my reasons for II after II has been read
Mr. MARsHALLs amendment was reported as follows:
Provided That any alien being naiuraized between De-
cember and the day OF election year. shall be entitled
TO vote at the next succeeding election only on the same
citizens who arrive at the age OF years be-
tween December and the day Of election In the same year
Mr.. COBB Now, sir upon It's face that amendment ap-
pears oil right and s injustice IL only and known
when you come TO look at IL in connection with the law
IL now standsthe construction put upon which was 30
much complained Of BY the gentleman from Maryland,
lMr. DAVIS
Under the existing laws no one has right to vote un
less he be citizen has arrived the age of
years and In addition that has paid his school tax No
Is required to pay his school tax unless his name is
placed upon the register prior to the 3st of December
And when that register is made up on the 3st of Dece-
her, the question then asceraned who shall vote nj the
years after the 3t Of December IL not put upon the
register because he not subject TO the school tar
therefore his NAME while he yet minor was not
placed upon the register and he Is not eligible TO vote at
the next election because Of bis failure owing to his mi
nority, TO pay his school tax.
II has been construed by the courts and your city
Gil have acted upon the construction, that unnat-
uralized citizen citizen within the meaning of this law
SO that be Is registered and required TO pay the school
That 10 the reason why the naturazed citizen, who Is
naturazed between the 3ls Of December and the day
election Is entitled to vote while the natveborn citizen
who at the same time arrives at the age Of wentyone il
mott because law they have made that right TO depend
am understood by the House. -. +, + A
Now what does the gentleman from Kentucky propose
TO do by his amendment He proposes to exclude the
naturazed citizen who has been natnrazed since the sst
Of December and before the election from the right TO
vote because the naveborn citizen who arrives nd the
age Of wenyone years s also excluded but with this dis
elimination that the native Is not made TO pay tar while
the naturazed citizen Is registered and made 70 nav
school tax That Is bis amendment II Is that you shall

SINGULAR ASTRONOMICAL PREDICTION ABOUT TO
BE VER1FlEp.--A new work, by an American
author, appeared recently under the title OF
ssThe New Theory Of the Creation and Deluge.'
Among other startling predictions contained in
that book, it is stated that &C it is probable the
rings which surround Saturn are composed Of
water, snow or ice, which, at some future time
may descend and deluge that planet, as ours
was deluged in the days of the patriarch Noah y
1t now appears that this event is likely to take
place little sooner than was anticipated, for
Sir David Brewster says:
aMr. Otto Struve and Mr. Bond have lately
studied with the great Munich telescope, at the
| Observatory of Pulkoway, the third ring OF
| Saturn, which Mr. Lassels and Mr.. Bond dis
covered to be fluid. These astronomers are OF
opinion that this fluid ring is not of very recent
formation, and that it is not subject to rapid
change; and they have come to the extraor
| binary conclusion that the inner border Of tht
| ring has since the time of Huygens, been gradu
ally approaching to the body of Saturn, an
that We may expect, sooner or later, perhaps IL
some dozen of years, to see the rings unite
with the body Of the planet"
Of course, in thus introducing analogy be
tween the operations Of nature in that plane
and our own, it is inferred that the earth, prs
. vious to the deluge, had rings like those
Saturn, and wore them in the same manner.

Prize fighting has not been stopped in Eng

match in our files by the last steamer:
A prize fight which took place on Tuesday
has resulted in the death Of one Of the combat
ants The fight took place on the Kentish
Marshes, in Long Reach, in presence Of not less
than 5000 spectators, the contestants being
Mike Madden and John Jones, for e100 side.
They are both what are called light weights,
| being limited to lost lib. Jones had previous
| ly fought Madden and was beaten, but having
! again fought several battles with success, he
was again matched with Madden, At the COM
rnencement Of the fight, Jones was the faVorite
| at s to 4, which we're taken to . heavy amount.
AT out-fghting Jones had the best Of the con-
test, and many were of opinion that he would
be the winner; but these expectations were not
realized, for in the 23d and last round, Madden,
as he had done once before, got home with his
right tremendous hit on the head, which felled
Jones to the ground, where he remained insen"
sible and was unable to rise; he was picked up
by his seconds and conveyed by his friends to a
tavern, where it was found he was in danger

he expired at half-past six.
