1S 10, issUV—SLYTHEN rauns. TOM BROWN AT RUGBY. etter from Mr. Hughes, Written at His Tennessee Set- ‘tlement. Bathing, Eating, Exploring, and Boot- Blacking—The Natives a - z Curious People. The Hotel—The Drink Question—Lovers’ Walks—The Lawn-Tennis Ground, Rucuy, Tenn., Sept. 10.—I was roused at 5 or thereabouts, on the morning after our arrival here, by a visit from a big dog belonging to a native,—not quite a mastiff, but more like that than anything else,—who, secing ‘my window wide open, jumped in from the veranda, and came to the bed to give me good-morning with tailand muzzle. I was clad to see. him, having made friends the previous evening, when tha ccision of hig dealings with the stray hogs who came to callon us from,the neigbboring forest had won my heart; but, 26 his size and atten- tions somewbat impeded my necessarily scanty ablutions, I had to motion bim apologetically to the window when I turned out. He obeyed at once, jumped ont, laid his muzzie on the’ sill, acd soiennly, and I thought somewhat pitying- jy, watched my proceedings. Meantime, [heard suunds which announced the uprising of “the ‘govern it: Loys,” and in a few minutes several appeared in fanne} shirts and trousers, bound for one of THE TWO RIVERS which run close by, in guilies 200 feet below us. They had heard of a pool ten feet deep, and found it, too; and a most delicious place it is, surrounded by great rocks, lying on a copse of rhododendrons, azaleas, aud magnol- ius, which Nterally form the underwood of the pines and white oak along these gullies. The water is of a temperature which allows folk whose blood is not so hot as it used to be to lie for half an bour on its surface and play, about without a sensation of chilliness, On this occasion, however, I preferred to let them do the exploring, and so. at 6:15 went off to breakfast, { ‘3 * ‘This is the regular hour for that meal here, dinner at 12, and tea at 6. There is really no difference between them, except that we get porridge at breakfast and a great'abundance of vexetables at dinner. At all of them we have tea and fresh water for drink, plates of beef or mutton, apple-sauce, rice, tomatoes, peach ples or puddings, and several kinds of bread. As the English garden furnishes un~ limited water and other melons, and as the Bettlers—young English, who come in to see us—bring sacks of apples and peaches with them, and as, more- over, the most solvent of the boys, invested at Ciucinnati in a great square box full of tinned viands of all kinds, you may see at once that in tis matter we are not genuine objects either for admiration or pity. I must confess here to ASLIGHT DISAPPOINTMENT. Having arrived at an age myself when diet has become a matter of indifference, I was rather chuckling as we came along over the coming ebort-commons up here when we got fairly loose inthe woods, and the excellent discipline it would be for the boys, especially the Londoners, to discover that the human al canbe kept in rude heatth ong few daily crackers and ap- lvs,ora Slapjack and tough pork. And now, hold; we ure uctualy still living amongst the fiesh-pote, which I had fondiy believed we bad lett in your Eastern Egypt: and, I am bound to “the boys” seem as provokingly indifferent to them as if thelr beards were gett Oue lives and learns, but I question whether ‘these States are quite the place to bring home to our Anglo-Saxon race the fact that we are an over-fed branch af the universal brotherhood. Tanner, l fear, hasfasted invain. Breakfast was scarcely over when there was 8 muster of cavalry, Every horso that could be spured or requisitioned was in demand for an exploring. ride to the west, and soon every charwer was bestrid.by “a boy” in frec- ‘and-eusy garments, and carrying a bianket for camping out: Away. they went under the pines and vaks, a merrr lot, headed by our geologist, who knows the forest by this time like a native, and whose shocking old straw hat blazed. abeac in the morning sun Hke—shall we say?—* the helmet of Navarre,” or Essex's white hat and plumes before the Train Bands, as they crowned the ridge where Falkland fell and his monu- ment now stands, at the battle of Newbury.

