BLANCHE EFT NOIR-THE COLOR
OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA

During the debate in the South Carolina
Convention, there was considerable discus
sion upon an amendment to strike out the
word white" from the section relating to
the basis Of representation in the State lie.
gislature In the course of this debate Mr..
J. G. THOMPSON, of st. Helena, asked this
pertinent question: with what kind of con-
sistency can you approach Congress with
four Representatives allowed you because Of
the negro population, and at the same time
retHss to 0llotc tie gerry persons pho give you
those additional members to be represented in
the assembly Of your State"
He also appealed against the prejudice
made in the cry, "This is the white man 5
Government, and reminded them that the
black man is to be governed; that he hhs
rights to be protected that he was subject
to taxation, and the section destined to be-
come his home ought to be guaranteed suf,
fcient political power to see that he is gov,
erned and protected properly" The Con,
yention decided, however, that what is sauce
for the goose in Washington is not sauce for
the gander in South Carolina.

The colored people of Louisiana are taking
an orderly and practical method of testing
their claims to citizenship. During the past
month register of all qualified voters has
been made, an election has been held for
delegates to State Convention, and that
Convention is to select candidates for Con-
gress. This action is based on the claim that
the colOred citizens are the only loyal major
ity of the State, and that If Louisiana is to
be recognized, the loyal citizenS, constitute
the State, and are entitled to recognition
Suffrage is denied them by the State author
ities-if anybody knows wac the authori-
ties are, Hence they propose to ask Con-
gross whether it prefers that loyal blacks or
disloyal whites should control Louisiana.-N

playing the role of supporting President

About SIR John Franklin.

NEW YoRk, Sept. 29.-The newspapers Of
this city have letter from Captain Hall, Of
tho exploring expedition, dated West End
Rowes, Welcome, December 10, 1854, giving
details and information in relation to Sir
John Franklin. 1t is thought probable that
there arc yet survivors Of the expedition,
one being Captain Crozier, who succeeded in
command after the death Of Franklin. Gro
zier was almost starved, but the other men
were fat and strong.
They have eaten human aosh, which Gro
1ior would not do. 1t would seem that these
men lived for long time with the natives on
Buothia Felix Peninsula, but finally went
away to the South in boat, and that is all
that the Juniuts appear to know Of them.
Sir John Franklin's ships were last seen on
the 9th of July, l845, in the ice near the
middle Of Bafin's Bay.

This 10 exactly the doctrine asserted by the

commended to the Southern States for their
adoption. In Massachusetts, no man can
vote who cannot read and write, and upon
that basis the oolored men hold the balance
Of power in Mr.. HoorsR's district, and he
owes his election 10 Congress TO the colored
voters, as did his predecessor, Mr.. BuRLIS-
eAxn. Every State In New England extends
the right Of suffrage to oil loyal mon, regard
less Of color. All the Northern States will
probably do the same thing as soon as they
can, constitutionally.
The Southern States ought to accept the
situation in good fsith,n and give the right
Of suffrage to all intelligent loyal men, and
not embarrass PRssIDHsr JOHNSON by any
hositatipg policy or unmanly course, which,
upon grounds Of imperative military neces'
sity, he will feel compelled to ignore. BY

Tho Race Between the Algonquin and

The following is an official report made to
the Secretary of the Navy upon the result Of
the trial for ffty-ono hours at the dock, be-
tween the Algonquin and Winooski:
NEW YoRK, Sept. 26, 1855.
SIR: In obedience to your orders Of the
26th July, for the competitive trials Of the
machinery Of tho steamers Winooski and Al
gonquin, to test the relative economy Of fuel
and power, we would state that the trial
commenced on Friday, the 22d inst, and We
respectfully make the following report:
Though not required by your letter of in
structions to report upon the trials until the
completion OF the same, we believe 1t will be
Of interest to the Department to know at
this time the result of the first trial, which
commenced for the purpose Of ascertaining
the relative economy Of fuel.
The trial was commenced according to the
programme of the Bbard Of Civilian Experts.
The fires were started at 10.l5 a. m, of the
22d instant, were hauled at 4 p. m., and
again started for the regular trial Of ninety
six hours, and continued until brought to an
abrupt termination by the bursting Of the
Algonquin's pipe, which necessitated the
drawing of the fires from the boilers. When
the accident occurred, the experiment had
The whole duration was to have been ninety
six hours. Owing to this accident we cannot
give the results as ascertained exactly In the
manner recommended by the Board Of Ex-
perts, but we can give the results as ascer-
tanned in the manner directed by your orr
ginal order, and which we believe to be
accurate. In that order We were directed to
run the engines several hours, to bring the
fires into steady action, and the machinery
into proper working condition. We were
then to commence the trial, noting the state
of the fires. At the end Of the trial we were
to leave the fires, steam pressure, water level,
&C., the same as at the commencement.
At the time Of the bursting Of the Algon.
quin's pipo the fires under the boilers oi
both vessels were in good condition, and
the steam pressure and water level about the
same as at the commencement. We consider
that at 8 o'clock, p. m, Of the 22d instant

TIE Round Table tells an odd story Of
Bossissio, MaretZeks new prima donna, who
arrived in Boston by the Cunard steamer last
week When the steamer was coming up
the harbor the usual salute was fred and
poor Bossissio, frightened nearly to death,
fell down upon the deck in terror. She had
the impression that a naval engagement was
about to commence, her rather vague ideas
of our civil war leading her to suppose that
the confederates were on the point of at
tacking Boston. 1t is hoped that the young
lady understands more about singing than
she does about politics
