THE ADVOCATE.
CHARLOTTESVILLE. FRIDAY APRIL o, 1890.

As matter of the first interest TO the peo
pie of this State lay before our readers
returns of all the votes which have reached
us IN the adoption of the amended constitution.
None have as yet reached us from any county
beyond the Allegheny. The returns from
buckingham, gives gratifying specimen of
what may be expected from the Valley Counties
considering to how many persons the right
OF suffrage is extended under the new constitu-
ton, we are surprised to see the thiness Of the
polls on the question of its adoption. Ii is de-
sireable that the vote should he as full as posi-
bile, in Older that the adoption of tho constitution
should be placed beyond all doubt Our own oh.
servaiion on Monday last satisfies us that there
are many who arc not appraised of the provisions
which entitle them to vote. The law requires
ehe polls to be opened at May court in the sever
al counties, as well at The places for holding
elections in the several precincts, where, as in
this County there are separate precincts, MS at
The court Houses. In order that all may be ap-
prised of their rights in this matter, we have
made out the following short summary of those
qualified to vote on the adoption or Ieiecti OH
r"f the new Constitution which we shall con-
tinue to insert until the elections are over
In the first place then, all those who were en-
titled TO vote under the present Constitution
= Every citizen who is possessed, or whose
tenant for life or at sufferance is possessed of
freehold in land of the value of S25.
g. Every tenant in common, joint tenant or
parcenor of share in freehold estate in land
uf the value of Ss25.
q. Every reversioncr or vested remainder ma n
in fee eXPectant on an estate for life in land OF
the value of $50
.. All who are in occupation of leasehold
for teIm of years, worth an annual rent OF
$40
q. Every house keeper and head of family
who paysa revenue tax.

CONSTITUTIONAL POLL.
#One precinct has not been heard from.
To the Editors of the Advocate

few days, since several young gentle.
men students of the University in our
vicinity; conceived the design of estab-
Using "a Temperance Society. A paper
TO tiis effect was Immediately drawn Up,
signed by themselves; and put in circuia-
NIoh among their fellow students. The
fesnlt is, that society respectable for the
number of is members composed ex-
c'nslvely OF Students IF The University OF
Virginia and having for its object the
suppression OF lntemperance, is new in
existence. To the friends of this In
'tItuiion, at distance, this may perhaps
prove gratifying Intelligence. AS for
those who base had an opportunity oil
personally observing the general depor,-
ment Oft the students Of the present SEES
SION, they require no such evidence OF
Hher Temperance and SJbriety. . or thi.
they have had practical demonstration.

mysterious affair is reported to have occurr-
cd ON board the steamboat President, on her pas
sage from this city to Providence, on Wednes.
day morning last young sailor discovered a
roll OF Bank notes on the deck near the Can.
tain's office, which he reported tn the ships com
pany, and offered to surrender it TO the owner,
If the property should be identified. The bell
man proclaimed the circumstance to every in.
dividual on board, but no one came forward to
claim the money. The lad then contended, that
in the absence of the rightful owner, it belong
ed to him: but some wiseacres among The pas
sengers insisted that it should be given up to
the captain, and that in the event of its not be.
ing called for it should go to the benefit of the
Stockholders of the Steam Ship Company
Not satisfied with having the worst of the argu.
ment they next proceeded to personal abuse and
vituperation. In paroxysm of anger and indir.
nation at the unworthy aspersons made upon
him, the lad threw the money upon the deck
from whence it was again picked UP ard given
to Capt. Bunker. The paper giving the account
observes" 1t is due TO Capt. Bunker, to saw.
that he treated the lad with everv kindness, and
was evidently not disposed 10 give him unne-
eessary pain or any uneasincss. The money
remains in tho hands of Captain Bunker, and il
no one should call for t-and tins by no means
probable that it ever will be demanded-it will
ut proper time. be delivered to the lad who. il
was evident, was very anxious that it should be
given to lis legal owner."-[N. Y. Morn. Her.