It would the dowufall of the last castle in Spain I am ever likely to build, 7 On reaching our abode, I was aware of the Forester coming across from the Enclish garden, of which he has charge, followed. bya young native. He walked up to me, and announced that they were come across to tidy up and Diack the boots. Here was another shock, that we should. be followed by the lumber of civilization so closely! Will bonts be blacked, I wonder, fu the New Jerusalem? { was at first inclined to protest, while they made a collec- tion und set thers out on the veranda; but the Bight of the ladies’ neat little high-lows mude me pause. These, ar any Tate, it seemed to me, should be big even in the millennium, Next minute I was so tickled by a littie interlude between the Forester and the nutive that all idea of remonstrance van-: ished. The latter, contemplating the boots and blacking-pot aud brushes,—from under tho shapeless picce of old felt, by way of hat, of the sane mysterious cvior as the migged shirt and breeches, his only other garments,—joined his hands behind his back and said, in their slow way, “Louk 'ere, Mr. Hill, AIN'T THIS "ERE PAY-DAY¥?” The drift was perfectly, obvious. This citizen bad no mind to turn shoe-bluck, and felt like hurging himself summarily. Mr. Hill, who aiready busily sweeping the veranda, put down bis broom, und after a short colloquy, which 1 did not quite catch, seized on a boot and brush und began shining away with an artistic stroke worthy of one of the Shoeblack Brigade ut the London-Bridge Station. The nauive looked on for u minute, and then slowly unclasped his hands. Presently he picked up a boot, and fooked round it dublousty. Inow took a band myself. If there was one art which J learned to perfection at school, and still pride myself ou, it is shining a boot. Ina minute o1 two my boot was beginning “to soar and sing,” while the Forester’s was already a thing of Denuty, The native, with a gruut, took up the Spare brush, and begun slowly rubbing. The Victory was complete. He.comes now and spends two hours every morning over bis new accomplishment, evidently delighted with the opportunity it gives him for toating and watch- ing the bapits of the strange occupants, for wWhum also he fetches many tin pails of water from the well in a slow, vague manner. He has even voluntecred to tix up the ladies’ room and Oil their bath (an offer which has been declined, with thanks): but 1 doubt whether he will ever Youch the point of a genuine “shine.” THEY ARE A CURIOUS PEOPLE, these natives, as the Forester (an Englishman, rearedin Lord Denbigh’s garden at Newnham Paddocks, and thirty years out here), told me as we walked of to exumine the Enghsh garden; but I must keep his experiences and my own observation Yor separate treatment. The En- glish jurden fs the most advanced, and. I think, ihe most important and interesting, feature of this settlement.“ If young Englishmen of small means are to try their fortunes here, it is well that they should have trustworthy guidance at once ag to whut are te best crops to raise. With. this view, Mr. Hill was placed, in the spring of this year, iu charge of the only cleared space available. All the rest is beautiful, open torest- lund. You can ride or drive aimust anywhere under the trees, but there is no cultivated spot for many tiles, except small patches here and there of carelesly-sown maize and millet, and a or two of sweet potatoes.. The Forester had a hard struggle to do anything with the garden at all this season. He was only put in command in six weeks ut least too’ duties in the forest, and in grading and superin- tending the walks, interfered with the warden. Manure was outof the question. except a litde ashes, which he painfully gathered here and there from the reckless log-tires which abound inthe woods. He calls his garden a failure for the year. But,as half an acre which was wild forest-land in May is covered with watermelons and cantulupes, as the tomatoes hang in hu; buncbes, rotting on the vines for want of moutl enough to eat them, as the Lima beans are yield- ing at the rate of 250 bushels'an acre, and as cubbages, sweet potatuts, beets, and squash aro in equally prodigal abundance, the prospect of making a living is pbeyoud all question for all who will set to work with a will. An the afternoon I inspected THE HOTEL, nearly completed, ona knoll in the forest, be- tween the English garden and this frame-house. li is a slshuy building, with deep verandas prettily Jatticed, from which one gets gliinpses through the trees of mapallicent ranges of blue, forest-covered mountains. We have named it the Tabard. at the sugvestion of one ot our Auierican Dictbers, who, being in Scogland when the old Southwark hostelry from which the Canterbury Pilgrims started was broken up, and the materials sold by auction, to make room: for 8 Lop-store, bought some of the old banis- ters, which he bas reverently kept, till