THE 81 1000 PROPERTY QUALIFICATION.

ENIE charge that Mr. Lenox has favored the proper
ty qualification of 81 900 for the Mayoraly, is false.
Mr. Lenox is well known to his former associates in the
City Councils, in 1S423 before the convention met advo-
Gated the extension Of the right of suffrage and freely
his opinions upon this point before he elected to
the convention In the proceedings Of the Board Of Common
Council January sth lSl4 Mr. L. moved to instruct the
committee before Congress upon Congress the adop
ton Of the charter reported the Board of Common Coun
c 18th January, 1872 This charter has TIC quafca-
for Mayor that the present charter has, and other
copy left upon the counter of the Telegraph office for in
spection.
The following is true and exact extract from the min
utes of the convention of delegates March 20th 1884,
Mr Byingon moved to strike out in the 9Th line, the
words one thousand, and insert $500. The amendment
rejected
MIR. Coltman moved to strike out all after the word
city in the 9th line, to the word Office in the 7th line Re-
jected"
This amendment embraced the striking out the 81 600
The ayes and not called either of the PROPOSE
uone
Mr.. Lenox's before the convention met was too
we'll known to justify the suspicion that he favored such
qualification

New Jersey Is ali Right.

The Wing State Committee met at Trenton, on
Thursday. John 7. Nixon, of Cumberland was
elected President.
We find our account Of its proceedings IN the
Trenton True American, Democratic paper. 1t
says that "when the Fillmore men attempted to
applaud trfng success, they were Instantly
choked off and Kissed down by the Scottites. /"
This was ugly behaviour in the majority.
Messrs. Dayton and King were elected Senate
rial delegates, and Messrs Browning and Duer,
their alternates.
The other delegates are as follows:
LIST. 7. II. Whitney, delegate; T. II. Dudley
alternate.
I'd. P. Vredenburgh, delegate: R. G. Belville,
alternate.
Sd. J. Stuart, delegate; J. Vandyke, alter
nate.
4th, w. N. Wood, delegate; J. J. Brown, alter
nate.
9th. 7. T. Frelnghuysen, delegate; J. NJ.
| Quimby, alternate.
| Resolutions were adopted by reclamation in
favor of protection, internal improvements, econ
omy, accountability in public disbursements
that the Wings hare never and ,vW never falter in
levotion to the federal constitution and obedience
to the laws; that they will support the nominee
Of the Wing National Convention; expressing
appreciation Of the present administration, ano
the course of Wing representatives, confidence il
their wisdom, and commentator of theil
fidelity and patriotism sympathizing with the
Wings of the Union in their profound grief at the
declining health of HENRY CLAY, &c.
! Our Democratic authority says:
Mr. j. G. King declared himself in favor OF
the candidate who could command success; he
avowed himself therefore in favor of General
Scott
!" At this there was great shout on one hand,
and scowling grum silence on the other. The
Fillmore men were evidently under cow but
looked daggers. He then passed accomplishment
upon Webster, and said that he lacked nothing
but popularity, and intmated that if he could get
0otes enough he could get elected, He passed
over Mr. Fillmore in rapid, non-committal
manner, and wound up by giving brief history
of Gen. Scott"
Mr.. Frelinghuysen was called for, and made a
speech very much in the same vein.

Bright Prospects In Massachusetts.

We learn from the North Adams Transcript
that on Tuesday the Hon. H. l.. Dawes, of that
village, was chosen delegate to the Wing Ma
tonal Convention at Baltimore on the 10Th inst,
and the Hon. Charles H. Plunkett, of Hnsdae,
substitute; and that it is understood that Mr..
Dawes is Scott man. AT the meeting by which
he was selected it was resolved that Z" the Wings
of district No. take this occasion to proclaim
anew their mistaken confidence in the principles
of their party, and their undated zeal in the
great work of Incorporating them into the per-
manent policy of the nation - that ''those prin-
cples are as broad as the foundations Of the re-
public and as comprehensive as the flag that
floats over it; on them the Union was built, and
with their extinction only will it perish We can
spare from them no single element-we can admit
no new test--we want neither elimination nor
Interpolation J" that 1T is for the mainte-
nance of these principles that we, in common
with the great Wing party of the nation, are con-
tending, and to that end we are ready to make
all reasonable concessions of personal prefer
ences, and ask of the Baltimore Convention only
that our standard bearer be true exponent of
the great and noble principles of our organiza-
ton. Such a one, whoever he may be, shall
receive our united ..tireess support" and that
''assembed as we are for the last time in conven-
ton of the Wings of district No. Z, we look back
with pride and satisfaction upon many hard
fought field and glorious victory; and as we ex-
tend the hand of fellowship to new associates, we
beg leave to remind them that no one but Wing
ever represented the Berkshire district in Con-
gress, and that neither the prosperity nor the
honor of the district viii justify change"
Mr.. Dawes, being calling for, addressed the
convention in brief and eloquent remarks, in
which he stated that his preferences were well
known, but expressed his willingness to make
any sacifce, if need be, of personal preference,
for the good of the great Wing party of the ma
ton.
