The New York Nation raises
this question: Since the l4th
Amendment prescribes that if any
State shall deny black citizens the
right to vote, the black population
shall not be counted in the basis OF
apportionment; and inasmuoh as
several Northern States, as, for in,
stance, Ohio, have constitutional
provisions denying this right, must
not the colored population be ex.
cluded from the basis Of their ap.
portionment Of representatives ~
True, the 10Th Amendment declares
that no State shall deny this right
for the reason Of color; but the
Nation holds that the provision in
the 18th Amendment is a penalty
on the States that do deny this
right, aud that the white qualiaca-
ton is the act Of denial. We sup
pose It may be sufficiently answered
in this way! State ordinances that
are In conflict with the National
Constitution are null and void.--
Being null and void, they are as II
they had no existence Therefore,
these provisions In the State con
stitutions and laws are dead ergo,
they do deny the citizens the right
70 vote for the reason Of color, and
therefore the blacks will be counted
in the apportionment.- Gin. Gdz.

TIIE GAN ExpLOSION.

At the time Of the explosion Of
the gas receiver a year and-a- half
ago, there was arunning discussion
in the newspapers for fortnight,
and then the matter was allowed to
drop. An inquest was held on the
body of Patrick McKinsey, but Of
course the jury contented itself
with such an examination as would
entitle its members to their fees.
Then the Coroner rested, satisfied
that he had discharged his duty to
the fullest extent He did not seek
to discover the causes of the explo-
sion, nor did he deem it his duty to
suggest any action to prevent the
recurrence Of the catastrophe
In the newspapers there were
prominently brought forward two
theories to account for the explo-
sion. The st. Louis Republican
suggested, in the course of some
comments, that the Cincinnati Gas
Company was popularly charged
with the adulteration Of its gas,
and the faculty Of the gas for meas
urement in proportion to its power
Of illumination was wonderful. 1t
proceeded to say that perhaps the
element that conferred upon it this
power was an expansible one" and
that the mystery underlying this
chemical secret was worth inQuiring
into.
These statements attracted the |
attention Of a correspondent who
signed himself r." and who said |
that he was gas man. He pro
fessed to know that the gas was
adulterated by the company, and
said it was done by mixing the gas
with certain amount Of atmos-
pheric air. Let any man, he said, |
enter the works Of the Gas Com

''R' asserted that this process was
common throughout the country,
Notwithstanding the fact that all
gas men knew that the compound |
this formed was both exceedingly
ana expansive;

The Ohio Wesleyan University,

very prosperous condition both as
to the number Of students in at
tendance-being about four humid
red-and their moral and intellect
ual progress.
The increased interest in the in
stitution, as manifested by recent
donations to its endowment and
building fund, has encouraged the
trustees to furnish more ample ac-
commodations for those in attend
ance, and they are now erecting a
stone building at a cost Of over
$50, 000,which will be used for reci-
tation and chapel exercises,
There is, however, much need of
additional buildings, as the number
Of students could be easily in
creased to one thousand, if sutti-
cent accommodations are furnish
