Tho UNDERWOOD Constitution allowed
manners to vote, One OF the amendments
made to that Constitution In 1876 was 'n'
,ended 10 take that privilege away Irom
them. The Rekdiuster Judge IN A'eAau-
drja, however, lately came to the CONCLUSION
chat there wss an easy way OF evad'ng Tue
cous,itutiosai provision that the cap'ta''on
tax required by law for the preceding year
must be paid as a prerequisite 10 Vo''"t'
He exempted a number OF negroes from the
uavmert 81 the capitation tax for the pur-
poscet making them voters, suppos'ng toa'
Al there was no tax required OF them oy law
,hev cou,d vote as paupers. This is not q
new view OF the constitutional provision
hpt one which has been taken by respec'a-
ME authority. Nevertheless, the cowmis-
sioners OF election In Alexandra reused
last Thursday to allow these couft'maue
paupers 10 vote; and there II Complaint VI
their action. Was 1t Unstable!
We do not think there can be any DOUBT
that the Legislature which proposeu .ne
amendment and the voters who ratineu u
intended 10 prevent paupers from voting
The words "required by law" were en-
pioyed by the trainers OF the amendment
rather than the words zone dollar" then
and now the amount Of the capitation TAXI
because the Constitution elsewhere left the
amount Of that tax TO be fixed by the Legs
lature nj one dollar or less. IL is competent,
therefore, for the Legislature 10 DIX tue
amount of the capitation tax at any sum
ess than one dollar. There was no other
reason, we Judge, why in the amendment
the words "required by law" were used.
Neither the trainers Of the amendment nor
the voters who ratified it ever supposed Tor
one moment that its language was so am
biguous as that even the Legislature itself,
much less a county judge, could evaoe IL by
exempting paupers from the payment OF the
capitation tax.
Can the Legislature itself do away with
the capiiation tax! This question was
raised among the members Of the General
Assembly during its session OF last winter,
and decided in the negative, so we under
stood at the time. The best opinion seemed
to be that that body had power to reduce
1t to a very small amount, but not to abol.
ish 1t entirely. II this opinion be correct,
then ii necessarily follows that the Legisla-
ture cannot confer upon any court the
power TO make voters by exempting per-
sons from the payment OF the capitation
tax. 1t would be an easy way to change
the constitutional provision back TO what it
was when il left UNDERwooD's hands. 1t
would be to give TO county judges power
never exercised by any other body than
Constitutional Convention, or by the voters
tbemse elves and the Legislature acting in
conjunction. We cannot think that the
Legislature can thus evade the constitu-
tionaI provision as it stands, or empower
the county courts 10 create new class OF
voters not recognized by the Constitution.
We trust that the paupers who were refused
the privilege Of voting in Alexandra will
have the question involved decided by the
Supreme Court OF Appeals.

LOCKED IN EACH OTHERS ARMS IN DEATH.
baltimore american. The bodies Of John
n. BowIey and Edward Willis, the two
poor little colored boys who were drowned
in Curtis's creek on Saturday last under
circumstances detailed in the American OF
Sunday, have been found by Mr.. Ringrow,
in whose service they were employed at the
time OF their death. The bodies were
found floating on top of the water locked
In each others arms in photographic,
showing conclusively that when the little
boat turned over and they were thrown out
they had seized hold Of each other in their
terror, and thus one had aided in drowning
the other by impeding his efforts. Mr..
Rngrow found them, brought the bodies
ashore, and buried them in the sand with
out any collins. Their friends, however,
are taking up collection for the purpose
Of having them decently buried.

Proceedings OF the Convention.

IBy Associated Press.I
CHICAGO, June 2.-The Convention was
called to order at Z. M.
At the request OF Senator Cameron, Sec
rotary Keogh read the call. Senator Came
ron briefly addressed the Convention, re-
ferring TO the bitterness which had attended
the preliminary canvass, which, he hoped,
would now disappear in the air, and The de-
termination TO put in nomination for Presl-
dent the strongest candidate, and one WHO
would command the respect OF the civilized
world take its place. He counselled har-
monious and united action.
Senator George +. HOar was elected tenn
porary chairman unanimously.
MIR. HoAR's SPEECH.
Messrs. Davis of Texas, Frye of Maine,
and Raum OF Illinois were appointed COM
mittee to conduct Mr.. Hoar 10 the char.
Mr.. Hoar, in taking the platform, addressed
the Convention at some length. He said the
function Of this Convention, il wisely used,
was that OF naming a man whom the people
would make President. Reference to the
nomination Of Lincoln twenty years ago
was greeted with applause. Lincoln had
gone to rest, but his associate on the ticket,
Hamln. was here to-day in full vigor, still
discharging actively his duty 10 his country
and his party. [Applause.]
He reviewed briefly the history OF the
late war and its political incidents and con-
sequences, and criticised the policy Of the
Democratic party in that connection. That
party, he claimed, was to-day actuated by
an old rebel spirit, and ia the North. South,
East, and West, IL was IL party OF fraud,
oppression, and the overriding OF justice.
In Maine it ambitiOusly sought TO pilfer
The whole State. [Applausr.l While the
Republican party, on the 9th er hand. tells
us Of rebellion subdued, VI slaves en-
franchlsed, Of sound currency restored, OF
flags floating everywhere honon'd and re-
spected.
In conclusion, Hoar said he would dis
charge his duties rs chairman fairly and
without respect TO persons.
SECRETARIES AND sTEYOGRAPHER.
The following were appointed tempo rary
secretaries John ii. Roberts, OF Ilinois;
G. l.. Magee, Of Pennsylvania; also, Charles

