A census bulletin just issued puts the
voting population Of New York State
that is, 81 years old and u~pward-at
LAOS, 75l, of whom G52, 094 are native,
536, sos foreign born and 30, 059 colored.
The total number of voting age in New
York City is 1886. O37, or nearly a fourth
Of the entire number in the State. Tho
most striking feature in the returns for
the metropolis is the enormous excess of
the foreign over the netive element. The
number Of native born in the city Of the
age specified is 100, 24l, and OF oolored
1852, while the foreigners foot up 207,-
3l4. These figures do not represent the
exact voting population, since they in
clude foreigners not naturallzed, and
other persons not entitled to vote, but
they are the nearest approximation to
the number of voters reported by the

HOPEFUL SOUTHERN WOMEN

i recent magazine article on the new
South SAYS that in many places the
women are working with spirjt and per
]sisteucc to reconstruct society for the
better. their lahors consisting in distrio-
utlng reading matter, informing the
young Of both sexes on home and social
duties under the changed conditions that
prevail. and urging and eneouraging young
men TO abandon the H~s.I=ss. useless ways
that sometimes are the result Of inherit
auce. but which have oitener come from
misfortune and disappointment. Woman's
influence has always been peculiarly
powerful in the South. There is 10
other section Of the country in which her
station is so exalted nor in which she Is
50 conscious Of her recognized power.
The spirit Of Southern women is pro-
verbal, while her sslf.sacrifcing devo-
ton to the cause that she believes TO be
right is beautifully exemplifed in the
conduct Of Mrs. Motto Of South Caro-
lima, who, during the revolutionary war,
handed q bow and arrows to a Cont
mental officer with which TO fire her own
elegant mansion in order to dislodge the
red coats who had taken refuge in it.
The present behavior Of the women Of
the South is characteristic Of her blood
and breeding, She is enthusiastic in the
pursuit. Of noble ends and is withal
practical and sensible in her plans for the
accomplishment Of noble and humane re-
quits. Her influence ID now taking the
place Of the hollow p~retensions Of Pc.
publican politicians from whom the ne
grocs begin to see that they will never
get the forty acres and q mule" Her
influence is further strengthening itself
by organization, and its results will he
more beneficial than anything that can
come from political effort. The whites
who once we're rich, the poor white trash
and the negro all need to know one and
the same thing before the South will be
as prosperous as she has every right TO
be they need to know that success in
lie depends not upon some one to look
up to, as slaves did to their masters, or
some one to command, as masters did
their slaves but that it depends upon
individual effort for self, and for that
larger self, the family.

A Desperate PugiIistic Battle Be-

The manly art Of se.f-deieuse is at
last being practiced by the women, and
Columbus is laughing over q meeting in
the rgped arena Of two handsome Young

got to work. Miss Morwjn sending a

Miss Stile returned the compliment with
a body blow that fairly staggered the
Morwin girl. There was a rapid exchange
of blows, and when the round was I'm

punishment.
When the second round was called Miss

FLOOD SUFFERERS.
a Movement ON Foot to Help Them by
the People of Memphis.

Yesterday afternoon there was small
! meeting at the Cotton Exchange to take into
consideration the sufferings of the people Cd
the lower Missis' ippi. Only about twenty
| five merchants were present, and the meeting
was not at all creditabe to the people OF this

by spirit of benevolence, well as wise
business foresight The business men Of
Memphis should inaugurate matters by sub
scribiDg literally themselves TO aid the suffer
ing people in the bottoms. Mr.. Hanausr
yrsterda Az had to move that meeting OF the
citizens be called for Saturday. This meet
ing should be largely attended, and goodiy
number Of subscriptions should come in.
The people below want money; they want II
badly and quickly.
All day long number of negroes had been
hanging around the Cotton Exchange under
the Impression that provisions were 10 be dis
tributed. An APPEAL reporter conversed
with several of them and found that they
were from Jones's and other precincts down
the river. Most of them came up the river
in skiffs, and all OF them are in most des-
titute condition. They reported that about
one hundred families were in great want in
their neighborhood. One negro had left
family Of half dozen souls in famished
condition, and his only hope was aid from
Memphis. "How do you live?" asked the
APPEAL reporter of one of the men. "We'se
had a hard time Of il and we can't hold out
much longer. We can't raise any money on
our stock, because nearly all OATS gone, and
we can't get nothing to feed de cattle with.
We can take our boats and row right up to

jr. The relatives and special friends of the
young couple were the only ones present.
The Rev. H. A. Jones, of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, performed the cere-
mony. The marriage was modest and sen
sible one, there being no attendants, and the
lady being dressed in handsome travelling
dress. The bride received a large num-
Der of elegant presents. Mr.. and Mrs. Lee
and Mrs. w. III. Goodlett made every body
feel at home, and an elegant repast completed
the general happiness. The young couple
left last night for Kentucky, which will be
their home.
