Four days after this occurrenoe one
Of our United States Senators teosi-
fies that Chinaman would not be IL
lowed to vote in this city.
This investigation further shows
that the city of San Francisco has
been collecting from $4,000 TO 4aO.-
100 per year poll tax from the Chi-
nese, and it has been the custom
from the settlement Of the country
to the present. There are 1OO.00A
Chinese in this State; about 5,00o-
are women, and bad ones at that.
Each Chinaman is taxed 4I per year
poll tax, yet the men cannot VOTE
my more than can the Chinese va
men. 1t is very difficult to identify
Chinaman, either by name or psr-
sonal appearance, and they "gst
even" on the tax collector by passing.

their friends. No odoubt John thiHks
it unjust to bc thus assessed ys6f
after year, and not he allowed to
vote. The Chinese In this state
have paid an aggregate Of over $JO0-
600 poll tax, and only one Chinese
vote has been polled.
There are more than 1900 Chi
nese males in this city now under
twenty-one years of age, who were
born here, and who will all be of the
legal age Of twenty-one within the.
next ten years. Being born and
reared here, they are certainly
American citizens, and will Be en-
titled to vote.

The Democrats want TiIden de-
clared President by throwing outthe
vote Of one or two Hayes electors be-
cause their names were not printed
uniformly on all the ballots cast for
them in their States. They say Mr..
Jones, for instance, Is not elected, be-
cause on some Of the tickets his name
was printed William B. Jones, on
others VIM. II. Jones and William
Jones. Sauce for the goose ought to
be sauce for the gander. And that
sort Of sauce would throw out several

In 1875 the total vote OF the State

Constitutional Question.

The following question and answer,
which we find In the State Register,
will crafty great many men who
have propounded the same conun-
drum within the past few weeks:
Can the State OF Colorado choose It's
Presidential Electors on any other
except the same day as tho other
States have chosen theirs, which day
Is the same throughout the United
States, as fixed by law. Will not,
therefore, the said State Of Colorado
be rejected In the Electoral College?
See Art. 2, Sec. /, OF the Constitution
OF the United States.
CIV. SEEvERT.
REPLY.
There are two questions in the
above, instead OF one, but one an
swer will do for both. Colorado can
"choose its Presidential Electors on
any other day." on any day It's Con-
stitution or statutes shall direct, and
its vote will not "be rejected In The
Electoral College,"
The clause In the Constitution Of
the United States 10 which our cor
respondent refers Is as follows:
The Congress may determine the
time Of choosing the electors, and
the day on which they shall give
their votes; which day shall be the
same throughout the United States.
The last clause Of the above, all fol.
lowing the semi-colon, refers to the
day on which the Electors shall "give
their votes" and not to the time
when the Electors shall be chosen.
The second clause of Section 1, Arti-
Gle two OF the Federal Constitution
fixes this time as follows: "Each
State shall appoint, In such manner
as the Legislature thereof may di.
rect" etc.
Our Democratic enquirer and
friend will rejoice with us that this
difficulty Is cleared away and that
Colorado's electoral votes are solid
for Hayes.

New Preston Hill.

The difficulties in the New Preston church have finally resulted into some. thing more than theological controversy. It will be recollected that at the recent annual meeting ot that society, vote was carried by one majority instructing the committee to pay up and discharge Mir. Upson. The committee did pay Mir. Upson and hired the Rev. MT. Pike as temporary supply, who soon found the water much too hot for him 70 swim in comfortably, and resigned as did the soci- tvs committee. Mir. Upson, in the mean time, claiming to have a binding three years engagement with tho society, still continued his manifestations, and, on Sat- urday last, special society's meeting was held which chose Daniel Camp, Irwin Beardsley, and Daniel Evitts society's committee and voted to instruct the clerk to make DO record of the vote of the pre-
 vious meeting discharging Mr. Upson. During the discussion an affray occurred between Messrs. G. 0. Hitchcock and IT, win Beardsley. On Monday ss Hitchcock was walking near his house, Beardsley ran into him, as Hitchcock claims who seized Beardsley's horse by the head. The lat. ter tried to make him loose his hold by. striking repeated blows with his whip, bat. some of Hitchcock's men ran to his as- slstence, the whip was wrested from Beardsley, and several blows were given, him with it. Beardsley finally escaped, leaving his team behind. a. .,j ra4t...j y...

Notwithstanding the night was stormy the hall was filled to overfowing. The net amount raised was $lo6. There were fifty up from Thomaston and forty from Wolcottville. Everything passed off in good order. Ten ladies and gentlemen dressed in the attractive cos- tune of one hundred years ago waited on the tables. Among some of the articles drawn by tickets was a handsome sofa cushion made of satin 1t was drawn by Mir. Winslow Allyn of East Litchfeld. Mir.

 &ate.-B. B. North, L. B. Curtis, E. Burton Hart. Theodore s. Gold.
 Senatorial-NilesS Scoville, D. F. John son, s. s. Reed, c. B. Baldwin. ..
 It was voted that the delegates have the power of substitution. It is the desire of many of our Republicans. and hope all, that our state ticket be composed of good staunch Temperance men, for the good of the country and also for the success of our party. If we were to nominate such ticket would it not draw the Prohibit tionists to us and result in our success I know of number of good honest voters who think it their duty to so with sthe Prohibition party, or principle, and unless we nominate good strong temperance men on our own ticket we shall lose them. At least let us have Temperance plank in our platform. Let us hear from you on the subject, Mr. Editor. s.s
