public sentiment in favor of it. the courage of
the Sumnerites and Stevensites in congress
will be rapidly dissipated. The returns from

there be followed by republican reverses in

The Connecticut EIection--The Fate of
NegrO-Suifrage.


We remarked yesterday that the fret bat
tie on the question of negrO-suffrage had Como
against the African, the people of Colorado
having stricken the dark coIored suffrage
clause out of their state constitution by vote
of about five to one. Connecticut has follow
ed the example of Colorado, returns from that
state showing the defeat of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment by majority of sew
eral thousand. This is the more significant
as the advocates of negro-sutfrage were most
industrious in the campaign, being encour-
aged aud stimulated in their work by pathe-
THO and earnest appeals from radicals of 9TH
er states. The opponents of cOlored suffrage
in Connecticut, relying upon their strength,
made but little exertion. The number of ne.
groes in the state being so small. little inter
est was felt i'll the decision, except as it af-
fected national politics. Its bearing upon
these was well understood, and frequently
during the canvass the New York Tribune
spoke to the descendants of the Pilgrims"
something as follows:
"The issue, as we have SAID, is local, but more
particularly national The war does not seem To
have given us manhood suffrage-or rather The
war did give It-whle the fence men and the
messy politicians threw it away. We shall have
to struggle for 1t, to meet prejudicea to oppose
narrow ard hostile organizations and educate the
people to 1t. To do this must have words q
cheer and comfort from Connecticut. Alone of
all the New England states, she denies to intel
ect. ind ustry and labor what she gives the mere
tinge of the skin. New England should be a unit
IN this great cause, and, when she has united the
moral effect upon the nation will be sublime.o
The result of the elections this fall will of
course materially influence the action of the
republican members of congress In sssailing

under the late southern cOniederacC.
President Johnson has Just designated Col.

the reign of radical terrorism has ended
Forgiveness, peace and meek-eyed mercy are
at last emerging from the blood and chaos of civil
war. The black book of confscation will soon
be closed, and the president will live in history
as the worthy successor of Washington and the
father of new and Purified Union.

Indignation to retract the atrocious falsehoods
which he has willfully and maliciously published
about lady who has been eighteen months in
her grave-which retraction he refused to make,
in the first instance, at the request of son of
the deceased lady,-seeks to retrive his shame by
asserting that If it was not that lady whom the
democrats of Illinois sent a mission to the
southern rebels, then il was some other; and
by further charging the Illinois democracy with
all sorts of reasonable designs and movements
in that and Others similar connections. OF
course these assertions are willfully and NAL
iciously false as those which have been so grudg-
ingly and gracelessly recanted. That they
should be made, however, is characteristic and
natural. person actuated by motives of COM
mon decency would have promptly and unquali-
fiedly repaired the wrong done to the deceased
lady by the original publication at the very first
moment his attention was called to the facts
The person in this case is not of that sort. The
original publication was made IN fact, with per-
feet knowledge of its falsity.
The record of the democracy OF Illinois con-
corning peace negotiations during the late war
is like its record in all other respects, clean
one. 1t is comprised in the passage of Joint
resolutions through the lower house of the legis-
lature in 1868, and their tendency in the senate,
declaring unequlVocaIly III FAVOR OF the preseTNA-
ton of the union, but suggesting whether peace
could not be attained and the union preserved
by negotiation, and appointing commission, at
the head of which was the venerable Judge Logan
and member of which was Judge Cation, whose
| duty it would have been TO visit, with the per
mission of President Lincoln, Richmond and
other southern capitals, with the view of ascer-
tanning the real temper of the south, and If peace
and union attainable on conditions honora
/ HE n the federal government. Thew dark
! DAYS of the war when these resolutions were in
troduced into the legislature OF Illinois, and ap'
! proval of the movement not confined to the
democratic party. This, We repeat is the entire
/ record of the Illinois democracy concerning
/ peace negotiations during the late war, and who
ever asserts the contrary lies purposely and will
malice prepense.-C Chicago Times.

The Close of the Great Seven-thirty
Loan.

