MANY WILL NOT VOTE
PROPOSED QUALIFICATIONS FOR
ELECTORS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Only Educated People and Those
Who own Property to BE Allowed
to ReEister-No Divorce Law.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 1.-South Caro-
lima occupies the unique position among
the States Of the Union of being the only
which has no divorce law and has
never had. The constitutional convention
this morning after a hard fight. by a vote
of eighty-six to forty-nine, adopted a sec
ton of the Constitution forbidding the
granting of divorces for any cause what
ever, and not allowing recognition Of
divorces granted in other States.
A dispatch from London, dated Oct. 2,
says: The Times and the Chronicle give
leading places in their foreign columns this
morning to special kilograms regarding the
South Carolina constitutional convention.
The Chronicle, in leader on this subject,
says: "A very serious problem has sud-
denly leaped to the front in the troubled
politics of the United States. The negro
question may completely overshadow the
currency and the tariff issue in the presi-
Dental election"

commenting on the engagement between
the Duke Of Marlborough and. Miss Con-
suelo Vanderbilt: British mammas and
their daughters will soon be clamoring for
protection if all the prizes In the matrimo-
nial market are to fall to American dam
sells. The mania for titles inherent in the
Anglo-Saxon is in vain to Rontend against.
But the matter is somewhat serious to the
United States. That country must be a
great loser through the accumulations of
it's wealth crossing the Atlantic. If this con-
tinues, the United States will do well to
manufacture the coveted article at home,
for 1t is a wooden nutmeg that is easily
bought. The existence of titles. 1t is true,
Is not in accordance with the simplicity
of republican institutions; but in view of
the heavy drain this might be overlooked
and the parents of any girls might be al
lowed to buy her a title, say for f200. 900
G1 0,OO0) The public treasury would thus
be filled with dollars and the girl would
remain at home. There would still be the
difficulty of finding husbands in the home
market. for the Americans are as strongly
opposed to becoming rich through their
brides as the British noblemen are in favor
of this mode of enrichment"

Movement to Revive New YOrlk's Com
mittee Of Seventy.
NEW YORK. Oct. la movement was
put on foot to revive the committee OF
seventy to create similar body to take
the steps necessary to bring about a union
of all anti-Tammany forces. This move
ment, is inspired by the action Of the Good
Government Clubs convention last night in
nominating a ticket against the advice of
a majority of executive committee. The
chances for success were considered good by
those who took the initiative. Dr. G. II.
Parkhurst has telegraphed as follows to
Charles Stewart Smith, who is at present
at Stamford, Conn: Our only chance is to
hold a mass meeting and create new
committee of seventy. Last nights incon-
siderate ard inharmonious action cannot
but fall dead" DR.. Parkhurst is confident
that a combination of anti-Tammany organ
izations and electors is possible. He attrib-
utes the action Of last night to youthful
enthusiasm and excessive zeal" He says
that the Good Government clubs, while
claiming to be the successors of the COM
mittee of seventy, have not taken up the
duties and purposes of the committee, and
that therefore the only thing to do is to
recreate the committee.
