THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTO WASHINGTON’S NEIGHBORS. Virginia Freeholders and Their Election Franchise Before the Revolution. BISTORIC NAMES IN FAIRFAX COUNTY—DESCEND- ANTS LIVING IX THE SAME LOCALITY —QUALI- PICATIONS OF VOTERS—HOW AND BY WHOM TRE PRIVILEGE OF VOTING WAS EXERCISED. The following list of the freemen of Fairfax county, Virginia, who in 1748 assembled at the court-house and there voted for two candidates for the house of burgesses, according to the then existing law, bas been preserved among the miscellaneous papers of General Washing- ton. This list has special interest to the histo- rian as it preserves the names of the neighbors and freemen among whom Washington, from the age of fifteen, had his home. It is com- piled from documents in the possession of Dr. J. M. Toner, who is engaged in editing the diaries of Washington. At the poll taken in 1743 Major Lawrence Washington. half brother of George and the owner of Mount Vernon, was chosen s burgess. Five candidates were in the field. Their names, with the number of voteseach received, were as follows: Major Lawrence Washington, 188 (W.) Capt. Richard Osborn, el (0.); Col. Colvil ©.); George. Mason, 93 (M.); and Hugh West. 46 (We.). To this early record is ap- nded two other lists of the freemen of Fair- county when George Washington was in the vigor of manhood and himself a candidate and elected to the honse of burgesses, One of these is for the year 1765 and the other for 1768. It will. however, be remembered that General Washington was first elected to the house of burgesses from Frederick county. Virginia, in 1758, where he owned and cultivated several large plantations and was, therefore, eligible to vote there and to hold office. From 1758 to the opening of the Revolution Washington was continuously a member of the assembly. These appended lists of the freemen of Fairfax county are deemed important as showing the names of ‘ashington’s neighbors at the period just antedating the opening of the Revolution. It is true these election returns do not show with certainty the actual residence of the voting freeholders. ‘The law required the voter to be a freeholder in the county in which he voted, but did not restrict it to freeholders residing in tne county. This list affords an example of the persistency of families and their descendants to Femain in a particular locality. An inquiry de- velops the fact that in Fairfax county more than one-half of all the freemen voting in 17483 have descendants still living in that county. The town of Alexandria was organized in 1749 by an act passed the year before. renee Washington and Richard Osborne were named as members of the first board of trustees. Colchester was founded the same ear. 2 The names in each of these lists are arranged in alphabetical order. with letters affixed indi- | ating the candidates for whom each freeman | voted. There were but few elective offices in Virginia in those days, the burgesses and church wardens being the chief ones. QUALIFICATIONS OF VOTERS, At the close of the first century of our na- tional independence and of constitutional gov- ernment. wheu nearly all offices are elective, with us the laws and regulations then in force | amorg the people seem odd, It may not be un- interesting here to refer toa few of the more striking features of the colonial laws providing for the choice of burgesses and the qualifications | of freemen or voters. The “acts of assembly of Virginia provide that the freeholders of | every county (qualified as in section 32) shall | have the privilege of electing two of the most fit and able men of their connty and the free- holders of James City: one burgess to be pre d to act and vote in any general assem- The freeman of those times was ex- pected to exercise his “privilege” of voting. il deed it would seem from section 111 of the law t it was not only a duty expected, but an ob- | ligation to be enforced under a penalty for | ueglect. The section is m these words: “Every | frecholder actually resident in each county, | shall appear and vote at such election, or for- Law- | Brown Jobn, W, C. Brown Rich'd, O, We. Brown Thos., W, O.

