A correspondent inquires if the Committeomen can attond to the onrollment of electors. No; elec- tors to be added to the registry must personally go before the Registers; but we again urge Committee- men to seo that voters should not neglect this im- perative duty. The Union-Republican Convention of the VIth District last night nominated the Hon. Charles 8. Spencer of the Sixtoenth Ward for Representative in Congross. Of this District, the fon. Henry J. Raymond is the presont Representative. Mr. Spencor is & Radical supporter of the majority in Congress, and his party will make noble effort to compass his election by & strong majority. The Baltimore Association for the Improvement and Education of the Freedmen held a meeting yester- day, which was addressed by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and Chief-Justice Chato. It was somothing new to have beard such men speaking in oconjunction at Bakimore for such an object, and it justified Mr. Beecher's prediction, that even in Maryland, five or ton more years of progress will shame, by enlighten- mont, the prejudices of blinded men. e ————— ‘We print an interesting abstract of the forthcoming report of Secretary McCulloch, which shows au in- crease of $100,000,000 of Internal Revenue in the past year, and of $90,000,000 in customs, with a surplus of receipts over expenses of $37,000,- 000. Facts such as these indicate with what cer- tainty the couutry can, under able mauagoment, avoid financial embarrassment, and return to specie pay- ments. THE BASES OF RESTORATION. Tho results of the October Elections removo all rational doubt of the emphatio indorsement by the uniformly loyal States of the terms of reconstruction matured and submitted to the States by Congress in the shape of an Amendment to the Federal Constitu- tion. That Amendment has already been ratified by the Legislatures of several States, including Connec- ticut, New-Hampshire, New-Jorsey, and Oregon. The fact that few Legislatures have been in session since it passed Congress bas alone prevented its gen- eral ratification. Other States are sure to follow very soon. And, though we have so often published the Amendment aforesaid, we are urged to print it again, as there are some who still say they are not familiar with its terms. It is as follows: Joust RusoroTion pr a0 amendment to the Coustitation of nited States. Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of .El'"lmullnly the United Stater of America asembled (two thirds of both ' following rticls be proposed to the an smendment Lo the Conetitu ich, when_ ratified by throo-fourtiie of said Loziniatures. shalt be valid ss part of the Cotatication, nawe'y ARTICLE XIV.—Skcrion All persons bors or natural. ized in the United States and subject to the tion thor, aro eitizens of the United States and of th do.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative ia or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold , eivil or military, under the United States or under 3 0, having ember of Congress, or as ax s member of any State L udi cial officer of auy St ustitution of the Uuited States, shall engu| ection or rebellon ainst the same, or given aid and cowfort to the enemics cross may, by a vote of two-thirds of cach remove such disability The validity of the public debt of the United States authorized by law, {ncluding debts incurred for payment of peusions and bounties for services in suppressin i and rebellion, shall not he qnestioned i States nor any State shall assume or pay any ( incurred o aid of insurrcction or rebel States, or any elaim for the loss or emanc but ‘uu such debts, obligations or claims shal voil. S¥C. 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appro- priate legislation, the provisions of this article. ~That this Amendment will be sustained and rati- fied we cannot doubt. The only probable alternative is & decision by the ruling politicians of the South that it will be wiser and every way better for them to come into perfect accord with the North by proposing or accepting the simpler, clearer, more conclusive platform of Universal Amnesty, Impartial Suffrage. e REVOLUTIONIZING GOLD. We noted yestorday the startling dispatch from The Philadelphia Ledger, in reference tothe President's overtures to revolution, not without a reserve of doubt 48 to its truth. The Ledger still asserts that its report is authentic and indubitable, but has not given its suthority, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Stansberry posi- tively declare the dispatch to be absolutely false, and this conclusion must be accepted. The effect of the forgery upon the gold market was more decided than that of any news received since the end of the war. Gold, which opened at 151, rose, on the announcement that the Prosident had addressed these revolutionary questions