TIE CoNDITIoN.-The Southern States
which have just voted on the acceptance of
their newly formed Constitution, and for the
elections of officers under them, are Georgia,
North and South Carolina, and Louisiana.
North Carolina voted to accept and ratify by
a very small majority. South Carolina did
the same by a majority nearly double the
whole contrary vote. Louisiana also ratified
the constitution and elected Republican
State ticket by 10000 majority. In Georgia
only an official count can decide the point,
but it is probable that the Constitution has
been adopted. The Mississippi Convention
have finished their work and the new Con-
stitution will soon be voted on. A DEM
ocratic Mayor and Council were elected in
New Orleans. The new Constitution framed
In Virginia will be voted upon June and,
when members of Congress and the Leg
ialature are to be elected. If the Constitu-
tion is adopted, the Legislature will meet
June Gath. Washington Territory is to vote
the same month upon organizing State
government. Florida holds her constitu-
tional election May 4-6. The Rhode Island
legislature is to meet May 26th and elect
a United States Senator. The election
will occur early in June, and there is no
doubt that Republican will be chosen.
Maine wants to have Ex-Vice President
Hsmlin put on the ticket with Grant for the
Vice Presidency, but Connecticut demands
that Gov. Buckingham shall be taken up,
and almost every other State names from
one to three candidates for that Office. No
ticket run in opposition to the Democrats,
since 1910, has ever succeeded without
the Vice President becoming President be.

STEEL RAns.-Most Of the recent deplo.

STEEL RAns.-Most Of the recent deplo
rable railroad accidents have been caused
by broken rails. Defective rails, or rails
made of inferior iron, when the track is moi
in order, are always dangerous at high
rate of speed. The introduction of steel
rails will form new era in railroads. Their
cost is only about double that of iron. They
will last about twenty times as long as the
best iron rails and cannot be broken. The
time is not distant when every first class
road viii be compelled to adopt steel raiis
not only on account of their safety, but on
the score of economy. Near the terminus
of the Northern Central road, at Baltimore,
several miles of steel rails have been in use
for two years, and sppcar nearly as good
as ever. Previously, the track required re-
newal with iron rails about every three
months. The Legislature ought to compel
their use by restricting the speed on iron
rails to 20 miles per hour and on steel to 30.
True economy alone ought to induce the
adoption of steel rails at once.

TaE WAY ELECTIONS ARE CARRIED
The New York Times refers to one of the
late election frauds in this State as follows
"In the investigation of certain political
frauds in the Pennsylvania Legislature,
Rev. T. Tracy, apriest of Clearfeld, testified
that he paid man named OMeara $500
to leave the State while the inquiry was
going on, In order that he might not ap-
pear as witness and that he did this at
the instance of Senator Wallace, Chairman
of the Democratic State Committee. There
are several disgraceful features Of this trans
action not the least Of which is that a
Priest should have been found willing to
make himself party to SO base an act..-
The Times might have added that another
man, who recalled in his testimony, VIVA,
he knew of these frauds, was murderea

