UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE IN AMERICA.

The constitutional amendment, conferring the suffrage
upon all American citizens, without distinction of race or
colour, has been ratified by a large majority of those States
which Lave considered it. But in the far West, especially
in Oregon and California,the amendment is regarded with
great suspicion. The influx of Chinese in these States is
so great that the whites are in danger of being outnum-
bered, and, in case the Chinese get the suffrage,
outvoted. In 1865 the San Francisco steam-
ships brought 3,162 passengers from China, and
carried back 2,211. In 1868 they brought 10,331, and
carried back only 4,209. In fact, the great extension of
the United States is giving rise to a serious difficulty.
What with negroes, Indians, Spanish-Mexicans, Chinese,
and, p )ssibly, Cubans, the Anglo-Saxon element is in soma
danger of being swamped.

z'PHE DISPUTES IN THE BUILDING
TRADES AT MANCHESTER.

The number of stonemasons now unemployed in the
Manchester building trades, has been increased by the
discharge of a large number of bricklayers and
labourers employed at the Town Hall and on other
extensive contracts, consequent on the cessation
of work by the masons. Upwards of 450 men on the
Stonemasons' Union alone have been thrown idle by the
strike, and of this number about fifty left the city on
Monday in search 'of work in other towns. A number
of the men who have been anticipating the strike have
secured passages to America, and will leave England
in the course of a few days. No formal communications
have passed between the employers and the men
since the meeting on Friday night, but on Monday
several of the smaller employers, in addition to the
fourteen mentioned on Monday, conceded the proposal of
the men for a reduction of the hours, together with a
reduction of one shilling on the week's wage. In the
meantime work at nearly all the great public buildings in
ecurse of erection in Manchester has been entirely sus-
pended. The contracts which have been interfered with
in this way include the new Exchange, the Town Hall,
the City Police-courts, several churches or chapels, &c.

MARKE7 S-7 Ills DAY.

MARK-LANE.
At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was mode-
rate, and the trade dull. English wheat sold in retail at
Monday's rates. Foreign wheat moved off slowly at un-
changed orrencies. Raley, beans, and puns remained at
the rates of last market, and met with a limited inquiry.
Oats sell slowly, but at steady prices.
METROPOLITAN.
The markets are over supplied, the weather checking
the demand, even prime fresh killed meat is cheaper,
whilst anything at all stale was to be forced off at low
r
and irregular prices. Beef, 3s 4d to 4s 8d ; mutton, 3s 4d
to 4s 8d ; pork, 4s to 5s ; lamb, 5s 4d to 6s pe stone of

TILE NEW RUSSIAN LOAN.

The new railway loan has not been productive of any
great liveliness in Russian securities. There is a very
general impression in commercial circles that Russia is
borrowing too much. This last £11,000,000 will bring the
total borrowings of the Czar's Government introduced in
London during the last two years up to £33,415,000;
while on the Continent, within little more than the same
period, a further sum of £13,00Q000 has been negotiated.
And even now there is no guarantee that a reasonable
interval will elapse before the cry of "more" is raised.
If this wholesale borrowing in time of peace be continued,
the credit of the empire must fall. It is true that the
money is int n ied for the construction of railways, and
we cannot complain of Russia's desire to have efficient
laud communication, even though it may one day ba
employed against ourselves; but a network of railways is
is net to be made in a few months.

DISCHARGED DOCKYARD WORKMEN.

A public meeting was held at Portsmouth on
Monday, and a statement was made by the Mayor
and other gentlemen, . who had waited on
the Government authorities in London, respect-
ing the emigration of the discharged work-
men. Mr. Childers had placed two ships at
their disposal, and stated that the Government
would give them a free passage out, but a small sum
must be proVided for their rations and the dollar
tax. For every £4OO thus subscribed, Mr. Childers
will give £lOO from a private source. The British
and Colonial Emigration Society will give
five hundred towards the fund, and altogether, the
Mayor said, a thousand pounds was now available.
It was not yet definitely known who would receive
the emigrants on their landing in Canada, but the
Emigration Commissioners would doubtless under-
take that duty. No persuasion of any kind had been
used to induce the men to emigrate, and the work of
the committee began and ended with those who had
determined to leave this country. Admiral -Hope
had no wish for large bodies of skilled workmen
to leave England ; but if it would benefit them
he must agree. If it were certain that
the men and their families would be taken care of in
America he would do all in his power to aid their
emigration to the New World.. The Mayor explained
that the telegraphic reply to the Government
message sent to Canada would no doubt contain a
definite assurance on this point. The meeting was
attended by a number of the discharged dockyard-
men.

