THIS is NEW HAMPSHIRE.

A convention for the revision Of the con.
stitution Of New Hampshire has been sitting
AT Concord and has adjourned after framing
nine amendments, These provide for the
prohibition of trusts for the extension of
the suffrage to women; for a tax upon in.
heritanccs and franchises; for an educa.
tional qualification Of the suffrage; to strike
the word Protestant from the bill of rights;
to establish voting precincts; to place rep.
rescntaton in the legislature upon new
basis to extend the criminal jurisdiction of
police courts and to require the examination
of commissioned officers in the militia
These provisions would pass unnotced
under ordinary circumstances. but in view
OF the protest Of Northern statesmen against
recent Southern constitutional changes. II
is proper TO ask Mr. Crumpacker what he
is going to do about that educational quail.
icstiou
It matters not whether the test is broad
or narrow, the principle is that State may
deny the franchise to sucn citizens rs do
not conform to certain requirements
II the principle is wrong in Virginia it is
wrong in New Hampshire, In truth, New
lDuBldnu mas always neeu more SAtIemt
than the Southern commemorative. 1t will
be observed that New Hampshire is just
now dropping the old Purtanism of special
consideration for Professionals
There is neither soundness nor sincerity in
the crusade against Southern constitutions.
IT, is a miserable residue OF tho madness
which marked the abolition movement. 1t
is not thoughtful Federalism or a paternal
( concern for the negro whose ignorance
makes him the seeming object of dislran-
/ chisement It is a spirit of malevoleut par
/ tisanship and sectional hatred
But it will spend itself in advertising the
meaness of IT'S promoters, for the country
has outgrown it, and intelligence viii pre-,

South America There IS doubt IS p the cor

II is also the opinion Of Washington that
