The Constitution ot Rhode Island
demands a property qualification from
all foreign born citizens who claim the
right to vote in that little State. At
tempts have twice been made to abol
ish this discrimination against foreign
born citizens, but each time the prop
osition was voted down by an over
whelming majority. suit is now
prndiapr in the United States District
C:vni-t at Providence, whereiu thec'aim
is t et up that the -prohibition is con
trary to the Fourteenth or Fifteenth
Amendment to the United States Con
stitntion. Since the suit waa com'
menced, the Supreme Court of the
United States has given judgment in a
case coming up from Missouri, in
i -
wh'ch a woman claimed the right to
vote, under the Fourteenth Amend-
tion. The privilege of suffrage was
not Ijfhl by wotuen, and therefore the
amendment did not confer it upon wo
ruri. As it was not in Rhode Island,
held by foreign-born citizens not pos
sessing the designated property quali
fication, it i claimed that by the de
cision of the S ipreme Court th-i Four
teenth Amendment makes no change
in his condition. The Ffteenth
Amendment refers only to the ques
tions of "race, color, or previous con
dition of servitude," and therefore
does not Kpply at all to the Rhoda Is
lam! case.
njisrit'f to M:t nt cAUOLiisa
It jot- peem a if there was a sys
1 - :n ;tic effort throughout the country
to iguorn No h Carolina and her peo
pie and institutions. It is confined to
v particular quarter of the Union and
is limited to no particular persons or
subjects. It peiv&des ali sections and
it eiabracei- all persons and subjects.
And our own people and especially
our own press are not altogether blame
less ia the m itter. While we see our
selves thus ignored, we throw up our
hats and cry lustily ia behalf o' 'those
who neg'eet us. We have seen the
press of North Carolina teaming with
com plimeuts of the public men of other
States, hih at the very time the pa
pers of those States hadnothingto say
even by way of commonplace eom
pliment of a distinguished North Caro
lina St mat r who had electrified the
Senate and the country by one of the
finest; oiations w dch had ever been
heard in a ball consecrated to the
memory of the liuest orators aud
statesmen of the Union.
But eveu in the smallestmatters this
neglect is ppparent. Reporters of our
enterprising Metropolitan papers, in
getting statistics of even thg smallest
importance write as if they were acting
under a general order to omit anything
in regard to Noith Carolina, as not of
sufficient cono rn to . fill space ' in
their otherwise very liberal and very
voluminous columns. And our papers
publ sh the information and dissemi
u ate it among its readers without a
word of protest or even of correction.
thus openly endorsing the treatment
which is Ly common consent bestowed
upon North Crrolina.
We have been lead to these remarks
by seeing republished in North Caro
lina papers an articlefrom the New
York .tribune ui on the new Congress.
I which professes to give interesting
1 statistics in regard to ihe , politics,
Tlllin Vmr rraa nrnfaaatvna
nd education of the members, and if
we may judge of the value of the in
formation by the accuracy with which
the last Bubjeet of the artiole is giveu,
it is worthless. It professen to give
the number of college graduates, and
the names of the institutions at which
they graduated. Six are attributed
to Yale, and three each to the Uni
versities of Virginii and New Jersey,
then came fire other institutions with
two graduates aob, then comes the
names of a half hundred other colleges
a-id schools in almont every State of
the Union, save and exoep; North
Carolina, including Germany and Scot
land, with one grad.iate cisch.
Now when the University of JMorth
Carolina has certainly five graduates
(probably more) among the members
of Congress, and some of them certain
ly among the ablest and best known of
their respective Houses, it does seem
a little singular that in all there particu
lar researches that the institution which
had the second largest number should
bo omitted. Senators Ransom, and
Representatives Waddell, Ashe, Davis
and Seales, of this State aro graduates
of the University of North Carolina,
and yet after naming almost every
high school in the country, these gen
tleman and their Alma Mater &.re em
braced among thoae who graduated at
"a few other colleges."
This may be and is a small matter,
bat it is the repetition of these small i
matters that wears out our patience.
If tcse statistics were of sufficient in
terest to bo published tiey should be
at least correct certainly such glaring
Injustice rhould nut be done our mem
bers and onr institutions.
We publish herewith a communica
tion from a friend in the Wes
