How do such arguments look now ' These tin- the days of great fires. Al though in actual extent that of Chicago will be ranked as the laigest, yet, iclative ly, the lire at Portland, Oregon, Saturday, is one of the largest that ever devastated any portion of the continent. Its popula tion, two years ago, was a trifle over eighty two hundred, yet in addition to mills, ho tels, factories, etc., one bundled stotesand two hundred and fifty dwelliug houses, were burned. With our present methods of building houses, stores, etc., good luck, more than anything else, stays the progress of a fire when It once gets headway. Hut land learned from sad experience how to build, ami it seems that all other commu nities must learn the needed lessson In the same way. i i 1 1: ivr.w itnoiu: isi,am cam:. Mo matter how carefully a law or con stitutional provision may be worded, the construction thereof is quest toned for years. Tlirec-fourtlis of the time of our courts of last resort aro occupied in deter mining what certain words in a particular statute, or article of the constitution, ac tually mean, or what the legislature intend ed to provide thereby. Over three-imartcrs of a century has elapsed since the adoption of the federal constitution and most of tho amendments thereto excepting, of course, the last three and yet the meaning of the different clauses or provisions thereof nrc constantly coming up for adjudication. It is not a matter of surprise, then, that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments aro not fully understood, and that now claims are continually being made thereunder. The language, to be, sure, seems plain, the idea apparently intended to be conveyed is concisely expressed and, taken in connec tlon with other parts of that instrument and its construction, as authoritlvely de clared by the Supreme Court of the United States whose province it is to so eonstruo it there ought to be no room for doubt. Hut there teems to be, as Susan 11. Antho ny, under the advice of eminent and learned counsel, claimed and exercised the right to vote under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and was punished therefor. She Is now, we may remark parenthetically, demonstrating her gratitude to her counsel by circulating a petition for the appoint ment of Judge Selden to the Chief Juitice. ship of the United States. Although It is aside from the purpose of the present arti cle, we cannot forbear remarking that tho "woman suffragists," ns they call them selves, are endeavoring to use the same tac tica empolyed by some of our fellow-clll-zens at the west, of electing judges pledged to decide given eases In a given way that Is, decide the case and then hear arguments without paying attention thereto. lint to return. The constitution of Itliodu Island provides that only such nat uralized foreign born citizens as me own ers of real estate, within the common wealth, shall be entitled to the right of suf fragc therein. The provision Is one of the lelicHofthe "charter" under which that state was long governed, and which wai the cause of the "Dorr liebellion," and is akin to the provision In the New York con stitution that no colored man shall vote un less he has resided in the state three years, and is "possessed of a fieeliold estate of the value of two hundred and fifty dollars over and aliove nil incumbrances." These pro visions are brought into especial promi nence, just now, as a former naturalized citizen of Massachusetts, who is now, and for some time has been, a resident of Khodc Island, but who possesses no real es tate therein, although ho Is tho owner of real estate In Massachusetts, offered his vote at the last general election and, on being refused, commenced a suit against the Inspectors of election, or some of them, which suit la now coming on for trial. Ho lias employed eminent counsel, and bases Ids claim of a right to vote, as Susan B. Anthony did, on the fourteenth and fif teenth amendments. In considering this question, It is necessary to refer to the text of these constitutional provisions. Tho fourteenth amendment provides that "all persons bom or naturalized In tho United States, and subject to tho jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of tho United States and of tho states wherein they reside. No statesh all abridge the privileges or immunl ties of citizens of the United States," Tho fifteenth amendment, following out, In a measure, the some Idea, declares that " the rights of citizens of tho United States to vote shall not bo denied or abridged by tho United States, or any state, on account of race, color or previous