He entered the service of the United States in May, 1861, in the Second Rhode laland vol unteers as a private, being promoted, subsequently, to sergeant. 2d lieutenant, and Ist lieutenant of that regiment. After aome service in the Second Rhode Island volunteers, he was honorably dis charged to accept the commission in the United States regular army as Ist lieu tenant in the Thirteenth infantry, being brevetted lieutenant colonel for gallant ry at the battle of Missionary Ridge, lie remained in the army until IS6'., when he was discharged for disability, and received a pension of sl. per month. Col. Jufly acquired real estate after his return from tho army, and ujron becoming naturalized, was permit ted to vote. Having lost his real estate from the vicissitudes ol fortune he has lost his right to vote. The case of Hon. Thomas Davis, for merly a member of Congress from Rhode Island, is given in the following con densation of his testimony : Live in Providence; foreigner; neut ralized forty-five years ago ; seventy-five years old ; a manufacturing jeweler been in both branches of the Legislature a num ber of limes ; member of Congress from Rhode Island in ; then owned real estate; I am net now n qualified vot er ; 1 failed tn business and the title to mv property passed to my assignees, and I cannot now vole; colored men now vote here like native born whites, while every foreign born citizen is excluded unless ho owns real estate ; the effect of this is bad ; it makes the voters mercenary ; wealth controls suffrage in Rhode Island ; money is all-powerful here; it can overwhelm public sentiment at any time here ; have been both a Republican and a Democrat, but always advocated the repeal of this restriction. Tbos. McMurrough.—Naturalized; can not vote ; no real estate ; am president of the Rhode Island suffrage association ; presented a memorial praying for exten sion of suffrago to foreign born citizens ; father lived in Massachusetts, a naturaliz ed citizen and a voter there; the line he tween the Stales was changed and we were thrown into Rhode Island ; we cannot vote now, for we own no land ; at least ft,ooo naturalized citizens in the State who can not vote. Daniel Donovan.—Naturalised j camo from Connecticut; lived in the Unit*] State* since five year* old ; am a skilled in* hanic ; ton of u* work together in one room in our factory ; the highest grade room in it; a *tx of the ten arS foreigner* and cannot vote for want of land j a house and lot to suit my family would coat me *B,OOO. Instance* are described in the testi mony where naturalised citizen* who were the holder* of real property have been disfranchised because of the con demnation of their real property for city purpose*. In the case of the Brooke street condemnation for the city of Providence, there were forty three persons previously entitled to vote who became disfranchised under the law when the tract was condemned for city use*. In this case these men were denied the privilege of voting be fore the title to the pro|>erty passeo out of them to the city, and before they had received their pay for it. Repeated efforts have been made to secure the alteration of the constitution of Rhode Island in regard to property qualification* for foreign born citisens, but they have always lieen defeated. Special instances are shown where Stale senator* and representatives have voted to submit the question of the extension of suffrage to the vote of the people, and then have done everything in their power at the polls to defeat it. In the case of the submission of the question of the extension of sufl'rago fo soldiers ami snilor* who had served in Rhode Inland regiments during the war, sub mitted during tho presidential canvass of IM7G, the teatimony shows that it waa made a party question at the polls. Witnesses testify that a minority of her people has ruled Rhode Island for more than fifteen yeaia pant, and that the opposition to tho extension of suf- Irago came mainly from those now in power, who fear the loss of place that would follow. Your committee believd that there are good grounda for the complainta made, that the government of Rhode Inland, under its present constitution, is nearer an oligarchy than a democracy. The disfranchisement of so large a per centage of her people, by systematic ef fort anil rigidly enforced statutes, the small vote cast for president at a hotly contested election, the smalt number ol votes cast for members of Congress in four successive elections, when contrast ed with the number cast in other States in the same elections, the choice of members of Congress, governors and presidents by the votes of one out of every twenty of the people, whilst other States cast one for every five of theirs, the maintenance of the rule of three fifths for tho amendment of her cona'.i tution, by which the will of the majori ty has been twice defeated, all compel us to recognize Rhode island as differ ent in her government, her constitu tions, and her policy from all her sister commonwealths in the Union, and lead us to grasp at any provision of the Fed eral Constitution which, fairly constru ed, will grunt us power to enforce, for her people, "a republican form of gov ernment," by which we mean a govern ment by the whole people, for the whole people ol the State. It was urged upon your committee with great learning and logic, that these provisions of the constitution and laws, with the practice under them were in effect an oligarchical government, and not one of a republican form, and that under article 4, section 4, of the Consti tution of the United States, it was the duty of Congress to so legislate, as to compel a change in the rule of suffrage by tbo State, which would cause its people to have equal privilege* with those of other States. It is undoubtedly true, that this au thority given to the Federal govern ment suppose* and recognizes a pre existing government of the form which is to be guaranteed, and that the form must be substantially republican. A State cannot change a republican for an aristocratic or monarchical form of gov ernment, but it may substitute another republican form for that which existed at its admission to the Union, and the clause of gunranty to the United States, is applicable to the latter as it was to the former. As her charter stood when Rhode Island entered the Union, no one could be a voter without owning real estate or being the eldest son ol such real estate owner. This rule ap plied equally to native and foreign born citizens. Ry her constitution of 1842, she has enlarged the right as to natjve citizens, and restricted it as to those of foreign birth. The change is one which gives rise to inequality in the exercise of the right as between different classes of citizens, but widena the field in its general scope. The practice tinder the committee, is vicious and demoralizing, added right, in the opinion of your and the discrimination against foreign born citizens is anti-republican in its character, but the form of the govern ment of Rhode Island is still republi can, and cannot be interfered with by