suEERAeE.

Owing to the fact that this question is
assuming a very important shape, the fol-
lowing facts in regard to the privileges Of
the elective franchise, viii no doubt, in-
terest our readers
In Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Com
necticut, Pennsylvania, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia, all voters
must have a property qualification, and IN
Maine and New Hampshire paupers are
excluded.
The negro is not allowed to vote under
any circumstances in any of the States
which composed the Union In 1861, exr
cepting Eve. In only two States, Yer
mont and New Hampshire is a c0lored
person allowed to vote without a property
qualification. In New Hampshire there
we're, in 1860, one hundred and ninety
colored voters, and in Vermont only
eighty
In Massachusetts, every voter must
within two years, have paid State. or
county tax. unless excused from taxation.
In Rhode Island voter must own real
estate of one hundred and thirty four
dollars value, or of the clear yearly value
of seven dollars over any ground rent
A colored person is not allowed to vote
in New York unless he has resided in the
! State three years, and is a tree-holder m
value of two hundred and fifty dollars and
paid taxes thereon.

rHE PosTMAsrER GENERAL.

In the work of reeonstruction it is not
generally understood that the Postofice
Department is now engaged in discharging
a most responsible portion of the labor
necessary to the accomplishment of that
essential object of national prosperity
The effect of rebellion was first to cut of
the Southern from all communication
with the Northern people. This sarrest Of
intercourse, In the estimation of the rebel
chiefs, was necessary to the success of
their darling plans and it will be remem-
bered that years ago it was claimed as a
part of Southern rights, that no publica-
tions or even letters, having tendency to
impair the influence of the slave masters,
should be allowed to circulate in the mails
of the South The precipitation and
prosecution of the rebellion, of course,
aggravated the spirit Of intolerance, until
the Southern leaders had the satisfaction
of closing the communication by mail be-
tween the loyal North and the insurgent
South With the complete overthrow of
the rebellion, it now becomes the duty of
the Postmaster General TO restore the
mail service in all portions of the South,
and until this is accomplished the business
of reconstruction cannot be fairly consid-
cred as in the way Of successful realization.
Postmaster General Dennison appreciates
this fact and the President understands
it as well. By restoring the mail service,
the people of the South are brought back,
as it were, to an appreciation of the bene-
fits of the Union Northern, western and
eastern newspapers are once more circulat-
ed among the people of the South. In
the columns of such journals the insur-
gents read the evidence of loyal success,
and as they contemplate the ruin by which
they are surrounded in the South, (the
effect of treason they perusein the news
papers which the mails carry to them, the
truth not only of the power of the Gov
ernment which they outraged, but of the
people whom the slave masters sought to
destroy. The influence of thus restoring
the mail service to the South, as we have
already asserted, is beyond all calculation.
It will tend largely to the paeifeation Of
the South, and when Gov. Dennison has
succeeded in restoring to the deluded peo
pie of that section, those invaluable faeil--
tiles for the transaction of successful and
profitable business, which they, In their
madness and treason, threw away, we shall
once more be united and a happy people.
In view of these facts, the country cannot
place too high an estimate on the influence
of the mails in the labor of reconstruction,
while all good men must indulge in con-
gratulations that so good a man is at the
head of the Postofice Department.-HG1,-

srNILIrY POSTPONED.

The Xenia Torchlight of the 9th gives
the following:
Yesterday morning Rev. p @. Prugh
united in martimony Mr.. Benjamin Eylers
aged eighty five years, to Mrs, Anna Gray,
in her seventy fifth year. The happy con-
pie are both residents of this city. They
had made due and deliberate preparations
for beginning life" by procuring house
and furnishing it, some time before the
marriage ceremony occurred. At theap-
pointed hour, yesterday morning, the
bride and groom repaired to their new
home, summoned Mr.. Prugh, and there
bacame one, for better or for woTse.1---
They wisely concluded that they had no
time to waste on billing and cooing we'd
ding tour, and accordingly went straight
way to housekeeping.
Mr.. Eyler, although in his eighty-hfth
year. retains a wonderful amount Of mus
oular power. During the past year, ne
has chopped one hundred cords of wood,
split $50 rails, made q, $40 elapboards, and
rived 5000 cooper's staves- Nor is his
bride much inferior in vital activity -
Now seventy-fve years old, she Is still
active and vigorous-frequently walking
two or three miles in one day with little
fatigue It is also said that she rides on
horseback with singular gracefulness and
| ease. ~ ataa

