Some remarks Of The TRIBUNE upon Nepro
Suffrage are noticed by contemporary with /.
few Interpretations and the reflection that
4" the Southern people should settle their busi.
ness in their own interest and in discharge Of
their own duty. IL is none Of our Jxsin.ssr
The italics, not our own, exhibit the same
wise craftsmanship which, not many years
ago, told us that Slavery anywhere was free to
go everywhere, and was our business nowhere.
When South Carolina rebelled, it was still NO
business Of ours; but there nevertheless 70

Carolina pleased. Let alone" and mind
your own business, are eptomeS of doctrine with
which the pugnaclous policy Of "how-nOt-to-do-
it" has long made US familiar. But. though it
must be allowed that it was no part Of the
business of the South to abolish Slavery, still
we assert that the South did it by the act Of
Secession. Now, the ex-Rebel Sovereimtes"
are still waiting outside of the great family Of

getting worse than nothing, in default of fran
chise in exchange for their very wounds. Yet
we are told :" it is none Of our business"
Plainly, We think it is. What is the business
of enlightened journalism it would be difficult
to define or circumscribe by local limits at any
time. When will New.York newspapers cease
to have the privilege Of discussing the internal
economy of the State of Camden and AmbOyi
When will the great Democratic birthrght Of
abusing every State which does not give a
Democratic majority be forfeited or ourtailedi
When will it cease to be the business OF che
Opposition to do all III its power to keep the
negro as he is, with decided preference for IA
he was ~ We believe it is our business to en-
deavor to convince all whom we can reach.
We also believe that Negro Suffrage is an open
question. The whole South is, in fact, an open
question, and the primary and peculiar business
of the nation.

painters were taken along, to DO, the work

them they were marked as United States
soldiers unknown. On the extreme right,
two sites for cemeteries were laid out and
inc1osed hy neat fences. One OF these was
on the Orange county road, one and hall
miles from Lachy, and the other on the
Orange Court House plank road. The re-

FreIghtIpE Bustness on the PIalnss
From fhe Ieayenworth Conservative, 13d.1

Few people have IN idea Of the immense
amount OF business done at the Fort in the
Quarte.master and CommIssary Departments
In the war Of contracting for and receiving
aud forwardtng supplies. Vast quantities
are daily started for the plains, Utah, New
Mexico, &c. Captain M1rtey, Depot Com
rnissa1y, fo1wa dsd TO the above and other
points, last week. one and half million
pounds OF stores, or one-4uarter million
daily. One almost wonders where such i'm
mtnEe quantities eau be stored, till they see
the vast stone buildings rsed for that pur-
pose. To d person who has never seen these
large wagon trains loading and starting for
an extreme outpost, it may be considered
quite eight. Twenty-iour large wagons,
drawn by eeyen yoke Of oxen, containing
elxty hunds ed pounds each, compose what Is
termed o. t1ain," and with the crack OF the
whip, like the report Of pistol, they are of
on fhels pilgrimage, for the vast pl.ins Of the
West, and are soon with the Indian aud buf-
falo, Often these trains are mile IN length.

lima ly the square application Of well
knowc act Of Congress TO the case o. Gov
c5nor Holden. Hewas State Printer to the
rebel government In North Caro1!na, of which
State he now holds the Federal appointment
Of Provisional Governor. The law In ques.
tlou enacts that all persons accepting posts
Of homer or emolument under the Gorern-
mcnt Of the United States shall swear that
they have neither sought nor accepted nor
exercised nor attempted to exercise the fnnc.
tlons OF any ot1lce whatever, under
authority hostile to the United
States. Manifestly Governor Holden cannot
take this oath, and It will very largely re-
strict, until modified out OF existence, the
number Of those who can give oflcial sid to
TIC reorganization OF the South. The rebels
were fond Of Office long bcfo1e they were
rebels, and The attaindcr of oince holding
under the Davis rule rests upon many Of
them. 1t Is fortunate that such is the case,
and that legislation is happily perfected
which viii conane to private positions and
to enforced modesty more than few eager
place hunters under the Government, whose
hands arc yet red with the stain OF rebellion,
ard wAote hearts are still filed with the Eall