to the Attorney-General, to 1533; and on the denial of its truth fell suddenly to 150§, closivg at 151}. This fact has given reason for the suspicion that the telogram was manufactured in the interest of gold speoulators, and it is currently rcported, as st least & oconfirmation, that & stockholder in The Ledger has rocently been a large buyer of gold at a much less price. Fortunes have been made upon the strength of this falschood, United m of any slave ; be held illegal and hot ita Drompt exposure prevents auv neruanent rise in gold. Wo hope the perpetrator of the forgery will bo forreted out and punished as he deserves to be, and The Ledger owes the public afull explanation of the manner in which it obtained its pretended in- formation. Of the Philadelphia journals The Ledger has hitherto Dbeen one of the least sensational, a fact which ob- tained for the dispatch much of its credibility. But it is & melancholy truth that the chief plausibility of the report was derived from the course of the Presi- dent. o has done so much in contravention of the laws Congress has established, and has so frequently denounced Congress a8 & revolutionary and unconsti- tutional body, that the rumor of his intention to oarry his words into action seemod scarcely an im- probability. The treason of the North and the hang- ing of Thad. Stevens have boen & long the burden of Mr. Johnson's speoches that the public were propared for any madness. But the elections, in teaching him the spirit of the people, have, we hope, taught him the dignity of prudence. LOYALTY AT THE SOUTH. The Legislature of Bouth Carolina, at its recent short cxtra session, took an important and laudable stop toward the true restoration of the Union in superseding or softening all aots which degrade and oppross the majority of her people because of their raco and color. We have already chronicled the fact, but the act is ono that doserves to be placed on record. [Iere aro its exact torms: AN ACT TO DECLARR THE RIONTS OF PERRONS LATELY KNOWN A8 SLAVES AND AB FREE PERSONS OF COLOR. Be it enacted, d., That all persons hitherto known in law in this Stato as slaves. o as free porsons of color, shall have the Tight fo make and enforco contracts, to sue, be sued, o be athants and_ give evidence, o iuherit, to. purchase, hold, convey and assign roal and porsonal property, muke wills B T eTuta: and £ have ful and oqual [eneit of the right " of personal security, porsonal liberty and private property, and o 'l remedios and proceedings for the enforcement aud pro- {ection of the same, ax White persans now have, and shall not e subjected to any other or different punishment. pain or pen- alty, for the commission of any act o offense, than such as are Droscribed for White persous committing like aots or offonscs. s That all ncts and parts of acts specially relating to 18 of color, contrary to the irovisions of this act, o {nconaistont with any of i1+ provisions, wnd and the same are hereby repealed ; Provided, That Rothing herein contained shall be construed to repeal so much ighth soction of an act entitled “ An net to establish Iute the domestio relations of persons of color, and to amend the law in relation to paupers and vagraney, ratified the twenty-first_day December, in the year of our Lord one thou- sand eight hundred and wixty-five, as enacts that marriages between 8 White pervon and @ person of color shall be illegal and void." —This is a most comprehensive and admirable act; and it is cheering to note how fow words of righteous legislation will dispose of whole volumes of the other sort. Here is a wholo law library of acts, decisions, digests, opinions, and rulings, blotted out by two sec- tions of justioe. The South Carolina Whites, being & decided mi- nority of the whole people, still rotain in their hands & monopoly of office and political power. No colored person can vote orsit on a jury, or be even a pathmas. ter, as their constitution and laws now stand. This is as unwise as selfish. If tho Whites had seen fit to enact that in all cases of legal controversy between Blacks, the issue should be tried before a Black jury, or at least that the parties might have a Black jury if they both desired it, they would have shown greater wisdom and forecast, and would have made a begin- ning toward educating their colored people for the duties that will inevitably devolve on them. Itisa pity that statesmen think they cannot afford to doso well as they know. As to the punishment of intermarriages between ‘Whites and Blacks as & high crime, we could abide it with greater patience if immoral, lowd connections botwoen suoh persons were likewiso punished. Let any Stato forbid and punish these counections, and she may make kindred marriages as penal as sho chooses. But, 8o long as South Carolina allows her wealthy, educated