1t has been gravely asserted by journals
who ought to be better posted, that the poll
tax provision in the New Constitution, re-
quires that every voter shall go TO the
polls with his tax receipt in his hand, in
much the same manner as voters were re-
CURED to produce their registration certi-
ficates.
The people need hardly be told that
this is not required by the New COnsti-
tuition. The poll tax provision requires
that each voter shall have paid his poll
tax before depositing his vote. A man
is required to be resident in the county
six months before voting. If he is chal-
lenged as having not resided in the coun-
ty that length of time, his oath is taken
in evidence. Not one voter in ten thou
sand is thus challenged. So man may
be challenged for not having paid his poll
tax. The judge swears him and his vote
is accepted If he swears falsely he can
be indicted for illegal voting. But it is
not probable that there will be any annoy
ance on this account to the honest voter.
The poll tax is limited to one dollar,
and the, revenue from this tax is sci
apart for educational purposes. Pros

a STRANGE STORY CONCERNING
MIR MADISON

In one of these conversations he Gov
ernor Middleton told me that he then
had in his possession manuscript of his
father, which contained a speech of Mr..
Madison, taken down in shorthand, ad-
vocating a treaty with Great Britain on
the condition that she would acknOwl-
edge the independence of all the colonies
north of the Carolinas The Carolinas
and Georgia were to remain British prov
inces. The resolution embodying this
proposition was introduced in the old
Congress by Mr.. Madison himself. Many
years afterwards, whilst Governor Mid
dletOn was a member of Congress, he
mentioned the subject OF this speech TO
Mr.. Madison, and expressed his great
surprise at it. Mr.. Madison acknowl-
edged having introduced the resolution
and made the speech. He justi
fed himself on the ground that the Caro-
linas and Georgia were at that time CON
quered provinces, the country was oyer
run. with British troops, and the royal
government restored. These colonies
were considered entirely lost after Gates
defeat at Camden, and all reasonable hope
of recovering them was gone forever.
An address had been presented to Lord
CORVALLIS, signed by many of the most
prominent citizens of Charleston, con-
graduating him on his victory and the
final subjugatiOn of the province. | do
not remember to have seen this Iemarka-
bic fact mentioned in the history of our
country. The address to Lord CORVALLIS
l had heard of many years before, but
not the speech and resolution of Mr.. Mad
ison. Congress sat at that time with
closed doors, and their secret proceedings
were not known to the country.

COOP FOR m,ssaCUUsET-rs

The Hon. John Quincy Adams has
never spoken more wisely, or more to
the point, than at the dinner given bythe
Constitutional Club in Boston on Wash
ington's birthday. The very name of
Constitutional Club" in that hOt-bed of
Radicalism is suggestive, and if the pur-
pose of its members be to promote .
profounder reverence for that instrument,
and to vindicate the rights of the States
and the people under it, those who have
banded themselves together in the prose
cution of this noble duty viii deserve well
of their country, whatever the result of
their efforts may be. Mr.. Adams, in his
speech to which we refer, declared en-
phatically that the Radicals in Congress
had grossly abused their powers; that
to perpetuate their party they had
leagued together to destroy the COnstitu-
ton. 81 mean TO say added Mr.. Adams,
sand | say it with a sense OfrespOnsibility
that to-day, there is nothing of the old
Constitution of our fathers left to US ex-
cept what was always understood and
believed by them TO be a mere incident of
| constitutional power, and that is this war
power. The old constitutional
edifice of the fathers was built of the
white marble of the States, which they
brought together voluntarily as a work of
love, and piled up there one by one, each
in pride and delight, adding stone after
stone to the beautiful and symmetrical
edifice under which we all live. Applause. I
But what is this thing which we now see
there in Washington Is that built Of
those stOnes2 Is that put together by
any such bands as those which
| cemented the old Capitol? Why, gen.
tlemen, it is built of the volcanic lava,
hot yet from the results of the OutpOuring
of the mount, Applause, and it is clanped
together by great bands of black, rusted,
iron letters. Applause It's no such
| edificc at all and now we have in the
Presidential chair man who, when he
swears TO protect and defend and preserve
the Constitution, seems TO think that this
is the Constitution which he swears to
preserve" -.a
Abiding to proposition which was
made in the Massachusetts Legislature, a
few days before, to fire hundred guns
on Boston Common in honor of the pas
sage of the Fifteenth Amendment, Mr..
Adams said: II was only sorry that. l
was not in the Legislature to propose, as
an amendment 10 it, that the United
States be humbly solicited to allow the
State of Massachusetts to fire that salute
from Fort Warren, and that the guns
| might be shotted, in order to show the
process by which the Amendment had
been carried"

