SUFFRAGE TO ALIENs.-The following prop
osition Of amendment to the constitution of
Rhode Island was submitted to the electors of
that state, Monday, ana rejected by very
large majority:
''Aliens, residents of this state, who have
enlisted or volunteered, or who may enlist or
volunteer, in any Of the regiments of this
state, and who shall be honorabiy discharged
theretrom, and who are now, or may become
naturalized citizens of the United States, shall
be admitted 10 vote at all elections in this
state, on the same term as native born citi-
zens Of this state
The Providence journal says the result is
owing. in great degree, to the doubtful con-
struction of the amendment, and to a decided
feeling on the question of foreign suffrage
which the New York riots had temporarily
strengthened. The amendment required
three-tifths of the vote cast, but received
scarcely two-ftths, though the entire vote was
comparatively small.

MEETING OF THE School BoARD.-At =
meeting of the school committee last evening,
Rev. j. ID. E. Jones, the present faithful and
Jealous incumbent, was unanimously re elect
ed to the Office of superintendent of the pub
lie schools of this city for the ensuing year.
A motion empowering the superintendent and
the committee on Mr.. Hunts school to give
some temporary relief to that teacher, who is
in i'll health and overworked in a crowded
school, which was adopted, caused the
members of the board to earnestly discuss the
great and increasing evil resulting from our
over crowded school houses. An order was
adopted recommending the committee on
school houses, with the consent of the build
ing committee, to apply RObinson's ventilating
apparatus to the new school house in East
Worcester. An order was also adopted d.
recting the superintendent to send no more
scholars to the new school houses or rooms
hereafter hired for school purposes, than
there are seats in said school houses or rooms.

The vote in Rhode Island on the 9TH inst,
on the proposed amendment of the constitu-
ton to allow discharged alien soldiers, who
may become naturalized citizens, to vote at
all elections on the same terms as native born
citizens, resulted in rejecting the amendment
by large majority. The Providence Jour
nal contends that the result was due in great
measure to the injudicious wording of the
amendment.
1t is said that nephew of President Lin
coin was one of the rejected candidates for
admission to the naval academy.

asking them to tell falsehoods in reporting
to him. He politely limited to them that,
having caused about enough trouble, crime
aad treason to laws and country, they had
better leave or in case Of neglect to leave

Elder Clack thought he noticed signs
among the more intellectual Irishmen
showing that they entertained hitter and
unchanging contempt for the Yankee lead
ers that had betrayed them. They also
spoke in terms full Of meaning concerning
the Benton leaders who led them into
| these troubles, but were the first ones to
run away on the arrival of the military.
He also thinks the Priests are men we'll
enough, that at heart they are loyal and
that they would vastly improve the NOR
ais Of the Irish people but for the infa-
nous rule Of these Yankee demagogues
who, besides being disloyal, never exhibit
moral example nor deaf wholesome
precept in word or deed, while thei
very persons and breath are polluted anC
language IS infamous as can be invented
The Priests say openly, sfthese American
demagogues have more influence over the
Irish people than We have, and theif infiu
ence is always the worst, neyer the best fol

A Charleston letter of tbs 3lst says: The
last day Of July passes away with every
thing promising success, though perhaps
not as soon as some may wish. All things
are working well. We know that great
anxiety is felt in Charleston fol the safety
of the city.
Last week there was hanging from the
parapet Of Fort Sunpter, as protection to
the walls, lines Of cotton bales. 1t told us
plainly that our 15-inch shot were equal to
its destruction. But the cotton bales are
now gone. Set on fire,as they were by their
own guns, they were obliged to take them
down, and are now piled in scorched heaps
behind the fort.
Everything betokens fearfulness on the
part of The rebels here, which is very en-
couraging to US.