From our Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2-l0:40 p.
M.-The hotels are comparatively quiet to-
night.
Mr.. Adams, OF the Washington Star,
telegraphed at O'Clock as follows "The
action Of the Committee on Contested Seats
tonight defeated Grant"
At 10 o'clock General Boynton, the we'll
known Washington correspondent, tele-
graphed as follows: 81 regard Grant as
surely beaten, and the Grant managers are
laying plans to beat Blaine next"
These and other like kilograms have

The Field Against Grant.

NEW YORK. June "A Chicago special
says: The field in opposition 10 the eX-
President is made up OF Blaine men, Sher.
man men, Edmunds men, Washburne men,
Window men, and so on. They all talk to-
gether against the third term, and present
an appearance OF unity on that sentimental
point, but on all points that are not merely
sentimental they are pulling different ways.
IL needs no very penetratiye insight TO
discover that the mere sentimental obiec.
ton 10 a third term is not strong enough TO
hold the corps together. There is In il no
positive purpose; 1t Is mere negation. in
cited by "A feeling having no sound reason
for its basis. To large number Of those
who profess ii, it Is nothing that furnishes
or can furnish common motive Of united
action. Among men whose actual purposes
divert them with three or four distinct
factions there is nothing in it to weld the
different factions into one coherent mass.
The opposition to the eX-President is not
an army, nor even body OF allies for an
aggressive purpose. IL is at best only a
body OF allies for mere temporary pur-
pose OF defence. Its organization Is that Of
a confederacy OF parties rather than that Of
party. Each camp has its own independ-
ent commanders, over which there Is no
superior. Messrs. Chandler, Frye. ana
Hale, OF the Blaine camp, and Messrs. Gar
field, Foster, aud Dennison, OF the sherman
camp, can mutually agree to cooperate. but
there Is no common head to plan, order, and
direct the cooperation. So OF all the other
camps. The forces OF each will receive their
orders from their own particular chiefs, not
from a common chief. II all were under

THE SHERMAN HEADQUARTERS.

On the lower door Of the Grand Pacific
Hotel, In the Appellate Court room, are the
Sherman headquarters. Governor Foster,
II ONO, is one OF the most active workers
in this delegation, and has won many
friends for the Secretary Of the Treasury.
Any one who has noticed the movements Of
the Sherman managers must have been I'M
pressed with the idea that the southern vote
In the Convention for the Secretary has not
been exaggerated by his friends, for many
OF the cOlored delegates from south Of the
Ohio on their arrival in Chicago have re-
ported Immediately AZ the Sherman head
quarters, expecting to be furnished with
board and lodging by the people they have
found there.
General Garfield and Governor Dennison
have been among the most active managers
for Mr.. Sherman, and their efforts have been
seconded by those OF General Warner Bate
man aud several OF the representatives OF
Ohio in the House OF Representatives.
The feeling between the Blaine and Sher-
man managers has been OF the most cordial
character. They are frequently seen in each
others rooms, and In the contest against
any unit rule they have co0peratcd most
cordially. The Grant party has been looked
upon as the common enemy, and 3gainsl
that the united guns Of the anti.third.term
people have been directed. -Nep York

PHGNIX. Augusl

PHGNIx, Angus; 9.
 In reply to certain editorial in the last issue of the Expositor, stat ing that when "a gentleman present was called upon for speech, he arose to his feet and said that while he always voted the Republican ticket heretofore, he could not do so this time, as he had fought under General Hancock and knew what he was, and would support the Demo cratic ticket for his sake,'" I would state that no such remarks were ever made by any speaEer at the Republi can meeting at Tempe. The gentle man alluded to spoke as follows: The nomination of Hancock by the Democrats is good one, and the fight between the two generals will be hard contested one I have fought under Hancock several years, followed him through many battles, and have found him to be q good soldier. Many speakers on both sides who talk about war, rebellion, secession, slavery, etc, have never smelled powder, or shouldered a musket fot their country" The Ex- positor will be badly mistaken if il thinks that the nomination of Han cock has induced another good Re publican of Phoenix to go over 10 thc enemy, Never, my dear friend, the 2d day of November will show whether the speaker referred to is a or d Democrat The party composing said article in the Exr rositor did not have courage enough 10 sign his name to it, as he knews very well that he told an in ferna1 lie, and the Expositor should | nUt publish such articles as an edi- iorial. bui have II as a correspondence with the name of his correspondent, 1r bis initials, attached to it.
