Yesterday my Democratic friend wanted the
Morgan bill, when he knew ne couldn't get II. To-
day when he have the Morgan BILL he objects
to II.
This bill gives to New-York City the right OF
eminent domain-this and nothing more-the right
which every village in the State OF New-York now
enjoys. We the rights that the city OF
Syracuse and the city Of Middetown enjoy. The
Ramapo Water Company to-day enjoys greater
powers OF condemnation than does the city OF New
York We ask for the powers OF condemna-
ton.
Mr.. Slater then adduced figures to prove the
immense waste Of the public funds Of New-York
which would be incurred by purchasing It's
water from such a company as the Ramapo
company. He continued:

from the suffrage in the South by con-

The means resorted to to accomplish
this Acknowledgement has been substanti-
ally the same in all the states. A con-
stitutional convention has been called,
the negro has been prevented from voting
for delegates to it by fraud and lntimida-
ton, the convention has prepared and
adopted an amendment certain to dis
franchise all the blacks without disfran-
chising any considerable number of
white, the amendment has then
been submitted to the people
for ratification, and recourse has
been had to the shot gun to prevent its
opponents from voting. BY force and
fraud the whole negro population of five
of the most populous states in the South
have been compelled to submit to tn cir
own acknowledgements. This has gone on
in the fac3 and eyes of the whole country
and not word of effective protest has
been raised against it. Indeed, apparent
~ the North has lost all interest in the
subject, though the effect of the move
ment has been to make the Southern
white mans political power twice that

CURRENT COMMENT.
TALKS TOO MUCH.
(Providence Journal.l

Hon Webster Davis seems to have a
kind of Sianese twin in Hon. John Bar
rett. The former minister to Siam like
the former traveller in South Africa is
inclined to talk too much. 1t is q bad
habit in public life, particularly in cases
OF individuals who are in the public eye
simply because they are given to talk on
current events and matters in general.

rett, anyway?' expresses the feeling
many persons have for those whose chief
stock in trade is Willingness to speak

Ponsln Vaglia, who was with the King
when he was shot, has been dismissed

urge the King to have such escorts, and
that the latter absolutely refused. Now

After Pekin is reached and the ambas-
sailors are rescued, then whatH This is
a question that is already giving great
anxiety. Until the ambassadors are res
cued all the powers will have common
purpose and are likely to act in fair ac-
cord. But when this is accomplished,
and questions of indemnity for the past
and guarantees for the future come up
there is likely to be a wide divergence Of
views. The United States and France,
it is said, will be likely to be satisfied
with money ldemnity and apology, but
Russia, Germany and England will
probably demand territory. Already Rus
STA is said to be entering a vigorous pro-
test against the British proposal
to make Canton the future capital
of the empire. What to do with the EN-
press DOWager is another serious qu3s-
ton The English government is said to
have received conclusive proof that she
ordered the massacre of all forei gners in
the city, and naturally she would be Sc
leoted for punishment. But Lii Hung
Chang declares that If the Empress is
not protected he will join the anti-for-
eign element and raise a revolt all over
China. This the powers want to pre-
vent il possible, but they recognize that
if he saves the Empress his will be the
predominating influence in China, and
that they do not want because it would
enure to Russia S advantage to very
large extent. These are some of the
points of discord already in sight. Later
it can safely be predicted that there Will
be many more. This Chinese business is
likely to open whole Pandora box Of
evils.

THE SOUTH AND THE BALLOT.

THE SOUTH AND THE BALLOT.
Five Southern States have now practi
caIly disfranch ised- all their colored vot-
ers by constitutional enactments. They
are Louisiana, Mississippi, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and Virginia. The
enactments are not the same in all these
states, but they all accomplish the same
purpose, some in one way and some in
another. Mississippi's franchise law sets
up as condition precedent for the
suffrage ability to read and understand
the Constitution of the United States,
and has a commission to apply the test
1t is very seldom, in the opinion of this
commission, that a negro understands
the Constitution, and very seldom that q
white man does not. The Mississippi
plan has worked admirably, and prac-
tically all of the negroes have been dis
franchised by it. But it is not so auto
matte as the grandfather plan" and
requires to work it successfully COM
mission of men with easy consciences, or
no consciences at all, to apply the test.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the
grandfather plan has found more
favor, and is the one adopted in most of
the states Under this plan ignorant and
thriftless negroes and whites are ruled
out, and then the latter are let in by a
provision, which is broad,enough to cover
most of them, that no one whose ances-
tors had the suffrage previous to 1867
shall be disfranch1sed. Louisiana was
the first to invent this grandfather
plan, and most, If not all, the states
which have acted on the matter sincs
have adopted it. Only two states, Georgia
and Alabama, which have agitated the
subject of negro acknowledgements,
resorting to some plan to ac-
oomplish it, and in these states the objec-
tion is fast passing away ana all the signs
portend that they viii soon follow the
lead OF the other states that have a larger
negro population. Gov johnson held
the movement up in Alabama for
awhile, but subsequently the voters de-
clared overwhelmingly in favor OF it,
and constitutional convention will soon
bs called. Georgia has taken no action
as yet, but sentiment in favor of disfran-
chisement is said to be growing rapidly.
In the other states there has been no
movement simply because the negro
population is so small that it does not
have to be reckoned with In Tennessee
there is said to be the additional reason
that what negroes there are can be made
useful in helping pull through the Demo-
cratic ticket, which would be in danger
without them as Tennessee has q large
Republican electorate. When the states
that have disfranohise projects on foot
