POSITION OF THE PRESIDENT AND CABI-
META Washington correspondent says;
"As for the President, he isnot against
equal suffrage, for he has committed
himself ON that subject. He told a dele
cation of cOlored men some time ago
that he would like to see them attain
the right of suffrage He has said re-
peatedly that he would not oppose the
extension of the suffrage to the colored
men of the District of Columbia but,
on the contrary, would favor the re-
form. He is misunderstood because he
opposes making negro suffrage a test in
the Southern States. He is opposed to
the test and not to equal suffrage in it
self. We may as well tell the truth.
Lying is poor speculation. Mr.. job n
son takes the ground that Tennessee
shall not be denied representation in
Congress because she refuses to extend
the franchise to her colored people. Yet
at the same time, he admits that Con-
gress has the power to decide the cues.
ton, and he expects it to decide it. I
dare say Mr.. Welles agrees with him in
this. Very likely the story about his
being opposed to colored suffrage grows
out of this fact"
The same correspondent furtherwrites;
"The Cabinet is divided about as fol-
lows on the question of admitting rep
resentatives from the rebel States: For
immediate admission-Mr. Seward. Mr..
Dennison. Against immediate admis-
sion-Mr. Stanton, Mr.. Harlan, Mr..
Speed, Mr.. McCulloch. Non-committal
Mr.. Wells.
There is ne disposition here to make
the question of negro suffrage in the re-
constructed States a party issue. On
the other hand, the determination is to
avoid it, if possible. Mr.. Stewards idea
is that the Republican party must ally
itself with a party at the South-the

A STARTLING PAGE OF POLITICAL HIS
ToRY.-Dr. Sanford B. Hunt late medi-
cal Director Of the cavalry forces of the
military division of the Gulf, contributes
an interesting piece Of political history
to the Buffalo Express. He AYERS that
Col. Cunningham, late chief of staff for
Gen. John Morgan, Of Ohio raid notorie-
ty, was delegate to the Democratic
National Convention held at Chicago
last year, in which body he represented
district Of Southern Illinois, though
himself resident Of Tennessee, and that
he voted for McClellans nomination.
His real errand there, however, was to
release the confederate prisoners at
picked men Of his own command con-
centrated at Chicago. Upon these he
could rely, and he also had the promise
Of three thousand copperheads to assist
him. He said that he found the cop
perheads to be only water snakes, they
took to the tall grass" At any rate, he
got no practical aid from them, as he
said, because they were the d-dest
towards on the foot-stool. Col, Gun
ningham further said that with his re-
liable three hundred men he could, at
some loss, have taken Camp Douglas the
evening before the Convention met; that
he icoud have done so if everybody else
had been as plucky as Alex. Long Of
Ohio; that Long was game" but that
Vallandigham was thorough going
coward and his lack of moral courage
defeated the whole enterprise. DR.. Hunt
also writes as follows:
"Col. Cunningham is now, believe,
at Nashville, Tenn. Should this meet his
eye, he will recognize the author, and
am personally accountable to him for
the above as a correct version Of con-
versation which had several witnesses.
He will not dispute it; and only need
to call attention to the facts it exhi-
bits
LIST. 1t shows that at least one con-
tederate officer of high rank was dele

ton and supporter of Mcclellan.
I'd. That the author Of the Chicago
platform of 1864 and some Of the leaders
Of that Convention were cognizant OF

lease some ten thousand rebel prisoners
and turn them loose in the streets Of
Chicago to commence the work Of rapine
and bloodshed."

The International Bridge.

One of the most Important objects OF
the visit OF the European capitalists was
to inspect the site of the proposed Inter
national Bridge over the Niagara river,
below the city Of Buffalo.
The plan of such a structure entered
into the grand intentions of the COM
pany almost with the conception Of the
road. But it remained to Mr. Kennard,
the great architect and engineer Of the
whole enterprise, to COnsummate that
idea by purchasing, with keen eye to
its availability for the purpose intended,
an island in the Niagara river-three
miles below the city-which bears the
unromantic name Of Squaw Island.
Believing that the Suspension Bridge,
not only from it's location but from the
character of its construction, was not
capable of affording the requisite rail
way facilities for thoroughly intimate
connection of the systems of the United
Statoo and Canada, he conceived the
present project, ana upon its adoption
by the capitalists who now come to
visit its site, obtained the necessary
charter from the governments of Canada
and New York. The bridge will cross
the river at the island, with centre or
resting point upon it. 1t will consist of
seven spans Of two hundred and fifty
feet eaCh-the piers to be Of stone and
the superstruCture. Over the channel
of the river will be "a swing bridge, with
two lateral openings, each a hundred
feet in width.
The completion of this work will
make Buffalo the terminus of the Grand
Trunk, the Great Western, and all the
important lines of railway in Canada
The island will serve as depot for the
reception and discharge of produce, and
of the coal which is to be brought by
the extension of the Atlantic and Great
Western track into the coal regions OF
Pennsylvania.
The contemplated extension Of that
road to Buffalo, in connection with the
bridge will give an additional line OF
transit between the West, Canada and
New York and to further aid the tray
eler, whatever route he may choose, q
union depot is intended, whence will
diverge the tracks of the Atlantic and
Great Western, the New York and Erie,
the New York Central and the Lake
Shore roads.
The island is one hundred and forty
acres in extent, and, besides its capaci-
ties for the objects for the bridge and
depot, is eligibly situated for the con,
venience of the traffic of Buffalo and the
cities OF the Lakes and the St, Lawrence.
It's purchase by the English capitalists
is an indication of the interest taken in
American railway investments, and the
choice of the spot exhibits the wisdom
and deiberation with which they have
matured their speculations.
Under the terms Of the charter, the
bridge is not required to be finished be-
fore May. 1867.