condition of servi tude." We have, thus for, only quoted Wio provisions under which tho naturalized rcsl dent of niiode Island claims n right to yoto therein, and upon which his suit Is based. It Is claimed that tho provision of tho con stitution of Rhode Island is in conflict with, and contrary to, the constitution of tho United States and, therefore, void. If tho provision of tho Rhode Island constitu tion la void it must, also, necessarily fol low that that of New York Is, likewise, void. In this connection, ns bearing upon tho question of construction and supposed conflict, or, rather, tho opinion that was held In reference to tho effect of llicso amendments, it may bo sold that both were ratified by the states of New York and Rhode Island, and that no determined movement has been mado to change the constitutions of tlieso stales in tills respect. It becomes material to enquire what ore the "privileges or Immunities of citizens of the United States," which states aro foi bid den to abridge. It will bo noticed that the state is non forbidden to abridge tho Immunities and privileges of Its own citizens, but only those of citi zens of the United States, and It Is necessary to bear this In mind. Another thing Is especially noticeable. The first section of the fourteenth amendment ex cept, perhaps, in declaring who shall be citizens docs not essentially niter or amend the former provisions of the consti tution. The original inrustmcnt declared that "the citizens of each stale shall be en titled lo all the privileges and Immunities of tho citizens of the several states," and under this no claim of u right to vote, con trary to a prohibition contained In n state constitution, was ever made. The last clause "of the amendment which wo do not quote as It lias nothing to do with the the case under consideration Is, also, n re declaration of n provision always contain ed In the constitution. The whole object of the nuicmlmant was not to make any chango In tho "privileges and Immunities" enjoyed by the citizens of t lie seveial states hi each oilier, but to make that instru ment conform to the new order of tilings at the south, to recognize 1 lie lato slave as u citizen and to prevent any disci iminntion being made between a white orcoloicd man in the states. The "privileges and immunities" spoken of havu been lepeat edly before the courts for definition, and although the will, probably, continue to occupy more or less of their attention, they have been pretty generally fixed, so that tho only controversy, hereafter, will be whether or not a certain claim can be so classed. These "privileges and immuni ties" are declared, in one reported case, to be "the right of life and liberty ; the rigid to acquire and possess property, to trans act business, to proeuic happiness in his own manner, subject to such restraint ns the government may adjudge to lie neces sary for the general good." Another case says, in substance, that it means a citizen lias the light to go to the capital, or else where, at will, to make claims against the general government, transact business with it, demand its protection. "He has tho right of free access to Its scapoits, through w hicli all operations of foreign commerce are transacted ; to the sub-treasuries, land offices and courts of justice In the several states." In the celebrated New Orleans slaughter house case, Mr. Justice Miller defined other of these "privileges" to be "to demand the care and protection of the federal government of his life, liberty and property w lien on the high seas or within the jurisdiction of a foreign government. The right to assemble and petition for a redress of grievances, mid the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus." Such then, and of this nature, nro the "privileges and immunities" which cannot be abridged. No matter in w hat particular state, a person may reside he is entitled to these rights, privileges and immunities and cannot, constitutionally or legally, lie de prived thereof. Applying these principles to the Rhode Island case, it is evident that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments do not confer the right of suffrage upon an individual, when lie is debarred that priv ilege by the organic law of the state. The absurdity of the claim may be seen, aside from any legal argument, by this simple Illustration. liy the constitution, we men citizen of the United States and, under the laws of Vermont, we are entitled lo vote in Rutland to-day. If privileges and immu nities," as it Is claimed, Involves the rigid to vole, then wo can, alio, vole in Troy or Boston to-day. because we