nevertheless the case. In Alex ,ndria the Sey-
rnour and Blair ticket carried the Cay. Under

not represented in Congress, Virginia will
doubtless be ruled out 4.
The first fruits Of the late Radical success
IN the Presidential election aud Congress are
panic in Wall-street, a decline Of 81 per cent.
in government bonds in two days, and money
run mp to to per cent. per day in govern
mant bonds for collaterals. This rate per day
is equal to 80 to $50 per annum, and we do not
wonder to read Of failures and general conster-
nation. This is not very healthy exhibit.
The Tammany Hall "Alhambra" in New
York is to be as far as possible an exact copy
OF the popular music halls Of London. 1t will

for four persons around them. Here persons
can smoke and drink at their leisure and enjoy
the performance at the same time. Mr. Leo
.nard Grover is to be the director.

to the constitutions of those States, establish

In Iowa there wore 1869 negroes, which would
give 214 voters. The majority for the amend
ment in Iowa is reported OF 10000, ard in
Minnesota at 6000
z Captain General Lersundi had an inter-
view with De la Rientrie, the American consul
at Havana. a few days ago, in regard to affairs
connected with the insurrectionary move
ments in Cuba. The consul stated that some
american citizens might be implicated in the
movement, as they generally favored republi-
can institutions, and Il they were captured and
.should be fried and. dealt with in q manner
that should create suspicion Of foul dealing,
the, United States government might be unable
to pre1ent filibustering expeditions against the
island. The Captains General said all prison
ers would be allowed to consult with counsel,
and would be dealt with according to the civil
law in the case. The consul subsequently de-
termined to ask for the presence of United
States man-of-war in Havana, bft on prepar-
ing telegram for the purpose the Captain
General requested him not to send it, as it
would encourage the discontented. The con-
sui insisted, and the Captain-General then
positively refused to allow the telegram to be
transmitted over the cable.

lady, and Mrs. Lucy Stone, both Of them prop
.srty-holders and taxpayers, appeared at the
polls in Roseville Park. N. j., accompanied by
Messrs. Bathgate and Blackwell as witnesses,
and offered their votes. The judges of election
were divided as to the propriety Of receiving the
ladies' votes, one Of them stating that be was
in favor of doing so, the other two objectiDg on
the ground of illegaity. The ladies stated that
they had taken the advice of eminent lawyers.
and we're satisfied that women are legally en-
titled to vote in New Jersey from the fact that
the old constitution Of the Statc conferred suf
frage upon s'all inhabitants" worth $3.50. Un,
der the old constitution women did, in fact,
vote very generally until the year 1907, When,
by an arbitrary act of the Legislature,
women were excluded from the polls.
The new constitution, adopted in 1871, was
framed by convention, and adopted by con-
stituency from both OF which women were un-
,constitutionaly excluded, SO that they have
never been allowed to vote upon the question