tern portion of the State ; a
gentleman who has shown his
devotion to North Carolina upon the
field and in the councils of the State,
and particularly he ban demonstrated
hi.s interest in our city and port by his
legislative record. He has now seen
our city and his section united in close
C'.inmereiai relations, which has begun
under favor tble auspices,
A new trouble looms up in the fu
ture, looking to the seperation of those
who have been so auspiciously nuited,
and we ce.ll upon onr business men to
read carefully the subjoined commu
nication, and we leava the matter to
their better judgment for action :
WliMINOTOH AND THS WBT.
Messrs Editors:
It in an ill wind that biows no good
to any one. When by ehauge of the
guage on the North Carolina Railroad,
the current of the trade from th9 West
was checked on the East and North
East, our p ople little dreamed that
the old covenant of friendship between
Wilmington and the West would be
renewed by giving to the mountains; ea
sier aud more expeditious, social and
couimetcial intercourse with your an
cient city, thau we had hitherto enjoy
ed m ith any seacoat town.
Now that is a fact accomplished, we
rejoice, that, in the development of the
West, Wilmington has ai opportuuity
to reap the reward of her liberality in
the past ia advocating State aid aud
m ikiug individual subscriptions toWes
teru iniprovemuts,and especially when
we remember that New Hanover then
stood alone iu the East combattin-r the
parsimonious spirit of her neighbors.
The writer disapproved f tuo pro
tests made to Gov. Brogdeu by med
dlesome democrats and sore-headed
republicans against the appointment of
of Mr. Canady, because he thought, Mr.
Ca lady, with all his political iniquity
would still prove true as a representa
tive of th-a commercial interests of
Wilmington, aud womd xert.his in
fluenco to facilitate interconrse with
the people of the mountains, and to
diminish the cost of transportation to
the seaboard. In this we have not
been disappointed.
The commissioners are operating
with limited ineiDS; but are husband
ing their resources and evincing an en
ergy that inspires a strong hope, if it
does not give assuanceof success. In
deed we feel confident that train? will
je running through to Paint Rock iu
the next two year.
It is due to Wilmington that she
should - control the road, and with it
the large influx of Northwestern trado
when the work shall have been comple
te . But your people cau only be as
sured ot enjoying the fruits of tleir
liberality and enterprise, "when they
own more than halt the private stock
of tho company. Under the provisions
of ouv charter tho individual stock-
holders Lave iLe power to accept or j
reiect arry ameiiuni'.ni, m mo Bu.mrr
proposed by the Legislature, and
tho proxy for the State upon such
questions, is not allowed to vote. , So
that with the majority of the individ
ul steck in the hands of your people
i u oould saocossfaLy mejt a oombin
atiou of all other localities to divert
trade from Wilmington by hostile leg
i3latton. Already it is understood that
the Spartanburg Oompany areattempf-
ing to buy the iraucuise, c. ot tne
Western divinion of the Western North
Carolina Railroad on the title of some
pui chases al an execution sale for it,
and the sole oojeci oi tuai oompany is
to affect a change of guage, and cut off
Wilmington. With a controlling in
terest in the private stock, however,
your people oan ask for and obtain a
new charter for the road went of Ashe
vi He and build on the opposite side of
the French Broad from the old line.
This is no unnecessary warning. The
builder of railroads have seldom con
trolled them in this country, and even
the shrewdest railroad kings are some
times outwitted, as illustrated in the
fact that Garrett i$ trying to get pos
session of the Air Lane Railroad from
Charlotte to Atlanta. It is a fact,
however, that when the stock of the
State is voted in any meeting of the
stock holders upon any other question,
the State can only vote one third of
the two thirds of her stock in propor
tion to the amount of private stock
represented. 8o that individuals hold
ing one fourth of the stock would vote
all of theirhares, making twenty-five
per cent cf the whole stock, while the
praxy of the State would vote only
twenty-two cent oi the wnoie stocK.
Individuals Inow hold fifteen thou
sand five hundred shares of this stock.
while the State owns thre times as
mnch. The stock cn now be bought
at' a small price: but of conee will ad
vanoe when the road is more nearly
oomideted. Wilmington should not
defer the consideration of this matter
too long. As a friend of your city, I
think it worthy of the immediate at
tention of your Chamber of Commerce.