enjoy the "privilege mid Immunity" of voting in Vermont, and .Massachusetts and New York are prohibited from making or en forcing any law which shall abridge our privileges or Immunities. Further thin this, the fourteenth amendment expressly recognizes the right of the individual state to control the matter of suffrage, by pro viding that when the right to vote for cer tain officers is denied "or in any way abridged," except for crime or p irticipatinn in rebellion, "the luslsof lepiesentation" in congress "shall bo reduced in the pro portion" which the number of disfranchised shall hear to the whole number of male citizens over twenty-one years of nge. Furthermore, it is well settled that the rigid of suffrage is derived from the stale and not from the nation. The United States does not attempt to control it, it only undertakes to prevent unjust discrim ination, by providing that if discrimination h made the state shall suffer therefor by diminished representation. If we mo right in our views, and they aro in accordance with common senso and judicial decisions, then the Ithode Island plaintiff is without remedy at law, and his voto was properly lcfiiscd. The only method by which ho can obtain the right of suffrage is to be como a free holder or procure an amend ment to tho constitution of Rhode Island. Such is the law and constitutional pro visions, as we understand them, and wo trust the people will keep on agitating until all enjoy the right of suffrage, subject only to such provisions as may be rendered ne cessary to preserve the purity of the ballot box and procure an intelligent expression of ll0 pcoplo therein. CHINA. Wo wcro congratulating ourselves, the other day, that light was breaking in tho cast, and drew pleasant auguries from tho fact that tho Emperor of China had, for tho first time, granted a personal audienco to foreign ministers. Wo seemed to bco In this movement tho breaking of one of tho links which has bo long chained China down to cxcluslvencss. If ono will glance backward, and contrast tho relations which Cliina sustained to other countries, only a few years ago, with tho present condition, It will bo a matter of somo wonder that so much success has attended tho endeavors which hayo been mado to break down this wall of cxcluslvencss. A largo proportion of her commercial business Is now' trans- acted by foreigners, and oycry facility and privilege Is accorded to merchants and ship pers that' could reasonably bo asked. We allow the Importation of certain classes of foreign goods Into the United States, and exact tho payment of duties thereon, which go to support tho government. All of these duties or customs nro levied for revenue, although somo of them are en hanced for tho express purpose of protect ing homo Industry. Indeed, whllo wo do not absolutely prohibit the importation of any article of use, necessity or luxury, yet wo place the duties on certain articles at so high a rate as to effectually prohibit their Importation, and such Is, confessedly, tho object in so fixing the duties. Whether duties should bo levied and collected solely for revenue, or should, also, have In view the protection of homo industry, Is n ques tion upon which American citizens differ, but which they claim and exercise the right to decide for themselves. No foreign power has the rigid or power to interfere In the decision of lids qucstlon,'and none have ever nttcniptcd to Interfere. Should such an attempt be mado It would, at once, bo resented and, if needs be, at the point of the bayonet, lias not China the same light and power? Confessedly she lias, yet, the roielgn ministers necreddited to that government are. the telegraph informs us, determined lo compel China to revise her custom duties. Tliey, also, claim other lights and concessions, which were fully detailed In our telegraphic columns, Monday, and are determined to enforce them, it may, pel haps, bo light and pro per that those concessions should be grant ed, but China alone has the light to deter mine It. We are told that the Chinese arc naturally suspicious and jealous; if so, the elfect of these enforced demands will be to levive the old cxcluslvencss. It would bo but natural that China should resent these demands. The United States would resent them. Nations cannot be conciliated any more than individuals by the principle of taking an ell where an inch is granted, ItloiitlK'llcr ami ituiluiHl Itnilroml. The people along the line of the proposed Montpelicr and Rutland railroad are still at wtnk, with the hope of carrying through the project. The people of Rutland have as yet done little towards tills