A Blind Woman Restored.

stone blind of congenial cataract, began to

hear for the first time. The effect in the
young woman was most curious, and some

there was NO idea whatever of perspective

From the Chicago Journal Goth inst.
Negro Suffrage.

There ia a pretty general expression for
against universal negro suffrage. without due
consideration, as think, of the points involved
in the case. In the first place. the qualification
of voters rests by the constitution of the United
States, with the states exclusively and with
whom the people at large have not and cannot
have anything to do. The requisites to be eligib-
lie to the elective franchise differ in the different
States. Thus, in Massachusetts,, a foreigner
must be a resident two years after naturalization
to be a voter In Illinois, foreigners who are not
naturalized but who were residents before lS4S
are entitled to vote There could not well be
broader distinction than this.
But those who argue for universal negro suf-
frage, even if it we're practicable, do not appear
to see to what it would lead. The rebellion has
crushed out the gigantic aristocrscy of slavery
Give universal suffrage to the negro and We re-
vive an aristocracy in a scarce less hateful form.
The planter will return to his plantation, and hire
the negroes he formerly owned, When cleo
ton comes off, he will march his former chattels
to the polls to enact his will, and shall have
southern nabobs with n thousand votes piece,
and able control state well as national cleo
tons. Instead of extending power to the many,
il will have a tendency to bestow it upon the
few, Ii will be the :" rotten borough" system of
England in the most odious form.
The president has no power to confer the cleo
tive franchise upon the black man, in states that
are organized, or elsewhere. The functions of
state governments have been suspended by the
rebellion, not done away with altogether. In
reorganization-not reconstruction, goes the
popular phrase-the president declare who
have forfeited their rights to the elective fran
chise, but he cannot confer these rights upon
others. -
We would have the right to vote withheld from
all who have participated in the rebellion, until
they shall have proved themselves worthy to ex-
ercise it but if the power existed, we should
protest against such an exercise of il as would
give co the loyal disloyal the tremendous and
dangerous right TO march the negroes from their
cotton and rice plantations to WELD the weapon

And better than the bayonets" -

To gain negro suffrage 81. Greeley argues
and Phillips hints at reputation, aud finally We
have threats. At meeting in favor of the
suffrage of negroes, held in Brooklyn,N.Y. the
other day. negro preacher said
ssIn the south there will, however, be another
revolution yet. There is a deep under-current OF
feeling running among the slaves, and they feel
this-that they have been in bondage too long
All they ask is simply the right to live and to have
the projection of the laws as other men have: On.
less the government gives the slave the right oil
franchise. there will be trouble. Loud cries OF
sYes1 Take away the right of franchise from the
bIak man and there will yet come the darkest Pc
riod in our history in. the southern states. The
whites down there will rise up some oil these

A negro rebellion would perhaps in the
end be good thing for all parties. The me-
groes would then be exterminatsd. and the
country would then be rid of the only obsta-
Gle to its progress.

Soldiers Hymn to Davenport. or Growis In

And kept our wants supplied, Sir
But when at home, we hate to roam
And feel our claims denied, Sir
Then boys attend and hear friend
Tell how we fare in Davenport.
Great Dayenport-Rich Davenport
This wonderous city Davenport
The soldier men, in State OF Penn
Were kindly greeted
Chicago too,-did nobly do,
None could be better treated.
But you all know it wasn't so
When we came to Davenport.
Great Davenport Kind Davenport!
The rich and loyal Davenport.
The people here enjoy good cheer
And soldiers love to greet, Sir
But we descry-'tis in your eye
For naught we get to eat, Sir
Then boys come on and join the song
In praise ofloyal Davenport.
Great Davenport Rich Davenport
The generous folks of Davenport
For three Icing years we Gained their fears
Nor let the rebels lam them
But now It's o'er, we at their door
Can beg, or starve, 'fdog on" them,

Tell what they need in Davenport.

Radicals Threatening the President

Radicals Threatening snS
Hon. james NJ, Ashley, representative N
congress from the Toledo district IN onio'
narratss, in a speech lately made In loieao'
his recent interview with Mr.. Johnson IN
which the president stated his objections 70
interfering with the question of negro sun
rage in the south. Mr.. Ashley says this In
.erview was sought by him with the purpose
of presenting the views of the Earnest men
of the country Ii. e. radicals,-no other men
are in earnest in this country to the presi'
dent. To Mr.. Johnson's remarks Mr. Ash
lev responded, according to his own report
as follows:
al merely said to him that the anu-siaVety
narty had destroyed the old wing and democratic
partiss-that the wrecks of these parties were
now scattered and strewn along the Pohtcal
coast-apd that we intended, under God 10
crush any party or any man who stood up against
the universal enfranchisement OF the country.
This is the way war is declared, and, as
the Mississippi proclamation shows that Andy
johnson cannot be bullied, war may now be
considered in progress between the excius'
lively loyal party of the last four years ana
the president of the United States.

The democratic party does not insist on
excluding negroes from equal rights. The

by the constitution in the states. Ii insists
simply that Illinois, for instance, is the best

insists that President Johnson shall be sus-
