THE SUFFRAGE QUEsTIoN.-The Chicago Tri-
bune exposes the falIacy of Directing to free
negro suffrage In the South on the ground that
the masters would control the colored vote and
thus secure the asccndency of the secession
party in all those States. Its general propro-
sisons are: l. Tho negroes being citizens, not
slaves will be enumerated as free men in the
census .. Members of Congress are apportion-
oil upon the free population; therefore, 3. The
vote to which each negro is entitled, counts in
the general result, whether he actually casts a
ballot or not. The Tribune's reasoning, which
is very cogent and comprehensive, is as fol-
lows:
"Ths South viii gain by the emancipation of
slaves, who will hereafter count in the census
List and in the appportionment laws whether
they vote or not, sixteen members of Congress.
Hence, In every Southern district where half
the population is eolored. to elect a member of
Congress, just half the number of white men
would vote as would be required to cast their
ballots in a Northern district of equal size, hav-
ing no negroes in its population. If the negroes
are not allowed to vote, the white men in the
South will vote for them; the whites are almost
all seeessionists, b c n C c, though the negroes
might be jealous of their freedom and DESTROYS
of aiding the party that has secured it, they
would be wholly represented by men of hostile
sentiments and ideas. They would be power
less and entirely at the mercy of their old op-
pressors. Ifallowed to vote, and if they should,
50 the last man, be subject to the control of
their Late owners. the case for the North would
he far more favorable than Il will be as the
'demi-secesl' propose to adjust it; because then
we could hope that they would see at some time
the way Of honor and safety. and emancipate
themselves from rebel control. As non-yoters,
or rather rs voters barred Of their right--voters
whose ballots are cast for them in all matters
relating to national affhirs-they could neither
help themselves nor aid the loyal cause"
Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1865-07-28

SOUND TALK TO SoLDIERs-Hon. John Went
worth, of Chicago, lately addressed the 800
Illinois, a returning regiment, as follows -
"And now, gentlemen, having proved that the
foreign born citizen can be true to his country
you have got another duty to perform. You
will have to maintain your right at the ballot
box. Those men who tried to burn Chicago
those men who got up the mob in New York
those men who fired upon our troops when they
went through Baltimore, those men who first
fired upon our flag at Fort Sumter, want to be
our equals. They want to come down to the
polls and vote us down. They want 10 do at
the ballot-box, what they have failed to do
through their Booths, and their traitors, and
their assassins. Now they are as loyal as any
body Their loyalty commenced with t h e
campaign in which Lee surrendered. Why,
here in Chicago, they all thought they were
embraced in Lees surrender, daughter and
came out here and addressed them and told them
that Lees surrender did take them, too. will
tell You what they are. They may as well be
exposed now as any other time. They want
some military man that will lead them, and put
them in power again in this country. These as
sassins want to have the name in order that they
may get at the head of this UNION. I have
taken the ground upon my own responsibility
that the loyal negro is infinitely better than the
white traitor, (great cheering) and when I see
men standing in the streets of Chicago and
hear them d-n the negro, say d-n all such
men as they are, that want to destroy the best
government in the world. Tremendous APP
plause) The responsibility for all the calami-
ties of this war rests upon the shoulders of the
northern eo-operators ofsouthern traitors The
war would never have broken out if the south
erners had not believed that they would have
had cooperation from the north. But they
miscalculated, for the war is over and the coun-
try is safe. Ny good fellow citizens and sold
iers, you must take care at the polls that no more
traitors get where they can steal, plumber and
betray our government"

THE WHALES AND ALLIGAToRs IN TOR
MENr,

mENIs
AT this moment the flames rolled again
into the room, and then again retired.--
The whale and alligators were by this
time suffering dreadful torments. The
water in which they swan was literally
boiling. The alligators dashed fiercely
about endeavoring to escape, and opening
and shutting their great jaws in ferocious
torture; but the poor whale, almost boil.
ed, with great ulcers bursting from bis
blubbery sides, could only feebly swim
about, though blowing excessively, and
every now and then sending up great
fountains Of spray.
AT length crack went the glass sides OF
the great cases, and whale and alligators
rolled out on the floor, with the rushing
and streaming water. The whale died
pretty easily, having been pretty well
used up before. A few great gasps and a
convulsive flap or two of bis mighty
dukes were his expiring spasms.
One of the alligators was killed al.
most Immediately by falling across a
great fragment of shattered glass, which
cut open his stomach and let out the
greater part of his entrails to the light of
day. The remaining alligator became
involved in controversy with an ans
aconda and joined the melee in the
centre of the blazing apartment.
CLOSE OF THE THRILLING SCENE.
AT this moment the floor, undermined
by flame, gave way with an awful crash
and the living, struggling, bowling, with
ing mass was launched into a gulf of red
and yellow fire, sending up a whirlwind
of smoke, sparks and cinders TO the very
heavens.
The last object saw was the polar
bear, upon white-hot square of sheet
iron, with all the hair burned from his
hide, and standing stark and stiff, and rap
idly baking brown.
Before the whale went down with
the rest, stream Of spermaceti ran from
his csrcase down the sides Of the build
ing, taxing fire and making impromptu
candles on a colossal scale.