Important project, and perhaps have not fully under stood the project as the press have said cry little upon the subject, only as they learned It through the Montpelicr papers. The subject is ono worthy of the attention of Rutland, and if she desire the load and wishes to give It eneouragcnicnt,now is the time for lis consideration. Our town lias lost one road by inaction, and its busi ness has materially suffeied in consequence, and if the enlargement of Its business and the upbuilding of the town is desired, now is the time befoic it is too lute. Had the Rutland and Woodstock railroad been built three years ago, when it ought to havo been, the population, business and propel ty would have been twice what it is to-day. Now Rutland can havo both, will the pcoplu make a forward movement? Tho charter of the Montpelicr and Rut land railroad was granted at the last ses sion of the legislature, mid a convention Mas held at Rochester to take steps for asur vey. Sami Wells of Montpelicr, John Cain, of Rutland, and Hiram Caiieton, of Waitsfield, were appointed a committee to assess tho several towns along the route for a permanent survey. Rutland was then assessed 1200. Since that time a prelimi nary survey lias developed that the road must be via Sherburne, and that the Wood stock survey can be adopted from Rutland to Sherburne, and if Rutland will now raise iJOOO, the other towns along the line will pay the baliince. The committee have had a meeting with in a few days and assurances are made that the road will go if Rutland helps with the survey, as she ought to do. The New York interests instead of Hoston operators having now control of our Vermont rail roads has changed the complexion of alfalrs favorably to this enterprise, and leading men in tho New York, Hoston and Montreal, as well as the Delaware and Hudson interest, favor tills project. Now tho question miscs, will Rutland longer sit down at the foot of the mountain with her hands folded, when with tho aid of Rut land, not only can the Montpelicr and Rutland road, hut also the Rutland and Woodstock be built by forming a junction at Shclhurn, and making a com mon route to Rutland. Never was a better opportunity ofered to Rutland to help herself for if she does not wish to advance her own nitciests it is very certain her neighbors will not help her. Let selfish ne.ss lie thrown aside, let every man take olf his coat and go nt work with a will and in earnest, and success will crown the effort, Rutland cannot afford to let tills opportunity slip by of securing two addi tloual lines of railroad. We suggest a citizens meeting at an eaily day, and see what they will do towards the survey of tho Montpelicr and Rutland railroad, for without a survey, no forward movement can bo made. Let our citizens consider this subject seriously mid candidly, and not pass it idly by, for It is an important, if not a vital interest. Suriilotfu Notes. Hon. James Gibson of Salem, N.

Tlieso aro the extensive- works of tho Hcnnliigtou Manu facturing Company, more generally known ns Hunt's shawl factory, of which S. II. Hunt is president, nnd Mr. Drysdalo super intendent and treasurer.' The main build ing is 220 feet long, by 53 feet wide, four stories and an attic. The gas house in the rear Is 40x25, In which the gas Is generated that supplies the mill, the houses of Messrs. Hunt and Drysdale, the store of the com pany and the extensive knitting mill of George Bradford Si Sons. There Is also a blacksmith and machine shop, nnd twenty six tenement houses that aro rented to the workmen. The mill Is built with all tho modern Improvements, Is run and heated entirely by Btcam ; Is supplied with a largo elevator, with flre-cscapcs at each cud, and to make tho building more secure against fire, a six-inch Iron pipe rims through the entire building with BUillcicnt hose on cacli story to reach any part of it, and in the attic an eight-inch pipe tilled with holes, so that the whole building can be Hooded at a moment's notice. The principal business of the company Is tho manufacture of woolen shawls, while at present they aro manufacturing largo quantities of water-proof cloaks. They cm ploy two hundred hands, consume annually 400,000 Hounds of wxil and their pay-roll amounts to about $i5,000 per mouth. The machinery Is Imported from Scotland, Is run by a Wood & Mann engine of 140 horse power, aud the company annually consume COO tons of coal. The total cost of the mill, Including machinery, was over 000,000. The main office of the linn is at 72 Reade street, New York, with a branch on Dcano street. The wool is first taken Into tho sorting room ; after