Negro voting in washington.

On Thursday last, the citizens of Wash
ington held an election TO determine the
question whether negroes should have the
right TO vote in the National Metropolis.
The election was held under q special ordi-
nance of the City Councils, approved by the
Mayor, and resulted in seven thousand
votes being cast against the proposition and
about seventy in its favor. 1t appears that
the open advocates of negro suffrage saw
that they were greatly in the minority, and
resolved to stay away from the polls; and
they afterward denounced the election as
farce" declaring their intention to treat
It as If it had never been held. This is GER
tainly very convenient for the mino rity.
According to this theory, any candidate for
office who finds that the voice of the people
is against him, need only persuade his
friends to remain away from the polls to
make the election "farce," and prevent
its being accepted as a true expression of
the popular will

A Rmpture In Prospect.

SUMNER, Of Massachusetts, the leader of
the intense radicals in the Senate, has
thrown down the gauntlet and proclaimed
war upon the President and his policy of
restoration. Ills late speech in the Senate,
denouncing the Presidents special message
concerning the condition of the Southern
States as document "paralleled only by
PIERCE's white-washing message on Kan
sas affairs" has caused deep sensation, not
only in Congress, but In political circles
every where. Senators Dixon of Cohncc-
ticut and DooIIrrLE of Wisconsin. both
prominent politicians of the Republican
party, felt themselves called upon Adefend
the President from these assaultA and vim
dicated his course as a statesman and pa
triot. '.
From present indications, a ruptuse Is
imminent in the Republican ranks. This
rupture will widen and deepen, or the radi-
Gals must surrender. They have shown
themselves to be dsunionists at heart,
actuated chiefly by motives of hatred and
revenge and advocating policy which, If
carried ont. would reduce the Southern peo
pie from the condition of sovereign States
to that of q single conquered and subjuga-
ted territory-humiliate and degrade them
in the eyes of all nations, and forever pre-
vent real and permanent restoration of the
Union.
The policy of the President and the con
scrvative men who sustain him is directly
the opposite of all this, and he is evidently
-, l.
aud fight for the policy he has cnunciated
to the bitter end. In his message, the Pres
ident openly declares his conviction of the
good faith and patriotism of the Southern
people in seeking n restoration of the
Union; and his emphatic endorsement of
the report of General GRANT, taken in con-
ncction with the significant declaration of
Secretary SEWARD, in his proclamation, that
the Southern States are estates in the
Union clearly Indicates deliberate pur-
pose on the part of the President to MAIN
tain his position against the assaults of the
radicals in and out of Congress at any and
every hazard.
This is n hopeful sign. 1t will give
strength aud courage to all those who sin
cerely desire permanent reconstruction
of our political fabric on the firm basis of
constitutional right, to be followed by all
the social and political blessings that will
assuredly flow from the restoration of Peace
and Union throughout our borders. On
the reassembling of Congress, we believe
there is good ground to hope that new
and more cheerful aspect of things will be
presented resulting in the overthrow of
the radical and fanatical elements, which
alone have thus far prevented what every
good citizen and true patriot desires-the
re-establishment of the Government on its
old and time-honored foundations.

In curious old document, now nearly

Each State shall have at least one Rep

How brayely the progressive" party
have got over all thisl They admit the
right aud power Of the Southern States to

while they deny their right to representa-

The ConstitutionaI Amendment.


The Secretary of State has officially an
nouneed the constitutional amendment
abolishing slavery in the United States, de
clarlng it TO have been ratified by sulii-
cient number of States. Commenting upon
this announcement of Secretary SEWARD,
the Chicago Times truthfully remarks "As
ardently as the radicals wish the adoption
of the amendment, they win not concede
the validity of ratfcations in the States
lately in rebellion. If those States had no
authority to ratify the amendments they
had none TO abolish slavery, and, conse-
quently, the institution has to-day a legal
existence in them. The proclamation of
emancipation did not abolish IT, or else the
amendment Is superfluous and nonsensical.
Thus we see that the Abolitionists, in their
anxiety TO defeat the President, virtually
assert that the negroes in the South are yet
slaves, and can not be released until the
amendment shall be ratified by a sufficient
number of States not engaged in the re-
bellion 10 make three-fourths Of all the
States"
