Indians Examining The '',Swif Wagons"
A correspondent. who has recently crossed
from the Pacific on the overland route, says:
The Iudians of the Cherokee nation are very
anxious to have the route through their
territory. They call the mail coach the
''swift wagon" A deputaton from the heads
of the nation have waited Rpon the "Great
Chief, Butterield of the swift wagon" as
they call him. and asked him TO run the
wagons through their country. They are
rich, and great Shareholders, owning more
niggers than their neighbors In Arkansas
Their country is beautiful one. They are
jealous of the whites, fearing-it is probable
that they win be driven from their homes.
The Camaches and interior Indians look
upon the ''swift wagon" with greatcuriosity
and wonder. They have shown no malice
or ill-will as yet. Some six hundred of them
lately stopped the mail coach aud surrounded
it. They wished to see the swift wagon
aud what was in it" They detained it five
or six hours, until they had inspected it
looked under the seats-turned over the
mail bags-felt of them-looked at the wheels

many an ''ugh was grunted with satisfaction,
but, "ugh !" no roigroad-no railroad" and
all gruuted a hearty ugh - of appreciation

Prescription In Massachusetts,.

The voters of Massachusetts, adopted, on
Monday last, the proposed amendment to the
Constitution of the State, which was submit
ted by the Legislature in the following words:
..No person of foreign birth shall be enti-
tied to vote, or shall be eligible to office, un-
less he shall have resided within the jurs6ic-
ton of the United States for two years sub
seouent to his naturalization, and shall be
otherwise qualified according to the Constitu-
ton and Laws of the Commonwealth Pro
vided, That this amendment shall not affect
the rights which any person of foreign birth
possessed at the time of the adoption thereof ::
IProvas7ed further, That it shall not affect the
rights of any child of citizen of the United
States born during the temporary absence of
the parent thereof"
The amendment has been carried by over
six thousand majority. Massachusetts, is a
Republican State, and this is Republican
vote Notwithstanding the earnest remon-
strances of the German Republicans of the
North western States, and the fears of the
New York Tribune that the adoption OF the
amendment would drive off this class of vo-
ters, aud possibly affect the Presidential cleo
ton, Republican Massachusetts has not been
deferred from giving expression to Its hatred
towards citizens of foreign birth, by engraft-
ing upon her Constitution an odiou6 and pro-
scriptive feature, unknown TO other States of
the Union. By this amendment foreigner
may be citizen of the United States, quail
fed to vote and hold office, and yet be exclu-
ded from the same privileges in liberty-loy
ing Massachusetts, That State exhausts all
its liberality upon the negro, who is allowed
to vote, when the citizen of foreign birth is
excluded -PotriOt d; Union

French Navy is now supposed to be as eff
cent as that of Great Britain. 1t received
its stimulus from Louis Napoleon, in the
grand display of the British Napier fleet off
Cronstadt, five years ago, consisting of 15
ships of the line, II heavy frigates. and 43
screw steamers. France now actually out
numbers England-the one havigg forty-six
while the other has but thirty four with nine
block ships. In steam line-of- battle ships
France is well nigh up to England, she hav
ing forty, with four iron-sided ships-while
England has fifty. In corvettes and gun
boats and other small steam craft, England
has still preponderance, but these are COM
paratlycly of E.tle account IN the great op-
erations of naval warfare. But the Emperor

last Report of the Minister of Marine, it is
designed to raise the French steam navy to
$50 vessels-of-war of various classes. built

power, in addition to y steam transports

No MORE NEGRO VoTING IN OH1o.-The
Legislature of Ohio lately passed bill pro-
hibiting any one having negro blood in his
veins from voting. The bill was introduced
by Mr.. VIM. I'll. Stafford, formerly of this
place, and the vote upon it was strictly upon
party lines, every Democrat voting for the
bill. and every Republican against it, When
Mr. Stafford left here, he was Wing; but
after living in Ohio for time, he found, as
every person does, that tae Democracy was
the only national party, and he now acts with
us. And yet Americans and Wings even
here in Virginia advocate coalition with
Black Republicans to defeat the Democracy.

then. We regard them as low demagogues, and
if possessed of the intellect of Junius, we would
preserve the perishable infamy of their names,
and make them immortal.
Our neighbor last fall and winter denounced
as traitors the men who opposed portion of the
County ticket last October. He is now the apol-
ogist and defender of the men who held bogu.;
Convention at Harrisburg on the 18th of April,
and repudiated the Democratic State ticket and
the platform adopted by the State Convention.
Where is his consistency? According to his
logic, that which was treason last fall is perfect
ly right nowl ''If this be consistency make the
most Of it,"
For the purpose of bringing the matter to an
issue, we will endeavor to come back to the
point from, which we first started. Our neighbor
has asserted that the appointment of Quigge
was procured through the influence of Senator
Bigler. This we wish him to prove. He has
asserted that, in procuring this appointment,
Senator Bigler was actuated by pecuniary mo-
tives. We ask him to prove this. He has as
serted that we are not our own master, and that
we are controlled by ''outsiders." This also he
will please prove. Last fail he denounced as
traitors the men who opposed portion of the
county ticket. Now he is the apologist of the
men who are opposing the State ticket We
wish him to say whether in this matter he has
pursued straightforward and consistent course
Is he. or is be not, the political friend of John
W. Forney. A satisfactory answer will be more
interesting to the readers of the Nontaiaeer than

itor of the Democrat 8. Sentinel.