now. They will be put up in the hall of the new ‘Sabard, and marked with a brass-plate and in- scription,—telling, L trust, to many generations of the place from which-they came. The Tabard, when finished, as it will be in a few days, will ludge some tifty guests; and, in spite or the ab- sence of alcoholic drinks, has every chance. it preseat indications can be trusted. of har! U4 and sending out as cheery pilgrims as followed the Miller.and the Host.and told their world- famous stories, 500 years ao. THE DRINK QUESTION has reared its baleful bead here. as it seems to do all over the world. The various works had gone on in peace till-the lust ten days, when two young iutives toted over some barrels of whisky, and broached them in a shanty, on & small lot of no-man’s land in the woods, some two miles from hence. Since then there has been no peace forthe manager. First, a laborer or two was suddenly missing from his work on. the road; then, a mechanic became incompe- tent here and there on the botel, or at the saw- mills; till on Saturday last the crisis came, and -some twenty men got drunk ana gambied ail through Sunday, getting very near x free fight in the end, and on Monday half the work col- lapsed. Happily the feeling of the community ig vigorously temperate; so;energetic measures ‘are on foot to rout out the pest. A wise State law enucts that no liquor-storo shall be per- mitted under heavy penalties within four miles of an incorporated school; 86 we are pushing ow our school-bouse, and organizing a Bonrd to Beantime, we have evidence of unlawful sale (in quantities less than a pint), and of encouraging gambling,by these pests, and hope to make un example of them at the next sitting of the County Court. This inci- dent bus decided the question for us. If we are tw have influence with the poor whites und blacks, we must be ‘above suspicion ourselves. So no liquor will be procurabla ut the Tabard, and those who need it ‘will have to import for themselves. ‘A bridle-path leads from the hotel down to ‘TRE CLEAR FORK, one of. the streams at the junction of which the town site is. situate. The descent is about 200 feet, and the stream, when you get to it, from thirty to Bfty feet wide,—a: mountain-stream, with deep pools and big boulders, Your columns gre not the place for descriptions of scenery; so Iwill onty say that the gorges of the Clear Fork and White Oak nore as tine as any of their size that I know in Scotland, and not unlike in character, with this ditference: that the chief underwood here consists ot rhodo- (called laurel: ~ here), _gzalea, ana a kind of wagnolia- I have ‘not seen before, and of which I cannot get the, name.. [passed huge fagots of rhododendron, twelve fcet and fourteen feet long, lyiug by the walks, which had been clenred away ruthlesly while grading them. They are three miles long, and cost under £100,—a judicious outlay, (think, o before an acre of land has been suid. Ther have been named the Lovers’ Watks, appropri- ately enough, for no more woll-adapted place could possibly be found for: that time-honored business, especially in spring, when the whole gorges under the tull pines and white oak are one bixtze of purple, yellow, aud white blossom. ‘On my Hg return to the plateau, my first day’ experiences came to an end in a way which no longer surprised me, after the bootblacking and the Lovers’ Walks. I was bailed by one of “ the boys,” who bad been unable to obtain a mount, or bad some business which kept him from ex- Ploring. Ho was in flannels, with raéquot in a. on his way to . THE LAWN-TENNIS GROUND, ‘ to which he offered to pilot ine. Ina minute or two we came upon an Open space. marked, I see on the plans, “Cricket Ground,” in which rose a. fine, strong paling, inclcsing a square uf 150 feet—the uprights bemg six tect high. and close enough to keep, uot only boys out, but tennis- balisin. Turf there was none, in our sense, within the inclosure, and what there must have once been as a substitute forturf had been carefully cleared off on space suilicient for one full-sized court, which wus well marked out on the hard, sandy loam. A better ground I have rarely séen,except for the young sprouts of oak and other scrub which here and there were struggling up in a last effort to assert their “ancient, solitary reign.” At any rate, then and there, upon that court, I saw two sets played in astyle which would have done credit toa connty mutch (the young lady, by the way, who played far from the worst game of the four, is the champion of her own county). This was _ the opening’ match, the racquets having only just arrived’ from England, though the court has been the object of tender solicitude for six weeks or more to the four ‘Englishmen already resident here or near Fe 7 THE RUGBY TENNIS CLUB consists to-day of seveu :members, five English andtwo nutive, and will probably reach two igures within a few days on the return of the boys.