White men to keep colored mis- trosses with impunity, not even rebuked by the law, 80 long, ot least, will her law agaiust intermarriages bo o scandalous wrong, and sbo shall be exhorted to repent and amend. Of course, we all understand that the good intent of this new act will not be realized at ouce. Whites will continue to oppress Blacks in spite of the new act; and their superior wealth, intelligence, and tho- nopoly of power will enable thom to do it with com- parative impunity. But public opinion follows law, and gradually molds practice into conformity to it. At first, a Black sueing a White may be defeated in court through the sympathy of White officers, jury- men, &o.; but the tendency toward improvement will Do steady aud invincible, and, ere many years have passed, the laws of South Carolina will be even juster than now, as well as better enforoed. We rejoice that she is on the right road, and bas just taken along stride thereon. ~Now let us turn to Texas, the most remote and loast thoroughly whipped Btate in the late Confederacy. Her Legislature met August 6—before the Maine election, while that of South Carolina met directly thereaftor. The very first bills submitted to it pro- posed an appropriation of §50,000 to buy wooden legs for Confederate soldiers who had lost their legs in the late Civil War. Common decency would have required that this bill be so worded as to provide wooden legs for all Texans so unfortunate as to need them; but common decency does not rule in that Legislature. The Learty Unionists of Texas are at least oue- fourth of her people, and own their full proportion of property; and it is not right to tax them to provile wooden legs especially for the Rebels who Lunted, tortured, maimed, and murdered Unionists becanse of their loyalty. Let the ex-Rebels of Tesas supply their soldiers with wooden legs—muliogany, if they will—they ought to do it, if it takes half their proper- ty—but they bave no right to make Unionists foot the bill. Yet the resolve was promptly adopted, and we presume some Yaukee is by this time supplying (through a Southron) the legs. On the seventh day of the session, in the House— leaso, well, latoly slaves and free port by — Hero, again, is the common property of all property Texans taken to reward men for fighting to dissolve the Union. It would have been barely decorous to make this appropriation to all soldiers, Union or Rebei, who had been disabled in the late War; but no—the reconstructed provide for Rebels alone. Itis andacious. A bill was next submitted to the House proposing the establishment of County and District Common Schools (for Whites only), with a proviso that no Yankee Puritan shall ever be employed therein, We have not learned its fate, nor that Texas has yet en- acted that, whenever the play of Hamlet is performed in that State, the part of Hamlet shall be omitted. In the Senato of this loyal State, the following pro ceedings were had: Senator Shelley introduced a resolution reciting that the . State Cometery " has been lately used for tho interment of dead Federal soldiers. The Senator thinks this ought to he remedied. The cemetery has onl{ been used herctofore for the manes of the distinguishied sons of Texas. Here reposed Burle- son, Hemphill, McCulloch (Ben.), and McCloud. Tt that * any one " should be lnid there by their side w sulting the State. e moved that & tracf Gov e appropriated for the use of the United States Government for this purpose, and that the said ¥ederal soldiers be disin- terred and removed thence. Senator Foscus thought the * vile dust " of these mercenarion was unworthy to be mingled with that of the distinguished ieroes and stutesmen of the Lone Star State. The State Ceme- tery should not be polluted by the entrance into its sacred pre- cincts of such trash. 1t is a notorfous truth that the soldicrs of mx' fin'nlu Army lr‘:h‘a very “ seum ol'tlu :lmh." Even ',‘| mittiug them otherwise, it was a place set aside especially for the “ashes of Texans," and he it would never be used for any other purpose. Referred to a Bpecial Committee. —1Is n't it a wonder that the North should distrust the loyalty of these delightful exemplars of the benefi- cent influence of ** My Policy 1" The next demonstration was made by Senator Bauflley, as follows: Whereas, During the lgte cieil war between the Northern and Southern soctions of the United States, thousands of the sons of Texns Infd down their lives npon distant battlefields in do- fense of what they sincerely believed a sacred and inalieuable fiwl i and hereas, The rtes of sepultnre have not beeu properly be- stowed upon the maues of many of thoss noble martyrs to the cause of their country. and their sacred (rms uow lio undraped and uninterred, exposed 1o the bleak storms of Northorn Win- ters and the sultry suns of Southern Summers; ¢ re be it Resotved, That acres of Lund, out of the 100,000,000 acres belonging to this sovereign Atate, be given for the purposo of Liying out & cometery, in which shiall be deposited the remaing o ek aforesaid ehildren: that the Governor of the St and he is_hereby, authorized to appoint son (who shall be allowed Lo appoint such assistants a8 he may dovin Sncexsary), whoun duty it shall be to visit every battle-field upon which Texas troops liave d during the late war ; and that_said agent wse e avor to identify nd collect the remaina of said Texas . and bring them to b buried in the bosom of the * people they loved so we That this resolution upply as well to those while prisoners of war, of wounds reoeived in the army, or disease contracted in Northern prisons. That the sum of $—— be appropriated, out of an otherwise appropriated for the purpose of resolution. Read first and second times, and referred to the Committeo on State Affuirs. The Senate thereupon appropriately passed to the orders of the day, as follows: Orveks 0¥ THE DAY.—A joint resolution, assuring the Pres. ident of the United States of the loyalty of the of T and asking that the troops now quartered in the interior be moved to the frontier, wns taken from the President’s desk, read d time, and ordered to be engrossed. Upon motion of Senator Stell, the rule was suspended, resoln tion put upon its third reading, and passed. —Wo have already stated the fact that Judge John Tancock, who at first had a * sure thing” of being a 1. 8. Senator from Western Texas, was ultimately do- foated because, though a Rebel, he was shown to have « caved"” before the final collapse of the Rebellion. Here is tho record of the doings in caucus that ** fixed" him: The caucus met Sept. 3—Judge Ashbol Smith in the chair. Hancock's supporters had a clear majority, and defeated a motion to adjourn. Senator Record then yory defiantly aaked if any charges wore preforred_againat the Ho. John Hancock. W koreupon, soue ember inquired if the Hon. Mr. Short of Shelby was prescnt ! Mr. Short_of Shelby was present. The member then asked the Hon.

Peaso (Radical) 7: Burnott's clear majority, 15. O. M. Roberts (who presided over tho Convention that passod the ordinance of Se- cossion) was then chosen Senator from Eastern Texas, by 61 votes to 49 for B. H. Epperson, (also Rebel.) Mr. Roberts presided also over the recent Convention that assumed to restore Texas to the Union, and ob- jected therein to exacting an oath of allegiance to the Union, on the assumption that the Convention was a sovereign body, and should take no oath of allegiance to any power whatever. ~The Legislature of Texas having rejected the Constitational Amendment submitted to the States by Congress, hor Secretary of State, by direction, re- turned itto the State Department at Washington, with a message importing that Texas had vo use for it. 8o far, s0 good. Now we insist that it shall not bo sent her again until sho ascertains that she has a use for it, and signifies in plain terms her conscious- ness of the fact. Oze such insult to Congress aud the loyal States should suffice; or, at all events, another ! not be ilflml._-_ THE CONTESTED SEATS. present Congress was compelled to act on severnl cases of contested seats. The Republican majority being noarly three to one, while party f ing ran very high, there was great danger that politics would exert an influence over their decisions. So far, however, it woull seem that the People, on ap- peal, have sustained the action of the majority. In the XVIth District of Pennsylvania, A. H. Cof- froth (Dem.) was returned to the present House, and | held the seat several months. The House, on a con- | gave it to Gen. Wm, H. Kooutz (Repub.) The peoplo have just reélected Gen. Koontz by a far larger majority than be claims to have received in 1564, In the XXIst District, Gen. Dawson (Dem.) was roturned by 125 majority. Smith Fuller (Repub.) contested, The House confirmed Gen, Dawson in the seat. John Covode (Repub.) now carries that district by 350 majority. From the VIIth District of Indiana, Daniel W. Voorhees (Dem.) was roturned by 554 majority. Gen. Heury D. Washburne (Re- pub.) contested, claiming that a heavy frandulent vote had been polled for Voorhees. The House finally decided that it was so, and gave the seat to Gen. Washburne. He has just carried the District | for the XLth Congress by 600 majority. —_— Robel PENNSYLVANIA. The general result in Pennsylvania is substantially as wo have already stated—a sum of eighteen Repub- lican Congressmen elect, of whom two are positive gains. Gen. Henry L. Cake's majority in the Xth District is 185 over his opponent, Dr. C. M. Glonnin- gor, and this is due, we do not doubt, more to the emergent and rising intelligence of the people than to the personal worth of the candidate, The