In Rhode Island on the I'd inst, three
amendments to the Constitution of that
State were voted upon, and all of them
were rejected. The first amendment pro-
posed TO abolish the property qualification
for suffrage for citizens Of foreign birth.
This was by far the most important, and on
this the vote has been most important,
being STA In the affirmative, and 6,366 in
the negative. The second amendment pro-
posed to abolish the Registry tax Of 81 for
the support Of public education as qualifi-
cation for suffrage for Don-tax-payers.
This received 1914 votes to 1888 In
the negative. The third amendment
proposed to prohibit any appropria-
ton of public money for the support of
sectarisn schools. This received 5,09S
affirmative votes against 4, 424 in the mega
tive, which is not Constitutional majority,
as it requires three-ffths Of the number
voting to ratify an amendment. These
amendments were proposed by the Demo
Gratis, but were defeated by the Radicals,
who are in majority in the State. Ne
groes can vote in Rhode Island, without
the property qualification, but white men,
not born in this country cannot.

RRKEnYGRANT

Grants idea of the Presidential Office is
aptly illustrated inthe following article from
the Columbus (Ohio) Statesman. He re-
CARDS it simply as a money-making ma
chine and means Of aiding his relations at
she expense of the nation. The Statesman
says:
an the Congress of 1868-'69, just before
the Inauguration of Gen. Grant, PROPOSE
ton was made in the Committee on APP
propriations Of the House of Representa-
lives. by a Radical Congressman who
wished to stand well with the
incoming administration, to increase the
salary Of the President to $4,000 per
year. The idea was to secure the
increase prior to the Inauguration, as the
constitutional prohibition would stand in
the way after Grant was indicted into Of
fee. A Republican member of the commit
tee from Ohio, recognized as an intimate
friend of the President elect, and one OF the
earliest supporters of his nomination, took
strong grounds at once against the measure
as impolitic and wrong in principle. He
declared that Gen. Grant would scorn
any such gratuity in the present
condition of the country. The lnfi'l-
euce of the gentleman was sufficient
TO defeat the increase. The Ohio Congress
man met Gen. Grant a day or two after,
aud thinking he had done him a good
service, related the action Of his impIudent
friend on the committee, and how he cine
Ohio nember) had defeated it, and thereby
saved the party and President elect frtm
scandal. What was the Congressmans
sunrise when Grant turned on his heel,
and in the most insulting manner declared,
IT is matter of perfect indifference to me

less than three weeks ag6, eight on nine citi-
zens Of York county were arrested at their
homes without offering any resistance, taken
across three counties to Columbia, nearly a
hundred miles distant, and lodged in Jail

the only offence. charged against
them being that they whipped negro wo-

the second on the list of those that are to

thought for moment of the manner in
which the Ku-Klux act is enforced, even
now, in the two Crolinas? In the
Rutherford case a large number of cit
liens were torn from their families,
taken to Raleigh-from two to three hum

and none others. We are at a loss to know
why citizens of remote Southern State,
convicted of political offence under the
atrocious law Of "constructiVe felony"
should be sent North TO serve out their SEN
tence, and especially are we surprised that
Governor Hoffman SHOULD tolerate their
incarceration within the walls Of a prison in
his jurisdiction. If, under the operation of
the Ku-Kll1x law, citizens of New York
were dragged from their homes into dis
tant county, and tried and convicted and
sentenced to be taken out of the State and

ATTENTION Is directed to the fact that
the bed Of the Mississippi river seems to be
filing up at rate which threatens in the
course of time to seriously affect navigation
during the dry season. This year at St.
Louis, while the surface of the water has
been four feet and one inch above the low
est stage of water attained by the river in
1888, there was at the same time only abeu
FIVE inches difference in the depth of the
channel between these years, showing that
the bottom of the rivermustbe three feet and
four inches higher shan it was in 1858. So
in 1856 the bed of the river was found to be
two feet and three inches higher than 1t was
ten years previous.
