The Suffrage Problsm in the South.

From the Springfield Mass Republican end,
Two southern states. Louisiana and Vir-
glula, are struggling with the suffrage prob
lem A reform league has teen formed in
Louisiana whose OBJECT is to secure such
amendments to the constitution OF the state
as will ENABLE the adoption of qualifications
for the suffrage The tavorite plan seems to
be to follow the example of Mississippi and
insert In the constitution a clause requiring
all applicants for registration 10 be aDIe to
read and write, or to understand the consti-
tuition when read to them This is the
Mississippi plan which has worked well
since its adoption. Louisiana has quite
floating population who vote in whatever
part of the state they may happen TO he at

residence and impose a poll tax. The Aus.
tr9llan ballot is also strongly advocated and
will probably be adopted. In Virginia the
controversy is over the repeal Of the present
election laws, which are designed to put all
the elet tioa machinery into white hands, so
that negro supremacy may he infallibly

sneed the Work

Senator Hill had a conference with a
large number of merchants and manlfac-
turers in New York on Saturday relative
to the Wilson bill. They pointed out sew
cral particulars in which they would like
the bill changed, but they endeav-
ored to impress especially upon him that
it was Of the greatest im9rtance that
whatever is to be done Shall be done
quickly.
In all parts OF the country the desire is
that the tariff bill shall be disposed of as
soon as possible. There are interests, of
course. that are Contending for changes
in the bill, but what nine-tenths of the
people want is speedy action upon
il. The uncertainty is doing
vast amount of harm to business
interests. This is the time for spring
and summer trade. and business men are
afraid that the season viii pass before
there viii be a settlement Of the tariff
question, and consequently they will not
be able TO do the normal amount of bust
ness It is not to be wondered at there
fore. that business men tried to impress
on Senator Hi that they want action
uTon the bill.
They do not, Of course. take into con
sideration the difficulties in the way of
prompt action. They see only that the
business season will slipaway before they
are able to do anything if the present un-
certainty as to what duties are
to be imposed is continued
much longer They would prefer to
have a bill which has Objectionable feat
ures rather than have the bill delaycd.
A strong public sentiment is being
brought to bear upon the Senate in be
half Of speedy action, the effect Of viii h
is pretty certain to be to cut down the
debate upon the measure. Tarf
speeches changed very few, if any, votes
in the House, and they are not likely to
change any in the Senate. If senators
want to say something to their constitu-
ents on the tariff let them write out
their speeches and have them printed in
the Record. They should not take up
the time OF the Senate with them while
the country needs and is demanding &c

In the matter of the depredations of the
pirates upon the wreck of the kearsarge.
the state department doubts that it could
make any valid claim upon the govern
ment of the wreckers for the restoration
of the property or the payment of its
value In 1864 the American frigate San
Jacinto went ashore on No-Nama Kew,
east of the Bahamas. A guard was left
on board and the flag was kept flying, and
the captain removed the remainder of his
crew to convenient position on shore for
the purpose of guarding the wreck until
help could arrive Notwithstanding these
arrangements, swarm of wreckers from
Nassau island drove the guard OFF and
seized and looted the wreck, which they
claimed was fotsam found on British soil.
and threatened the captain and crew with
death if they offered resistance. Seward
was the Secretary of State, and by his
direction no claim against the British
government was ever made. With this
precedent in mind, the question arises.
would it be safe for the wrecking party
from Boston which will consist OF sixty
persons, to approach Roncajor in case
there remains anything of value on the
wreck, 1t may be depended upon that if
anything of value remains, the pirates
have not left the scene.

The information which Capt. Brown, of
the steamer Elliot brought to this port
of the landing of a British force at Blue
fields makes it clear that the landing was
not by the authority Of the British gov
eminent. The captain of the British war
vessel acted, it seems. entirely upon his
own responsibility in the matter. and
then went to Colon to cable for instruo-
tions from his government. The British
force was landed from the war ship
Tomas at the request of the inhabitants
of the Mosquito reservation, who were
terrified by the appearance in Bluefelds
of armed Nicaraguans, who took posses
sion of the public buildings and hoisted
the Nicaraguan flag
Bluefelds. the capital of the Mosquito
reservation is only seventy miles from
Greytown, which is at the Atlantic ter
minus of the Nicaragua canal. When it
was first reported that a British military
force had been landed at Bluefelds it was
thought that it was the purpose of the
British government to obtain foothold
on the Mosquito coast for the purpose of
eventually exercising some influence over
the Nicaragua canal From what Capt.
Brown says there is no such purpose, as
the military force was landed without the
knowledge of the British government
The Mosquito coast forms the greater
part of the Atlantic seaboard of Near
aqua. This country and England have had
disputes about the occupation of the
Mosquito reservation, and finally, in 1850
it was agreed by treaty that neither of
them should occupy, fortify, colonize or
exercise diminion over the Mosquito coast
or any part of Central America" If.
therefore, the captain of the Tomas
should receive instructions to maintain
force at Bluefelds a very interesting
question would be raised between this
country and England 1t is probable.
however from what Capt. Brown SAYS,
that the British force will be ordered
away from Bluefelds and the incident
will not grow into any greater Importance
than 1t already has Unless the British
government shows a purpose to occupy
the Mosquito coast the resolution offered
in the Senate a day or two ago by Senator
Morgan, relative to the landing of Brit
ish military force there will be readily
disposed of. There may be a question,
however, as to whether the captain of the
British warship did not exceed his au-
thority. That is matter, however, be-
tween him and his government

Louis kossuth's vitality is wonderful
During the last ten years the newspapers
have had his obituary in type probably
ten times, in anticipation of an announce
ment of his final taking of. But, not
withstandinr his age, he has survived.
The old patriot has outlived his genera
ton and his kind. There are not now in
Europe such revolutionists as was Kos
suth in his prime, He was passionate
and heroic he aimed at great results, to
be achieved in great way. To-day the
revolutionists of Europe are miserable,
unshaven, wild-eyed followers Of the red
flag, who shoot individuals in the back
and drop dynamite bombs upon the
heads Of innocent and defenseless people.
The developments in the Isaiah Harden
murder case make it appear that the per
son or persons who made way with him
were fends incarnate. Not only had the
woman, Washington. the nerve to kill the
man, but it appears that she, and posi-
bly, others, lived for days and weeks in
the room which is supposed to have been
the scene of the crime, and breathed an
atmosphere polluted by decaying frag-
ments of their victims body packed away
in water cooler on a shelf in an adioin-
ing shed. That the woman's mind should
have wandered when she was placed in
jail after having passed several weeks
amid such horrible surroundings, is not
to be wondered at. The wonder is, if she
was evera rational being, that she has any
reason left. Her depravity is something
astounding, and her legal punishment
with those who are guilty with her, if
there by any, should be swift and dread
full.

IL appears, from what Capt Brown, of
the steamer Elliot. said to the MORNING
News reporter with regard to the wreck
OF the Rearsage, that should the govern
ment persist in its attempt to save the
hulk it might be a fruitless task. The
decks of the vessel have been swept
clean by the seas and the pirates Of Old
Providence and Colombia, and it is not
likely that the pirates have left ANYTHING
worth bringing away inside of her. The
huh lies in dangerous place. and has
probably pounded until the seams are all
open and the possibility of floating it
away reduced to minimum. The
wreckers, who We're to have sailed from
Boston yesterday, may be able, however,
to bring away the old ships timbers and
plankiug, which enthusiastic admirers of
the craft might have made up into desks.
