We have read with care the dispositions OF
the Chicago Tribune, Illinois Journal, and
other leading radical papers in The state in
favor of granting sufffaga>to the negroes in
the southern states, and we have read the
grand pronunciamento of Gov Yates, at
Elgln, on the sama subject. There is, from
all these, noroom to doubt but that wo-thi, DIS,
at least, of the republican party Of this state
stand in open, grim, defiant opposition to
President johnson ON this subject. But
there is one important question connected
with Ihis business to which we have looked
in vain in all these editorials, speeches, &cs
for an answer. Are they in favor of negro
suffrage in Illinois? The question has been
directly and pcintedly asked the whole OF
them on varIons occasions, but they have
uniformly lodged it.
TIE truth of the matter simply is, that they
are opposed to negro suffrage at home, but
wish TO impose it on the people Of the south,
aud this involves such meanness that they
are ashamed TO confess it. Now We hold
that the physician, before he insists on others
taking his medicine, is in honor bound to heal
himself.

two girls, one Is and the other l8 years old,
named Ann and Bridget Burns, went to the
woods near East Albany, N. Y, to pick
berries, and while thus engaged were seized
by four men, and repeatedly violated. Mkt
day, a man named Lewis Major and his son
were sted and identified by the girls as
two of their assailan,s. They were taken
before the Police Magistrate for preliminary
examination, but the proceedings had scarce
ly begun when brother of the girls shot the
eldest of the Majors twice in tn. m.and the
leg, and he was followed By his mother who

The cholera is on its tr4vels-that fierce
and pitiless plague. has its residence in-the
east, but sallies forth at periodical intervals
to decimate west north ahd south. From
time to time we hear of the visitation in dis.
tant places deaths by who |esale in Central
Asia, deaths in Sou bern Russia, reg ments
disbanded by death on ind IAN marches, and
rivers cnoked with corpses in the Eastern
Ocean. The last Red Sea news brought

they had shut themselves up. Already
Egypt has been reached. and the ie.lahs
there are perishing by thousands so

! CROPS IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS The whea.
crop in Southern Illinois is nearly failure
Letters in the St. Louis r publican report as
follows:
From Monroe county-'Wheat is badly

Montgomery couuty-"Wheat is very shSr,
and of poor quality" From Madison coun.
ty-"The wheat crop has not been so lad
for fifteen years" From Rchland county
"Wheat is a failure in this county, From
Jersey courty-"With cheat and rust, the
wheat crop is much below an average here
The REPUBLICAN, after publishing number
of letters as above, adds:
A gentleman just returned from Calhoun
county, ILL.,, informs Us that the whea. will be
an average crop in that county; in Pike
county, on the west side between the bluff
and the river, prospects were good, and from
thence to Quincy the indications were f,tter-

crop will be almost an entire failure. In
Calhoun and Pike counties, our Informant
states that at least one third OF the old crop
Is still IN the hands of the farmers.