If he did helpme out of the difficulty,
| replied, 1T would only be to get into
more narrow corner.
You don't know any such thing" said
the man, In different tone from any in
which he had yet spoken, when Mason
was the subject of our remarks.
Think, for moment upon the basis
of your prejudice, it lies mainly upon the
assertion of Laxton whom your own eX
perience has proven to be a scoundrel.-
The fact IS, your estimate of Mason's
character is entirely erroneous. Laxton
hates him, because he has circumvented
him more than a dozen times in his
schemes of iniquity, and viii circumvent
him again, if do not greatly err, provi-
ded you give him the opportunity Of do
ing so"
There was force in the view What
confidence was there to be placed in
Laxton's words? And if Mason had Cir
cumyented him, as was alleged, of course
there was a very good reason for detrac-
ton
AT what hour do you think 1 can see
him" said |.
Il believe he is usually in about twelve
4 viii see him, y said with emphasis
sDo SO" returned the man 'and may
your interview be as satisfactory as you
can desire.
At twelve precisely, I called upon Ma
son, not without many misgivings, l must
own. Ifound my prejudices still stronger;
as to the good results I could not help
feeling serious doubts On entering his
office, | found no one present but the IN

"My name is John Mason, said he

The man looked perfectly blank.

ADVERTISING.

A few years ago, man in Hartford
was keeping modest shoe store on State
street. and in the old-fashioned way
would probably have got along, and made
a fair living A day or two ago, one Of
the Hartford papers published list Of
real estate purchased within a few weeks
by this shoe dealer, the purchase money
amounting in the aggregate to over $S0,-
O00 We know from items of his previ-
GUS purchases, that he was already real
estate owner to large amount How has
he made this fortune? Advertising That
is the secret. He has advertised far and.
wide: advertised by tho column, and by
his own or borrowed brains, he made his
advertisements so readable, that often
they were the most meTitoriOus literary
productions in the paper. lie has kept
his name before the people, the people
have bought his goods, and he Is now q
wealthy man. We have similar exam
pie in different line of trade in this city.
A gentleman, who is still a young man,
came here with a few hundred dollars,
and opened store sixteen by eighteen
feet, but brought with him what was
more valuable thorough knowledge
of his business and Of the value Of adver-
tising. He now lives in one of the finest
houses In the city, owns largely In real es-
/ tate is sound, for we don't know how
many thousands, and is still enlarglng his
business and carrying 1t on with an ener-
/ gy and success which cannot fail to place
| him high on the roll of the income tax
| list. True, his advertising expenses for
the past yeat were some 5000, but no
one can visit his establishment without
seeing that it pays. -Neao HdUen Regls,

LIBBY PRISON.

Libby Prison was so named from L.
Libby q Son, Ship Chandlers, of Richmond,
va. who owned the building previous to
its being converted into a military prison
bv the Confederate authorities. The Cruz
elites inflicted on the unfortunate Union
soldiers confined there, have no parallel in
the history of civilized nations; and shall
forever remain a blot upon the page OF
historv-a dark stigma-against the rebel
leaders, whose cruelty was wreaked upon
the helpless prisoners whom the fortunes
of war had placed in their power.
An air of death-llke sadness now pervades
throughout its gloomy halls and sombrs shades.
csbast1v walls where rampant treason,
While her cruel rage was blind,
Held in bondage, for season,
All the human woes combined.
Cursed Libby!
Horrid Libby!
Home of cruelty refined.
Austrian Spielbergs have no terror,
French Bastiles were sportive halls;
All unknown to scenes of error
Witnessed in thy loathsome walls.
Wretched Libby!
Horrid Libby!
He'll itself thy name appalls!
oh. what scenes of mortal anguish
Here hath crushed the hearts of those
Doomed to suffer, pine and languish,
In this den of human woes.
Wretched Libbyl
Horrid Libby!
Scene of deaths appalling throes.
Here brave men were basely treated,
Starred, abused, i1sSttteCt, slain;
/ Crimes erst unheard of, were repeated,
Crimes that savages would stain
Horrid Libby! Dreadful Libby!
MAY we never know again
Scenes of suffering, such as ever,
Shall be coupled with thy name
