here is different from what 1t would be
if / was in Tennessee. There should
try to introduce negro suffrage grad
ually first those who had served i'll the
army those who could read and write,
and perhaps property qualification for
the others, say $500 or $3.50. 1t Will not
do to let negroes have universal sut-
frage now; it would breed war OF races.
There was a time in the Southern States
when the slaves of large owners looked
down upon non-slaveowners because
they did not own slaves; the larger the
number of slaves their masters owned,
the prouder they We're, and this has pro-
duced hostility between the mass of the
whites and the negroes. The outrages
are mostly from non-slavehOlding whites
against the negro, and from the negro
upon the non-sIaveholding whites. The
negro will vote with the late master
whom he does not hate, rather than
with the non-slaveholding white, whom
he does hate. Universal suffrage would
create another war, not against us, but
a war of races. Another thing. This
government is the freest and best on the
earth, and | feel sure is destined to last
but to secure this, we must elevate and
purify the ballot. l for many years CON
tended at the South that slavery was a
political weakness, but others said il
was political strength they thought
we gained three-tifths representation by
it; l contended that we lost two-fifths.
If we had no slaves, we should have
had twelve representative more, accord.

A TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT.

Mr.. George l.. Stearns, of NIassachu-
sets, visited President johnson recently,
and had talk with him on Negro-Suf-
frage, the Democratic party, and minor
matters. Mr.. Johnson, in reply to the
remark that the Democrats claimed that
he had gone over to them, intimated
that the Democratic party had discov-
cred that he was in advance of it, and
that it was now trying to come up to
his standard, and he hoped it would
succeed i'm doing so. He enunciated his
doctrine that, notwithstanding the So
called secession of certain States, they
by their rebellious course, they had for
feited their civil government, to recon-
struct the machinery of which as soon
as practicable, he considers the chief
duty of the time. This, lie says, cannot
be doue in moment; but such great
and happy progress is being made in it
that the results sometimes appear to him
like dream. He did not expect to for
ever deprive of their former civil rights
even majority of those who were eX-
cluded in the amnesty proclamation I;
but he intended that they should sue for
pardon, and thus realize the enormity
of their crime. Coming to the question
of questions, Mr.. Johnson said truly ::
You could not have preached the sub
ject of equal suffrage at the North seven
years ago, and we must remember that
the changes at the South have been
more rapid, and they have been obliged
to accept more unpalatable truth than
the North has; we must give them time
to digestapart, forwe cannot expect such
large affairs will be comprehended and
digested at once. We must give them
time to understand their new position
This is candid and sensible; and so is
his observation: IF I interlered with
the vote in the rebel States, to dictate
that the negro shall vote, / might do the
same thing for my own purposes in
Pennsylvania. Our only safety lies in
allowing each State to control the right
or voting by its own laws, and we have
the power to control the rebel States if
they 60 wrong. If they rebel, we have
the army, and can control them by it,
and, if necessary, by legislation also.
If the general Government controls the
right to vote in the States, it may estab-
lish such rules as will restrict the vote
to a small number of persons, and thus

A CARD FROM GOV. pErRporNr.

"DIsLoYAL SENTIMENT PROMPTLY
REBUKED.-The Hon. Freeman Clark
peremptorily ordered Gov. Perpoint, of
Virginia, toileave his office at the Treas
ury on account of uttering disoyal SEN
timents. The language used in part
was: we people of the South never
will submit to being taxed 10 pay the
Union War debt. We never will stand
it, SIR &c.p ~.
The above appeared in the New York
T'i5une's special Washington dispatch
of the 18th inst Freeman Clark, by Il
subordinate in his office, procured The
above statement to be made. 1t CON
tains two gross falsehoods. 1st. Free
man Clark did not order Gov. Peirpoint,
of Virginia, to leave his office. I'd. Gov.
Peirpoint did not say, 1--WE people of the
South never will submit to being taxed
to pay the Union War debt. We never
will stand it, sir.p ..g
Both statements are grossly false, and
Freeman Clark knew them to be false,
when he procured them to be published.

financial operation will doubtless take
most of our readers by surprise. From
its inception to presenttime, the plan
has been kept a secret, and has been per-

sum has been pledged. we are told; and
every thing looks well. The Fenians

THE CALIFORNIA STEAMER IN PORT.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Compa-
ny's steamer New York" from AS
pinwall, October II, with five hundred
and eight passengers, and Sl,112,312.6S,
put in here yesterday morning, short of
fuel. Her advices from California have
been anticipated by telegraph. The New
York anchored off Town Point. The
ship encountered severe head winds and
heavy weather, and many of the pas
sengers were sufferers from the effects
of sea sickness. Some of them came
ashore to shake Off their sea-legs. Many
of them wanted to land their baggage
and so to New York through the bay
and by rail; but this could not be per
mitted unless the ship made regular
entrance and clearance at the custom
house. 1t seems tous that no such rule
as this should stand in the way of a ves-
sci in the coastwise trade. But it is too
grave matter to he discussed here. The