by BORh Parties.
New YORK, March 3.-The Worlds Ha-
vana correspondent writes that the Cubans
have begun to retaliate in kind on the
Spaniards.
Gen. Quesada before he was superseded
by Gen. Jordan ordered ali the prisoners
within his immediate command to be shot.
and 135 Spaniards were quickly sent to
their last home. When Jordan took COM
mand he shot 300 prisoners.
The black flag is flying on both sides
now, and war of determination has been
set in.
AJumta or "a Masonic Lodge.
A Havana letter gives the details of the
arrest and execution, by tho Spaniards, of
the alleged Cuban Junta at Santiago. The
arrests numbered from forty TO fifty, and
as already published, eighteen had been
executed, including Americans. The exc
cuted gentlemen, when arraigned before
the Military Commission that condemned
them. admitted the existence of an associa-
ton, to which they belonged, but denied
its being a political junta, but only a
Masonic Lodge, and that they met together
as Masons, for Masonic purposes, and no t
as politicians for political purposes.
This defence appears to have angered
instead of satisfying the Spaniards. A
| Californian priest, who has been noted
for the ultraism of his loyalty and noted
denunciations of the Cubans, Immediately
pronounced the Free Masons no better
than the insurgents, and that the rising at
| Yara was plotted and planned in a Masonic
Lodge, and that wherever Masons congre-
gate there Spanish loyalty dies.
The American Consul, Phillips, ably
| seconded by Romsden, the British Consul,
| endeavored hard TO save the lives of his two
countrymen Danmery and Portnando, but
without success The volunteers insisted
upon them being left and shot as well as
their Cuban associates, and thwarted
| all appeals to the Lieutenant Governor OF
| the district to spare them.
Thetwo Americans were Free Masons,
and one of the Cubans was Senior Andrews
Iapuerte, the Grand Orient of the Island.
| Phillips reports the remaining prisoners
| to be executed soon, but statements from
! other sources are that the Lieutenant
| Governor is opposed to any more execu-
tons, and has written to Rodas for In
structions.
The volunteers, headed by Col. Book,
were furious at delay, and clamoring
loudly for the execution of all parties ar
rested. 1t may have happened already
that the Lieutenant Governor had to sue
crimb to their demands. am assured that
Americans are included in the lot.
A Move 90 Prevent Farther Outrage.
Mr.. Phillips has asked the American
| Government for man-of-war The Brit
! ish Consul has also written his Govern
ment that British war vessel should be
kept constantly at his disposal. On the
18th British subject, Frederick Jordan,
ship carpenter, was murdered by Spanish
volunteer. The murderer was arresSed, and
said his bloody act had been done for no

MIR. Farnsworth-No at all.
Mr.. Butler-I am responsible for what
am doing.
The Speaker-It is the duty of the Chair
to recognize the Chairman of the Commit
tee on RECONSTRUCTION, which is authorized
to report at any time.
Mr.. Farnsworth-Does the gentleman
from Massachusetts,, say the Committee
authorized him to report'back on that bill?
Mr.. Butler-I am not to be catechised-
Mr.. Farnsworth-Every member of the
Committee knows we have not considered
the bill since it was recommitted, and /
ask that the Clerk of the committee be
summoned here to decide, if it is a question
of veracity.
Mr.. Butler-This is very plain mat
ter, the bill was before the Committee,
and was reported to the House, and was
ordered printed, and recommitted for the
purpose of being put upon its passage at
the earliest possible moment. l am carry
inc out the instructions of the Committee.
The Speaker said he would submit to the
