FORBES on PAPER CURRENCY. - We
have concluded to sit by and see the ex-
pertinent Of paper money for hard times.
Old Bramield. his name might have
been, was an in6del. He was accounted
a hard case. He had q son-a namesake,
and sole belr to his fine estate. Sammy's
mother taught him prayers and religious
ideas, which old Bran hooted at. Sammy
took smallpox. and was at Deaths door
with the fever. Old Bran was desper-
asely afraid Of death, and never went near
his son. But when. told Sammy was dy.
ing, his love overcame his fear. He went
to the open window, and looked in around
the jamb at his sick son : Sammy. they
tell me you are very bad of" pretty
sick, father" said the boy. feebly.
Sammy, they tell me you're going to
die; :" and the old mans voice was choked
with a sob. ~ guess I am. father
Well, (sobl Sammy, my boy, (sob] you

mother teaches [sob] you; II I ;wls' you
I'd say . few of them. If you get well IL
won't hurt you-and if you die, sob it
nigh, be a (sobl dam good things" and
the old man lodged away. moumfully.
That's where we stand In regard to this
experiment Of paper money for hard times.
We're not convinced, but the times are in
such a strait that it can't do any hurt,
and it might be a good thing. Let US
have a paper currency. just for luck. Just
for a change; as gamblers change a deck

Terrible Shooting. and Cutting Al.
fair.
SuIsuS (Cal.), Sept. "A terrible
shooting and cutting affair occurred at
Cordelia, Green Valley precinct, yester-
day morning, in which two men were
killed and two MORALLY wounded. The
circumstances, as near as can be had from
eye witnesses, are as follows: Some time
since, English and two sons, Charles and
Perry, were cutting wood on land claimed
by Perry Derbin, and the latter got out
an injunction and stopped them on &C.
count of which Charles English made COM
plant to military authorities of Benicia,
and caused the arrest Of Derbin, Ramsey,
Lamorce, Silly, and Others, for shouting
over the assassination of President Lin
coin. While at the polls yesterday morn
ing. English and Derbin were converting.
English gave the lie to Derbin, when
Charles English drew his revolver and
commenced firing, two of his shots taking
effect on Derbin, hitting him in the right
side and left breast, just above the nipple.
Derbin Immediately drew his revolver,
and Chas. English ran out Of doors, but
stumbled and fell, when Derbin drew his
knife and commenced cutting at his throat,
and cut his face and breast in about twenty
places, presenting a most horrible sight.
Perry English on seeing his brother in a
critical position, ran to his assistance !; but
just as he reached the %contending parties,
Frank Grady drew his revolver and shot
him just back and under the right ear,
killing him almost instantly. Grady
mounted his horse and left for parts An
known. The father then ran to the relief
Of his son Charles, when Derbin, thinking
he had his antagonist killed, turned upon
the old man, stabbing him II the breast
three times, making frightful wounds, of
which he died. Old man English and
Perry Derbin were brothers.in.law

Beading and writing QunlIaearion,

Beading and Writing Qualification.
Several influential papers on the Attain
tic side are urging q change in the National
Constitution so as to definitely determine
who are citizens Of the United States, and
also to make the right of suffrage depend
upon the ability to read and write. As
the advocates of these propositions have
reduced them to a technical form, and
published them to show the purport and
extent Of the amendment sought, we pro-
duce them as a part Of the history Of the
times, and as matter which may perhaps
hereafter be necessary to discuss. They
are as follows:
SEC. l. Every person born within the
territorial boundaries Of the United States
and every person born within any ter
ritorial boundary which is thereafter &C.
quired BY the United States, if such per-
son elects to remain in the United States
and every person whose father at the
time Of such persons birth was a citizen
Of the United States-and every person
who now is, or hereafter may be, natural
lied in the ann provided by law, Shall
be q citizen Of, and owe his primary allie
glance to, the United States.
SEC. 2. Every male citizen Of the Uni
ted States, Of the age Of twenty.one years,
who can read and write, born and residing
within any State. within or who has re-
sided in it the period required BY the laws
Of such State to enable the citizen Of
another State to vote therein, and who has
paid such capitation taxes, and complied
with such other provisions as the laws Of
that State unfortunately impose on all
electors, shall be an elector Of such State.
and shall exercise the right Of suffrage at
all elections held therein.
SIC. 8. No state shall impose any re-
ligious or property test or qualification
upon the right Of suffrage.
SEC. 4. No State shall grant the right
Of suffrage to any person who cannot read
and write; bu, this limitation shall not
extend to any person. who, at the time Of
the ratification Of this amendment, Is
voter in either Of the States. o TO any
white male citizen who at that time shall
be over eighteen years Of age.