HORRORS OF AN INDIANA PRISON.

The following extraordinary story appears in the New
York Dimes :—The astounding disclosures made in regard to
the outrages committed for several years past by the officials
of our Southern State Prison, at Jeffersonville, have formed
the chief topic of conversation in the last few days in
Indiana. The sickening story of the infamies perpetrated
by the villains -whom the venal directors, elected by the Le-
gislature, had intrusted with the management of the Jeffer-
sonville Penitentiary, has excited a thrill of horror through-
out the State. All the dreadful things related about the
sufferings which the Poles had to undergo in Russian
prisons since the insurrection of 1863 hare been en-
tirely eclipsed by the doings of these Indiana State Pri-
son wardens and jailors, who cruelly whipped and
stamped insane persons to clath for no offence what-
ever, made a harem of the female der artment of. the
Penitentiary, stripped the women on Sundays, and caused
them to run races in purls naturalibus, terribly flogging
such of the' girls who had pluck and decency enough
left to refuse to submit to the loathsome em-
braces of the drunken reprobates who lorded it
over them. The legislative report in whicb all
these outrages are related abounis with each
sickening details that the conclusions at which the mem-
bers of the committee who framed the report arrived
appear exceedingly tame ; and the honour of the State
requires' imperatively that the villains who perpe-
trated these atrocities should not be permitted to
escape the punishment due to their crimes by
merely resigning their offices. A very curious feature in
connection with these State Prison horrors is the fact
the several legislative committees who had, previous to the
last investigation, beon sent down to Jeffersonville to re-
port on the condition of the Penitentiary-, allowed them-
selves to be perfectly bamboozled by the warden and his
accomplices, and, after being dined and wined by them, re-
turned with the information that Jeffersonville Prison was
a model institution.

THE REWARD OF INVENTION.

It was stated some two or three years ago that the
late Mr. Snider, inventor of the rifle which bears his
name, and who was so cruelly ill-treated by the War
Office, was actually threatened with legal proceedings
to recover £1 2s. 2d., said to be due from him for
materials furnished during his experiments at the
time that he was waiting for the award to be made
to him by the Government. Mr. Clode, the solicitor
to the War Office, denied the statement most posi-
tively, and as Mr. Snider's papers were then in the
hands of his creditors, it could not be sub-
stantiated. The letter has now been found,
and is clear and curt enough. Mr. Snider is
told that unless the above sum is paid " on or before
Wednesday next, I (Mr. Park Nelson) shall take
proceedings for the recovery of it." If poor Mr.
Snider knows anything of what is going on in that
world which was so cruel to him, it will console him
to find that he did not suffer martyrdom in vain.
His case was so hard, so disgraceful, that the War
Office has been compelled for very shame to turn
over a new leaf ; and so while Mr. Snider, the inven-
tor of a new rifle, died in bankruptcy, Captain
Moncrieff, the inventor of a new gun, gets a
fortune.

Zl2. WHALLEY ON HIS P T ON.

Perhaps among the surprises of the first division
in the House of Commons on the Irish Church, none
was more surprising than that Mr. Whalley, of all
Protestants the most extreme, should be found in
the lobby with Mr. Gladstone. It was hinted at the
time, it has been hinted since, that pressure from his
constituency had not a little to do with his vote. At
last the Telegraph said plainly that the hon.aentle-
man had voted, not according to his principles,
but as was most calculated to secure his success at
Peterborough. Mr. Whalley writes contradicting
this not very complimentary statement. " More
than eight years ago, he says, I took up the May-
nooth question on the understanding that it
might be necessary thus to deal with the
Established Church, and I have since become
convinced that this Church has been, and is,
an ally and a buttress to Popery. That
the Ilomish hierarchy entertain the same views is
apparent from the fact that they support the measure
only on the condition, as lately stated in Parliament,
that the revenues of the Church shall bo applied to
the irrevocable endowment of Maynooth, and other-
wise in their interest, as proposed by the bill. It
remains to be seen whether the Liberal party will
sanction this compromise." It is pretty certain that
the Conservative party will not seek to upset it.

