The iniquitOus project to extend Church-st,
from Fulton-st. to MOrris-st., was yesterday
opposed by meeting of property holders
whose proceedings we print 1t Is well known
that the ultimate design is to widen Church
and Greene-sts. to ClntOn-placc, and to eX-
tend this widened street up to Union-square,
cutting and slashing away at some of the most
valuable property in the city. And this de-
struction is to give additional advantages to
our railroad monopOlies by sacrificing pri-
vate rights and property to their Unsuitable
cTv for "more, more" Not to arouse the in
dignation of the whole community, those who
have the matter i'll hand have begun the work
by first attempting to extend Church-st down
to the Battery. Application was made to the
Supreme Court for the appointment OF Com
missiOners of Estimate and Assessment. Com
missioners were appointed, and they have
proceeded so far as to have filed abstracts of
their report of estimate and assessment for
public inspection in the Street Commissioners
Office.
The amount of damage which it is estimated
will be done to those whose property is to be
wrested from them, under the form OF law, is
about S. 100000. To raise this amount the
Commissioners have assessed 1t, in various
sums, upon all persons holding property in the
City of New-YOrk contained within the fol-
lowing limits: On the west by the easterly
side of West-st., from the Battery to Canal-st.,
and the easterly side of Hudson-st., from
Canal-st. to Fourteenth-st; on the north by
the southerly side of Fourteenth-st., from
Hudson-st to the Fourth-ave.; on the east by
the westerly side of Fourth-ave., from Four
teenth-st. to the Bowery, and by the westerly
side of the Bowery, Chatham-square, and New
Bowery, to Ja@es-st. and the westerly side

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN 4 BRITISH COLONY.
Ii is a somewhat remarkable coincidence that
lust at the time when the right of suffrage has
been conferred upon the freedmen of the
South the negroes of the most important of
the British West India possessions should have
been summary deprived of that right. We
allude to the island of jamaica, where the rep
resentative system of government has been
recently abolished, and a Council, composed of
officials and a few nominees of the Crown,
substituted for the former Legislature. The
circumstances under which the Legislature was
abolished form curious page in the history OF
the island, and one as Instructive rs it is cni-
ous From the period of its settlement as an
English colony, two hundred years ago, till
within the last twelve months, Jamaica enjoyed
representative institutions, and many were the
battles fought in the earlier days of the colony
by the House of Assembly with the Crown for
the preservation and defense of popular rights
against the attempted encrOachmcnts of prelog-
ative. In those conflicts the House always
came off victorious; the consequence OF winch
was that the Jamaica Assembly enjoyed Il re-
markable decree of freedom and independence
of imperial control, III days when the doctrine
of local self f-gOvcrnment, as applied To the
colonies, had not even been dreamed of by the
statesmen of the mother country. That body
like this should deliberately commit political
suicide-for such was in fact the nature of the
act by which its existence was ended-mlght
appear unaccountable !; but brief explanation
will show that there was, after all, nothing sur
piising in the event.
AS il was in this country, so il was III the
British West Indies simultaneously with the
granting of freedom to'thc blacks, the question
of investing them with political rights was
mootcd. Unlike the way, however, in which
the matter has been dealt with here. the
settlement of the question thcre,Iwas, uniortu-
nately left 10 the planters, who at the time
filled almost every seat in the Assembly, the
Imperial Government contenting itself with an
expression OF its desire that the freedmen
should be enfranchsed with the least possible
delay. Accordingly, shortly after the Emanci-
nation, new Electoral law was passed 10y the
Jamaica Legislature giving the suffrage 10 the
blacks, but the terms were such as rendered the
concession all but valueless TO those whom the
measure was Ostensbly intended to benefit.
The exercise Of the franchise was made condi-
tional on the possession in fee simple Of real
property and the payment OF certain amount
of direct taxes. How this would operate in the
case of a people just liberated from slavery,
and who, as slaves, had been forbidden by law
to hold property, may easily be imagined. The
thing was in fact II mOckcry and delusion.
But, contrary to what had been expected time

The State Conventions held at Syracuse and
Albany yesterday have made their nonina
tons, and we present the names OF the -
gentlemen who will be elected delegates at
large to the Constitutional Convention In
the Syracuse Convention, after the election
of the Hon. John A. Griswod as Chairman,
the Canal Ring" made a determined effort 70
name delegates in its interest, happily defeated
by the speeches of Gen. WOOdfOrd, Gen Gates,
and others, and the general good sense of the
Convention. The plan finally adopted for the
selection was as follows: Each Of the eight
Judicial Districts named two delegates, OF
which one delegate was selected by the Con-
ventiOn and the remaining eight were
then chosen by general vote The transaction
of this business completed the work OF the
Convention, with the exception OF the unani-
nous passage of resolutions instructing the 10
delegates at large to support an amendment TO
the Constitution giving suffrage to cOored
citizens and expressing confidence III Gov.
FentOn.
The Democratic Convention elected the Hon.
ID. A. Ogden, Chairman, and listened to
speeches from that gentlemen and Mr.. Sam
uel J. Tilden, of which the burden was
the wrongs of the South zand thel glory
of Connecticut The Mozart delegates were
turned ont of the hall, and Tammany tri-
umphed. The Convention adopted a resolution
appointing a Committee of three from each Ju-
dicial District to report sixteen delegates at
large; and at the evening session, after an adj
dress 20 electors their ticket was adopted, after
strong opposition.
On the Republican ticket some names are
omitted which should have been inserted, but
it need not fear comparison with that adopted
at Albany BY the following lists the public
may Judge which set of delegates at large
the better represents the intelligence and
respectabity of its party:

the public to an artist whose pictures are only not
rause they are hardly ever seen in an auctionr0om-
But whoever buys one of them may be sure that ho
has secured a work Of sterling merit; one, OF which;
il he be true lover of nature he will never tire ana
which if he be not lover of nature, wiil help
To make him one. \ patient, earnest, accurate stu
dent Mr. Hope has painted nearly all these pictures
in the open air in the presence of the scenes them
selves. and there is charm about them which can
only result from such method of work, The ideal
the beauty that results from simple fathfalness to
nature is within the reach OF every who loves her
enough to trust simply in her divine aid. y p