The question’ may be nar- rowed down to one point, namely: Can an un- naturalized person vote for a Member of Con- gress and for Presidential Electors? From an investigation and consideration of the subject, Tam clearly of the opinion that’ he can do so in many. States. It fs a not infrequent error to suppose that citizenship and suffrage are insep- erably joined together, and that the former is equivatent to ‘the jatter. Naturalization of it- self confers no rightof suffrage. The States have the exclusive power of fixing the qualifica- tion of voters at allelections. Prof. Parsons says: Under the Articles of Confederation the Gen- eral Government could not exercise the power of naturalization, the State alone having that power. But, as’ naturalization made a mapa citizen, and a citizen of one State was a citizen of every other, it followed that apy one State, in any way that it thought proper, might invest a foreigner with all the privileges of citizenship in every other State. The inconvenience of this was 80 obvious that, when the Constitution was formed, uo objection was mude to giving to the United States the exclusive power of naturaliza- tion. » Citizenship of itself gives no gee of suffrage. That must depend upen the law of the Stute where be resides, the Constitution having left to the States this power; and each State prescribes jig own rule, or has {ts own law, of suffrage. Thus, a foreigner coming to Massachusetts, and residing there, may be naturalized, and thus be- come a citizen of the United States and of that State, and live’ there all his life without the right of suffrage, unless be learns how to read “the Constitution in English aud write his own name. : Many believe that the qualifications required in order to vote for Representatives in Congress are different from those required in voting for Representatives in the Lezisiature of the State. ‘This is simply a mistake, as will be seen by ref- erence to Art. 1, Sec. 2, of the Constitution, which isin these words: ~ * The House of Representatives shall be com- posed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several States; and - the electors in cach State shail have the qualifications requisit far electors of the most numerous branch of the ‘State lature." As to the election of Presidential Electors, the Constitution, in Art. 2, Sec. 1, Clause 2, provides: “ Each State shalt uppoint, in such manner ag the Legislature thereof moy direct, u number of Electors equal to the whule number of Senators and Jepreseutarives towhich the State may be entitled in the Congress.” ‘These-Electors choose the President and Vice- President of the United States. If there be no State Legistatures, there can be no Presidentiut Electors. The Electors of the State Legisiatures are created and qualitied by and under State Constitutions and State. laws. The Supreme Court of the United States, in Minor vs. Happersett, 21 Wallace, 170, says: * The United States has-no voters in the States of its own creation. The elective officers of the United States are. all elected directly or indi- rectly by State voters.” In the- United States vs. Cruikshank, 2 Otto, ‘555, the Supreme Court reaffirm the doctrine in etn Minor ve. H Wi “iu Minor vs. Happersett, 21 Wall., 178, we de- cided that the Constitution of the Uieed States has not conferred the right of suffrage upon any one; and that the United States have no voters of their own creation in the States. In the United States vs: teese et al, supra. page 214, we bold that the Fifteenth Amendment has invested the citizens of the United States with a ew constitutional right, which is, exemption from discrimination in the exercise of the elective franchise on account of race, color. or previous condition of servitude.” From tbls it uppears that the right of suffrage is not a neces- sary attribute of National citizenship; but that exemption from discrimination in the exercise of that right, on account of race, etc., is. ‘The right to vote in the States comes from‘the States; but the right of exemption from the prohivited discrimination conies from. the United States. ihe frst bas not been granted or secu! yy the Constitution of the States; but the last has been. Baltes The several States have prescribed in their State Constitutions. the qualifications for the exercise of the right of suifrage by an unnat- uralized foreigner who has deci his inten- tion to become a citizen. Under the Constitu- tons of Indiana, Florida, and Oregon, if he has resided in the United States one year. and in the State six months, ar bas legaily declared bis intehtion to become a citizen of the United States, he can vote at all elections. In Alabama, Florida, Kuusas, Wisconsin, and other States, a residence of one year in the State is required, in addition to bis declarauon of ‘ention to become a citizen. in Massu- ‘| elry stores, chugetts. a foreigner must have his final nat- uratization papers, and, in addition thereto, he must reside in the State two years ufter he bas been naturalized, and be able to read the Con- ‘ gtitution in English, and write his own name. In Rhode Island, x foreigner must be a natural- ized citizen, und also an owner of real estate, Ia Connecticut, full citizenship is required, and the voter must bea man ef good moral charac- ter, and be able to read any article of the Con- stitution. In Vermont, citizenship is required, and also that the voter shail be of-a quiet and peaceable behavior, and take a preacribed oath to give his yore as he shull judge will most con- duce to the best good of the State. 