.. 49,, New YORK, May 20, 1872.
GENTLEMEN L have chosen not to
acknowledge your letter of the 81
instant. until I could learn how the
work of your Convention was received
in all parts of our great country, and
Judge whether the work was approved
and ratified by the mass Of our fellow
citizens. Their response has from
day to day reached me through tele.
grams, letters and the comments of
journalists independent Of official
patronage and indifferent to the
smiles or frowns of power. The
number and character of these un-
constrained. unpurchased, unsolicited
utterances satisfy me that the move
ment which found expression at
Cincinnati has received the stamp Of
public approval, and been hailed by a
majority of our countrymen as q har-
binger of better day for the republic.
! do not misinterpret this approval
as especially complimentary to myself,
nor even to the chivalrous and justly
esteemed gen :leman with whose name
I thank your Convention for associa-
ting mine. I receive and welcome it
as spontaneous and deserved tribute
to- that admirable platform of princi-
pies, wherein your Convention so
tersely, so lucidly, so forcibly set forth
the convictions which impclled and
the purposes which guided its course
q platform which, casting behind it
the wreck and rubbish of wornout
contentious aud by-gone feuds, EN-.
bodies in fit and few words the needs
and aspirations of to-day. Though
thousands stand ready to condemn
your every act, hardly a syllable OF
criticism or cavil has been aimed at
your platform, of which the substance
may be fairly epitomized as follows:
l. All the political rights and fran
chises which have been acquired by
our late bloody convulsions must and
shall be guaranteed, maintained, en-
ioyed. respected evermore.
II. All the political rights and fran
chises which have been lost through
that convulsion should and must be
promptly re-established, so that there
shall be henceforth no prescribed
class and no disfranchised caste within
the limits of ohr Union, whose long
estranged people shall re-unite and
|fraternize upon the broad basis of
universal amnesty with impartial
suffrage. -,
III. That, subject to our solemn
constitutional obligation to MAINTAIN
the equal rights of all citizens, our
policy should aim at local seif-govern.
n,ent, and not at Capitalization; that
the civil authority should be supreme
over the military; that the writ OF OF
habeas corpus should be jealousy upheld
| as the safeguard of personal freedom
that the individual citizen should en-
10y, the largest liberty consistent with
public order; and that there shall De
no Federal subversion Of the internal
polity of the several States and mum,
cipalities, but that each shall be lett
free to enforce the rights and promote
the well-being of it's inhabitants by
such means as the judgment of its
own people shall prescribe.
w. There shall 9be real and not
merely a simulated reform in the

The late Defeat Of Bassett.

NEW YORK, Oct. g. Although
Bassctt and M%onarchist We're both
sired by Lexington, the defeat of the
former Yesterday at the thrce-mile
race at jerome Park was the most
complete surprise or the season to
TURTLES. Veterans generally attril,-
that gave Longtellow victory at Long
Branch last summer. namely Il sudden
faltering and loss of pluck OH the last
mile. The Worlds reporter SAYS !:
:" What beat Basselt!:' To which
only one answer Il be made Lack
of work. Bassctt requires a great
deal of work to keep him i'll good
condition. That Monarchist is a
grand horse, his many victories at
Long Branch show: but it is exceed
ingly doubtful if he could have won
Yesterday. had there been a third
horse in the act who had trailed the
other two from the start.
The tremendous pace of the first
mile contributed, no doubt, to Bas-
sett's defeat, but Monarchist was
fully as tired. No one. however, must
hold BaSsctt too chenplv, for should
he and Monarcllist meet III the four
mile race next Saturday lit will not lie
even betting. In subsiantiatiOn of the
statement that a third good horse in
the race might have beat them, one
has only to look at the time, 5:34 l-2,
whicl. is not near as good as kcn-
tucky's time was for The first three

The Question Of Eligibility.
From the St. Louis Republican

y correspondent at Parksville
writes that on the 2sth ult. the Dem
%Ocratic county convention nominated
for representative in the legislature
u man who did not and could not
register as II voter two years ago.
He then SAYS: ave wish TO have
YOUR opinion whether or not, he
would DC eligible to q seat in the
next legislature If elected"
The question hinges Oh that part
of section 3, article 4 of the constitu-
ton. which declares that "no person
shall be Il member of the hOuscOf rep
rcsentativcs who shall not have at
tanned the age twenty four years,
who shall be II white male citizen
of the United States, who shall
have been a qualified rOter of this
state tuO years." &c. The answer
depends on whether the person has
been u ''qualiticd voi"r" two Years
before his election. lie may have
been a qualified voter without hay
ing been Registered, or without hav-
ing voted. lie may have nbstained
from registering of his own accord F.:
he might have been prevented by ILL
ness, or Temporary absence from the
state: he might lave been umlaw full
ly rejected by M ignorant 81 arbi-
trary registrar; yet, he may have
been a qualified voter, notwith-tand.
ing all this, for it will hardly be
maintained that registration alone is
proof OF qualification 10 vntr. The
whole question has been ably dis
cussed in u letter written 10y tx Gov.
Reynolds TO the Potosi Journal. lie
mui.:taims that a person may h. eligi-
BILE to Il sea- in the next legislature
who was not registered in 1872. and
the opinion Of the best lawyers III tie
state is to the same effect. The ques-
ton is one which each house of the
legislature will decide for Itself.
