I claim t hat : the board o' canvassers did right in refusing to receive the returns at the hands ot any paitas not authorized to 1'resent them. Mi. Speaker, these are no' tr:ial tech niealitie: the supreme court has decided a case similar to this in . 1 N. (.'-, Terry vs. Whitakcr. groiving ont of the prohibition election in Kaleigh. The act 1'rovided that the inspector.- with a justice ot the peace should com pare the vote: the justice alone did it and then- was no evidence that the vote 1; id been tampered with, neither was it alleged, et the curt held that the election was not legal and t hei eh re void. We come last to .1 am es ( 1 1. . the ret urns of w h ich were niected on the ground ot intimidation. It is in evidence that threats ol viol en re were made t y colored men against any of their race who would vote the coalition ticket. They sud that they could not live in .1 arnos t ;ty and vote the 1 'emoci at :c ticket. Mr. Meadow s Mayor ol New Heme, and Mr. Matthew. t entitled that from tilty to a hundred negro women crowded about the pulls and declared that H anyone should vote that ticket they ought to be killed and thrown into the river, that, thev should not live in the pl.M-e any oil the other onger. (icnt it-men ;ii!e mtiii :o think lightly ot the luthienee ot woman. I would remind them that it is a historical fact that the world has long since acknowledged thai men who have faced death on many bat tlefields and contended w i; h yvhales and icebergs have bowed to wnninn to do her bidding, though she In? so delicate as to faint at the sight of a mouse. Perhaps the gentleman from Madison is an ex parte and has always been under the pleasant smiles of woman with no occasion to stir up their indignity. The poet says that. "' Karth h& n- demon 1 ike 1 ve to hatred turned . Nor hadei a fury like a woman t corned. " It is as proverbial in that vicinity as it is that Washington hacked the apple tree, that a crowd of theae political negro women ran Judge Clark into the river up to his nrtrk liir a; 1 e n: i ! : n lt lo make a i)emocratic S,H .t.rll , J.uneS City.

There is a bill before ( Inch contemplates t he aj ongre.-s propria u trie icnt t ion by t hat -inn ot moi: testing tor a body ot v to nav t he cost of merits of a ear the new system ol spelliag devised by a ( 'hicago gent leiii an. and the press of t ht' country is appealed to for sniiport ol ; he measure. The circular through which this appeal is made is devoted much more hugely to eulogy than to details of the lefol .;.: but the argu ments by which the need for Mine reform is enforced are very cogent. In the main they are these: The present system of spelling Knglish is artificial and unnatural because it is not the met hod which children follow or yvoiild follow if left to themselves, i'nder it each and every word has to he learned, mas tered and remembered alone by itsell: and two y ear- at 'east ol the average pupii's tune is yva.-tedin learning to -pell In a .-cientilic method, it i-( '.aimed, yvords would be learned, mastered and remem bered by elas.-es and a great deal '"valuable tune saved. In the child system, or .-w m "t Nature," the deviser of the ' lorin -ay .-, ; he sound of an 'i . 1 is t he name of t hat vowel. To ' -there is, and can be. no except, n. In the child system of Nature, the sound of any consonant, followed by e as me. is the name ot that con sonant. There ate just as many letter.- in a word as t here are sounds ui that wnid.no more and no less. I'ntauk'ht children never use any silent h-t t ei s. ii or any double let ters. nor any -upei liuoiis letters: but just the le'.ieis needed, and in their proper onler. And this child sys tem, or method of Nature, prevails among all young children, in all nations, .-peaking all languages, as many hundreds of practical experiment.- have abundantly proven. Cut il children have been otherwise taught, or rather mistaught, they never u.-e any other method except their own." The proposition is, in sub.-tance. to change the spelling of all yvords so far as necessary to conform to these principles: and the Chicago reformer speaks very en thusiastically of the results attained is experimental schools. Children IL and 11 years old, as well as adults learned to spell the words of the llnglish language in five or six evenings, the lesson or session of the school lasting about two hours. The writ mg required a longer time a hi in t one or two hours iv dav for thirty or forty davs. Younger children, m these test and trial schools, have iearned to spell the words of the language twenty or thii'y tunes faster than they could h-aiti them in the, old way: still youi ger children have learned to spell tort or fifty times faster than they could by the old methods: and still younger children the young est of all between the ages of o and 'I too young to be admitted into the common schools, have learned to spell fifty or sixty times taster than they have been able at that age to learn the old way. These little ones can jpell all the -mall words words of one syllable and write them and read them when wiuten. by the time they are ii years old. They have also learned to s:h-:I .,1; the small words words of one syllable in the Knglish language, without the use of any book of any kind, but from the charts and blackboards alone. Letters upon yvooden blocks were used as aids, and boxes filled yvith sand, tor the little children to write in. at first: but they have learned to spell, and a!-o to write, ami also to read yvnting without having any books, of any kind, in the school There i- much to be said in favor ol such a change; and the propo sition to test the new sy.-tem thor oughly meets with a good deal of encouragement tiom teachers and others. l'.ut the argument is no wholly onesided. Awk;ir,l and mm. I'm a! as oiu spelling sys'ein oi lack of sy :,.in l- there are some rea.-ons why yv e should hesitate long bctore making a whole. -ale change in it.

