Negro Suffrage.

Negro suffrage is the great question
upon which public sentiment is divi-
ded, and we have not the shadow of a
doubt that the army is largely opposed
to any such principle

and noticed colored subaltern upon

There is one feature Of labor here
which must attract the attention of
all who frequent our levee The Load.
ing and unloading of steamboats,, which
was once done chiefly by white labor
Is now altogether in the hands of ne
grOes. One reason for this has been in
the taking up Of white men, every
where, as soldiers, but the chief reason
IL, that black labor is cheaper than
white. At all events, whether from
mutual repulsion, or from underchane-
ing, or from whatever cause it NAV
arise, there is not a white laborer TO Be
seen along the leFee. Watchmen are
still white, but this probably comes
from the analogy Of the official watch

Wendell Phillips thus defined the
crisis before the great convention re-
Gently held in Massachusetts,
.aNow comes the crisis. What Is the
ne gro? Well, say, in the face of all
prejudice, that amid the gallantry, the
patience, the heroism of this war, the
negro bears the palm" Great ap-
plause.
This is simply an insult to the hun
dreds of thousands of white men who
bore the brunt of the war, and won our
triumph over the rebellion. Give the
negro soldiers all due praise for what
they accomplished, but if none of them
had ever shouldered a musket, the vic
tory would not have been postponed
The white soldiers of the National army
are the men whose gallantry, patience
and heroism bear the palm.

The Queens speech on Canada and

The Queens speech on Canada and
The United states.
The following is the text of that part
Of the Queens speech at the proroga-
ton of Parliament which relates to the
affairs Of Canada and the United
States:
Her Majesty reioices that the civil
war IN North America has ended, and
she trusts that the evils caused BY that
long conflict may be repaired, and that
prosperity may be restored IN the states
which have suffered from the contest
Her Majesty regrets that the con-
ferences and communications between
her Msiesty's North American provinces
on the subject of the union of those
provinces in & confederation have not
yet led to q satisfactory result Such &
union would afford additional strength
to these provinces, and give facilities
for many internal improvements. Her
Majesty has ,receive0e gratifying assuT-
ances Of the devoted lCyalty of her
North American subjects.
Her Majesty rejoices st Ire contin-
ued tranquility and increasing 2rosperi-
ty of her Indian dominions; and she
trusts that the large supply watch those
territorities will afford of the T,Iw mate
rial of manufacturing industry, together
with the termination of the civil war in
the United States Of North America,
will prevent the recurrence of the dis
tress which long prevailed among the
manufacturing population of some Of
the northern counties"

WE notice, by the report of the city clerk,
in Davenport, that, during the past year they
have paid s'for salaries S., O15.26" In Rock
Island, during the same time, we have only
paid for salaries 50, 295.46 In Davenport
they paid ''for printing and advertising ST.
524 80" In Rock Island, during the same
time, our city paid only S433 .OO-and por-
tion of that sum properly belongs to the
previous year. The printing and advertising
bill in Rock Island averages about $500 a
year-between $500, and $780, the
profits of the Office of city printer do not
amount to hundred dollars year. We pub
lish the council proceedings free of charge
The city ought to pay for publishing them.
In Davenport, they pay the rent of an Office
for their police magistrate, and find him coal
and gas. They pay their city marshal 5000,
city clerk 81 000 city attorney $500, mayor
500, aldermen about about 81 200 assessor
and deputy collector $1,000 street
commissioner q big salary and so on through
the list.
Our city affairs have been managed with
great economy, under Mayor Davenport's adj
ministration-in fact the pay for some of the
Offices will hardly command the services of
competent men. Where the salary will not
command the services of suitable men, it ought
to be raised until it will do so-but we do not
think it policy to raise any salary while it
Will command the services of proper men for
the place.
