Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey; de- liyerea aspeech at Newark on Friday even- ing in favor of the extension of suffrage to the colored people of that ‘State. He said that “while the right to regalate the qnalitica’ions of voters is with the State, and not the Fede- ral Government, yet, as the qualification of electors for Representatives in Congress is by the Federal Uonstitution the same asthe quali- necation of ¢lectors for the membersof the most numerous branch ot the State Legislature the Feeeral Government is intrasted with the qualification of voters. Judge Kelley addressed the people of New Orleans on the political status of the South on Saturday evening. His audience was the largest mass meeting of citizens known in ‘that city for some time,and numerous political clubs were present with banners, transparencies and devices. The platiorm wasappropriately decorated, and many of the prominent citi- zens and ladies of the city occupied sea’s upen it. Resolutions of astrong Republican cbaracter were adopted after the meeting. The remarks of the Judge were frequently greeted with prolonged applanse. Senator Wilson arrived in Montgomery, Ala.,on Friday. On Saturday he addressed an audience of the usual mixed character. He was introduced by General Swayne, and in the course of his speech made no reterence whatever. to confiscation, After the speeches, General Swayne called tor the sense of the colored people as to who were for the Repub- lican party, and the response was a unani- mous affirmative. 4A local colored preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church was recently shot and mor- tally wounded by a white man named Morriss, in Sumter district,S. C. The preacher had participated as speaker at several recent meet- 1ngs of the colored people at that place, and it is said that the shooting was occasioned by re- marke made on those occasions. The affair produced much excitement. Thomas Healsey, internal revenue collector for the Ist district, (Brooklyn, N. ¥.) was ar- Tested yesterday morning by U.S. Marshal Noydine, charged with defrauding the Goy- ernment out of $3,376. The accused, after an examination before Justice Newton, was ad- mitted to bail in the eum of $15,000.

NATIONAL DeBts.—It is supposed by many people that our national debt is about the same fs that of England, whereasa recent sta'ement of the British debt shows that there is a vast difference in our favor, notwithstanding all our complaints. The total nauonal debt of Great Britain is cet down officiaily at a sum which Teduced to our gurrency, at the present rate of gold, amounts to about 500,000,000. A com- parison may be made with the last statement of the United States debt, which on May Ist was reported to be $2,520,796,096, This shows a difference of over $2,650,000,000 in our favor. Taxes in this country are heavy, because the Cebtis being constantly reduced. Ifno more than the interest of the debt were collected an- nually, our taxes would be light by compari- son with those of England, but while we are rapidly reducing the sum total of ourdebt, the British nation have made scarcely any effort in that direction, and are content to hand their indebtedness down to posterity as part and parcel of the national effects.—N. ¥. Sun. The New York Excise Law.—The recent orders of the New York Police Commission- ers. requiring all druggists, grocery and pro- vision dealers, cigar dealers. confectioners, barbers and similar tradesmen, to close their places of business en Sunday, caused great excitemeptin that city. Delegations waited upon the Mayor ard Councilmen, asking their interference against it, and the Majority of the papers characterized it as undne harshness i: the enforcement of the law. Tne New Yor! Board of Aldermen also adopted a resolu:ion to inquire whether the ancient rights of the city were encroached upon. So unpopular were these orders that the Police Gommission- ers, fearing the consequences, Sunday re- scinded them, and the excitement among the peuple of New York is now reported to be subsiding. saa” 212 ¥ FL eee THB NEW York ELECTION.—At the recent New York election for delegates to the State Constitutional Convention the average Ke- publican majority was 23.603 Waldo Hutch- ins, the leading Republican candidate, re- ceived 154,72" votes, the highest humber cast: and !ra Harris 151.471, the lowest Republican vote cast. Horace Greeley receiv 152.953 votes, On the Democratic ticket. the, highest vote was for Henry D. Murphy, 133,994. and the lowest for Santord E. Church, 125.001. Yioratio Seymour received 133,087 votes. Au- pustus Schell 132. and George Law 133 676. The curious fact is veloped by the returns that the most widely kuown candidates ot each party reeeived smaller numbers of votes tban candidates who had at best a merely joc u reputation. ' THe WORKING Peor_e.—The New York passenger railroad stablemen, who have struck lor $2 a day, have obtained it in one or two cases, but on most of the roads it hasbeen re- fused. ‘The stair builders and sash and blind makers, on strike for fifty cents a day ad- vauce, report that they are gradnally suoceed- ing. and that all the employers will soon yield’ The ga¢and steam-fitters of New Yerk @re meditating a sirike tor an increase of wa- ges.
