The President on Negro Suffrage.

The New York Times of May Goth, has
the following:
The President is reported to have yester-
day given an opinion, to deputation, on the
question of negro suffrage, to the effect that
1t is matter that may be safely left in the
hands of the loyal white white residents Of
the South. 1t is certainly question which
in It's primary bearings, chiefly affects the
loyal citizens who will be brought into most
direct contact with the negro population
who will in measure be responsible for Civ
ing profitable direction to negro labor, and
who, above all, will be charged with the re-
sponsibty OF placing the means Of educa
ton within the reach Of the vast neglected
community set free w the war.
The President, of course, does not mean to
indicate that the question Of negro enIrsn-
chlsement is not one Of grave national inter-
est, aside from its bearings on The industrial
and social economy Of particular sectlons.-
But, as we understand it, he takes the com.
mon sense ground that loyal residents Of the
South, who have to live with the negro in
his freed condition, may be better allow ed to
initiate measures for the farther removal Of
negro disabilities than speculative politicians
living at a distance, and less familiar with the
habits aud wants and aspirations Of the black
people.
The matter is certainly not one to be dis
posed of by sweeping decree. Illuminated
from the Executive Chamber without any re-
gard to the peculiar interests of The sections
most concerned and irrespective of the or
ganlzatlon Of individual State authority now
in progress. What The President doubtless
aims at, is TO see the people of the South, as
distinct from the disIoyaI political managers,
set to work, under The protection of the ua>
tlona authority, and recognize the new re-
Iatlon IN which they stand to the negro pop.
ulaton; and to do this as the first sep to-
ward re-estabshing proper relation be
tween their seperate State Governments and
The supreme authority of the National Gov.
ernmsnt. When the work is once set about
AS it appears to be in Arkansas and North
Carolina-in loyal spirit, the question of
negro suffrage will find natural solution 10
course of time without any arbitrary rule ap.
piled from without.
A far more pressing mater for the class
concerned is that of well directed and le-
muneralive labor. This the negro is most
likely to secure, not by creating antagonistic
relations between him and the loyal citizens
of another race, but by leaving to the nau-
raj agency Of mutual self interest to deter
mine their relative status politically hereaf.
ter. This, we take it, is the theory which
the Presidents long and varied experience
as Southern citizen enables him to recon-
mend.

From THE CoLoRADo.-We have received
call during the past week from Mr. George
+. Wllle,te, superintendent of the Colorado
Quartz Mill, IN Ell Dorado Canon, who visits
tins city for The purpose Of procuring supplies
for The mill, etc. Mr. w. brings favorable
reports from that region He also brings us
samples Of rock salt from the salt mountains
located some sixty miles above E Dorado
Canon, up the CoIora 10. The salt is in
large beautifully transparent crystals, and is
probably of the finest quality attainable on
this coast. Just previous to the time at
which Mr.. Willette left the Canon, pack
train arrived from the salt mountains with a
load of salt for the mill. These mountains
are said to be perfect mass of beautifully
cryslallzed salt, and are a great curiosity
and wonder to all travellers who have visited
them. One Of them is within six miles of
the river, aud the other is about twenty
miles distant. The packers chop it out of
the mass with axes. Scientific Press.

BooTH VS.. JonN BRowN. There is quite
a coincidence between these two notorious
murderers, relative to their capture. Both
were driven to the wall by their pnrsuers,
and both were shot while defending them
selves Booths wound being mortal, and
that of John Browns being very painful
though not mortal, and he was compelled to
limp to the gaows with an unheaIed wound,
he not being so lucky as Booth. Both were
brave, bold and bad men, who conspired
against the laws of their country.

DIssArIsFlED.-1be appointment of Maj
General Ilaleck to the command Of the Pa
cifc Military Department is received by
quite humber of the Abolition press of this
State with expressions of decided disgust and
indignation. Why, we cannot understand;
bu, they pitch into "Od Brains" without
slint-depreciate his military ability; call
him land grabber; and wish he had been
sent to Siber ia or some place colder or hot
ter rather than to California.
These papers should be careful or they
will soon ind themselves in no better odol
than rebels ia arms. The appointment o
Ilalleck is a mark of confidence of the Pres
Ident in his ability and worth; and to de-
nounce the appointment (according to Abo
tion lrgc) is TO denounce the President, his
Cabinet, and the Union cause, and shows
the querelouS newsmen to be traitors in dis
guse.
For our part, we like the appointment, as
II is scarcely within the possibilities for Gen
lialeck TO act the part OF a Mcdowell.
The appointment Of Maj General Ord for
Oregon has also been announced. This
should also be dlstasleiul to the satanic press,
AS Ord, as recent commander of Richmond
was actually magnanimous toward the ciu

No MoRE MILITARY ARRESTS Upon in,

DowelI has ordered that hereafter no one not

firmatory of our belief that the Administra'

sire to restore as far as possible the good
and bright signs Of peace and civil authority.
We hope that the presses and other leaders
who are yet clamoring for disturbance, will
accept the example of the Government, and
rise with the spirit Of the hour, to a more
manly and tranquilizng range OF sentiment.

Now and Then.

Time works wondrous changes in the opin.
ions Of men and newspapers, and with none
more so it seems, than the Stars and Stripes,
the organ of the Abolition party Of this
county. In its issue Of the 2lst inst, in
speaking of the Senatorial candidates Of its
party, in which it names Sargent, Low, Shat,
ter, Phelps and Pixley as prominent, it says,
"ln our county, unless we are greatly
mistaken in the public sentiment, not one in
ten Of the thinking men Of our party is clear
ly convinced that any one Of those prom'
neu,y before the people is eminently and
peculiarly fitted for the position"
The Stars and Stripes and the thinking
men" Of its party in this county have GER
tainly had new revelation since January,
l764, in reference to Sargent, as at that time
the organ hoisted his name for the Vice
Presidency Of the United States, and with
fusome haltery declared him liable, practi-
cal, sbrewd, untring, impeccable," and
tNos NV ids q ptlNSl IcCOlA, -
And further that he WAS "a statesman" and
whatever be hal attempted be bad done,
and done ncby."
II the possession Of the above qualidca-
tons entitled Mr.. Sargent to the second of,

prominent and very able candidate for the

to witness the honesty and recttude Of its

lief that the trade was consummated, ticket
agreed upon, and that united effort will be
made 10 carry the Convention next Tuesday
upon the line of the programme. The can.
dldates for and against the combination are
working from that standpoint, and using
every eSertion TO influence the primaries and
secure delegates. The numerous candidates
who consider themselves sacrificed by the
new arrangement declare their intention to
break the slate in twain. or raise a row, and
the Convention will undoubtedly furnish an
unusual amount of excitement and fun for
those who NAV attend the show