WILMINGTON, H. C. , : FEIDAY,
AICR1P OF HKTOKT.
The Democrats have not had the or
ganisation of ths House of Reprerenta
t ves, until now, siuce the Thirty-fifth
Congress, which .aet in 1837. Jmes
Jj. Orr, of South Carolina, was Speaker,
and James C. Allen, of Illinois, was
Clerk. At tha opening of the Th'rty
fonrth, oocu-red the memorable con
teat for tho Speakership, at the olose
of which N. P. Banks, of Massachu
setts was chosen. Th House met on
Dec, 3, 1855, but it was not until Feb.
2, 1856, that a ohoice was affected.
Ou that day the one hundred and thirty-third
vote was taken. Banks had
103, William M. Aiken, of South Caro
lina, hael 100, and there were eleven
scattering votes. The TIousu had pre
viously agreed to abido by the plurali
ty rule, and, amid tremendous excite
ment, and strenuous opposition from
the Democratic side, B auks was for
mally declared to ba Speaker of the
House. He was the original candidate
of the Republicans, and had retained
their strength from the first ballot.
The Democrats had first presen'ed
William A. R'cuardsou, of Illinois, as
their candidate, but had divided their
vote with Lewis D. Cambell, Hum
phrey Marshall, and others. This
struggle ws watched all over the ooun
'ry with great anxiety. It was the
first meeting, face to face, i-a the h all
ot Congress, of two great parties measa
tiring their strength with each other.
A more memorable aontest, bcoiuse
tha two parties felt that this was "the
beginning of the end," was that in
which John Shermwi, then aRepre"
sentative from Ohio, contended for
the Speakership of the Thirty-sixth
Congress agtiust Thomas S. Booock,
of Virginia, and several enocessive
Democratic nominees. This struggle
lasted almost exactly as long as that in
which Banks had been borne in by a
plurality vote. The House begaii bal
loting on Monday, Dec. 5, 1839. On
Feb, 1, 1860, William Pennington, of
New Jersey, was elected ou the forty
fourth ballot. Mr. Sherman had with
drawn his nme at the fortieth ballot,
and the Democrats had latterly voted
for John A. McClemand, of Illinois.
On the last ballot but one, Pennington
lacked one of the number necessary to
a choice 117. George Btggs, of tiie
deventh District of New York, elected
as a Knownothing, then cast his vote,
under a mild protest, for the Republi
can candidate, who thus received 117
votes, in a total of 233. Iu the wild
confusion which followed, Hicdman,
of Arkansas, afterward a General in
the civil war, passionately declared
that the House had elected a Black
Republican with Knownothiug votes.
Pennington took his seat as the repre
sentative of the new party. H? was
nor ohosen for his abilities as a parlia
mentarian. He made a very indiffer
ent Speaker. From that time until
now ro Democrat has been chosen to
the Speaker's chair.
Nothing oan more clearly set before
our readers the rapid flight of political i
events thau the recollection of these
two remarkable episodes in our com
paratively rece it history. During the
Pennington contest, ia 1850--G the
Senate was discussing the John Brown
raid, slavery ii the territories, and all
the exciting questions which led tip to
the political ciisis of 18G). In that
Senate New York was represented by
W. H. Seward and Preston King.
Ivereon ank Toombs were therefrom
Georgia, Mason from Virginia, and
Jeff Davis from Mississippi. Hale,
Fessenden, Symner, Wilson, Andrew
Johnson, Douglas, and many other
men who filled a large spuoi? io the
history of their times, and are n w
dead, occupied seaN io the Senate. Iu
the House, Cuarles Fraud s Adam?.
Arson Burlingame, and fcb-nry Xi.
Dawes were among the Missf;chnetts
members. Thaduous St-vons, Henry
Winter Davis, Roger A. Pryor, Tfaom
ai Ruffin, John Covode. C. L. Valleu
digham, Owen Lovejoy, and a host of
other men, now dead or out of active
service, were mambers of th-tt famous
Congress. Th' "South Americans,''
as the Southern Know-nothings were
call-id, united on MoClernaad,
gentleman who did rot hnve mnch to
eay duiir g the hot debate which filled
up the eight weeks of the contest. Of
Buiks it was charged that he had id,
in a speech in Maine, that he would
"let the Union slide" in certain con
tingencies. And umtou Rowan H-ip
er's book, 2 he Impending Crisis, cut
au mportant figure in the discussion
with which the House whiled away the
timo between ballots for Sbernia aud
Booook. When the Republicans finaby
substituted Pennington after Sherman's
withdrawal, Kertt, of South Carolina,
sue red that they uuould "tako down a
man whose name had been iu the
Helper book, and pun up a man in fa-
or of the Fugitive Slave law."
This reads like ancient history now.
So many of the actors in those exciting
reeiie have paaed away, so many of
the survivors have disappear d from
public view, and so utterly have thos
issues faded, tnat it i diffionlt to real
ize that ali this was a part of American
politics less than twenty years ago.
The question of blavery has beeti thor
oughly eliminated from onr politics,
and au exciting and awif tly-moviug pe
riod of war has wrought great changes
in every department of the national
life. It is possible that we are gliding
into other transitions which will be
eauallv marked in their effects. But
it does not seem probable. Certainly,
there is no reason to suppose that the
next fifteen years will see such a revo
lution in national politics as that which
has occurred since the last preceding
election of a Democratic Speaker of
the House of Representatives.
Therb i before the Democratic
House of Representatives in Wisoin

