NEGRO EQUALIrY IN Connecticut
Womau's Rights The House Of
Representatives in Connecticut, by a
vote. of 1l2 to "a, has passed a bill
amending tae State constitution SO as to
allow negroes to vote. Every Black
Republican voted for it, and every Dem
ocrat against it. The same party voted
down a proposition to allow a white wo-
men to vote, by a majority of 1877 to 81
They considered the free negro better
and a more fit object to exercise the
right of suffrage than their own moth
ers, wives and daughters. Tho same
committee that reported the negro suf-
frage bill have proposed another amend
ment to the constitution, which requires
foreigners to remain in the State OF
Connecticut twenty-one years before
they are allowed to vote. Under the
operation of these laws, an ignorant and
filthy negro slave, just escaped from a
Southern plantation, will vote mmedI-
ately in Connecticut; but the most IL
telligent European, although he may
have been a college professor in Munl'h
or Berlin, will be compelled to wait
twenty.on years. The white foreigne
is prescribed, while the negro is patted,
carressed and allowed to become a citl-
zen at ouce. What is more Astonishing,
this discrimination in favor of the negro
appears to have the appreciation of a
large majority of foreign born citizens.
who always vote with that party that
place upon the class to which they be-
long the inferiority to the negro. Pro,
vided he is elevated, they care nothing
apparently, how much they are degraded
and disgraced.
This action in Connecticut and other
New England States, by Back Repub'
lican legislators, affords the most con
elusive proof of the truth of the char
ges of the Democracy-that the RePub
licaps are in favor of absolute negro
equality Rith the white, politically an'
socially and that it is, in fact, the on
" distinctive feature in the party
Hereafter. no man who has any regar'
for truth will venture to deny it.-Cm

DIED,


On Saturday. the 24th inst, Miss MAhiAH
CATHARINE, daughter of JOHN and NAB.
eARET PIsEL, aged l6 years, + msnths and 20
days.
UHer remains were deposited in the new
Cemetery on Sabbath afternoon. MARIAH was
a good girl. Like Mary of Scripture, she was
early impressed with q desire to learn the way
to Heaven, her chief delight in the Sabbath
School was to memorise the word of God
But MARIAN is gone: her seat in the Sabbath
School on earth is vacant; and while her
fond teacher and class mates may deeply
mourn her loss, they must only look by faith
to the Sabbath School triumphant, and there
hear MARIAN sing the sweet anthem" OF the
redeemed.
From the very large ~concourse:. of people
that followed her mortal remains to their last
resting place, it was evident that she was
beloved by her associates, esteemed by her
acquaintance, and respected by>all.
Her disembodied spirit still whispers from
Heaven,
prepare for death and follow me-"
An appropriate and sympathetic discourse
was delivered to q crowded auditory, by the
Rev. s. McReynolds,, Pastor of the Lutheran
Church from the words of Christ, Set thine
house in order for thou shalt die, and not
live" Isaiah-xxxuI 1. ID.

AN APPROPRIATE REoEPTIoN.-On
the ed of July the Republicans of Ash
tabula, Lake and Geauga Counties gave
a public reception to Senator Wade and
Joshua Il. -Giddings. They formed a
procession which, to use the language of
tie Ashtabula Seminal, the Republican
organ, "was headed by twelve beautiful
negro girls, each bearing a banner rep
reseuting the twelve States that are
true to freedom" who, also, with their
flags, occupied the stand. This was
every way an appropriate reception
Giddipgs and Wade, in their Congress
ional action, made the interests of the
negro paramount to those of the white
people, and it was proper that In the
procession welcoming them negroes
should take the lead OF the whites !
We do not CONSIDER, in fact, that Gid
diugs and Wade are in any sense the
representatives of the white people OF
Ohio, but solely labor for the interests
and carry out the views of the c~olored
population. By the by, their flag should
have had but eleven stars on it Instead
of twelve, that being the number Of
States that voted for FremontGCin
