found the door closed and several eolored
people standing outside very much ex-
cited, who stated that a woman was in
side burning TO death. Upon opening
the door the woman was found living on
the floor, burned IN a most shocking man.
ner. Spencer Page stated that the old
woman was sitting by the fire smoking
when he went TO bed and went 10 sleep.
He was soon aroused by her cries. however,
and being sick and feeble with old age was
unable to render her any assistance. The

King Charles and to the q Dorr war " to ap-
parently justify the State of Rhode Island
for having one of, II not, the very worst
and most un- Republican Constitution which,
at that time, was more liberal In It's
franchise than any State in the Union.
Every male citizen, Write or black, over 81
years of aye, had the right OF suffrage
except foreigners; from them a property
qualification of real estate is required"
This is certainly liberality with vengeance.
DISTINGUISHING almost the entire foreign
population Of the State The spectacle can
be seen in that State to-day of the sons vot-
ing while their honored, gray-haired father
is denied that privilege. A fair sample Of
the beauty of the 'liberap' Constitution was
shown few years ago in the testimony be-
fore Congressional Investigating Com
mittee. A young lrishman enlisted In a
Rhode Island regiment at the breaking out
Of the rebellion, and by gallantry In action
and meritorous conduct, during almost
four years of arduons services, was raised
through the different grades, and
came home Major of the regiment.
While In the service he procured a
freedman" for a servant, and at the ex-
piration OF his term took his 'contraband'
back to his Rhode Island home. The result
was that when election day rolled around
the negro servant was eligible to vote, while
the white master, bearing on his body. fpyr
ulHereuI guDsnoG WO'-..,I. .s>,.tVeu III battle
lighting for his adopted country, was inell-
gible. another case was that of a gentle
man, formerly large property owner and
at one time a State Senator, who through
reverses of fortune became pennilese, having
when misfortune reached him given every
thing to his creditors. Yet this gentleman
and scholar was deprived of the right to
vote by the ''liberaP' Constitution of the
State of Rhode Island, simply because he
was born on foreign soil. Other instances
could be given did the space of the Record
permit, but the above will suffice to prove
that the present Constitution of the State of
Rhode Island was conceived In bigotry, in
tolerance and injustice.