XXIst Dis- trict will retarn the Hon. John Covode, a popular representative man of his State, after an absence for a term from Congress. His majority of 350 is a very decided one, viewing the fact that his District pre- viously elected a Copperhead as unrepentant and in- veterate as the Hon. John L. Dawson. The Radical candidate in the XIIth District, Mr. James Archibald, has manfully determined to contest the fraudulent redlection of his competitor, the Hon. ‘Wm. Dennison, its present member of Congress. There can be no doubt whatever as to the lawless and disgraceful moans undertaken to bring about this Cop- perhead sucoess. On the day of election 300 falsq nat- uralisgtion pavers, already filled out, were reized at Hyde Park, s small dependence of the City of Seran- i ton, and wo have trustworthy assurance that over 2,000 illegal votes were polled in Luzerne County. Mr. Archibald’s technical defeat is wholly out of pro- portion to his popularity and influence in the Dis- triot wherein he rosides, and, as he is but 700 votes be- hind his competitor, he will inevitably contest tho case, with the best chance of rendering another gain to the Radical delegation in Congress. OHIO. Of the States which on Tuesday hold their elections Ohio is likely to olaim the bauner. Almost every part of the State makes the most cheering reports, aud Democratio gains, outside of Cincinnati, are rare exceptions. The Republican majority of 1865 (29,936) has been nearly doubled, as the latest dis- patches indicate that it will not fall below 45,000. Tho following are tho majorities in the counties hoard from, compared with the majorities of 1865: Countir. Uslon Majorltee, Counties Democratic Belmont The only thing to mar this glorious vlotory is the probable defeat of Columbus Delano in the XIIIth Dis- trict. All the ohter Republican candidates in the Re- publican Districts have been elocted,and the Congres- sional delegation will therefore stand 16 Republicans to 3 Democrats. ILLINOIS. The lists for Congress in Illtnoia for the election which is to take place on the first Tuesday of Novem- ber, have just been completed, and are arrayed as fol- lows, with the vote at thelast election—renominations in italica: Dist. Union-Rep. Vote 1864 Dem. Tote 184 r Judd.......18557 Col. F. Sherman (prob.) 14,277 11 J, F. Farnaworth E. M. Haines ......... 5257 1L E. B We v v VI B X. enry Caso..12,176 A, G. Burr.. XL E.

Eloven out of the fourteen members of Congress from Illinois are Radicals, eight of whom have been re- nominated in justico to their efficient service in the last session. The smallest Republican majorities are 848 in the IVth District (Harding's) and 65 in the XIIth (Baker's), whioh our friends, if fully alive to their work will maintain and increase. The Demo- crats have strong majorities in the IXth, Xth and XIth Districts. In 1864, Lincoln's majority in the State was 30,736, and that for Congressman at large, 31,442. At the election for county officers in November of 1865, the Republicans did not lose a single county, and gained their tickets in more than 20 counties hitherto regarded Democratic. Illinois will elect ou the 6th of next month, in addition to members of Congress, a State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and members of Legislature to choose a successor to U. 8. Senator Trumbull. Her ticket is carefully choson, and her canvass conducted with wide-spread woal. We do not therefore contemplate her loss, while there is much in her past, and in the recent yviotories of Pennsylvania in the West, to inspire 8 gain in majorities at least. INDIANA. In addition te carrying the State by a majority safely reported at 13,000, and electing eight Members of Congress, the Union men of Indiana have in- croased their representation in the Legislature by a roported gain of six or sevon Senators and as many Reprosentatives. This gives a strong working majority, and insuros tho eleotion of a Radi- cal United States Senator. To the intense grati- fication of all loyal menin the State, Cobb, the most obnoxious Copperhead in the Senate, has been defeated. To mar, in part, the completenoss of the people’s victory over the President, Holman, the im- perturbable ** objector” of the XXXVIIIth Congress, defoated two years ago, has been elocted by the Cop- perheads of the IVth District. The new Legislature of the State is estimated—32 Radicals and 18 Demo- crats in the Senate; and in the House 63 Radicals and 37 Democrats, Ou joint ballot, the Union-Republi- can majority would be 40, which ought to insure a strong successor to the Hon. Henry S. Lane. A CARD. The receipt of numerous letters of inquiry, &e., from patrons of ** The American Conflict"—lotters which I am unable to answer in the beat of a stirring canvass —impels me to state briefly, 1. That Vol. IL (and last) is now published; 