The Convention of New York has
agreed upon the section to be inserted
in the Constitution defining who shall be

have been resident of the State one
year and citizen thirty days, and res
ident of the county where he offers his

in time Of war shall lose his vote by rea,
son of his absence, and the Legislature
is authorized to provide the means for
securing the votes of absent citizens.
The second section provides the means
for preventing persons who have bought
or sold votes from voting, and stipulates
that laws shall be passed to secure the
punishment of such persons The third
section provides that, for the purpose of
voting, no person shall be deemed to
have gained or lost a residence by rea~
son of his presence or absence while

CATION of the waters of the State, of the
United States, or of the high seas, nor
while kept in any almshouse or other
asylums at the public expense nor while
confined in any public prison. The
fourth section provides for registration.
The remaining sections set forth the
manner Of holding elections and the.
oaths to be administered to officers Of
elections. Mr.. Murphy moved to amend
the first section by inserting the words
Z" white male citizens" but after debate
this was lost 4S, nays 81. The

THE sound condition ofthe banks

THE sound condition ofthe banks
and the currency is clearly demon
strated by the latest financial sta e.
ment. The national banks have
SO, 100000 of specie in value and
500, 100000 loaned on call. Their
surplus and their undivided profits
amount to a sum equal to fourth
of their capital. To secure the Gov
ernment deposits, they have bonds
to the amount of S6,000,000 more
than their deposits of government
money at the date of the stetamcnt.
Of their entire assets of 81, 491,N )
OOO, 900, the amount bearing interest
is 81, !50,000,000. And the reserve
fund required to be kept on hand is
considerably greater than the legal
requirement. We cannot conceive
of safer condition than the banks
are in, and find it difficult to account
except on the grounds of political
chicanery, for insinuatioDs thrown
out, by demagogues and reckless
partisans, against the finances and
the currency.

CARVING CHARACTER Did you ever
watch sculptor slowly fashioninga a human
countenance? 1t is not moulded at once.
1t is not struck out at a single blow. A thou
sand blows rough cast it. Ten thousand
chisel points polish and perfect it-put in
the fine touches, and bring out the features
aud expression. Ii is work of time, but
at last, the full likeness comes out, and
stands fixed and unchanged in the solid
marble. So does q man carve out his own
moral likness. Every day he adds something
to the work. A thousand acts of thought,
and will. and efforts, shape the features
and expressions of the soul. Habits of love
piety, and truth--habits of falsehoods, pas
ion,or goodness. silently mould and fash
ion it till at length il wears the likeness Of
God, or the image of demon.

City scrip is weaker though the offer
