ANNULLING THE CONSTITUTION
Murat Halstead the well-known edl
tor of the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette writos an article for the Forum
this month under the title at of "The
Nulllfiors of the Constitution" in
which ho sooks to show by statistical
tables giving Domocratic and Itepubll-
cau vote of tho Southern States by con
ercssional districts iu 1880 as compar
ed with the vote of 1869 or 1870 that
tho colored cltlzon has boon practical'
ly disfrauchisod and that by that dis-
franchisement tho XlVth amend
ment to tho constitution has been
nullified aud should bo so declarod by
tho supremo court. Tho amendment
referred to gives cltizeuship to tho
colored cltion aud providos that the
representation in congress and tho
voto for President aud Vlco Presidont
should be basod upon the population.
aud provides that should any males
entitled to voto be doprlved of that
risrht bv tho nooplo of any State at
any Inderal election mo rcprcsouia
tion of that Stato in congress and its
voto for'l'rcsidont shall bo propor
tionately reduced. Mr. HaMead con
tends thai tho negroes of tho South
are by forco and intimidation pre
vented Irom exercisiug their right of
suffrage aud that thereby tbo XlVth
amendment is nulliflod and made void
aud a test should be made before the
supremo court.
The statistics given by Mr. Halstead
show tho Republican aud Democratic
voto and his argumeut based upon
tho assumption that all tho Republi-
can 'votes wore colorod and all the
Democratic votes were white is
very largoly in error. Only a few
carpet-bag and scalawag administra-
tions wore necessary to convince
evon a majority of tho negroes that
tho southern white men were their
best friends aud tho propor men to
govern the south; aud after a few
vcars mauy of the negroes were in
duced to vote with the Democrats;
then there was no opposition to Dem-
ocratic nominees in many districts be
cause there was no hope for the sue
cess ot tho opposition ; hence a great
falling off lu the votes of both parties
and espoclal'y of the Republican party
But Halstead's article shows the inter-
est of the Republican partisans in the
colored man. Tho XlVth amendment
was Intended to strengthen the Re
nublicau party aud perpetuate its
rule; and as soon as the colored In
fluenco is diverted from that direction
they would repeal aud annull the
amendment before the Democratic
appointments make the supreme court
also Democratic.

CHIEP OERONIMO

A Ponsaooin Flo. letter to 37ie Phil-
mlelphia Times says: At the door of
tho first room were two Indian women
seated ou the floor playing curds. Our
oivilization has taught them this. They
censod their game as wo camo up and
nulled ut tho party. Tho soldier wish
us could not interpret so our convorsa
tion was limited to a fow signs.
Next we mot a womnn with a baby
winging on bor buck. She stop pod to
lot us cxamlno tho little fellow. They
havo a most remarkable "instrument
of torture" as wo dubbed it for carry
ing tho "papooses ' until they can
tvnlk. It is of wood shaped something
llko a collin with tho sides very much
lower though. In that tho child is
placed and strapped from its nock down
to its heels its hands straight down by-
its sides so that tho'littlo one can move
its liond only. This arrangement has a
hand of leather which tho niothor
passes around her forehead. When
busy at anything sho stands it up
ngiiinst the wall or a .post! Of all the
babies we saw there we did not hear
ono whimper. Ihe women are very
frlondl and seoinod pleased at tho at-
tention paid them and their childronby
visitors laughing -a groat deal and
showing invariably fino rows of teeth.
Wo saw great quantities of beadwork
baskets otc which they aro busy pre-
paring to sell winter tourists hut wo
did not purchase as Indian work is so
much bettor done by Amoricans now.
Wo soon reached Gcronimo's quar-
ters. He sat on a chair near his door
and ono of his squaws was on the
ground noar him while a baby just
walking played about his feet Within
the room on the bed wero sonlod a littlo
boy and girl jabboring away for all
they wero worth who quite scorned all
our eflorts to attract them to us. Gur-
onimo was more suave than any Indian
man I have ever seen. He smiled and
9hook hands and his manner was al-
most affable. I was much amused to
see the murderous old follow play with
Ills ch id. One of his squaws died last
week but ho didn't mourn very long.
'We had been told that Natchez was
more haughty than all tlio othors. but
I think we caught him on Ills red-letter
day he was so polite. Ho is tho finest
looking of any of the chiefs and his
face is more honest Geroninio has a
blander sinilo but would never inspire
confidence. Natchez' hands and foet
are small. Ha stood up for us to look
at him. Ho is long and litho of limb
and looks as if his strength wore quick
and nervous rather than of tho endur-
ing kind. His hatred of Geroninio does
not seem to abate. In fact tho old
dlplomale as ho is called here is iu
bad odor with the other chiefs. They
hold him accountable for their sur-
endor and have novcr forgiven him.
They are very chary about associating
with him.