Ie cah special attention to our volun,i; ,i;nous
Sou'h American correspondence. and pafts;-
cularly TO the. accounts of the daring attack Of
the Paragnayans on the Brazilian iron-clads
stationed between Curupaity and Humaits.
We published yesterday the reports of the
attack Of the allies on Humaita, the cauture
and abandonment of ESTABLISHMENTS tho as
cent past the batteries of Ourupaity and mast
Humaita by three small monitors, and the re-
ported arrival of the gunboats at Asunciop.
The despatch of Admiral Ignacio described
with true Spanish sonorousness the forcing Of
this famous pass Of Humaita as ''an action
which will equalize our marine (the Brazilian
marine) with the most important in the world"
Our later news, while it records the rejoicings
of the Brazilians the failure of the intrepid
attempt of the Paraguayans on the I'd of March
to capture the eight Brazilian iron-clads which
had successfully crossed the sunken chains
and were lying between Curupaity and
Humaita, announces at the same time that
two of these iron-clads had been stranded,
and mentions rumor that another had been
captured by the Paraguayans, and, moreover,
the fact that such was the scarcity of coal that
two hundred dollars per ton were offered, thus
suggesting the inference that it is by no means
impossible all the remaining iron-clads may
yet fall into the hands of the Paraguayans .,e'
The attack made by the latter upon the IRON
clads was manifestly far more serious than it
was reported to be. 1t attested the pluck and
obstinacy with which the Paraguayans are
maintaining what seems to be most unequal
struggle. Even if they should be forced to
retire beyond the reach of gunboats, the
rumored deserton Of Asuncion and the river
towns would seem to indicate, as our corre-
spondent remarks in the letter which we pub
lished yesterday, that ''the Paraguayans mean
to fight it out in the interior of the country"
eff so," he asks, "when may the war be
finished-in one, two or three years? Qusen
s06e?" Whatever the event may be the Para
guayans will have demonstrated to the world,
by their patient endurance of hardships and
hunger, by their heroic bravery and their
almost fanatical spirit of resistance to the en-
croachments of the allies, how richly they
have deserved success.
In the correspondence which we publish
to-day will be found full details of the assas-
sination of General Flores, whose accession to
supreme power in Uruguay, by means of Bra
lillian bayonets, is the alleged origin of the
Paraguayan war.

The pili to Protect Naturnlixcd Citizens
Abroad.

The bill reported by Mr.. Banks from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs relative to the
rights of American naturalized citizens in for
eign countries passed the House Of Representa-
tives after a good deal Of discussion on Mon
day The object and general features of this
bill are excellent, and there seemed to be little
opposition to these; for when the vote was
finally taken the bill was passed by % yeas TO
) pays. There was, however, q great differ
ence of opinion as TO that feature Of the bill
which authorizes 'ithe President to order the
arrest and to detain In custody any subject or
citizen of a foreign government who may be
found within the jurisdiction OF the United
States, by way of reprisal for any citizen OF
the United States that may be arrested and
detained by any foreign goSernmsnt in contra
ven ION Of the intents and purposes Of the
act, and upon the allegation that naturalization

solve his allegiance to his native sovereign. It
was thought by many members that thia
extreme measure Of reprisal might be danger
ons and tend to lead the country into trouble.
especially when the exercise Of Il was proposed
so be left to the discretion Of the Executive.
Mr.. Eliot, Of Massachusetts, proposed 10 modify
the bill BY an amendment striking out the part

Condition of the Legislature.
1t will be seen that the Albany Grand Jury
have indicted Lewis, the lobbyist, on charges
of attempted bribery preferred by old Mr.. Glen,
late the member from Wayne. This Grand Jury
has, therefore, exhibited higher sense ofpublic
virtue and justice than any of the same number
of members Of the Legislature that could be
named. 1t virtually places old Mr.. Glen on
his legs again in the matter of his charges Of
corruption against the Legislature. Besides,
the CONSERVATION among the members created
by the healing of the troubles between Van

pressions of disappointment, rage and disgust
at the closing up of the two splendid placers
for enriching themselves spread out before
them by the quarrels of the two distinguished

saton. That viii not settle the cigar bills

then, in this extremity FOR the preservation Of
the credit Of thc Solons at Albany? We
suggest one or two plans which may be adopted
with success: Let subscription be raised by
those who have been benefited by their stay
at Albany, and in case the amount raised by
such means be too pitiful, let the saloon keep
ers and others who have realized ready cash
from their presence pus their hands in their
pockets let the washerwomen throw in their
bills until next year. or, in case these plans Of
relief do not succeed, let King Daniel give the
members free passage to Jersey City, or King
Cornelius free passage to Auburn, and then
they will be sure Of being taken. care of at one
end of the line or the other.