At live o'clock this afternoon the steamship Guyan dotte. of the Old Dominion Line, sailed from her pier at the foot of Beach street, in this city, for Norfolk. Virginia. As the last beil was ringing previous to the departure of the vessel. Robert Sinclair, the mess boy, noticed a young man about 25 years of age coming hurriedly from the closet-room. The boy's atten tion was fixed, and he noted that the stranger had a brown mustache and whiskers, and that he wore a Derby hat, light brown overcoat and dark trousers. These observations yvere made while the stranger hurried a.-hore and disappeared among a knot of per sons at the foot of the gang-plank. The steamer. Capt. D. Kelly in com mand, proceeded on her voyage. When off Long Branch an explosion occurred in the after part of the saloon, by which a man named Kelly and Jas. Justice were slightly injured. The explosion is believed to have been from dynamite packed in a satchel that had been left in the closet-room. Sinclair told the captain cf the stranger who had hurried ashore as the last bell was ringing before the steamer sailed, and he is regarded as having placed the satchel on board containing the explosive. The steamer at once put about and arrived at her dock at 10X0 tonighr. The Guyandotte left her pier at : j p . m. wttn a mixed carco. tnorougnly loaded. She carried five saloon and i fifteen steerage pasengers. with a crew of forty-two persons. The vessel was er! Lcng Branch at 5:40 p. m. when the explosion occurred in the starboard quarter aft. At the moment the cap tain was in the pilothouse. The ex plosion was heard in every part of the vessel, and the detonation caused much excitement among crew and passen gers. Capt. Kelly at once signaled to the engine room to stop, and an investi gation was at once begun. It was dis covered that a hole about lo feet square had been caused by the explosion through tbe main and hurricane decks, and much damage had been done in the saloon and to the outside joiner work on the main deck. The cabin was filled with splinter? of timber, a piece of which struck a pas- senger named D. A. Kelly, who yvas reading in the saloon about 00 feet from ' fhe cofetf whee the, "SL-V' bC' litiyoH m hava hetn n ncpn. Ke y- was severely bruised upon one knee.

The sections have been laid off with a view to their possible utilization in this w ay. They begin and end at points es tablished w ith all the accuracy of the most accurate surveyors in the world the c tiijers of the L. S. Coast Survey; and their limits are therefore clearly and sharply defined. In many the sur veys have been completed, and by adopting these or similar divisions, por tions of the area may be opened to en try from time to time as the natural beds are located, and thus an immediate revenue secured and a portion, if not all the expenses attending the installa tion of the work, be defrayed.
