CnICAGo, Ill.,, Juno 8.
The great Fair was to-day attended
by larger crowd of people than has
vet been seen within the walls. Apart
from tho general ATTRACTIONS which
usuplly have influence, the knowledge
that Gen. Sherman was to be present
madc it almost gala day in the city.
The General entered the Fair at II
o'clock. He was greeted by the thou
sands assembled with tremendous en-
thusiasm. He was introduced by
Mayor Rice in . feeling and appropri-
ate speech; after which, an eulogistic
poem, written expressly for the occa.
sion, by Judo Arlington, was rocitcd
by Mr.. George @ Bates .g'r
Tho General, upon leaving tho plat
form, was surrounded by crowds oI
enthusiastic admirers, and had u Sc
voro task to go through in shaking
hands with the thousands who pressed
around him, eager to participate in the
honor. There were, among these
many MANNED soldiers who had fought
in his army, almost every one ofwhom
he recognized by nano and shook
hands with cordially, There was
throughout tho day, quite an excite
ment wherever the General appeared
and mon of all classes contendcd with
each other in striving who should dc
him most honor. .ai..t,F.

"a Negro has as Much Right to Vote
ms nm IrIshman.D


We find the above in the last Eagle.
We have never expressed ourself
quite so strongly as that, butsince the
Ea9ie has taken the lead in this matter
we will go further and say that "a
Negro has as much right 10 vote as arl
American" Whether as n matter OF
policy it would be wise to extend the
elective franchise to them Immediate
ly, we do not pretend to say. AS to
the right Of suffrage, thcro can be no
question. The free blacks of North
Carolina voted up 10 1875. So in
South Carolina formerly, free blacks
having the requisite amount Of prop.
erty, exercised the elective franchise
This, loo, in the South, where the
blacks were enslavcd but where, il
seems, tie prejudiee against them is
not as biittras at the North.
It would seom that there is large
class Of persons who arc afraid the
negro will become their equal, topro
vent which they must take from him
the rights Of citizen ard keep hin
degraded. They seem afraid that they
viii not be properly estimated, nnlcs.
there is class inferior to them, ant
to keep up an inferior class they will
. degrade the African and keep hin
from enjoying equal political priv
ilcgcs,
Theodore Taten .wrete TO the Mis-
souri, Convention requesting that tn
new Constitution be SO framed rs t,
exclude from the elective franchise al
persons who could not read nor write
and admitting all others. This sh oul,
be the dividing limo, if il We're practi
cable, but we do not believe il is. Ar
intelligent negro is certainly as capable
Of voting as an ignorant white man.
The people are not yot educated N
to allowing negro suffrage. Fit wcr
put to vote to-day, we believe one. hal
Of the Cnion party would vote agains
1t, part from prejudice. and part from
policy. We havc been severely pun
ishcd as nation for the wrongs don
the black race, and We hope justic
will be done hereafter, and future war

WASHINGTON, Juno THE follow.
ing farewell address has been promul'
gated by Major General Slocum to the
Army Of Georgia,
Headquarters Army of Georgia, !
Washington, d. C., Juno 6, 1865. !
SPECIAL ORDER NO. 10.
With tho separation of tho troops
composing this nrmy, in compliance
with recent orders. the organization
known as the Army of Georgia will
virtually cease to exist. Many ofyou
will at once return to your homes. No

While can not rcpress n feeling o!

than has boon dono during the past

ty never before witnessed in any coun'

OF that groat chieitain who led you
through your recent brilliant cam

Should you cvor resume the hon

The demand for the Second Series
Of the Z SO Notes was 80 great that the
Treasury Department was unable to
print them with sufficient rapidity to
fill the orders. 1t will be remembered
that hundred millions were subscrfb-
ed and paid for in single wcok. The
printing presses have finally surmount-
cd the difficulty, and on Wednesday,
Juno 9TH, the deliveries of the Third
Series commenced, and will be contin-
ucd with the same prcmptncss that
marked the supply Of tho notes of the
first and second series. 1t has been
this interruption of delivery at the
time of subscription which has given
an appearance of falling of in the
popular taking Of the loan,-the great
body of small takers being unwilling
to pay their money unless they receive
their notes right in hand, TO carry
them homo. 1t is expected that after
this week the daily subscriptions to
the Seven. .Thirties will run up into
millions, as they will undoubtedly be
stimulated by the opening of the farm
ers' wool markets East and West. II
is not at all likely that the Govern
ment will ever again offer so desirable
II security as these notes, and about
two hun lrcd millions only remain tC
be taken.
With the close of tho war tho nation
al expenses will bc vastly reduced, and
investors must look for sharp roduc
ton in the ratio of interest as soon a,
the present loans become due, and car
be paid off. There is no reason why
tho United States credit for monel
should ever again fall below its credit
for courage. Tho same spirit that pre-
served the geographical integrity ofthC
country will place it's pecuniary integ
rity on par with that of the most ia
vorcd nations--and that will rcprcsen
n rate of interest under rather thar
over four per cent.

TIE FKANCHISE RILL.

On Friday last the House bill on tho
franchise question was called up for
tho third reading. The conservatives
offered several amendments, which
were successively laid on the table
Mr.. Arnell of Maury, offered substi-
tute for the entire bill. Thfs substi-
tutc introduced new section, eXclud-
ing from franchise for fifteen years all
persons who are excluded from the
benefits of the Presidents last amnes
ty proclamation, except the eighth,
eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and four
tccnth classes mentioned in said pro-
clamation; also, all who have held of
flee in the rebel army, above the rank
of captain. All other persons who en-,
gagged in armed rebellion, are exclud-
cd for five years, except such as were
conscripted, and who can prove they
were loyal at the timo they were fore.
cd into the rcbol army. In all other
respects the bill was substantially the
same as has already passed the Senate.
On motion the substitute was adopted
Mr.. Cooper, leader of the opponents tc
tho bill, seeing, what was obviously
the will of the House, very honorably
refused to fiIlibustcr against it, and the
bill was passed by an unexpectedly
strong vote Of iorty-two to twenty one
The bill was Immediately sent to the
Senate, c,whcre passed through smooth
ly without opposition. So tho fran
