denies to them the right to vote on the election
OF PresIdt Mt and Vice-President OF the United

Constitution, and that Congress has no more
power to reject their votes than that of the States

The readers OF the Republican will remember

a negro nameu Joshua Williams, the mnrdere

a reward OF two hundred dollars was offered for

committed him TO jail at tlrWinton. He acknpW-

AE ETrsnton-FeHFfNl Excitement aInOnR
thO Co vieCH.

tho 90 AV1ctst
From the Trenton Gazette of this morning.
About quarter before O'Clock on Saturday
evening, an alarm OF hre was rang tor the State
Prison. As the report spread throughout the
city that the prison was ON hre, the excitement
became intense, ana IN the course OF an hour
thousands OF the people had assembled in the
vielnIty of that massive edihce, The vacant
los on Second street. Immediately in the rear
OF the PRISON, were literally packed with excited
people and the luTid flames and dense volumes
OF tmcke rising above the gloomy walls pre-
seuted a scene of terrible grandeur.
The blacksmith shop in which the hre org'
na,ed Is located in the triangular space between
what ls known as the new or middle wing and
the south wing. It was ong wooden building
containing 9bOut thirty torges and steam
engine and machinery. There are three prlncl-
pal wings OF the prison diverslng from the main
entrance or dwelling part facing on the canal
the TWO above mentioned ana another long
wing stretching 10 the north west corner OF the
yard, called the north wing. There are at
present about 600 convicts in the prison. so that
each wing probably contained about two hun
dred each.
When the engines arrived there was consider
able dlmculty experienced about having free
access 10 ana from the prison, and consequent
nn or unate delay In getting their engines iuto
service. When the doors were opened there
was such a tremendous crowd standing re adv
10 rush in that the keepers became alarmed
Tor the safety of the prisoners and Tor
time shut the doors against the entrance
of any more persons, even excluding the
6remen. Another difficulty was experienced in
many OF the 6femen Aot being equipped, and
being refused admittauce on that account. Toe
hremen seem TO be of the unanimous opinion
that If they bad been peruittCd at first TO nave
taken en- ire charge Of the Sre, and the keepers
had confined their efforts to guarding the prl-
EOners, they could easily have confined the
dau age 10 the burning Of the b2cksmith shop,
ana prevented the destruction OF the south wing.
