Constitution by striking out the word “male’ 
from the qualifications of voters, was lost.

The revolution in Italy is ended. On Sun¬

Monte Rotondo, and moved forward to attack 
Tivoli, which was held by the Papal troops. He 
found the latter, to the number of 0,000 men, 
posted In a strong position, and supported by 
artillery. The Pontifical troops immediately 
opened fire with their batteries upon the ap¬ 
proaching Garihaldians. A desperate conflict 
ensued, which lasted forty-five minutes, when 
Garibaldi retreated. The battle was renewed at

The election passed off very quietly on the 5th 
inst. Good order prevailed generally throughout 
the State. As usual, there were several disturb¬ 
ances in New York and Brooklyn during the day, 
and three or four men were reported killed. 
Many arrests were made there for illegal voting. 
The Democrats carried the State ticket by a large 
majority—nearly filly thousand. They have also 
elected a majority of the members of Assembly. 
The Senate will stand: Republicans 18, Demo¬ 
crats 14. The Democrats therefore will have 
a majority on joint-ballot of the Legislature.

THE WESTERN RURAL 
Riot in Haiti, —At Port au Prince on the 
night of October 12th, the Assembly demanded 
of the Ministry that Leon Montez should be 
liberated, maintaining that he was unconstitu¬ 
tionally kept in shackles at Cape Haytien. A 
tnob of 6,000 men and women surrounded the 
House of Assembly, who, however, managed to 
make good their escape. The mob kept firing 
on the palace, cheering all the while for Salnarc, 
at whose instigation they threatened to sack the 
city. Salnare is taking every measure to secure 
himself in permanent occupancy of the Presi¬ 
dential chair.

Editor Rural: — Your readers know some¬ 
thing of the Saginaw Valley, and its river into 
which flow tributary streams, with 1,000 miles 
of rat'table waters,— marshes along its banks for 
twenty miles up its course, not oi dead water, 
but open to the ebb and flood of river and lake; 
level lands of grc-ut richness, and more undula¬ 
ting portions almost equally rich: belts of heavy 
pine, and forests of other kinds; ferine well cul¬ 
tivated ; trees rapidly falling before the keen 
axes of thousands of lumbermen; three towns 
or cities, of some 80,000 people in alL; immense 
sawmills, some of which ent daily 100,000 feet; 
salt blocks along the river, street cars, hotels — 
like this “ Taylor House ” at which I stop—equal 
to the best iu your eity. 
Such is this valley to-day, literally carved out 
of the wilderness in the last, twenty years, and 
mostly in half that time. For business, the sup¬