SUNDAY TRADING BILL.

The house then went iuto committee on this bill.
After a few amendments by Mr. CIIAMBEWS of no great
importance, had been agreed to,
Mr. RY LANDS said, the amendments were not on tho
paper, and he moved that the Chairman should report
progress.

The house divided on the motion that the Chairman do
report progress, and there voted—
For the motion
81

.. --
Against it
Mr. BRADY then moved that the chairman leave the
chair.

Mr. MUNTZ seconded the motion.
Mr. BRUCE offered no objection to the bill being road a
second time and passing into committee.
Mr. WO. DOWNING though the bill unnecessary, and
he should therefore support the adjournment.
Mr. RYLANDS spoke until sixteen minutes to six,
when the motion that the chairman do leave the chair was
put, and the committee divided—
For the motion 57

The time for suspending debates having then arrived,
the bill became a dropped order.

The other orders of the day having been disposed of,
the house adjourned.

THE CONVICT SHEWARD.

The application to the Attorney-General for his fiat for
a writ of error was appliod for late this afternoou by Mr.
Poland. Mr. Archibald opposed the application, and the
arguments lasted until half-past six o'clock.
The Attorney-General said ho could not give his assent
without fully considering the arguments both for and
against, and with that view he would state his intention
to-morrow at noon.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., P.R.S.

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Actual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :

1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even less
than for many years past.
3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than
£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence.
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,906.

The following are among the distinctive features of the
Society :
CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of
Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five yoars may remain
on credit.

ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected,
without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay-
able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned
to the increased risk.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.
Tables of Rites and Forms of Proposal can be obtained

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS DAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
MURPHY AND HIS LECTURES.

Mr. S. AYTOLTN asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether he was aware that a pro-
clamation had been issued by Mr. Edward Sholton, Mayor
of the borough of Tynemouth, giving notice that any
persons attending the lectures delivered by Mr. Murphy
at North Shields, o❑ the stb, 6th, alai 7th inst., and who
shall pay money for admission to the place where such
lectures are to be delivered, are liable to a penalty of
£2O under the provisions of the Act 39 Geo. 3, cap. 79 a.
15; and, whether, in his opinion, the Mayor of Tyne-
mouth has, by issuing such a proclamation, exceeded his
authority.

Mr. BRUCE said he was aware such proclamation had
been issued, and he hoped the Mayor had not exceeded
his authority as he acted by his (Mr. Bruce's) authority
and under his direction. Murphy bad delivered lectures
in the North and his route had been marked with
disturbances and interruptions. He acknowledged that
the Act was very stringent and was only applicable
to extreme cases; be considered this to be an extreme
case, and when the Mayor heard that Murphy intended to
deliver a lecture at Tynemouth, he applied to the Home
Office, and by his (Mr. Bruce's) directions, the Mayor
issued the proclamation. (Hear, hear.)
MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY. BILL.
Mr. RUSSEL GURNEY moved the second reading of
this bill, and said that up to the present time the state of
the law was that the husband has absolute dominion
over the property of his wife, and absolute dominion
over all that the wife might ol.taiu by her own labour.
In the last census it was shown that Buo,ooo women were
earning wages, aid it was upon this large class that the
laws bore with great severity, and the rich certainly would
not have toler:,ted such a law for any length of time,
had they not bad their-remedy in the Com Is of Equity.
The learned gentleman referred to cases in which a wife
had been driven from her home by the brutality of her
husband, and when she had saved sufficient to start in
business her husband had come down upon the goods
and exercised his conjugal rights. There were no doubt
Several modes cf providing a partial remedy, but he
thought the only remedy was the remedy contained in
the MI-namely, that the wife should be allowed to
retain her own, with the same rights, and subject to
the same liabilities, as her husband. Ho asked the
Louse to assent to the second reading of the bill, and he
would then propose that the bill be referred to a select
committee in order that the Clauses might be more satis-
factorily examined. Such a bill was in force now in India
and Upper Canada. Ho thought his bill would alleviate
very great hardships and remedy an unjust law.