us. The whole question is one of the right and power of the State to regulate the rule ol suffrage, as it affects presi dential electors and members of Con gress. This power and right under the Constitution of the United States is with the States and not under the con trol of Congress. The Federal system bases its very existence upon the rights of the Stales 'to regulate the rule of suf frage. The existence of the Federal govern ment depends upon the existence of the State governments. Without exist ing in their entirety it absolutely falls into chaos. It cannot continue itself for an hour hour. There are three great parts of the Federal—the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. The legis lative has two branches—the House and the Senate. There can be no House of Representatives of the United States after the State governments have end ed. The governments of the States must exist or the popular branch of Congress fails to exist. This is as cer tain as it is that there is a Constitution of the United States. In the Constitu tion ol the United States the regulation as to suffrage is in these words : The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year tho people of the several States, and thr electore in each State shall hare the fualijtcafiims requisite for electors of the most numerous branch 'if the State f/yitfa turet. The electors for the House of Repre sentatives of the United States are those who are qualified electors for the legis latttres of the Slates. Qualified how ? Qualified by whom? Qualified by the federal government f No; but quali fied by the Slates. The electors for the members of the legislatures of the States are the electors for member* of the House of Representatives, and they are to be qualified by and under the constitutions of the States. If you have no qualification of electors for the mem bers of the legislatures of the States, you have under the constitution no criterion to determine who are to he electors for members of Congress. There is no measure of qualification, except as it is found in the clause quoted, which provides that the electors for members of the United States House of Represen tatives are the electors of the Slate who are qualified by State constitutions and State lawa to vote for members of the Legislature. If there be none of these, there can be none for members of the Federal House, and it logically follows that the existence of the State legisla ture is vital to the existence of that branch of the Federnl government, for In their absence you have no criterion, no qualification under the constitution itself. Do we presume to exercise that power heref I>o we assert that we can grasp that power snd regulate by ■ Federal statute the qualification of voters f If we do, we make a consoli dated government out of a democratic republic. The members of the Senate of the United States are chosen by the legis latures of the States. Article 1, section 3, provides: The Senate of the United States shall bo composed of two Senators from each State, chosen In/ thr. I,eon the State governments, and all j resting finally upon the people of the j States, qualified as voters by State con : stitutions and State laws. We now see that the State governments are vital to ! the existence of every branch of the Federal government, and that the vot ers of the States arc essential to the vitality of every branch of the Federal government. They cannot be inter fered with by Federal power. The su preme court of the United States has expressly decided that suffrage is under - State control, and so far as it can be \ settled it is judicially settled. The clear teaching of every part of our system forbids us to interfere or : seek to meddle with the power of the State upon tbia most vital of all her I rights, and as we see that the people of ! the States, r/uahhed by the hurt of the : States, are the voters of the Federal gov ernment, we cannot and dare not enter tain the thought suggested by those who softer in Rhode Island. Their remedy ; lies in another field. There is, therefore, nothing in these provisions of the constitution and laws j of Rhode Island which, in the opinion of your committee, are in conflict with t the constitution of the United States, , for the regulation of it* rule of suffrage is a subject for each State to determine i for itself; but your committee do not deem it a waste of time to point out the great discrepancy that exists among the several States as to the exercise of suffrage by foreign born citizens, nor to call attention to the fact that Rhode Island is the only State in the I'nion in which natives and foreign-horn citi zens stand u|>on different grounds as to State qualifications for the right of suf frage. The laws of the United Slates require I a residence of five years within the country liefore a foreigner can be natu ralised. This makes him a citizen of tho United States; hut he may be a voter for members of I'-ongress, or for electors for President, or lor members of a State legislature who elect a United States Senator, after he has resided six months in the country if he lives in Kansss, Nebraska, Colorado or Georgia, or witbin twelve months' residence in Alabama, Aikanfas, Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, f >regon, Texas and Wisconsin. A naturalised foreigner can vote in California after a six months' residence; Connecticut, after a residence ol one year if l.e lie able to read any article of the constitution or any section of the statutes of the Stale; Delaware, after one years' residence, if he have paid taxes; Illinois, after one years' resi dence; iowa, six months' residence; Kentucky, two years' residence; Louisi ana. one years' residence ; Maine, three months; Maryland,one year; Michigan, three months; Mississippi, six months' residence; Nevada, six months; New Hampshire and New Jersey, one year; North Csrolina, one year; Ohio, one year; South Carolina, one year: Ten nessee, one year; Vermont and Vir ginia, one year; and Weal Virginia, one year in the State. The same residence is required in these twenty one States of the native born citizens.* in these States residence is superadd ed by State authority as a qualification to voting for all officers. State as well as Federal. In Maasachusetts (wo years, in Pennsylvania thirty days, and in New York ten days ara added by the Slate authority to the oualiflcaUon of five years; and in Rhode Island ownership of real estate must bo in the naturalized foreigner before he is a voter. These differences are founded in the policy of the respective Mtates, but there is no one of them in which payment of taxes, length of residence or educational qualifications are not imposed alike ujon the native and the foreign-born citizen, save the case of Rhode island and it* property qualification. The vice of its system, and the wrong to the general welfare, consists in its in equality—in it* deliberate disfranchise ment of foreign-born citizens by a rule which i*ermil* so gross a discrimination as is demonstrated by the proof taken by your committee. ——— • m - The Story of a House.