Loan.
The following from the N. Y Times
gives an interesting summary of the
movements of this loan:
Gall of the great Seven-thirty has
now been marketed. The three series
of notes into which the loan was di-
vided were as follows: The first Sc
ries, of $500, 900, 900 bearing date
August Is, 1864, and now quoted at
par and interest; the second series,
also of 100000, 1000, bearing date
June Is, 1865, and now selling in this
market at 09a to 995, adding interest;
and the third and final series of $780,
600, 900, bearing date July Is, 1865,
and Just closed out at par and inter-
est. These three series of notes make
grand aggregate of $3.50, OOO, 900, all
disposed of within one year, in the
home MARKET exclusively and at par.
Under the direct supervision of the
Treasury Department, between the
beginning of August 1864, and the
LIST of February, 1865, period Of
six months, the sales of the first Sc
ries of the loan reached $3.50, 900, 900,
or a wsekly average of $4,000, 000.-
Late in January, 1865, Hon, VIM, p.
Fessenden, then Secretary of the
Treasury, re appointed Mr.. Jay Cooke
General Loan Subscription Agent Of
the department, the duties of which
position he had demonstrated his emf
nent fitness to discharge during the
process of marketing over five hun
dred millions of the Five-Twenty
Loan, the popular precursor of the
emphatically more popular Seven
Thirties. Mr.. Cooke formally assum-
ed charge of the Seven-Thirty Loan
on the 1st of February, and promptly
revived the admirable sub-agency sys-
TEN, which he had organized during
his first official connection with the
national finances. Between the lst Of
February and the Goth of the current
month of July, Mr.. Cookies agent,
acting under his personal supervision,
sold S700,000,000 worth of Seven
Thirties, thus running up the daily
average rate of sale within fraction
of 100000, or equal to the weekly
rate of distribution, under the Treas
ury management. Never, in the his
tory of nations, was such an enor-
nous amount Of money raised for
public use, with such extraordinary
rapidity and success, as in the instance
of the 7-30 loan, which is now all in
the hands of the loyal people, and
deemed by them the most desirable
security ever issued by the Govern
ment. The notes of the loan have
been more widely distributed than any
previous issues Of the Treasury De.
partment, with the solitary exception Of
the famous greenJaeks. And, it is safe
to say, that wherever, in the remotes
section of the country, any spare
greenJacks awaiting an opportunity fol
reliable and profitable investment, the
7-30 found them out, drew them forth
and swa lowed them up, to the advan
tage, present and prospective, of al
interested PARTIES"

The Commissioners of Indian af-
fairs, has issued an important letter to
superintendent of Indian ntilirs and
Indian agents. They are instructed
to subordinate their action and inter-
course with tribes in hostility to the
Government, to the policy of the OPP
erations of the War Department, and
not deliver goods, money, or other
property, 10 any nation, tribe or-band
while they are in hostility to the Gov
eminent; to be especially vigilant,
that no traders under their supervi-
sion, has any trade or intercourse with
any members of such disaffected tribe
or band, under penalty of the revoca-
ton of his license, and expulsion,
from within his jurisdiction, and to
suspend all Intercourse with such In
dians, except so far as the same may
be sanctioned by the military officers
in charge of the operations against
them. They are further instructed to
give information to the public upon
the subject of Indian affairs, and to
request assistance and cooperation of
the military authorities where difficult
ty may arise in enforcing the civil pol
lev of government toward Indians at
peace with the United States, and are
ordered to mako full and explicit
monthly report TO the Indian office OF
the condition of the tribes under their
charge, with such other suggestions
as they may deem beneficial to them.

Or CREEK IN THE OLpEN TIME.-
Since the development of oil upon Oil
Creek, the impression has very gener-
ally prevailed that the name of that
creek is Of recent origin. This is a
mistake. Oil Creek, by name, is as
old as the Indian traditions extend
The Indians used the oil in their re-
ligious worship, the ceremonies being
described by the French Commandant
of Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgl,
to his Excellency, General Montcalm,
the unfortunate hero of Quebec: al
would DESIRE" says the commandant,
'to assure your Excellency that this
is most delightful land. Some of
the most astonishing natural wonders
have been discovered by our people.
While descending the Allegheny, Is
leagues below the mouth of the Con-
ewango, and three above Fort Venan-
60, we were invited by the Chief of
the Senecas to attend religious GER
emony of his tribe. We landed and
drew up our canoes at a point where
a small steam entered the river. The
tribe appeared unusually solemn
We marched up the stream about half
a league, where the company, large
band it appeared, had arrived some
days before US. Gigantic hills begirt
us on every side. The scene was re-
ally sublime. The great chief then
recited the conquests and -heroism Of
his ancestors. The surface of the
stream was covered with thick scum,
which burst into complete confagra-
ton. The oil had been gathered and
lighted with a torch. At the sight of
the flames, the Indians gave forth a
triumphant shout that made the hills
and valleys re-echo again. Here then
is revived the ancient fire worship OF
the East--here then are the children
of the sun %
