RIGHTS OF SUFFRAGE.-The measure in
augurated by Mr.. Gregory, Representative
from Ohio county, to amend the Constitu-
ton SO that no other than citizens, native or
naturalized, shall be allowed to exercise the
elective franchise, is in fair way to go
through the House. The bill aforesaid was
followed by bill of similar character, in
troduced by Mr.. Kempf German born) who
made short speech on the occasion, taking
strong ground in favor of the amendment of
the Constitution. He regarded the present
provision, allowing aliens to vote in a year
after coming into the country, as palpably
unjust to the native population, and as a
matter of justice advocated the reform. 1t
is well known that Mr. Mansfield, the gen.
tlemanly representative from Jefferson for
eign born), is with Messrs. Gregory and
Kempfin sentiment on this subject. sy
Thus, singular as it may seem, while Mr.
Gregory is given the cold shoulder by our
native politicians, he is aided in his. patri-
otto purpose by those two liberal and fair
minded foreign-born gentlemen, one Dem
ocrat, the other Republican and will re-
ceiye sufficient help from them. Their
action is a severe rebuke to demagogism.-
They do what they believe to be right

ME~A bank to make advances on produce
is proposed in the city of New York. The
plan is to employ the whole capital in max
ing short loans on warehouse receipts Of
produce in store such as cotton, sugar,
-four beef, pork, domestic goods, and other
staple articles. By charging interest and a
small commission for advancing, the invest
ment can be~made very profitable. The
securities would be the most desirable and
safe that could be had for short loans, for
they would be convertible at any moment
in case of a failure to pay when the advances
were due. Such banks would afford great
facilities to trade if established at every
large commercial point. = % i.'i'f'4'

Since the above was in type, we have
been shown a letter from Mr.. Ball, engi-

the lower division, directing him to with
draw all his force and avoid every expense,
except such as may be necessary to prevent
serious damage to the work. One man is
to be kept at Patoka to pass over the line
every day from there to Hosmer, or from
Patoka to Keys Creek embankment An
other is to be stationed at Port Gibson to
attend to the Locks and reservoir, and to
pass over as much of the canal as he can.

CRINOLlNE.

As regards the mere volume and cir
cumference of hoops and. crinoline,
the ladies Of London aid Paris are
compared with those Of New York;
as butterflies with. canary birds. The
caricatures of the crinoline mania
which the world owes to it's excellent
friend Punch. if exaggerations of En-
glish fashions, are not at all exaggera:.
lions Of those Of New York 3; and to
get along Broadway where there is
taci,ly understood and acknowledged
law of pavement as in England, and
where every one takes the wall, as IL
plcases him or her, it is no easy mat,
ter, even without these abominable
hoops, for an Englishman accustomed
to have the wall at his right hand to
make any progress, unless BY series
of most provoking zigzags; but, hus-
tied about by cri:olines, the best thing
for gallant man who is in hurry is'
to step off the pavement into the road:
Nor have the fair ladies all the hoops
to themselves. The dark ladies share
with them the passion or the sentiment
Of the monstrosity, and initiate their
garments to the most ridiculous cx-
tent. Little negro girls Of fourteen or
fifteen years of age, with bright color
ed parasols, bright cotton and silk
dresses of a width surprising any Gre
dence but that of the eyes Of the be-
holder, flounced awkwardly to and
fro and aged negressess, equally splen-
did and equally rotund, waddle like
hippopotami among their Anglo Saxon.
aud Celtic fellow creatures. There
is not only craze for crinoline here,
but crinoline itself is crazy---huge, nm
wieldy, preposterous.
