ColoRED VOTERS.

Colored persons in the northern
States are already sending on com :
plants here that they have not been al
lowed to vote in town elections since
the fifteenth amendments was ratified
The reason generally assigned by Off
GERS who conduct the elections is that
they take an oath to obey the State laws
relating to suffrage; that although these
are rendered nugatory by the amend
ment they have no official notice of the
fact through the Governor of the State.
A memorial was presented to the Sen
ate yesterday from 137 colorcd men of
Cincinnati, Ohio, with every Signature
in the sarne handwriting, representing
that they were prevented from voting
at an election just held; that in por-
tions or the wards officers whose duty
1t was to hold the election refused to
serve. and their places were supplied
by persons irresponsible in any way for
injuries that might he inflicted on them.
Under the second section of the if
teenth amendment Congress can pass
appropriate legislation enforcing color
ed suffrage. and this memorial was re-
lerred for that purpose to the J judiciary
Committee Washington tesUaaa, Balto.

THE SAN DOMINGO JOE.

According to the Boston Adr6rtis ;,
private letters from San Domingo are
niied with warnings against the pro-
posed purchase of tina: country. and
represent the whole thing az a vast lob.
They state that the promoters Of the
scheme have bought up all the valuable
territory, which, in event oil annexa-
ton, would be necessary for fortitica-
lions and warehouses. The election is
reprcscntcdas farce. No such thing
as vote by ballot ia known; the voters
being brought up by force, land COM
PEELED to vote in certain way; and

ed in the treaty, are said 20 be myth,
Advices received in other quarters
state that the debt of the republic will
prove to be nearer $4,000 900 than the
sl'5OO,OO0 stated in the purchase pro-
posals. The more tails scheme is yentl-
lated the more odorous of speculation it
becomes.

AWFUL DEATH.

A correspondent at Uppervllle, Va,
gives us an account of fearful death
at that place OIL the evening OF the Both
Of March. Itappears that Mr.. j. w.
Williams, formerly of Baltimore, a gen
tleman OF considerable property, who
has for some time been residing near
Y pperyille, had been IN the town dur
ing the day. Towards n:shtfall he
mounted his horse and started in the
direction OF home. Some half mile
from town, it issupposed, he dlsmount-
ed, Invested himself OF his coat, and at
tempted to remount. The animal
at something, started to run.
and a few rods from where he started,
Williams lost his balance and Tell to the
ground, his head striking sharp rock,
SO that at this point teaspoonful of
the man s brains was found Oh the rock.
But his feet were entangled in the STIR
rup, and in this condition he was drag
ged against snag, by which a hole
three inches long was torn into his en-

Havana, April l1.-Captain-Gencral
De Rodas telegraphed from Puerto
Principe that two columns have re-
turned without meeting the enemy
forces. They we're thea provisions d
for two months and sent forward. Two
men and one woman were captured,
and the men hung.
The correspondence OF the rebels was
captured and much rebel property de-
stroyed.
The advance guard of the insurgents
surrendered. They report that Enri-
que Bilicor, Diego, Aguerro, al d an
American named Mogent, were tho
cheflleaders OF the insurgents, and some
had embarked after fighting among
themselves.
Cespedes intends leaving the coun-
try, but will be actively pursued. An
archy, panic. ami ceseit.ons, prevail
among the rebels, and some have raised
the standard Of revolt against Agra
monte, owing to his tyrannical behav-
ior. On yesterday the leaders of this
revolt assassinated fourteen of their
own men.

considered official, causes great rejoic-

REs1GNAT1oN OF MIR. HoAR.

Attorney General Hoar, being desir-
Gus OF retiring from the Cabinet, few
dayssince expressed to the President
his Intention of resigning, and urged
the acceptance of his resignation. The
PRESIDENT, in reply, informed the At
torney'GeneraI of his regrets at this de-
terrination, but, in Difference to his
wishes, would accept the resignation.
The subject Of successor to Judge
Hoar has alFeady been discussed among
leading politicians. though it is useless
for them to arrange the slate, as it is
positively asserted that the President
has already informed several prominent
Pennsylvanians that the appointment
would be given to their State.

WAS BURLINGAwE POISONED,

In the diplomatic circles of Europe
the most astonishing rumors are circu-
lating in regard to the sudden death OF
Mr.. A1sen Burlingame. 1t is stated
that difficulties originated in Chinese
embassy concerning the rank and au-
thority OF its various members, ending
in the poisoning of the American chief
OF the embassy. AT this distonco from
st. Petersburg we have no means as
pertaining the truth of these rumors.
IL probably is nothing more than the
Russian manner of thinking according
to which the sudden death OF any pro-
minens person is always explained
rather in an unnatural than a common
manner. 1t IL a fact, however that Mr..
burlingame was very careless in regard
to his health. He went out skating

been given for them to digest that be-
fore another and worse dose wasex-
hlbited. This erowding OF the negroes
into office while there are white men
quite as deserving and as well qualified
won't WIN in the long run. 1t will
break the Republican party down, 1t

that this foolish policy of elevatiAg

EXPERIMENTS WITH A eUILLoT1NEp

the face was one ofstupor, not of pain.

placing of sponge dipped in ammonia
under the nose. The head even sub

of Legendee's pile was then applied,
and variety of tricks performed, not

suppose, for they do not seem to have

In conclusion, we are told il il propos-
