We gTieve to remark that the tytant man has
rather got the better OF Miss Anthony. A Fed
ersi judge. sitting 10 Judgment upon her, has
pronounced her guilty Of Illegal voting. In doing
30 he has taken grounds which we are mot used to
see assumed by Federal Judges in these latter
years. Ii is soms time sinne we w-era assured
from q Federal bench that there were any such
things a. State rights even within the narroWest
lmita, rs against the legislation of Congress.
Judge Hunt points out both the rights Of States
and the limitations OF those rights in a fashion
which would not have misbecom0 q Judge ap-
pointed under q much earlier Admninistration than
that from which he derived his commission:
THE right OF voting, or the privilege of voting,
il right or privilege arising under the constitn-
ton Of the State and not Of the United States II
the right belongs 70 any particular person it h be-
cause such peDon Is entitled 70 IL he citizen Of
the State where he offers TO exercipe il. and not
because OF eiti1enshlp Of the United States. II
the State OF New Yerk ahould provide that no
person should vote until he had Tehehed the age
Of thlrty-one years, or attW 10 bad reAehSd the
age OF nfty, or that no person having gray hair,
/ or who had not the Possession OF all his limbs,
should be entitled 10 vote, do Rbt see how II
could be held to be violation Of any right de-
rived or held under the ConHtitutiDn Of ths United
States. He might aAy that snch regulations were
unjust, tyrannical unit for the regulation Of an
intelligent Stats; but Il the FighfSof citizen ars
i thereby violated, they are Of that fundam mental

When this road is completed, the Kent Island

will be connected with the city of New York in
