The voters of Rhode Island on Wednes

The voters of Rhode Island on Wednes-
day adopted an amendment to the State
Constitution forbidding the manufac ture and
sale of liquor, and the prohibitionists went
almost wild with joy over their victory. AT
ter while they will awake to sense of the
fact that the ratification of form of words
does not effect revolution in human ma.
ture. The Iowa prohibitionists thought also
that they had abolished the use of liquor by
popular vote two or three years ago, but q
careful inquiry by State Senator Sutton a
few weeks ago showed that the number Of
places where liquor was sold had increased
since the amendment was adopted.-N. y.

SUITS TO ENFORCE STATE OBLIGATIONS

SUITS TO ENFORCE STATE OBLIGATIONS.
Suits have been begun in Raleigh, n. C.,
against the Governor and auditor Of the
State with the object Of forcing the levying
and collection Of the special taxes imposed
in several acts Of the North Carolina Assem-
bIy Of lSGS-G9, under which the special taxes
bonds of North Carolina were issued. These
bonds aggregate 81 ,00000D, and Tho special
taxes imposed were sufficient to meet the
annual interest. Subsequent legislation for
babe State officers to collect these special
taxes and an amendment to tho constitu-
ton forb'!s the Legislature to pay anything
either on the interest or principal without
submitting the matter TO the people. BE-
fore this various suits have been brought in
the federal courts without avail to enforce
the rights of The auditors. The Plaintiffs
rely upon the act of Congress passed March
5, 1875, extending the jurisdiction OF the
federal courts 10 all cases arising under the
constitution between the citizen of State
and the State itself to force The officers Of
the State 10 collect the special taxes without
regard to hostile legislation.

In commenting upon the independence of
democratic officials the Fredericksburg Ne'rs
wisely says:
"As to democratic Congressman learning
to do as they id please, that is what is
and has been the matter with the democrat
ic party for the past twenty years or more
Men are placed in prominent position, and
then forget their obligations to the party
that placed them in power, and do as they
please whether it is to the interest of their
constituency or not. Cleveland has been
trying that policy since be has been in Office,
and the consequence is, that Madison, Wis
consin, the home of Postmaster General Vi
las, which, since the war, has never given
less than 900 dem ocratic majority, has
changed from its usual 200 to 500 demo
cratic majority, aud has gone republican by
500 majority"

ACCORDING TO the GAzErTE's Washing
ton correspondence yesterday General Ma.
houe not only refused to sustain his COL
leagues motion to take up his resolution for
tie consideration of nominations in open
session, but looked as if he enjoyed that
colleagues sad discontinue. The current
and accredited rumor concerning these two
misrepresentation of Virginia in the United
States Senate is that if they ever had any
respect for each other, which is hardly pos.
sible, it has long since been dissipated, and
that their personal relations now are any
thing else than friendly, and that Mr.. Rid
dleberger is open in his denunciations Of
the personal character of General Malone.
If the old adage be true, some honest Vir
ginians will now get their due.

Poor Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER suffered anoth-

republican colleagues in the Senate yester.
day, nearly all of whom, no matter whether
they really favor it or not, will vote for open
sessions of their body during the considera-
ton of nominations, when the vote on that
question shall be taken, but only four of
whom voted for bis motion yesterday that
the question should be taken up then. Had
any other Senator made the motion it
would have been adopted. Mr.. Riddleber-
ger goes into caucus with the republicans
because he is tired of tiocking by himself, and
has no where else to 60, but the republicans
are heartily sick of him, and sincerely wish
that he would take himself off as Senator
Jones has done.