The storms of a fow weeks since tor-

them with an awe and dread that noth-

A Great Hay-Mow.
He came from Kokomo or Squash-

at tho Pock Island station yesterday it
iv as evident that it was his first visit to

ihe rumble of the tracks laden with

Sonio great wrltor has remarked: "It
must not bo forgotton that wo spend a
oonsldorablo portion of our lives In
the bed-chambor and therefore its
hoalthfulness cannot fall to havo a very
important bearing upon our physical
well-being." Everybody indood who
is actuated by a duo rogurd for health
and roal comfort will consider an equal
degroo of attontion nocossary iu giving
attention to tho sizo situation temper-
ature and cleanliness of thojipartniont
ho occupios during tho hours of repose
as of the parlor drawing-room or any
other apartment; and yot how vory of-
ton do we find families crowdod at
night in obscure and confined chambers
of dimensions scarcely more ample
than those of an old-fashioned closet
whilo perhaps in the majority of in-
stances the best rooms in the whole
houso are set apart for tho solo purpose
of ostentatious display. Now it is vory
important that tho largest and most
clcvalod room or rooms upon tho
socond floor of tho dwelling bo appro-
priated for tho purposes of Bleeping
and that tho same bo properly voutilat-
od during tho diiy-tlmo and during all
seasons of tho year.
There are few houses tho rooms of
whlch'aro so situated as to rendor good
vontilation impossible and tho influ-
ence of this practice upon tho health of
inmates is too important to permit bo-
ing noglecled from any slight catiso.
A bod-ohamber should be divosted of
all unnecessary furniture and unloss of
considorablo'sizo should never contain
more than ono bed. Thero cannot bo
a more pernicious custom than that pur-
suod by some indood by many families
of having thoir children sleep iu small
apartments with two and somotimes
with thrco bods crowded Into the same
room. It Is scarcely necessary to ob-
sorve that cleanliness in tho most ex-
tensive signification of the torm is if '
possiblo even nioro nocossary with
reforence to tho bed-chambor than
with almost any other upartmont in
the wholo houso. The practice of
slcooping in a room which is occupied
during tho daytimo is extremely un
wise. Perfect cleanliness and sulllcient
froo vontilation cannot under such cir-
cumstances bo preserved especially
during cold wo:ithor; honco tho ii truos-
phore becomes more vitiated and alto
gether unlit for respiration. While too
groat a degree of caution cannot bo ob-
served to avoid Blooping in damp
rooms bods or clothing tho tempera-
ture of tho bed-chambor if possible
should never bo increased under the
ordinary circumstancos of health by
artificial moans. As this apartment is
to bo reserved solely for sloop a fire is
never nocessary excepting possibly
during extromo cold weathor and even
then tho temperature ought not to ex-
ceed fifty dogrecs.

referred to tho system becomes greatly
enervated creating an increased .
susceptibility to tho influence of the
cold air and thus tho way is opened to
tho attack of some of tho most serious
disoaso especially of tho throat and
lungs. Happy indocd should thoso
persons estoom themsclvos whoso
means forbid an indulgence in this form
of luxury! A person accustomod to
undress in a room without a fire and to
seek rcposo in a cold bod will not ex-
perience tho loast inconvenience evon
in tbo severest of Winter weathor. The
natural heat of tho body will vory
speedily render a person under such
circumstances even uioro comfortable
than ho or she w.ll be who sleeps in a
heated apartment as exporienco has
amply verified. But this is not all.
The constitution of tho one accustomod
to sloeping In a room which is not
artificially boated will bo rendered more
robust and strong and far less
susceptible to the Influenoo of artificial
vicissitudes than that person who is