After receipt of such copy and endorsement the minister or reader snall publish the same er divine service in his church or chapel every Sunday between such receipt and the day of election.” A FREE RALLOT. To the end of securing a true poll and the unintluenced preference of the freeholders for the cundidate of their choice, provision was made in the law to punish any tampering with or intluencing of voters. Section xv. on this point is: “Any person who shall after the teste, or issuing out of any writ of election by bim- or by any other ways or means on bis be- If, or at his charges, before his election for ¥ county, town, or corporation, directly or indirectly, give, present, or allow to any per- son or persons, having vote in such election, any mouey, meat, drink, entertainment, provi- sivas. present, gift, or reward; or make any agreement. obligation, or engage- r the same, to or for the use, advantage, t. employment, protit or preferment of uch person or persons, county, town, or corporation, in ordar to be elected, shall be disabled and incapacitated upon such election, to serve in the assembly, for such county, town, or corporation, to all intents and pur, as if he had never been returned or elec ma Ler of the same. THE RETURNS. A method was contemplated, and no doubt sionally practiced, to determined the result the poll by the sheriff's counting the adher- ents of the several candidates and declaring the Tes The section of the law permitting this € om « rmined by the view, by the consent of the frecholders, the sheriff, or in his absence the er sheriff, shall take the poll, in the manner follwr He shall — such and so many j all think fit, being first sworn t for their true and impartial taking of th ‘who (in the court house, in the pres- ene the several candidates named, or such pe as they may, if they think fit, appoint to see the poll fairly taken,) shall take the poll in manner following: T or under sheriff as bore Leryn by the she esnid for the rovided, write down Bameo of the candidatsein a eeveral column of the book, aud the name of every eeholder coming to give his vote, shall be fairly written in the several pages or columns respectively, under the names of the candidate by bim voted for.” It was a compliance with this provision of the law for the election of bur- gesses which has preserved these lists of the freemen of Fairfax county here presented.

The United States man-of-war Nipsic, which was beached at Apia, Samoa, in the hurricane of March 15, was floated on the 21st of March, the natives assisting to get her off. This news came by way of Sidney, N. 8. W., where it was brought by the British man-of-war Calliope, which managed to escape from the harbor of Apia in time to avoid destruction from the hur- ricane. The captain of the Calliope says he took all precautions to make his vessel secure when the storm arose. He had five anchors out, but the fury of the storm snapped five of the chains and the vessel began to drift. He then determined to put to sea, and the Calliope made her way out against tremendous seas, which broke over her, The German nayal authorities have ordered the cruiser Habicht and the gunboat Wolf to be put in readiness at once to proceed to Samoa, The German corvette Sophie will start from Zauzibar for Samoa to-di nee Mn.

Wita t, intelligent and iripartial spectal correspond- ents at all centers of interest, by the free use of the telegraph, and with the superior mechanical facilities with which its office is equipped, it covers the whole field of news, and is able to presente reflex of the entire civilized world each day up to the very moment of going to press. In these re pects THE Stak is absolutely without @ rival, and fearlessly challenges comparison, within range of the territory it occupies. In its treatment of public affairs it is impartial an¢ aims to be fair and just to all taithsand inter. ests, and it is absolutely independent, in the high- ung,and Pitts: | est and broadest sonse of the term. In the publi- | cation of news it records facts without bias or color, and in the expression of editorial opinion is is as steady and firm in advocating and promoting only what it believes to be right, as it is persistent in condemning and opposiug what it believes to be Wrong. It is, in brief, wholly untrammeled by ang other interest or consideration than that of serving the public, and securing as far as possible the wele | fare of the family circle, and of society as a whole, | With these general objects in view, what Tas | Stak specially concerns itself with, and that to which it gives its best efforts, may be briefly de- scribed as THE INTERESTS OF WASHINGTON AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, To these the paper has been unswervingly devoted since its present management assumed its direction, and this policy will characterize the future career of the paper es prominently as it has marked its past history.

Being mains to be added on this head, as an indication Of the esteem in which the paper is held bythe business public, which best understands its own interests in this respect, that, both in the number of subscribers and of new advertisements printed, each year in the history ot the paper shows a large | increase over its predecessor.