4 I thinkit iscicar that the right of suffrage isex- .clusively conferred and regulated by the States, ‘and that Congress has no right to prescribe the qualification of voters. In fact, there can be no ‘Yyoters except those made by the several States. Another common mistake is, that, because.a. man is a lawful voter, therefore he is eligible to office. In almost every State citizenship is one of the requisits to qualify for holding office. ‘The first clause of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution reads as Yollows: a All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurtsdiction thereof, ure citizens of the United States; and of the State wherein they reside. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that— 5 S ‘The phrase, * subject.to its jurisdiction,” was intended to exclude from its operation children of Ministers, Consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States, boru within the United States. ‘This decision disposes of a lurge nutnber of cases involving the question of the right to vote of persons born in Illinois or other States, whose fathers were subjects of forcizn States, und nover became citizens of the United States. ‘The fact of being born in the United States does not make such persons citizens or voters. JouNn FORSYTHE, THE FRIENDS OF THIEVES. Death of a Man Who for Years Has Been Deep in the Confidence of New York Criminals. New York, Oct. 4.—No man was better known to the police—not only of New York, but of every large city in the United Stutes, and to criminals of high grade, especially bank burglars —than John D. Grady, whose ostensitle call~ ing was that of a diamond broker.. He was ashort, thick-set man, with a typical Irish face, a strong accent, and an insinuating address. He-, was, as a rule, ill attired, and scarcely ever wore a shirt-collur. He usually. carried a shabby sachel, and at times ‘this contuined diamonds, Jewelry, and watches, worth much money. He has bousted that on several occasions the sachel bad jn it property worth $125,000 to $150,000. On ‘Thursday he was found dend on the floor of bis “ottice,” No. 403 Sixth avenue. -Death was duc to natural causes, and Grady was buried in the afternoon. Many police officers asserted—and Grady never denied it—that the diamond broker was not only a receiver of stolen goods but the banker of muoy first-class criminals. The police say, apol- ogetically, that he could never have been _con- victed except on the testimony of felons. Under the’ udministration of Superintendent John ‘Jourdun, Grady became.useful to tho police. He enabled officers. to wuke reputations by giving them ‘information in regard to petty crimes, in betraying men who did not belong to his clique or with whom he was at enmity, or in recovering stolen watches and other sprees when the “police ofliciuls were compelled to exert themselves by men of prominence and power, who had been robbed. Itis hardly necessary to suy that when Grady was the agent employed to recover stolen property, he did not in returning it deliver up the thief. Without reviving police scunduls, which were never thoroughly disclosed, or which |. Were of such scope and mugnitude as to deter un- oflicial investigation, the assertion may be hazard- ed that with Johu Grady are buried secrets which have caused nightmares to detectives, and that Grady was so shrewd that he could and did defy some pubiic officers to interfere with him. At one time Grady was n constant visitor at the New York Police Headquarters, and his friend- ship for Capt. James Irving, of the detective office, appeared to be intense. Grady boasted of these opportunities. to confer with officials, and suid that he returned favor for favor. Grady was the confidant and friend of every criminal whose daring and success bad raised him above mediocrity in his “ profession.” The lesser hghts of the craft whum he knew were innumerable. The score of mon named have within the past decade been more or less accu- rately identified with burgluries of banks, jew-_ and dry-goods houses, which secured plunder-valued by the losers at from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000. Nine-tenths of the plunder was in money and bonds, and thieves could not have been far short of $3,000,- Grady, when. all darizer was past, was fond of. boasting about his pust criminal transuction3 and of taunting police olficers on their: failure to unravel criminal .mysteries. Grady, the po- lice officera say, arran the details of the Manhattan Bank robbery, and spent $10,000 on the preliminary attempts. He is credited with being. the financial agent of the expedition which in. February, 1878, started from New York to rob the bunk at Deep River, Conn:, and the National. Bunk . at Dexter, DM Die, The burzlars-were Johnny Dobbs, * Worcester?” Sam, Jimmy Hope, and Abe Conkley. All except Sam were concerned in the Manhattan.burglary, and Hope and Conkley- were arrested at Deep River. It is a matterof record that they seut a messenger to Grady to secure their releuse, and he showed bis contempt. for. their bungling by refusing to nid them. He was subsequently in- duced to advance money, which enabied them toget free on a legal technicality. ps For the past two ycars.Grady had not been prominently, identiiled with crimes. He had en robbed of diamonds, and had dévoted nearly all his time to pursuing the thieves, and in looking after the interests of Draper. Porter, and Irving. A woman whom he,trusted im- plicitly swindled bim out of diamonds, jewelry, and other valuables, and it is whispered that men who bad found out a secret, the revelation of which would imperil Grady’s liberty, bad bled him to nearly a condition of financial dis- tress, He began life in New York thirty-five years ngo a8 a painter, and for the past. twonty Yenrs his fortune has been variously estimated at amounts ranging from $250.000 to $500 His estate, when settled by the Public Administrator —he died intestate—will not be moro than $50,000.
