SERIOUS AccIDENT,-About u o'clock yesterday,
whilo the laborers were employed in unloading md
cleansing the shells Stored on the vacant lot at
the corner Of Bee and President streets, one, by
some means, exploded and instantly killed. a color
ed man na1nod Sentry Miller. The unfortunate
man vas em poyed to unload these SHELLS, and was
engaged in the performance of his duty at the
time of the explosion. He was almost torn to
pieces, and portions OF his body and fragments OF
shell being scattered in every lircction some Of
latter passing through tho fonces and buildings in
the neighborhood One white man and three ne
groes, standing near, were also injured-one of the
latter, named Den Sudbury, so seriously that his
left arm wasamputatcd near the shoulder, and he
was sent to the hospital.
Coroner WHITING was promptly notified, and I'M
mediately enlpannclied a jury, who returned rei-
dict that the deceased came to Ills death BY the nc
cidental explosion Of shell which he was uaload-
ing. It is providential circumstance tina: so few
were injured, as this lot has beon used Tor some
time for the purpose Of storing these shells, and
there were quite 2 number around, besides much
loose powder s In consequence Of this accident,
the military authorities have decided that no
further unloading of shells shall take place. 1nl-
munity from danger is very apt to create reckless
ness. and it is astonishing to think how careless
men become while handling these dangerous I'M
Moments. It is to be hoped that this accident
will tend to secure greater vigilance, and thus
prevent it's re-occurrance in the future.

EXAMINE THE Llsrs.-General SCHo-
FIELDS order to the Boards Of Registra-
ton provides:
"Thcy Uhe Boards) shall also cause
copies of the lists [of votersl to be posted
in three of the most public places OF the
district or ward"
The object to be accomplished by this
posting is the erasure of the names of all
such persons as are not voters in the ward
or district in which they have registered.
We do not know that these lists have yet
been posted; but they will soon be, OF
course. When posted, they should be
rigidly scrutinized by persons familiar with
the residents of the several wards, SO that
the names of the hundreds Of negroes who
are supposed'to have registered illegally
may be struck off.

NEGROES IN NEW YoRK.-In the New
York Constitutional Convention on Tues
day last the discussion was still progress
ing upon the negro suffrage question. Mr..
GERRY said negro suffrage had been re-
peatedly submitted to the people, and
each time rejected by very large vote.
But it was claimed that change had
come over the minds Of the people in ia
vor Of negro suffrage. If that be so, then
the friends OF the measure should not op-
pose its separate submission. From which
our "colored friends and brethren +" will
learn that the question which has been so
often decided against their race in New
York is not yet settled in their favor, and
that this question is, not their fitness for
Office, but their right to vote.
