee lerity, certainty, and security," and hate the pref- erence over all others, no others are consid- ered, except for steamboat routes i 19.

A. modification of a bidiii any of its essential terms is tantamount to a new bid, and can- I not be received, so as to interfere with regular I competition. Making anew bid, with guarantee and certificate, is the only way to modify a pro- vlous bid, i 2'i. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify to the sufficiency of guarantors without knowing that they are persons of sufficient responsibility. (See section 247, act of June 8, IS7iJ) They must notsign the certificate uutll the sum of the bid is and the hid and guaranteo are signed by the bidder and (two) a disregard of this instruction by postmasters will subject them to immediate removal, and to severe penalties, Postmasters are also liable to dismissal from office for acting as agents of contractor; or bid- ders.

with or without compensation, in any business, matter, or thing, relating to the mail ser vice. They are the trusted agents of the Depart ment, and cannot consistently act in both capa- cities 21. All bidders, guarantors, and sureties are distinctly notified that on a failure to enter into or perform the contracts for the service proposed for in the accepted bids, their legal liabilities will be enforced against them. 22 Present contractors, and persons known at the Department, must, equally with others, procure gurantors and certificates of their Miffi- ciency tubstantiallv the forms above pre- scribed. Tho certificate of sufficiency must be signed by a postmaster.
