For several years this has been urged and is no new question, but no Legislature has yet been found willing to propose such an amendment to our State Constitu tion. Our legislators; seem afraid of it as much so as of the dog-law and are not willing to risk their re election upon it. "While no doubt a majority of the members-elect of the next Legislature are convinced of the propriety and justice of this measure, yet we do not. believe that they will Aoie for it. We do not un derstand how any fairmindtd man can oppose it. Voting is a privilege conferred iqion and not a light that belongs to the citizen. It does not seem jnst that those who do not bear the burdens of the government should enjoy its privileges. "We aie decided ly of the opinion that the man who is liable to poll-tax and does not pay it, should not be allowed to vote." Of course there are many persons not liable to poll-tax, or sjecially exempt ed, and tbey should be allowed to -vote as heretofore, but when an able bodied man is called upon to pay his poll tax and refuses to do it, he ought not to be allowed to vote with those who do pay. This seems common fairness. According to our existing laws, one-fourth of the taxes collected from polls is applied to the support of the poor, and the remaining three-fourths to the public schools. All of us will admit that thess are worthy objects j and tu-e entitled to all the money that ! the law intends them to have, and j yet, because so manv persons do not pav then poll tax, our paupers and j r " 11 puonc bcuoois ai-c aepnvea oi a large ; portion of their revenues. If this I poll-tax qualification for suSrage was enforced our paupers and public schools would receive every dollar in tended for them, for every man's tax would be paid. TVe believe that this qualification would not disfranchise anvbodv, but would insure a certain collection of the poll-tax. The tax oi every man wouia be paia no man would be deprived of his vote and our paupers and public schools thus be greatly benefited. Then, why not adopt bo beneficial a measure 1 THE NATIONAL LIBERAL LEAGUE. This is the name of an associalion that should receive the condemnation of all God-fearing and decent people. Their last annual Congrees was held in the city of Chicago daring the month of September, and a copy of their proceedings has been sent us. This League is conrposed of both men and women, of Infidels, Free thinkers, Free-lovers and all such characters. To give an idea of the purposes of the League we copy from one of their resolutions the following: -That aT laws in regard to marriage, which should be a civil contract, and in regard to divorce, births, and burials, should be placed on a purely secular and scientific basis, and have their justification only in their use to society." Suppose such sentiments should prevail in our land what would be come of the country ? And yet such are the avowed sentiments of many of the most enlightened and best ed ucated men of the North : we say "of the North because as yet the South is "solid" against all such damnable doctrines. Prominent among the speakers at the late Congress of this League was the notorious infidel, Bob Ingersoll, who was recently intro duced to an audience in such compli mentary terms by Henry Ward Bee- j ciier a pretended Preacher of the Gospel! We trust that our people of the South may ever remain "solid against all these"" isims" that prevail bo extensively at the North. THE SPEAKERSHIP. The names of several gentlemen have been suggested for the position of Speaker of the House of Repre sentatires in our next General As sembly, and among them we notice that some of our exchanges have mentioned in complimentary terms the name of our distinguished county man, Hon. John Manning. "VYe are authorized, however, by that gentle man to state that, while he duly ap predates the compliment paid him, ret he is not a candidate for thathigh office, and we must add we at e pleased that he is not, for we quite agree with our esteemed contemporary, the An son Times, in saying that he "could do his State more service upon the floor " The legal learning of such a lawyer as Mr. Manning preeminent ly fits him for tho position of Chair man of the Judiciary Committee, and his safe conservatism will render him a moist prudent "Leader of the House." We think without doubt that in tins position he could render his State far greater service than in the Speaker's chair, and we doubt not this is the opinion of all who know the man and the duties of the position": ELECTION TRUEGl LARI Election irregularities some limes j defeat the people's choice, and the pop-! ular voice is suppressed by the negli- i gence of the officials who conduct ' the election. Several instances of j this occurred at the late election,' though fortunately none of them ma-1 termliv affected the result. Wo no-! ticnthatin the Stale of Indiana a i Hancock candidate for elector was ; elected, because in six counties the ' ivnnfiofhiq opponent wis bv some I name of his opponent wa, bj some mistake omitted from the ticket.
