AN Important feature OF the day is the great
closing sale of Dry Goods at LEVY BRoTHsRs,
Their store has been crowded this week notwtth-
standing 1t is the dull season Of the year, which
proves that everybody appreciates purchasing
goods a. low prices.
1he sale which Is now going on at LEVY BROS
Is no new feature IN their business, as they have
nad just such sales every since tho close Of
the war.
1t is the object OF the proprietors to close out
| their stock at The expiration Of each season In
ORDER to be able to show new stock each succeed
ing one. TO make such n sale successful prices
must necessarily be fixed low, or else these sales
would not accomplish the object they are intended
TO. 80 far we pronounce the closing sale OF LEVY
| BROTHERS success, and recommend all In want
| OF dry goods to call on them and make their pur.
chascs, thereby saving at least one-fourth Of the
| value OF the goods which they buy-no doubt
about It..

A QUESTION SETTLED IN OREGoN.-A
question often raised in legal, political, and
legislative circles in Rhode Island (says the
Providence Journal, has recently been de.
cided by the District Court (Judge Deadly
of the District of Oregon. a judge of eec.
tions under State law was indicted for 9
violation Of law Of Congress designed ia
enforce the fifteenth amendment of the
Constitution. The defendant demurred to
the indictment, and the judgment of the
court was (briefy stated) thus:
"Under the fifteenth amendment of the
Constitution, and the act of May 1, 1870
to enforce it, all persons declared citizens
of the United States by the fifteenth amend.
ment are entitled to vote in the States
where they reside, at all elections by the
people, without distinction of race, color,
or previous condition of servitude; but
the several States, Notwithstanding the
amendment, have the power to deny the
right of suffrage to any citizen of the
United States, on account of age, sex,
place of birth, vocation, want of property
or intelligence, neglect of civic duties,
crime, or other cause, not specified in the

CONSOLIDATION AGAIN.-The following
bill is now before the Senate. The Com.
mittee on Roads, &C., reported, fayoring its
adoption, except the last clause
"Be 1t enacted by the General assembly,
That the sixth section of an act entitled an
act to authorize the formation Of the At
lantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad Com.
pany, approved June II, 1870, be amended
and reGnacted so as to read as follows:
''Sec. 6. That in the primary organization
Of the said Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
Railroad Company, as herein provided, and
in all subsequent meetings Of the same,
each stockholder shall be entitled to cast,
in person or by proxy, one vote for each
share Of stock held in the said company :;
and at such primary organization, or at any
annual meeting of the stockholders of the
said company, it shall be competent to elect
such number Of directors as the stockhold-
ers may see tit, and to determine the mode
of electing president and directors, and
to prescribe their terms Of office"
The opponents of the bill claim that this
last clause Is in contravention of the gene
raj law, and gives the directors aud presi-
dent OF the road unusual powers.