2. That the publishers are supplying their local agents (or canvassers) nearly as fast as their orders are reccived, so that those agents are respousible for any delay in the delivery of the work; and 3 That the publishers (0. D. Case & Co., Hartford, Conn.) are sole proprietors of the book, pay- ing me & stipulated copyright on each volume sold. All appeals from the agents lie to them, and it is idle to write me in the premises. Letters suggesting cor- rections (only) should be addressed to New-York, Oct. 11, 1366, HorACE GREELEY. e The consequences of a want of an enlightened and progressive system in our dealing with the Indians may be still further seen in the new troubles which have broken out around the border of New-Mexico and Colorado. Gen. Carleton, commanding the Gov- ernment forces in the former Territory, apprises the Governor of Colorado of the danger of a general In- dian war growing out of the quarrels incident to a state of starvation among the Ute and Apache tribes, The Indians, having exhausted their hunting-grounds, have killed and eaten all the stock that belonged to them, and now aro compelled to beg, steal or starve. Gen. Carleton prudently represents that he cannot make war upou a people whom it is rather our interest to feed. Wo must either do this at a small expense of charity, or encounter hungry and hostile savages twice the availablo number ot our own forces. Itis the standing shame of our Territorial misgovernment that we havo been able to allow the Indians no better use of their lives than by maintaining them in a state balf beggarly and quite savage. As it is, it is cheaper to feed than to fight them. e e— Philadeiphia elected, on Tuesday last, four Re- publican and one Democratic Congressmen, one Democratic State Senator, thirteen Republican and five Democratic mombers of the Lower House of the Legislatare.

WASHINGTON. — WAsHIGTON, Thursday, Oct. 11, 1855, A FALSE REPORT. Tho roport that the President has concentrated 25,000 troops in this neighborhood is without foundation, as the following is an accurate roster of the troops in the Departmeat of Washington, which extends from Aunapolis, Md, to George town, D. C.; 12th U.S. Infantry, 3th, I7th, éth, and Ist, 30 Battalion Veteran Reserve Corps, 107th U. 8. Colored Troops, threo companies 5th U, 8. Cavalry, three companies 4tk U. 8. Artillery—2,000 troops in all THE GREAT STORM. The storm here has been the severest ever experi- eneed, and the damage done will exceed $50,00). The Potomae has risen over a foot higher than the great fresoet of 134, All tlie wharves are submerged, and the river is filled with lumber, out-houses and wreeks of bridges. Bladensburgh is overflowad, and the fences and embankments about most of the residences washod away. Rock Creok, that soparates Georgetown from Washington, is choked with the debris of wrecked baildings and lumber yards. The large brick saw-mill at the jusction with the Potomac is a third uader water, and every indication is that the bui will bo destroyed by the rushing torrent. Al that portion of Georgetown occupied by commercial interests is overflowing with water fromfour to seven foet deep, and, as the tide rises to-uight at 3 o'clock, cousiders- ble consternation exists that that portion of the ity will be ruined. News fro Harper's Ferry to-night states the Shen- andoa and Potomac rivers are rapidly rising. Fhe trains do not pass over the bridge, and it is doubtful whother it will stand much longer. The dam mear Great Fulls, 15 miles up the Potomac, is reported broken in, and the anal is dry; this was an expensive masoury. The trains from Baltimore were delayed this morning until aftes 1 o' clock by the ridge over a little croek near Savage Switeh, 20 miles from this city, being woakenod by a land slide, and tonight the New-York train did not leave, as it was telegraphed the bridge had been carried away. Several sewers iu this city have been Lroken in. The storm still rages, but somewhat abated. INDIAN DIFFICULTIES. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs received from Gor. Cummings yesterday a telegram stating upon the author- ity of Gen. Carson, commanding at Fort Garland. New-Mexico, ear the Colorado frontidr, that a portion of the Ftah tribe had Dbroken out into open war. It was thought by careful manage- ment the hostile feeling might be prevented from spreading to the Tahequahe tribes of Colorado, who liave beea quite restless of late on account of delays in the recept of their promised an- nuities. The goods liad arrived, and Gov. Cummings intended to distribute them at once. The destitution among the Ladians of New-Moxico is described by Gen. Jus. N. Carleto, com- manding at Clumaron, under date of. August 25, 1866, as fol- lows : ™Y it tho Ute and Apache Indisos who mide s bis ace are wholly destitute of food.