being sorted it is dropped into the cleansing or scouring tanks Immediately under, where It Is thoroughly washed, all done hy ma chinery, then Into the drying-room, which is kept hot by means of steam pipes, and from tills to the store-room, where it is stored in bins built for that purpose. From hence it goes to the picking-room where are twelve largo tanks, one for each color, over each of which is a large faucet to supply it with water, from an eight-inch pipe, wlilic the bottom of each is so constructed that tho water is run off easily at any time. The water Used for drying purposes is brought a distance of two miles, from the same reservoir that supplies tho magnificent fountain on the grounds of Mr. Hunt, be ing considered better than any other on ac count of its purity. The attic is now used ns a stoic-mom, but it is proposed nt some future time to fill it with machinery. Passing from this to the fourth story, is the cardlng-room, which Is filled entirely with curding machinery. Here is been n new feeding machine just imported from Scotland, which weighs every pound of wool quicker than it can lie done by hand, and will do the work of twelve American machines. The third story is used for the spinning room, where aro eighteen sets of operating mules. The second story Is used ns a weaving, pattern and spooling room. There are fifty looms, each loom having six shuttles. The patterns for different kinds of shawls are here set up, also the spools aro all wound here. This branch alone keeps twenty persons busy. The first or ground floor is for packing and finishing rooms. Here the fringes arc twisted and cut, both on one machine, the shawls being put on at the same time, after which they arc thoroughly washed and wrung, hy machin ery and then are placed on a large revolv ing drum that is kept hot, and are dried in one revolution of tho same, when they aro pressed and ready for the packer. They make all goods and prices of woolen shawls, and their goods find n ready market. Mr. Iluntspends most of his time in New York. Mr. Drysdalo remains hero all the while, and although a resident of Helming ton but a few years, has made many friends, and is considered one of its most upright business men. SPOUTING. MILLIARDS. A billiard exhibition took plate at the Grand Hotel, Saratoga on Friday afternoon. Tho contestants in friendly strife being the well-known Albert Gamier, who carried off all the honors at the recent three ball championship match In New York, and Maurice Daly the present champion of American billiards, (four balls). The first game was at 100 points French, which was won by Daly by a score ot 100 to I). He making a run of 88 in the second inning. The second game was ouo of COO points, at the four ball game.

Tho great prlzo fight between Gcorgo Scddons and Arthur Chambers was settled Sunday morning, ou Coney Island. After tho attempt at Far Rockaway, the men quietly returned to their places of business. Both of them nro proprietors of liquor stores. Chambers owns a place In New ark, and Scddons has n liquor store In Grand street, near Fourth street, Williams burgh. When these men first became ac quainted they wcro fast friends. Each ad mired the other, aud they spoko admiring ly of cacli other to third parties. During all this time, however, they were watching cacli other and learning what they could of each other's points. After Scddons received tho battle money In the last fight, and after they struck cacli other in the Clipper office, they became niTTEU ENI'.MIF.S. A woman whom they hod known In tho old country was the cause of their enmity. When Scddons was arrested at Rockaway, Chambers on arriving at tho ground de clared he would whip Gcorgo onslglit. Red Lenrcy and Douuclly, of New York, inter ested themselves In Scddons' belialf, Har ney Anion und another New York sport did the same for Chambers. Saturday, afternoon the parties met in Seddon's. At 10 o'clock Red Lenrcy and others visited tho place and told George to take the coacli and drive to a well-known sporting house In Brooklyn At the tlmo ho was behind the bar. George Lees, alias the "Snatcheni," took charge, and kept tho crowd in the place while George nnd the others took n coach. Of those who were In the saloon at the time four wero nrcstcd In Bedford avenue, running nftcr the coach. Three others on being twigged by "Snatch em," went to "Mlkcy Coburn's." Both Riley and Mlkcy, on being told what was in the wind, wero Indifferent. WHAT A IIKAVV WEIGHT SAID. Mr. Cobiirn said that the light could not take place without Ids knowledge ns he had been taking care of the boj-. Mr. Riley, however, thought