It is a long shed-like structure, with doors at both ends and one in the middle of one of the sides. The man ner of its construction shows that it i* not intended for a mild latitude. The sides of the building are double and the windows are double, while the doors are I protected by a sort of a vestibule or win ; tor door. This is the house which Capt. ! Howgate intends to take on his expedi : lion tothe North Pole, a bill authorizing I the expediton having passed the House J last week. This frame house is to be j used for the pur|>ose of carrying out a plan which ha* for some years been ad vocated by Arctic explorers and claimed by them to he the only effectual one for I finally solving the problem of reaching I the North Pole, After it has been con j strucled it will be taken to pieces and ! placed on the vessel which is to convey the explorers northward. It is the pur pose of Capt. Howgate, whom the bill has placed in exclusive charge of the expedition, hut who will not go in per son, to have this building erected on the west coast of Smith's sound, about eighty-one and a-half degrees north : latitude, where the English ship Discov ery,of Nare's expedition of 1875, winter" ed, and just a little north of the highest point reached by Dr. Hayes in 1861 and just opposite Thank God harbor, where the Polaris wintered in 1871. This 1 point is chosen principally because the i English expedition discovered a vein of I coal in the neighborhood, Mtisk ox were also found in this vicinity. Here ' will be established a permanent depot. J The supplies will he placed on shore, ; and the men will take possession of the ' house, which wilt be banket! up with i *>now and ice for additional warmth. From this point parties will be sent northward by sledge and boat, having this permanent base of supplies to fali upon. There is a further advantage of having a headquarters on land instead of a vessel as heretofore, as there is no danger of its destruction by ice pressure and other casualties incident to a vessel. TheGulnare, a vessel of 200 tons, which is to be used in conveying the exploring party and their supplies to the North, is now lying in the shipyard, at Alexan dria, being prepared for the navigation among the bergs and ice floes of the Arctic sea. The expedition will be under the direction of naval officers to be indicated by Mr. Hayes, and will be under naval discipline. The vessel will be ready to sail about the middle of May. and after landing the men at the northern station will return and next i year make another trip, with additional supplies and men. The men will be come acclimated and there being no necessity for their return owing to a failure of their supplies, their opera tions can be prolonged until, it is thought, success will crown their efforts and the last triumph of modern discov ery achieved. The money necessary to carry out this scheme has already been secured through private subscriptions, and the Government will only be called upon for the official recognition which is obtained by the present bill. When the expedition shall have started there will be four other Ameri can exploring parties in the Arctic region*: The Herald expedition, undtr Lieut. De Long, U. 8. Army, which passed through Behring's straits last fall: the party sent owt in the summer of 1878, by the American Geographical " Society, under Lieut. Schwatka, U. 8. army, to search for the records of Sir John Franklin's expedition, in the region north of Hudson's bay: the coast survey expedition, under Lieut. I hill, engaged in surveys about Alaska, and the revenue cutter, sent to the relief of twenty American whalers, caught in the ice to the north of Alaska. How the Tiger Hides. Sport sad Wort. George was after a fine male tiger. He was followed up fast, but coming to a broad nullah, full of water, he sud denly lost sight of his game. He look- # ed up and down the bank, aud on the opposite bank, but could see no traces of the tiger. Looking down he saw in the water what he first took to be e Urge bullfrog. There was not a ripple on the placid, stagnant surfaoe of the pool, lie marveled much, and just then his mabout pointed to the sup posed bullfrog, and in an excited whis- Cr implored George to fire. A keen >k convinced George that it reelly wss the tiger. It wss totally immersed, all but the face, and lying so still that not the faintet motion or ripple was perceptible. He fired and inflicted a terrible wound. The tiger bounded msdly forward, and George gave it ita quietus through the spine. A nearly similar case occurred to old lfr. C. A tiger bolted toward a small tank or pond, and though the line followed up in hot pursuit the brute disappeared. Old C., keener than the others, was loth to give up the pursuit, and presently discovered a yellowish reflection in the clear water. Feering more intently, he could discover the yellowish tawny out line of the cunning animal, totally im mersed in the water, save ita eyes, ears and nose. He shot the tiger dead, and it sank to the bottom like a stone. 8o perfectly had it concealed itself that the other sportsmen could not for the life of them imagine what old a had fired at till his mahout got down and began to haul the dead animal out of the water.
