"Who said so?” bellowed Logan, furiously. “I don’t know who,” returned West, unabashed, “but I know it's so. ” “You are a liar!” howled Logan, and craning his neck over the railing he spat in the intruder’s face. The man slunk off, and Logan afterward remarked to a friend that he regretted not. having a mouthful of tobacco juice to make use of in punishing West’s audacity.

A New Author.

“I would like to take one of Bart's Works,” said a lady to the custodian of a circulating library. “Bart? lam not familiar with the author. Ido not think we have any of his works in our library-;” “OJ yes, indeed you have. I have seen the name in the cataloguge.” “Do you remember the titles of any of his works?” “Yes, I remember one. ” “And that was ?” “That was ‘The Last Days of Pompeii,’by E. Bulwer Lytton, Bart.’” Dos to it Globe. Take the place and attitude which belong to you, and all men acquiesce. The world must be just. It leaves every man, with profound unconcern, to set his own rate. Hero or driveler, it meddles not in the matter. It will certainly accept your own measure of your doing and "being, whether you sneak about and deny own name, or whether you see your work produced to the concave sphere of the heavens, one with the revolution of the stars.— B. W. Emerson.

QUALIFICATIONS OF VOTERS.

An Epitome of the Laws of the Several States Relating to the .Subject. Naturalization, Registration, and Residence Requisites—The Disfranchised Classes. Under the electoral system practiced in this country the States have the exclusive power of oeciaring, each-tor itself, which of the citizens shall vote,; but in no case.shall any persoh be excluded from voting on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The States, however, eanuot grant the franchise indiscriminately, for the National Government has the exclusive authority to declare who shall be citizens. Any State may adopt an educational or property franchise or condition, providing it applies equally, to all citizens. Under the Constitution of the United States "all persons bom or naturalized in the U nited States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United Statesand of the State Wherein they reside;" and "no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law." In all States the right of suffrage is limited to male citizens 21 years of age, except that in Colorado. Massachusetts, and a. few other States women are permitted to vote at school-district elections. There is a great lack of uniformity .in the suffrage laws of the several States, as the following will show: In Alabama the requirement is that the voter must be a citizen, or have d'eclared his: intention to become a citizen, must have been in the State one year, in the county three months, and in the voting precinct onc month. Indians, idiots, and men convicted of crime can not vote. In Arkansas, citizens, or those Who have declared .their intention to b* come such, except Indians, idiots, and criminals, may vote after a residence of one year in the State, six months in the eonnty, and one month m the voting precinct. Registration is prohibited as being a bar to suffrage. In California, only actual citizens can vote after having been one year in the State, ninety days in the county, and thirty days in the voting precinct. Registration is required by law, and Chinese, Indians, idiots, and convicts are excluded from voting —— In Colorado, citizens, or those who have declared their intention to become such, may vote after a residence of six months in the State, persons in prison only being excluded. Registration is required by the constitution. In Connecticut, actual citizens, except those unable to read and convicts, can vote after a residence of one year in the State, and six months in the county and voting precinct.

DANIEL’S ACCEPTANCE.

The Second Man on the Prohibition Ticke' Declares His Principles. 2 William Daniel, the Prohibition candidate foi Vice President, has issued his formal letter o acceptance of the nomination. It discusses in detail the basis qf prohibition, reriews th< growth and extent of the prohibitory law, shows wherein the sentiment is not utilized, that drinl demoralization is on the inert ase, that officials fail to enforce the law; it speaks of the policy of national and State Governments,, gives method for changing the policy, holds that the present parties are opposed to the reformat on. and pleads that the presence of the Prohibition party is a necessity. Mr. Daniel holds that the necessity for prohibition is based upon the lacts that the liquor traffic is the producing cause Of a large part of 1 - the crime, poverty, insanity, suicides, and diseases that exist in the land; that it is the great disturber of the public peace, as well a° the destroyer of domestic peace and happiness; that it renders life, liberty, and property insecure, and imposes upon the community heavy burdens of taxation without equivalent or consent; that its legitimate tendency is to produce “idleness, vice, and debauchery," and to create nuisances. The Supreme Court of the United Statesand the highest courts of the States have decided that laws entirely prohibiting the traffic are constitutional ; that "idlesness.vice, and debauchery" being cancers on the body politic, endangering its very life, there must of necessity be inherent . power in it to remove them, in order tnqjrevent its own destruction. In such decisions these courts have also held that these laws are for the protection of society, and not for the regulation or control of the conduct of the individual, and hence in no sense partaking of the character of “sumptuary laws, as they are so_ often falsely and knowingly styled by the liquor leagues and politicians of one of the great, political partie?; and that neither are they restrictive of "personal liberty,” except in so far as they restrain the individual from inflicting injury upon others or upon society. In all such cases the public safety must be the supreme law. The letter reviews the growth of the prohibition sentiment from the enactment of the Maine law in 1851 to the present day, and shows that the feeling is now regarded as a great force in a majority of the States of the Union. In spite of the strength of the sentiment, it is unorganized and of no great monetary and political power. There has been too much praying, preaching, and resolving until election day, and not enough steadfastness then. Mr. Daniel claims that the policy of the Government, as illiistrated in its jurisdiction over Territories and the District of Columbia, and the policy of many States, is to license the evil. He claims that the only way to change these policies is by the election of a straight Prohibition ticket, because the old parties are opposed to prohibition, and the suppression of the liquor traffic is a necessity.

THE DRUMMERS.

Points from Joe Mulhatton’a Letter of Acceptance. The committee appointed by the Drummers’ National Convention waited upon the Hon. Joseph Mulhatton, at Louisville, Ky., and notified him officially of his nomination for President of the United Scales. Mr. Mulhatton’a letter ot acceptance was placed in the hands„ of the committee. The principal points of interest in it are that the uprising of the drummer fraternity means a new era, when business men shall prevent professional politicians and the lower class from ruling the business interests of the country. It favors prohibition, because no drummer or business man can drink intoxicating liquors and be successful, it opposes convict labor, I ecausc it is a pernicious system of slavery, unconstitutional, and interferes with honest workingmen; it is brutal and cruel and a relic of barbarism. It favors retrenchment, reform, abolition ot war taxes; the surplus in the treasury to be a; plied at once to liquidating the public debt and lor public improvement.