THAT BABY.
BY H. E. K.
?romthe Sanny Sonth )
There never was saclia baby; every
body said so, and we all kuow that
what everybody says mnst be rne.
'The loveliest, the darlinreft, the
sceetest, the be.antifulest. Oh, there
never was such a baby!'
He's got my foot,' says grandma
No. 1.
'Aud my hand,' quoth grandma No. 2.
'His eyes are exactly like mine,' said
Aunt Eilen.
'And his nose like mine," said the
other auntie.
'He's a Thompson all over,' quoth
ouo grandma.
'lie's a Wilson up and down quoth
the oth r.
'His toes are like mine, I think,'
said mamma, anxious to olairn some
part of baby
In short, that baby is discovered to
rcternbie every mmb?r of tho family
on both sides of the houe, much to
the disguufc of it3 fond father, who
hoped for the sake of its beauty tht
it would resemble himself.
Iudoed, to b hold t1 at much con
gratul tton and wholly uncomfor'iablo
individual holding the baby ii a scene
worthy ef tha j-eneil of an artist-..
'Of course, 'pipa must hold him
Srkt,' say the nuvs-, and he aits with
arms outstretched and limbs tremb
ling, holding that baby much after the
m iuuer of one who hoi is a hot potato.
He hts Mat, thus for full fifteen min
utes it peems like ages without so
much us moving mnsclfl, or lifting
au eyelid, so fearful is ho of crushing
the soft, jtlly-hke little morsai, bun
dled up iu muslin aud flannel.
Ii;-t me bve h'm now, bgs Aunt
Ellen, eagerly extending her arms,
and pai a yields him to her with a
hisru of rv-hef, saying in a confidential
tone :
Ht feels lis a hot poultice.'
'A hot p ulice !' screams grand
ma No. 1 iud'nantly, white the -ur-.b
retisea to conceal her laughter.
'I never heard anything like it,'
pips griiidma No. 2.
'On, Edward, I wouldn't have be
lieved it.' comes in a smothered voice
from under the bedclothes.
I knew, how it would be all along
snuffs grandma No. 1, who has the
gitt of foresight iu a reuiaikable de-
gtee.
'Yes, I told S.rah a year ago he'd
never care anything tor that child,
denies iu grandma No' "2, who wouid
have made an excellent clairvoyaut
had she ever tamed her attention to
i .
He never did have the feelings of a
father,' adds grandma No. 1 vuioh is
undeniably a remark ib'e speech, con
sidering that this "ou and heir ia the
berated f ither'a first born.
'I wouldn't mind it-, lid -- ard,' laughs
Auot Eilen, a the crestfallen papa,
who ail this time has stood with hi.i
bck to the Jr. and his hand behind
him, t-uddeuiy flie from th scene of
discomforture, while tttat angel baby
unfeelingly -deeps, ciretess of the pain
ie has been the means of inflicting
np m his paternal relative.
Yes; he 'bleeps a: I the time.' 'He
uever cries. 'II i is just the best baby
iu the world.' 'He's a perfect littte
angel.' 'Wai ture ever sueli a bauy?'
'Hrt's graudm-s darling sugar loaf.'
'Papa's little man.' 'Manna's tweetny
meetuy darling; so he is.' 'He's autuie'b
iinmcent, iovely angel.'
Whether so much praise had a de
morahzi'.g etf el upon the angel or
not. we cauiiot say, but certain it is
that- before a treat, while that baby
begin to show its true character. He
wou d vakw up at tho mosi noseasoua

cry when there wasn't the slightest oc
casion for it; Le would r- nder you lia

rangements as might best be effected
for the sending to school four of the

th-4 State having offered to educate
-iima of these children, the Asylum
furnishing them clothing and bookn.

aud this, two, without auy cost to the
Asylum, friends coming forward to
bir help and defiaying all costs other

was the duty of Douglass to have car
