Impartial Suffrage.
From the Chicago Times, Nov. rs

From the Chicago Times, Nov. Is.
After the first efeots OF surprise shall have
passed away, we shall see marked change
in the position not only of democrats, but Of
democratic organizations and democratic
newspapers, with reference to the policy re-
Gently broaohed by the Chicago Times. The
Army and Navy Onion, Of Washington
wheels into line by the adoption of the follow
ing:
WHEREAS, The recent elections in the northern
and western states have indicated determination
on thes part of majority of the people to accept
nothing less than negro suffrage condition pre-
cedent to the restoration of the southern states to
franchise relations with the general government:
therefore be it
cation, It is clearly the duty of the conservative
press throughout the country appeal to the north
and southern states to extend suffrage to the ne
gro on such qualified basis as may be deemed prop
and just
ReSdtred, That taxation and representation should
go hand IN hand and, if the enfranchisement of the
negro will accomplish the triumph of that great
principle and secure to q reunited aed peaceful
Union, we viii give the measure most cordial
support
Resotced, That, while recognize the progress
slve spirit Of the age, and would pursue liberal and
conservative of action in all things earn
esty hope the states yet to act will reject the pro-
posed constitutional amendment by such decided
vote will show its originators that there be no
prescribed classes in the land Of freedom.
This organization is composed exclusively
OF men who have fought for the Union. Their
testimony is of great value as to the correct
ness of the present position of the Times.

To the Unemployed.

From the Chicago Times, Nov. %.
1t is somewhat singular fact that SO soon
as people in the country find business dull
they inoontinently rush into the great bust
ness centres. At the present moment New
York is svsrfowing with mon In search of
employment. Washington kilograms say
that there are 10000 people in Washington
out of employment and not likely to get any.
About the same state of things that prevails
in New York and Washington is in operation
in Chicago The "wants" column of the
newspapers overflow with the demands of the
unemployed. There are men at every hotel,
saloon and lounging place in Chicago, who
are idle and anxiously waiting for something
to turn up.
The very time to keep away from the city
is when it ia dull in the country. The CITY
depends upon the country, and dullness in
the letter is sure to produce the same result
IN the former. IF q person can find nothing
to do, he had much better Hemain In the
country. A city, even ct the best, is an ex.
pensive place in which to live. III one has a
little means they will go much farther in the
country than in the city; it is therefore coon.
omy to avoid the latter,
The indications are that the approaching
winter will be a severe one. Gold is declin.
ing; stocks are deprsoiating and labor shares
the consequent duliness and uncertainty
There are half dozen applicants to every
one vacancy. Let, therefore, the unemployed
avoid large places for the present.

An exchange says that about q month age
party of young men hired a sleeping sar in
Philadelphia, which they stored with all the
Injuries and necessaries desired for a buffa,

Fort Riley. Two miles from Fort Riley the
party hired smbulanoes, which conveyed
them between two and three hundred miles
distant, where herds of buffalo were grazing.
Having killed five six of the huge ami
mails, and enjoyed themselves to their hearts
content, the party returned, having been
gone about three weeks, and having travell-

The State. Penitentiary.

From the Springfield Ill.) Register, Nov. 20.
From friend we gather the following in
terssting statistics in relation to the peniten-
tiary of Illinois At present there are l ,008
male and ~ female adults inoaroerated in
this institution, showing an increase of 400
over last year. Nearly every convict of both
sexes ehews tobacco, which is given them
every Sunday morning, in pieces about four
inches square, and which costs the lessees an
nually St, 600. Every cell in-the building is
now occupied. and the want of room is so
pressing that 500 new cells had to be oon-
structed, and are now nearly completed.
Crime, from these figures, seems to be on
the increase, and it occurs to us that Illinois,
notwithstanding the $4,000 majority for the
radical ticket, presents an extensive field for
missionary labors. Under tthe present popu-
lar management, the health land conduct of
the inmates is very good, and the general
management of the state prison satisfactory

1t may be remembered that some Eve or six
months ago several persons in Jones county,
Iowa, fell victims of triohiniosis or the ''pork
disease" Some of the party recovered, but last
week another of the supposed convalescents had
d relapse and died. Those who were attacked
by the terrible disease had eaten slices of raw
ham, while those who ate from the same trichi-
nous meat after it was cooked were none of them
attacked by the parasites. 1t lie not agreeable to
think that in eating pork may be feeding
upon q literal diet Of worms, but it is well to
know that all danger of serious results, in case
the meat should be infested with trichinae, is
obviated by properly preparing it for use. A
physician who has devoted much attention to
the subject assures us that the presence of these
parasites in pork is e1ceedidg ly rare.

A GOOD RADIANCE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I was very much grstifed to
notice Jake Norris's resignation, in the Union
of Saturday evening, as chairman of our city
and township committee. He promised TO
resign before the opening of the late cam
psign, and had he kept his promise, and
thus given us chance TO put good man in
his place, have no doubt we should have
saved many votes by it. But we are glad to
be rid of him, even at this late day-though
think he ought to make a report showing
of whom he had collected money and the
amount from each one. This he has never
done. IF he don't know how to make re-
port L would refer him TO the county clerk
for Instructions"

suffrage only to those blacks who read or who have
property is dismssing the question from our poIit-
cal issues. We lose that advantage and the same
time add to the Union political strength of the south

Phillips forsses that the radical party will
die in the moment when the negro shall be
taken out of politics, and unlike his followers,
has the honesty to declare his hostility to the
measure on that ground. He therefore de.
mands that congress shall ''throw the chat of