gers of the New York" -

The wits of New York contemplate
another funny paper. The money so
far invested in this sort of venture in
the commercial metropolis, has gone TO
the tomb of the capulcts, along with the
ridiculous journals, and this will con-
tinue to be so as long as the Richmond
Times survives. That paper absorbs all
the funny readers in this country just as
truly as New York city absorbs the COM
merce of Norfolk. The earliest and
latest joke of the Richmond Punch is.
thatit contained the first Union article
printed in the South after the surrender
Of Lee. We have no doubt the joker of
jokes was in hurry to hurrah for
Grant or any other man who was will

meal; but he is mistaken in what he

to "hurrah for Johnson" He was as far

rear, when Uncle Robert wanted men to
go to the front. Will the Richmond
Punch please to correct its record.

WHAT ARE OUR RESOURCES 2

There is no good reason why Norfolk
should not become one of the first COM
mercial cities on the Atlantic, if our
property holders will only encourage the
settlement AN Industrious class Ofpeo-
pie among us. If a man goes out West
to settle, the old residents at once crowd
around him, and ask: "Well, what do
you expect to do?o He tells them of
his means and his abilities, and informs
them that lie wishes TO start in some
useful business. They take him by the
hand, bid him welcome, say "You are
the very man we want, and if you will
go to work, we will help you to the OK
tent Of our means, give you credit, lend
you capital, or sell you land on reasona-
BILE terms, or rent you a house." And
thus the far West thrives, grows great,
and increases in population, power and
wealth. We can do the same thing if
we choose in Virginia; but there seems
to be disposition to repel or drive off
mechanics, laborers, business men, and
farmers of small means, OH the part of
our property holders and already we
perceive the ruinous consequences of
this policy excmplified in our city's lack
of hustle and business stir, and the di-
unfinished number of people on our
streets; and few years hence, if this
course be persisted in, the silence of our
town will seldom be disturbed by the
sound of a dray or cart, and II few hand
barrows will he sufficient for all the pur-
poses of our commerce. The music of
the hammer and the trowel will be for
gotten sounds, and awake no more the
joyous echoes oflaborand improvements;
and the cattle will Craze along the silent
banks Of the classic Elizabeth. VIII our
people continue to ruin their future pros
poets for the sake of present gain, or
merely to satisfy foolish and unmanly
prejudice against new corners?

WAT U DOM TO DAT TREE 2"

In the backwoods the cutting down
of trees and building of houses indicates
that q settlement is commenced and
there will be ian improvement" We
have recently been visited by such en-
couraging signs of progress as these in
Roanoke Square. Some enterprising
gentleman has built a house, and our
Deighbor to the left has cut down a
beautiful tree, which shaded the win
dows of our sanctum. We know not
why he committed the vandalic act
the vegetable murder-but no doubt he
had good reasons for it, and if he only
builds a substantial house in place of
the forest denizen, we shall not grieve
over-much at its untimely fate. We
never like to see tree cut down in q
city, even though the reasons for its
taking off be the best. Trees are the
growth of ages and arrive at maturity
through many trials---are both useful
and ornamental-and should be preserv-
ed as long as possible to lend lis their
shadowing charms, and render city life
still more tolerable. We miss this fall
len tree, and as we beheld the sable ak
man lay his keen Ratchet to its roots,
we cried in anguish: s...
"Woodnian spare that tree, touch not a single bow
Ii oft hath sheltered lpe and wen protect it now.
But there was neither pity nor poetry
in that smoke-cascd soul, and the tree
fell beneath his oft-repeated blows; and
now he is engaged in digging up the
stump. 1t will be destroyed root and
branch, and we shall know it no more
forever! r..,.,,... -

RELEASE OF JOHN mitchell.

1t seems to be placed beyond dispute
that John Mitchell has been released,
and that, too, without having asked the
" Presidents pardon" Well, that's all
right, in free country, and we have no
objection. The Fenians are all power.
ful, and it was through their interposi-
ton that John again walks the earth.
The following report of the proceedings
in the Fenian Congress on the 29d will
be read with some interest by the friends
of Mitchell: aus
AT the session of the Fenian Congress
yesterday, Colonel John O'Mahoney jim
the chair, the Committee on Govern
ment, Constitution, Military Affairs and
Finance, made report, which was ac-
cepted, and on motion it was taken up
section by section for adoption. i.
During the afternoon the President
announced that B. Koran Killian, Esq,
delegate from Missouri, who procured
the unconditional release of John Mitch
ell, was present. Three cheers were
given for the President of the United
States, for Mr.. Killian and John Mitch
ell. For some time every member Of the
Congress joined in the most enthusiastic
manner in the applause. On motion,
the secretaries Were ordered to prepare a
resolution conveying the grateful ac-
acknowledgements Of this Congress to MI.
I<illian for his efforts in bringing about
the release of Mr.. Mitchell. e.
After some discussion, the reports,
with amendments, were adopted. An
Irish banner was presented to the chair

will continue i'll session until Wednes-
day. ..g .'...l,. .,., .'-l,,n
