A propositon to amend the Constitu-
tion of the United States, so as to de-
prive the people of the several States
forever of all control of the question of
suffrage, hay passed the lower House
of Congress, and is about to pass the
United States Senate, and will, in all
probability, within a few weeks, be
submitted to the State legislature for
ratification. The manner in which
this amendment, is sought to be engraf-
ted upon the Constitution, is intended
to avoid the direct judgement of the
people upon the question, and is a de-
| liberate fraud upon those who are op-
posed to its adoption. The legislatures
now in existance were elected without
reference to this issue. The radical ma.

upon the express understanding that

A Town Innudated —Fifteen Lives
Lost.
Bethel, Conn., Feb. 1.—The damage
to life and property at Danbury last
night, by the freshet in the Danbury
river, was very extensive. The
Cohanzie dam brokeaway first, and the
water rushed down and broke the
other dams in the same stream, and
kept on increasing in volume and pow-
er until it reached the town, it swept
away several dwelling houses and
bridges. Fifteen lives were lost by
drowning and the intense ¢old. Up
td this hour eleven bodies have been
found. Four persons are missing:
Three were standing on one ofthe
bridges, watching the water asit rush-
ed down, but before they could reach
the shore the bridge upon which they
were standing was carried away and
they were all drowned. A lady be-
coming terrified at the freshet, was
drowned by imprudently attempting
to leave her house whileit was sur-
rounded by water and huge cakes of
ice. :

REMONSTRANCE
To the Honorable the Senate and House
of Representatives of the Common-

Assembly met ;
The undersigned, eitizens of
| county, without distinction of party, do
| most respectfully but earnestly and
| solemly remonstrate against the ratifi-
| cation, by your honorable bodies, of the
| proposed amendment to the the Consti-
tution of the United States, known as
| Article XV, which provides that “The
| right of any citizen of the United States
to vote and hold office shall not be de-
nied or abridged by the United States,
or any State, by reason of race, or color,
or previous condition of slavery of any
citizen or class of citizens of the United
States.” We do protest against the
ratification of the same, for the reason
that under the Constitution, as it now
stands, the people of the several States
| have complete control over the ques-
| tion of suffrage, and the people have not
been consulted as to whether they are
willing to part with this important
privilege, and in the language of the
platform upon which Gen, Grant was
| elected to the Presidency, we do insist
that “the question of suffrage in all the
loyal States properly belongs to the
people of those States. We, therefore,
do most solemnly remonstrate against
the ratification of the proposed amend-
ment, known as Article XV, by the
present legislature. Respectfully sub-
mitted.
We ask that all newspapers opposed
to the forestalling of the people, upon
this question of suffrage, publish the
above remonstrance and call upon their
readers to take copies of it to be signed
by their friends and forwarded to the
legislature. A general movement of
the popular masses, with a detirmina-
tion to be heard by their representa-
tives in th: legislature, will prevent
the consumation of this contemplated
crime against the reserved rights of
the States and the people. Democrats,

Horrible Murder.
Chicago, February 1.—A terrible
tragedy occurred in Merwin county,
Towa, thirty miles from Des Moines, on
Saturday. A man named (George
Shaffer, who had twice deserted his
wife, returned recently and ordered her
to leave her father’s house. On Sat-
urday he went there with a loaded re
volver ¢ his wife’s mother met him at
the door, and after knocking her down
with a chair, he served his wife simi-
larly, and then shot her in the head,
killing her instantly. He next fired
three times at himself, without effect,
failing in which, he gashed his throat
with a butcher’s knife. . The neighbors
found him lying with his head on the
bosom of his murdered wife, with one
of his children in his arms. He de-
clared his premeditation to kill his
wife, even if he had to murder the
whole family. He was taken to Red
Rock. His age is twenty-five.

