condition of anyipsltical or civil right,
privilege OF immunity enjoyed by any
class of men"
II is well known that Il very large
portion of the elections in all the States,
If not all, u majority do not believe in or
accept the practical equality of Indians,
/ MongOlians or negroes with the race to
which they belong. If the voters in
many of the States of the North and
West were required to take such an oath
as test of their qualifications, there is
reason to believe that majority of
them would remain from the polls
rather than comply with such degrading
conditions. How far and to what ex-
tent this test oath prevented the regis
gtIatiOD of those who We're qualified IN
der the laws of Congress, it is impossi-
bic TO know, but such was its effect, at
least, to overcome the small and doubt
idl majority in favor of the Constitu-
tion There can be nc reasonable doubt
should the people of Arkansas,
therefore, desiring to regulate the cleo
tive franchise so as 70 make il conform
to the institutions of large proportion
of the States of the North and West,
and modify the provisions referred to in
the fundamental condition, what is the
consequence Is it intended that de-
NAL of representation shall follow If
SO, may we not decide at some future
day recurrence of the troubles which
have so long agitated the country ?
Would 1t not be the part of wisdom to
take for our guide the Federal Constitu.
tion rather than resort to measures
which, looking only to the present, NAV
{ in few years renew in an aggravated
form the strife and bitterness caused Inv
legislation which has proved to be so iii.
timed and unfortunates.

A NOVEL BET.
Who Lost IL and How IL was
Paid.

We announced IN a short paragraph
yesterday morning that w. II. Carver,
ESQ, Of the house Of w. h. Carver d
Co would saw 8 cord Of wood Ia front
OF the store OF Messrs. Conner & Rich
Rrdson, in payment of a bet made be-
tween his and Mr.. Conner. Mr.. Carver,
who is one Of our heaviest grocery mer-
chants, made the bat with Mr.. Conner
some four months ago the terms being
that il Seymour were elected President
Of the United States Mr. Conner should
saw a bali cord Of wood 10 three lengths,
or one cord in two lengths, in front OF
the store of Mr.. Carver. II, on the con-
trary, Gen Grant were elected, Mr.. Car
yer should do the same in front of the
store of Conner & Richardson-the loser
in either instance to pay for the wood,
and the wood, after being sawed, to be
presented to g charitable institution.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Carver sent
The WoOd-R cord OF o6k-to the RD
pointed place, Howard Row., and at
twenty minutes past ten appeared
on the grounds with saw and
saw horse, and went to work, back up
and straps buekled down." A great
many Of his friends, and others who
we're prompted by curiosity, were on
hand TO see him commence. Several ar
dent Democrats Alderman Tom.
OiDoDnel, among others-Eot only Of
fered but begged to be allowed to share
Ahe bet with him and help him, but Nj.
Carver refused their proffsred services
insisting on paying his bet himself.
OF course numbers were on hand
10 "chsf" and pslsver with him;
but Mr.. Carver, buckiing into his
work, finished saving the cord in
n hour and thirty-fve minutes
from the time be begsn-Mr. Conner fur
Bishiug a man to handle and pile the
wood.
AS soon as Mr.. Carver finished his ar
dueus tack, he adjourned along with sew
ersl friends to the store of w. II. Carver
& Co., No. 6 Howard Row, where cake
and ~wiDe-sIOpg with the juice of corn,
ct cete-G, lad A6itum), were served out.
Meanwhile the sawed wood wEs piled in
3 wagon and on 8 drsy, both being Ia
beled with a card bearing the following
inscription "Seymour would-oT Save
more wood-fOr Gen. Grant, by w. h.
Carver, No. 6 Howard Row." After eat
ing anC drinking with his friends, Mr.
Carver and Nj. Conner mounted the two
vehicles, and after driving them around
through the tb~orougbfares, and Wis.
iting the newspaper offices, they drove
sut to ST. Peters Orphan Asylum and
presented the wood to the orphans.
Thus wss paid the greatest bet that has
been made or decided In Memphis in
many years.