SUIC'IDE THROUGH GAMING

A suicide, occasioned by losses at the gambling table,
occurred on Friday last at Wiesbaden. M. Tranchant, a
French merchant from Lyons, had peen playing for
some weeks at Homburg, and had lost every franc he
possessed. The administration, according to their
custom in such cases, gave him forty-two francs on
condition that he should immediately leave the town. This
he did, and proceeded to Wiesbaden, where, finding himself
utterly penniless, he blew his brains out. "It must not be
imagined (says the Pal Mall Gazette) that the charity of the
managers is disinterested. Experience has taught them that
the occurrence of such an event at Homburg injures their
business by frightening many gamblers from the tables.
Popular superstition still points out a dead tree in the
park which is said never to have blossomed since a ruined
gamester hanged himself on it some years ago.'

LEVELLING UP.

The Quarterly Review has the courage of its con-
victions. It believes in a levelling up ecclesiastical
policy for Ireland, and it ventures to say so. It
affirms that allthegreatest.statesmen since the time of
Pitt have been in favour of endowing the Roman
Catholic Church ; but they are afraid to state their
convictions, and the Quarterly believes that there is
now no chance of this policy being adopted. The
Conservative Review attributes to the influence of
Mr. Bright and the Liberation Society the timidity
which has come over our leading politicians with
regard to this matter.

'THE DISPUTES IN THE BUILDING
TRADES AT MANCHESTER.

The number of stonemasons now unemployed in the
Manchester building trades, has been increased by the
discharge of a large number of bricklayers and
labourers employed at the Town Hall and on other
extensive contracts, consequent on the cessation
of work by the masons. Upwards of 450 men on the
Stonemasons' Union alone have been thrown idle by the
strike, and of this number about fifty left the city on
Monday in search of work in other towns. A number
of the men who have been anticipating the strike have
secured passages to America, and will leave England
in the course of a few days. No fo?mal communications
have passed between the, employers and the men
since the meeting on Friday night, but on Monday
several of the smaller employers, in addition to the
fourteen mentioned on Monday, conceded the proposal of
the men for a reduction of the hours, together with a
reduction of one shilling on the week's wage. In the
meantime work at nearly all the great public buildings in
ccurse of erection in Manchester has been entirely sus-
pended. The contracts which have been interfered with
in this way include the new Exchange, the Town Hall,
the City Police-courts, several churches or chapels, &c.

CAUTION TO CARMEN.—James Riches, a carman in the
employ of Mr. Cleaver, master carman, Of Cork-street,
Camberwell, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
cruelty to a horse by working it in.an unfit state.
Mr. P. Eckstein, a gentleman, residing at:No. 8, Argyle-
s'reet, Kensington, proved soein; two horses attached to a
van laden with three tons of rice, staryling in Oxendol-
street, yester.lay afternoon. One of the horses was
standing on three legs, it was also -broken-winded. aged,
and iu a very weak state, and it bore signs of ill usage.
. . _

Ho communicated that morning with the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Auiinik, and one of the
officers was present.

A coustal•le gave similar evidence, and said the pri
soncr was using a knotted whip.

George Young, au officer of the Royal society for the
Prevention of Cruelty t) Animals, said the horse was suf-
fering from permtnout lameness, an 1 only lit to bc killed.
The prisoner said t7ie horse hurt itself through slipping
in Fleet-street.

Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 40s. or a month, at the
same time informing him that he was liable to three

months' imprisonment without a fine for cruelty. If the
horse was worked again the owner had better be sum-
moned, and he hoped the society's offic_rs would keep a
watch on the other horse.