Nine Years of War Between Hus-
band and Wife.
A most eurious and strange illustra
tion of inherent love of warin the bu.
man bosom is given in the history of a
man and wife, now living in Maury
County, Tennessee, within six miles of
Columbia. An old couple, who were
once happy and enjoyed life, as mach
perhaps, as it is possible for a married
couple to enjoy it, live in the locality
indicated. They own a small proper-
ty but have no children, they eat their
meals together daily, except when the
old man is out hunting, at which time
the lady of the house enjoyed her grub
in silence. Every evening in the year,
except one, they oecupy opposite sides
of the fire places, one whiffing tobacco
smoke up the chimney and the other
chewing snuff and growling to herself.
Not a word passes. About ten o'clock
they simultaneously rise and go to bed
in silence.
The exceptional day to this beauti-
cember, commonly called, in this
Christian country, “Christmas Day,”
when there oceurs a regular old-fash-
ion fight between the silenttwain,
This is an annual battle, and like other
fights, is a eontest for the supremacy
of an idea It wasinaugrated in this
wise,
Nearly ten yearsago, on Christmas
Day in the morning, the old man went
out hunting for schmething fat for din-
ner. After an absence of a bout five
hours, he returned with an animal of
some sort, and slinging it on the floor,
he triumphantly exclaimed : “There,
there, Betty, is a ground-hog for din-
ner.” Betty turned the affuir over
with the toe of her brogan, gazed in-
tently for two minuets, and then delip-
erately said :
“Faugh! it’s a skunk.”
The husband didn't like this expres- |
sion of opinion on the part of his be- |
loved, but being a mild man, and anx- |
ious to retain the long standing good
feeling between them he contented |
himself with a gentle reiteration of his |
first remark. The lady became firm
also, and even indulged in a sort of
subdued sneer at the ignorance of her
hnstmnd. He waxed cross,
“I tell you Bet, it is a ground-hog
and I don't want to be contradicted.”
But the lady contradicted. “I tell
you it is,” and “I tell you it ain't.”
followed each other with increasing ra-
pidity and virulence, until the storm
assumed the shape of blows. The man
pinched, and the woman scratched,
until both became exhausted and had
to quit from sheer weariness.
Next day when coolvess and reflec-
tion superseded heat and passion, both
silently regretted the unfortunzte dif:
ference of opinion, which left the head
of the house with half his beard and
very little hair, and the lady two eyes
of unusual darkness: but they spoke
not. No both were two proud and
guilty for that. They remained si-
lent until a whole year had rolled
roun and Christmas day again came on,
while enjoying a cup of thick, black
coffee and a greasy corn dodger the
wife mildly ventured a remark to the
effect that they had been very foolish
a year ago to fall out and pound each
other about so miserable a thing asa
skunk.
“Yes,” said the repentent husband,
“it was darned wicked of us, and we
oughtn’t ha’ done it, but you forget,
Bet, that was a ground-hog and not a
skunk.’
Bet did not forget; she had reson to
to remember, although the black eyes
were all gone then, but knew it was a
skunk, The husband though it a
scheme for her to hold the same opin-
inn still, particularly when she knew it
to be a ground-hog. She knew it was
a skusk—he knew it was a hog. She
knew different. The violence again
crept in, words waxcd hot and blows
followed. The scene of the former
Christmas Day was re-enacted to a,
nicety, and both went to bed exhaus-
ted, with-blacker eyesin her head and
less hair on his. They were redentent
and silence next day, and spent the
year without speaking ; but when the
anniversary arrived the same scene
was gone through with religious pre-
cision, and has gone through with
every Christmas since. The people
for miles around have become a ware
of these annual idiosyncraies in the
lonely and peculiur pair, and look for-
tt
ward with much interest to the devel
opments of the coming Christmas, It
may be proper to remark, for the sake
of perspicuity, that the lady's eyes,’
from being roiginally a light gray baye
become n coaly black from the periodi-
cal dying which her eonsideraté hus-
band gives them ; and Wis hair has en
tirely disappeared, owing to the early
operatinos of her long fingers,
There are various opinions enters
tained as to when the war will end,
but the generel belief is that the lady
will use up the old man in a few more
1
fights.
A Brave Women’s Fight With
Burglars.
A Charleston, (8S. C.) Journal gives
the following account ofa recent des
perate encounter between two burglars
and a courageous lady of that city :
“On Tuesday morning between four
and five o'clock, while Mr. and Mrs.
George Martin living at No, 17 Ann
street, were lying in bed, Mrs Martin,
whe happened to be awake, saw two
colored men enter the window of her
chamber from the piazza. Mrs, Mar-
tin lay perfectly quiet, and tried to
rouse her husband, who was sound
asleep. One of the burglars remained
in the chamber, while the other went
into an adjoining room. ' The one who
remained in the chamber went towards
the bed, and felt under the pillow; he
had a large butcher's knife in his
hand, which he held over Mr, Martin.
When the burglar left the bed, he
placed the knife in his teeth, and walk-
about the room, searching the drawers
from which he took thirty-five dollars
in greenbacks and five dollars in one
dollars pieces. After uwhile he again
approached the bedside of Mr. Martin,
and elevated the huge knife over him.
Mrs. Martin with great coolness and
courage, then jumped up and seized an
artillery sword near the bed, and while
the burglars arm was extended over
her sleeping husband, struck the bur-
glar a terrible blow whicl: caused the
knife to fall from his grasp, Whilehe
stooped to pick up the knife she gave
him a cut on the head, and as his face
blow on the forehead. The burglar
rushed at the hervic woman and sue-
ceded in giving her a severe kick in the
side, breaking two of her ribs, which
caused her to faint and: fall. This
woke Mr. Martin, who instantly leaped
out of bed, but only in time to see both
scoundrels jump out of the window.
“Mrs. Martin is still in bed, suffer-
ing from the effects of the severe blow
in the side which broke her ribs, but is
doing well.”

to each stock, and a perk of shelled
corn hanging to each tassel, but we
never could raise any field beans with
it.
“Why?”
“Because the corn grew so fast that
it always pulled the beans up with
it.”
