Sherman, Commanding U- 8. Army: Siz:—Tbe House of Representatives of the United States on the 10th iastaot passed tne following preamble and resolution, viz: Whereas the right of suffrage prescribed by the coustitution of the several states is subject to the 15th amendment of the Con. stitution of the United Siates, which is as follows; “Article 15. Section 1. The right of citi- zens of the United States to vote shall not be depied or abridged by the United States, or by avy state, on account of race, color or previons condition of servitude. «Section 2.

Such additional orders as may be neces- Sary to carry out the purpose of these in- structtons will be given to you from time to Ume, after consultation wilh tue law officers of the government. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J.D. CAMERON, Secretary of War. Political Notes. It is @ curious fact, and well worthy of note, that Mr. Kerr’s two most formidable competitors for the Speakersh!p in the be- ginning of the session have both largely los’ not only their hold iu public esteem, but also their grip in their own party, by reasou of their somewhai erratic course in Congres3 siuce then.

H., Aug. 14, 1876.5 Getting considerable benefit iast year from some pedestrian experiences in this mountain region, I am here again, on the same errand, accompanied by @ couple of Dr. Welling’s college boys who need a little roughing it of this kind for their physical good. We snail! make this berutiful village our base, ard from here shall probabiy make two or tara Pedestrian circuits; taking in the Waite Mountains, the Francorta range, and tue Lake country of New Hampshire. EQUIPMENT. Leaving our valises with extra clothing here, we shall start out in light marching order, equipped with rab»er satenels, Strapped to go over the shoulder, and which take the place of the heavier and clumsier knapsack. This style of satchel, procared in Boston, is large enough to hold a spare suit, totlet articles,and a hook or two, and is all that ts needed, unless one proposes to camp out in the wilderness, or to make an extended trip without a base of supplies. Of course the first requisite in pedestrianiz ing is to have strong, serviceable, wel!l-fitting shoes, but they need not, for our climate, b= so very Clumsy and stiff as are some of the styles of English walking shoes that have come into fashion in txts country of late Last year I met @ party of Harvard boys on & walking trip here, and one of them who had tortured nis feet ina pair of the most approved English ‘:Waulken- fast” until he scarcely knew which leg to was glad to discard them for ordi p ‘7 weil- made eg a gaiters, and was surprised to find that latter, through the elasticity at the ankles and the general adaptation of tne shoe to the movements of the foot ta moan- tain climbing, was the just the thing for tne service, and algo lasted very well. Our shoes are an American improvement upon the English walking shoes, now made in New Ergland, and which will probably supercede the English pattern. We are provided with grey flannel shirts with rolling collars for ordinary use; with @ linen shirt, collars and cuffs, in reserve in our satchels, for use when We are forced to stopat @ fashionabie hotel For it is a % our plan to make the excursion as inexpensive as may be, and to establish the fact, if possible, that a health- fal, varied, interesting, and quite extensive trip through the Switzerland of America may be made within the limits of tue aver- age college boy’s vacation pocket money. MC MILLAN’: Partly because McMillan’s is not of the high-priced order that only shoddy men can afford to patronize, but @ good deal because last year 1 found the fare and home comfort here rather exceptional in these days, | am here now.

Like most men of ex- ceptionally fine physical development, he has the good-temper of perfect heaith, but is said to be terrific when moved to righteous anger. Anyhow he is held in grea: esteem in all this part of the country, and could go to Congress or be made a juage if he wanted to. He is wealthy, for this part of the coun- ry, but continues to act as landlord, for the fun of the thing. probably; but he very stur- dily and sensibly deciines all the advice beaped u him to build @ big modern hotei to take the place of his present comfortivie medium-sized establishment, surrounied oy spacious natural lawns, shaded by a dozea of the most magnificent oid trees (elms) tuat @ hotel property was ever endowed with. it ig to be hoped drat the McMullau bree oi ‘andlords will not die out; and also that Dan Stewart style of unjeweled, onli hotel clerks may be perpetuated.

NORTH CONWAY, Seated on its elevated terrace, above the charming meadows of the Saco, and situa ted at the best focal point for the view of Mount Washington and his Olympian neighbors, continues to be the chief resort and main headquarters of pleasure aad health: seekers, tourists, @od artists, in the mountain regions. It reminds one of Sara- toga in the number of its charming cottage boarding-places, where family parties find a good deal of solid comfort and epjoyment at & moderate cost of from 85 to $10 per week. 180 fortabie hot There also several com! like the McMillan House, where are from 82.50 to 83 per day, and from 810 to $15 per week.

UP KIARSAGE. To break in our walking shoes and by way of preliminary training for more serious pe- destrian work, we walked to and up Mount Kiarsage on Saturday. The mouataio is three miles from McMillan nd the ascent is three more. Our way to the mountaia was alopg one of the charming country roads abounding hereabouts, bordered on one side by @ tree-shaded, pellucid brook, and on the other by @ sucession of cottage residences, mainly by the groups on the elm shaded lawas; the click of croquet balls, and the wiry jingle of much- banged pianos.

The season has been dry here, and. couseqaentiy, though there were no on clouds to obscure the view the sir was quite smoky. In some respects this blue mist floating in the valleys and enrobing the mountalas in a garment of filmy grace gave an added charm Wo the view. One curious effect tt bad as the sun declined: that of veiling all the minor features of the mountsin ridges, and causing them to stand up as if perpendicular against one another or against the sky. As to just iow many, aod what, mountains, valleys rivers, brooks, lakes and lakeleis were to be seen in the sweep of view—that is the pro- vince of the guide book to tell. We made our way leisurely down topping to admire and to pick bine berries, in about equal pro- portions, and reached our hotel at dusk la a condition of bealthful fatigue, and with a superb reiieh for the brook trout, light rolls, and other appetizing things of the sapper table. And this is of course the end desired in recreative trips. To day we shall tackle some more mountains, FEOM THE SUBLIME TO OUR DISTRICT SCHOOL-BOARD. I see that some of the talented spellers. Jografers, and Feather-dusters, who seem to be running our District school-board, have been saying some unkind things about the editor of THE STAR. Jografer Hovey, for instance, charges that the editor has at- tempted, with a whip, a plantation whip, to drive him and his asecciates; and further, that the eaitor, per quotation from the Capi- tal, has called him—General Hovey—no less— an ass! Mr. Hovey is slightly illogical; THE STaR is much too busy and practical to waste time in attempting to drive asses. Neither will it be driven by asses.
