such at Sevsstopol, one from South Carolina, and
the other from Rhode leland, as we infer from
the fact that bic letter is published in The Prori

the same cannot be said of the Eogsh.

The above law, lately enacted by the Msne
Legislature, is specimen OF bad kind of legs-
latioD. II is substantially an abdicatiOn of the
proper functions of the State in regard to a most
important subject; this is the right Of voting /.
is essential to the dignity and independence
of every State that che tball declare who
may exercise the right Of suffrage. 1t is
not becoming a sovereign political power to
throw aide and devolve upon a foreign Leg
isature this important DUTY. No State should
submit to have the qualifications of her Own
electors established by the Federal Government.
Yet this is just what Maine does by this law, so
far IS her emigrant population is concerned. the
Constitution of that State prescsibes that none
but "citiztLl" shall vote, ond the design OF the
law is to refer the question as t. who are "citi-
"ztns" TO the action of Congress-; and If that
body chooses to enact that none shall be such IN
less they have been in the country twenty. one
years, why the foreigner must rem ain in Maine that
length Of tiue before be can become voter. We
rai,e no question here touching the wisdom, or
the want Of IT, in extending the term of natural
izalion in Maine. That State is competent
to decide this question for itself. But That We
urge ia, that the State itself should do the thing
it desires TO have done in this matter. Let il
boldly claim and freely exercise it's right over
this whole subject. Let no State ruu chicken
like, under the wing of the Federal Government
in matter go vital to its dignity and iudepend-
tnce. 1t is especially Important in the present
aspect of political affairs that it should do this.
The time is coming and is not distant when the
rights Of the States will have to be defined more
clearly than they have yet been, and thus it be-
hoves them to be more jealous than ever of those
rights.

assured the Courts of London and Paris that 1t
was simply demonstration Of courtesy. Az the
Austrian Archduke is q personal friend OF the
new Emperor. it IL his mission to explain to
Alexander II the utter mpossibiiity Of Austria's
recedpg from the Western policy.
In Frankfort, the war Of protocols between
Austria and Prussia continues, being progressive
u embittered. Prussia maintains that the Ger
man Federal Army is 70 be directed as well to-
ward the West as toward Russis, and thst the
Confederscy ought in no way eventually to a'lo "
a passage through Germany to French armies on
their way to the frontiers Of Russia. Austria
says that there is only oue Danger sgain'f which
a front ia to be made, end thst Is to be expected
from the East As to the eventual passage OF the
French armies, Austria maintains tina. the dis
trust Of Prussia Is highly offensive to France

Prussia does Lot at all participate In the opening
of the yiennese Conference. Still 1t is not prob.
able If a defnitive peace ia to be concluded, that
Prussia will remain without the doors, and not

The German papers sueounce among other
tbirgs, that all the French correspondence from
Styasiopol is instantly submitted, on the steam
ers carrying the mail to Constsptinople, to
strict scrutiny so that nothing msy ooze out dis
tasteful to the French nation, or in any way ex-
posing the measures taken by the Emperor, who
thus in every respect, in the smallest details,
shows himself a suspicious and accomplished
depot.
An eucidation of the peaceful disposition of
Alexander II-so much tslked of a year since
can be found ia the fact that Of his last actions
ashereditary Grand Duke and partner in the power
Of bis father, was a suggestion that the infantry
drill embracing the discipline of companies and
battalioDs be forthwith taught in all the schools,
tymnasia and universities, as means of training
wellinformed officers for the army. OF course
an uk.se to this end was published, and the mill
tary instruction introduced. An innocent lamb,
after all may not be found within the skin of an
hereditary Grand Duke.

1t is rather curious that while the Madrid cor
respondents of the French and Belgian journals
substantially agree in the statement that the
Spanish Ministers declared in the Corteson March
g that they had dete rmined to abolish Slavery in
Cuba, the British journals limit that declaration
to the suppression Of the slave trade. This dis
creparcy at once suggests the suspicion that the
latter may have deemed it more prudent to with
hold from their readers on this side Of the ocean
all illusions to purpose go exciting, until the
final measure Of emancipation is ready to be con-
summated. Neither the French nor the Be- gisn
writer's on the other hand, have any motive for
Disgusting or perveitiDg the truth. They are i'm
partial witnesses, and as such naturally merit
greater degree Of confidence than those who,
Ike Gen. Consha. have constantly in view
the effect that words uttered in Madrid
may have on the progress Of events in this coun
try. A similar suspicion naturally rests on Span.
lh reports of this debate, prepared for Aueri-
can circulation. For instance, the Cronica, of
this City, gives the speech Of Mr.. Luzariaga at
greater length than We have seen ii elsewhere,
but with the came sense as the biiefsr accounts
Of the Il Noon journals. Acc riding to the Cron
lea. whofe report We translate in another col
ump, the Minister, instead of declaring against
tie maintenance Of Slavery in Cuba, declared in
its favor, and that with variety of arguments.
There is thus total contradiction between this
report Of the CrOnied, and that Of the continental
European journals. Our own private sdvices
'sree with the latter, sndrepresent Emancipation
in some modified and gradual form, as having
been agreed upon BY the Spani'h Government.
Still, we shall not deny that the decidedly differ.
ens aspect which the Croniea puts upon the AZ
fair has dinini,hed our confidence In the GER
tsinty Of so important measure. A short time,
however, will settle the question, and show
which Of there opposite reports is correct.

Tie result of to days election is net determined,
but the Know othings are probably ahead. Sew
erel serious rows have taken place during the after
neon, and it is reported that one American and two
or three Germans have been killed. In the melee
the ballot.bons were destroyed. Still farther dig
turbances are apprehended
SECOND DISPATCH.
A DR.. Brown was assaulted at the polls, in the
Eleventh Ward this afternoon by foreigners, and 50
severely beaten that he died in short tne. Tho
Nnow. NoihiDgs turned out en- mssse, and taking a
cannon from tie Dutch and Irish turned 1t upon them
and fired and afterward seized and broke up the
balot.boxes The number of killed during the melee
is not known. The tumut is very great and the
excitement intense. The Kno w-Nothings are march
ing in procession through the streets, with cannon,
and have ordered rendezvous in the Eleventh Ward
to night.
THIRD DISPATCH.
The Eleventh Ward contains large majority OF
Germans, and It having been charged that parties
were prevented from voting American tickets at the
polls ia that ward, large party Of Americans took
possession Of the ballot-boxes and destroyed the
tickets Several were wounded in the struggle which
ersued but no one was killed-Dr. Brown being yet
alive and likely to recover, although badly injured.
Tie Eleventh Ward is supposed to have given ma
i rty Of Elk or seven hundred for the Sag NICER
ticket, but tie vote cannot now be counted.
