The behavior Of the people Of the defeated

DISCREDITABLE pEoCEEDISGS

We learn that petite to Congress was
in circulation to-day for signatures in one of
the Departments (and we doubt not in all of
them.) in favor of negro suff rage. The petition
purports 10 be by scitzens of Washington
and yet was being signed by Department
clerks, who claim residence in their respec.
tive States, and who 60 home TO vote at State
elections. Every clerk of this class therefore
who signs this petition as a citizen Of Wash
ingfon, sings 10 a ialsehood.
The fact that the individual circulating this
untruthiul petition is n bitter enemy OF the
President serves TO show the animus of the
parties concerned in this discreditable proceed
ing.
This petition, thus signed by non resident
clerks, Is to go In to Congress, to be presented
as representing the sentiments OF the bona fde
citizens of Washington. And this is but one of
the modes by which il Is attempted Just now TO
misrepresent and villfy the people of Wash
iBgton. Notwithstanding that the vote on
Thursday, and which was polled almost unan-
imously against negro suffrage, was the heayi-
est polled here for many years. (more than ut
the time of our largest population during the
war; the Philadelphia Inquirer coolly says
that 'hod fuH Uote been token, it is doubtful
il there would have been any majority against
negro suffrager' And the Washington CORES
poadent Of the Cincinnati Gazette, with the
same regard to truthfulness, says that the
:. iahering population of the city mostly
1rish'-were paid SIS a head to go to the polls
A greater falsehood was never peuned, as
every one here knows, and quite on par with
another statement from the same source, that
from ten to thirteen thousand negroes eligible
for voters in this city. can read and Write II

voters of Washington, who dared to express
their sentiments on Thursday agans 81 negro suf
traee. These gentlemen who have heretofore
hawled so loudly for free outrage flor blacks,

They propose 10 contest the election to deny
the right of the people to vote. and to enion

ton expenses. Noble Ciephane. noble Rob.
