Manhood Suffrage.

1t is now certain that Congress, early in
the session, which begins next Monday. will
pass Constitutional amendment regulating
suffrage in all the States; and we trust #
will he Haiform, and when it is adopted
that it will apply equally in all the States,
Anything less than this will be mockery
and sham. # anything appertainiug to
this suffrage question or to the laws regu.
lating the political franchise is to be left
for the States to determine, by local and
State law. then everything should he left to
them. These halfway measures, which
some propose to incorporate into the Con-
stitutinn, will never give satisfaction. be-
cause they settle nothing. -eH
1t is time that American craftsmanship
rose to the dignity and grandeur of the
occasion. 1t should meet the demands of
the hour, and grappe with questions like
this we are now considering and settle them
at once, and settle them right. There must
be no compromise, no hesitating, halfway
policies, which always work to mischieyous
ends, as nothing is settled by this sort of
tinkering.

Strange il TFue-A Chicken Alive

The Dayton journal tells the fol.

Mr.. Whit. Herr, of this city, has
shown us u letter from a relative in
San Francisco, giving an account Of
~ rooster that had his head chopped
of on the 18th of February, and was
alive at the date of the letter-March

hfr.-The history of this most won
dcrtul affair is briefly this; On the
18th Of February the cook of q res
taurant in San Francisco decapitated
three ROSTERS, and on going out into
the yard again a few moments after
ward, he could find but two chickens.
On looking around more closely he
discovered the missing rooster walk.

prietorS of tho restaurant were ac-
quainted with the wonderful circum-
stances and they Immediately had
the rooster carefully taken caro- of,
and fed him on boiled milk by means
cf small tube inserted in the throat.
Strange as it may seem, the rooster
was thriving nicely, and the severed
neck had nearly healed over. The
chicken was placed on exhibition in a
popular garden in San Francisco, and
thousands Ct people were admitted
daily to see it. The correspondent
from whose letter we derive these
items, saw and critically examined
this headless rooster, and certifes to
The truth of the relation, We have
heard no theory advanced to account
Tor this passing strange case.