that Arthur would go and fight without letting them know of it, as lie was anxious to have a run in with him. While tlieso and the de luded Williamsburgh sports were talking the battle was going on. The failure of tho arrangements for a light at Rockaway on the 2Gtli lilt., wns due to the fact that too many know the place selected. The result was carefully guarded against for the next venture and the preparations were made with so much secrecy that even the principals did not know where the null was to be fought until they were set down on the spot. Only a very few knew that the fight was on for Sunday morning, and these knew not when they started where they were going. After the arrival of the principals at 1:30 in the morning, they were cared for and made ready for the battle. At 3:30 they stripped and entered the ring. There were about twenty spectators. Bill Donnelly was appointed referee. The fighters wero eagerly scanned, nnd every ono saw that they meant business. No stake awaited the winner, but In view of tho fact that $2,000 had been taken by Scddons In the match without a fight, and all the talk about their unwillingness to fight, each man felt that tho tlmo had come to sec which was the better man The spectators made no bets. They were drawn to see tho fight, nnd speculation was untlioiight of. Billy Donnelly called time, and THE FIOIIT began. It was soon shown that Jtho men wcro In earnest. Neither played a waiting game, but botli went In to finish. Round followed round with unusual rapidity, and knock downs scarcely delayed the fight. Chambers fought fiercely, and Scddons was seen to bo overmatched, for from the start until Kid Lcany threw up tho spougo in token of Seddon's defeat Chambers had everything his own way. They fought over one hour nnd forty minutes. Nothing dnunted, however, Scddons promptly toed the mark at tho call of time on each round. Tho spectators scarcely moved as the fight developed into the most gamey contest ever witnessed. Chambers' fighting was declared to be tho most scien tific, and sklliful ever shown. Ho carried all before him. First blood, first knock down, and every point in succession was rightfully given him by the referee. Scd dons bore the fearful punishment from Chambers without flinching and missed no chance to reach him with a counter. Con dition and training ou Chambers' sido were met by Scddons with a spirit that called forth his greatest exertions. SEDDONS DISA1II.ED. At last In tho third round Scddons dislo cated tho knuckles of his right hand. Ho was not in condition, nnd at tho end when taken from tho ring his right eye was closed and his fnce puffed and swollen. In tho last round Chambers, with a stunning blow, knocked Scddons out of time. When ho recovered ho wished to renew tho tight, but was restrained by his friends, who threw up tho spongo and told him he might give up tho fight. Scddons was plucky to tho last, and would have fought to tho dcatli had lie been allowed. C1IAMIIK1SS BTIiONG AND FIIES1I. Chambers came out fresh, and could havo stood all day. His skill is so great that ho can fight without making hard work of it, and his training aud physique will bear tho stralnlong enough to exhaust almost any man who can bo stood beforo him. Seddon's friends say that ho would havo mado n fight that would havo stood a good chance of winning had ho been in shape. They say that ho was without sleep the night before tho light and his opponent had a good night's rest. They also say that ho had been drinking freely for a week pro ceeding the fight and his training was hardly worthy of tho name. On tho conclusion of Mr. Donnelly's speech announcing Seddon's defeat Cham bers started for Newark. Scddons was taken to a hotel, where ho remained until 0 o'clock last night. Ho was then taken to his homo in North Fiftli Btrcct. His tnju lies aro slight. Except an abrasion on tho left check ho bears no mark of the long battle. A TAUNT FBOU BEDDONS. It Is Bald that Scddons, during tho third round, when ho broke his knuckle and knocked Clmmlwrs down, turned to Barney Aaron, after looking at his prostrate oppo nent, and said, "That is what I would like to give to you." Ned Leary says that ho never saw a finer piece of work. After ho had struck Cham bers, Arthur stood bewildered, and before ho recovered himself Scddons gayo hlin an other blow under tho car, saying, "Arthur, you know if I was right, I could do this all day." A match for $2,000 has been mado be tween theso men, to fight again within ninety days. 1'crsoiifil. Rev. Mr. Cook, pastor of tlto Congrega tional church at Ludlow Is absent on a vacation. Hon.
