and there being no candidate for political
honors just now, the work Of vituperatIon
has ceased, and our citizens have settled
back intotheir customary quiet, deter
mined to make the best of the situation,
having too much confidence in American
institutions to bolieve that our salvation
as people depends upon the election of
this or that candidate. Those who have
been defeated in the past canvass have
only to thank God for the inestimable
privileges they enjoy, and nerve them
selves for the future conflict over coming
issues.

A New York letter, dated on the goth
ult., states that every days observations
at Castle Garden tends to confirm the
prediction made earlier in the season, that
foreign immigration this year will far
outstrip that of last season, large as that
was. The total arrivals from the 1st of
January to date, thus far foot up 1886,
against 29,Ssl same time last year, an in
crease of 1875, and this includes only
nineteen days in the present month. The
total for the entire month last year was
27,708; this season, from present indica-
tions, it will not be far from 10000.
Mr.. Jackson, New York Superintendent
of immigration, says: Il predict total
of 100000 in May, against less than IL
900 same period in 1881. That is the
month in which the Scaudenavians desire
to take passage, and the Thlngvalla line
is now prepared to give them large ac-
commodations from Copenhagen direct.
All the steamship companies, for that
matter, are multiplying their facilities.
Tickets can be purchased whole year in
advance, and there has been such de-
mand for them the past few months that
the meaning of it cannot be mistaken
Every steamship that company can pos
sibly procure this season will find full en-
ployment in carrying living freight, and
we look for result that will he astonish-
ing" Another official says: The Ger
man element predominates, and it is to be
noticed that since the commencement of
this year it is the better class of people
that have come, that is, farmers with
means. Out of $50 that arrived last
week, 700 were what we call travellers
men who visit various parts of the coun-
try, and when they find location that
suits them they buy the land and settle
down as farmers. About the usual per-
centage of other natonalities have reached
here this year, the Irish excepted. These
do not come in large numbers until. April
sets in, but May is their favorite month";

The Monticello Constitution, which
tavors a revision of the Constitution
through Convention, would guard the
ballot-box by the incorporation of pro-
vision in the Constitution requiring the
payment of poll-tax, cor some similar
small item Of revenue" as a requisite to
voting. The election of county officers
by the people, without some restriction
on suffrage, the Constitution sees would
work irreparable injury to the "black
belt. We quote what that paper says
on the subject
There are special reasons ,why provision of
the character under consideration, should be in
corporated in Constitution for Florida In
many counties three-fourths of the population is
constituted of that class of citizens who, only a
few years ago, were untutored bondsmen their
natural ignorance and peculiar modes of life
innate superstition and predisposition, to be in
1uenced by the vagaries of designing scoundrels
coupled with fixed determination to remain
clanish, would create of them dangerous ee-
ment under a Constitution providing for local
self-gOvernment, unless held in check by the in
corporation in the fundamental law, that suffrage
must depend upon the payment of po-tax, or
some similar small item of revenue. And the
principle enforced would itself have tendency
to elevate the colored man. He would have
higher respect for, and appreciate the right of
suffrage, and feel that he was not privileged
pauper directing the administration of govern
ment Place no restrictions upon, or rather con-
ditions prerequisite for the exercise of the ballot,
however, and in very short time many of our
best agricultural counties would be bankrupted
and depOpuated. With every local Office filed
by ignorant or corrupt and vicious " suffrage
singers" or the base leaders who would avail
themselves of the situation to secure control of
the records, the revenues and the treasury, of
course the wealth, the intelligence and virtue of
the counties referred to would find the old home
stead intolerable, and would fee to other fields
and pastures green.
Under these circumstances we are constrained
to insist upon the Incorporation in the new Con.
sttution of the great and vital principle, that the
purity, sacrednesO and usefulness of free ballot
must be hedged with conditions precedent to its
exercise. 1t is our only savation-the only
hope for prosperity and happiness in the black
heltn
