Rhode Island offers Advice.

The Legislature of Rhode Island has
passed resolutions in favor of allowing
negroes to vote in the reorganization OF
the Southern States The State of Rhode
Island does not permit naturalized for
eigners to vote unless they own certain
amount of property, and when at the
last election it was proposed to permit
those who had served honorably in the
army of the United States to vote with
out the property qualification, the propo-
sition was rejected by large majority
of the people Negroes who hold suffi-
cicnt amount of property are permitted
to vote in Rhode Island, but white nat
uralized foreigners, even though they
may be soldiers in the army, arc not per
mitted to vote unless they have been for
tunate enough to acquire some wealth.
And yet that State feels called upon to
upbraid the President for not forcing
unlimited negro suffrage upon tho South
ern States in. defiance of their clearly
understood rights and i'll violation ofhis
oath

Citizcnsbip for Women.

In these days of liberality aud pro-
gress, while the expediency of comforting
the right of suffrage upon the lately
emancipated slaves is being seriously dis
cussed, is no one gallant enough to say
a word in behalf of the political rights of
women! Shall we be more liberal to the
semi-barbarous negroes than we are to
the better portion eff our own race! If
loyalty to the Government be made the
condition precedent to the exercise Of
the right of suffrage, surely our northern
women can stand the test If services
rendered during the war are the cOndi-
lions, certainly the heroic efforts of the
women should not he sighted or over
looked; they did more for the war and
the comfort and health ofthe army, than
al the negroes from Maine to Texas. If
general Intelligence and knowledge Of
the workings of our system of govern
ment he required. VIII" viii dare f. say
that the white women Of our country are
not better informed than the entire black
race, OF. in many instances, than ono
half of those who are now entitled
70 vote The advocates Of negro
suffrage claim that In some of the States
negroes are already permitted to vote,
and in Other, they formerly exercised
that privilege In reply to this we can
also point to presidents in our history in
favor of comforting the right Of suffrage
~, ~ females Women voted in New
Jersey for several years after the adop-
iion Of the Federal Constitution In

extension Of all the privileges of citizen
ship to women. Indeed many more and
better arguwrutsCan he brought forward

former If the right of suffrage
is to be extended at all, if we
are to take any advanced step"
III relation to the governing class
~ this country, the right OF suffrage
should be conferred upon women sooner
than upon the negroes in any of the
state, For ourselves, We think the suf-
frage Is already sufficiently extended and
would better remain as il is and as the
experience of the past has fixed it, but
we do not hesitate to say that we are
more in favor of its extension to free
white women than tothe most intelligent
~ loyal African that ever lived.

A New Phrase of Human Depravisy.

As a class. the Southern negroes have
always commanded Il certain degree OF
respect on account of their general de-
pertinent, well cared for and sleek-loOk-
ing bodies. and the simplicity but earn
estness of their religious character -
POOr-hOuses and hospitals were unknown
among them, and cases of intemperance
very rare. When under the care of mas
tiers, excessive indulgence was impossi-
bic. Now, however, they are invested
with the principles of freemen, and forth
with we find the base white men, having
no interest in the preservation of their
life or morals, begin to hover around the
unprotected victim, plying him with all
the alluring devices which pertain to "a
higher civilization (?) with the object of
making filthy lucre. Take as an exam
pie the following from the New Orleans
PicdyuRe:
will it be easily believed that there
are those among us who are in the prac-
tice of peddling out poisonous whisky
and other vile compounds to the vaga-
bond negroes who are to be found on the
line of the railroad, i'll Mississippi, and
in the purleux of the parishes and viii
lagos, taking therefor their little boards
of silver, and making of these poor crea-
lures the pests and nuisances of their
neighborhood I"
Unless strong preventive measures are
employed there is reason to fear that the
lot of the unfortunate Indian race will
in course of time fall to the descendants
of the African in this country, and that
instead of having occasion, as now, to
marvef-at the fecundity of the Southern
negro, we shall see him wasting away
from the inroads of disease, and vicious
propeusities. This is the fate of the
Sandwich Islander and of all the inferior
races when brought into competition
with the pure bloOded white man. Let
our philanthropic societies take notice,
and seek to devise a remedy. Good
sumptuary laws = ~ accomplish some
thing. Negroes heretofore have increas-
ed rapidly AT the South. 1t would be .
sad story if liberty should debase and
decrease them.-Jow"di Of Commerce.

meut 10 no.
The radicals in the Republican party
seem to desire that the freed negroes in
the South shall be supported directly
from the Government Treasury. The
Wilmington IN. c. correspondent of the
New York Tribune for instance, says:
81 must state-I do it more in sorrow
than anger-that our military command
ers and soldiers too often fail to do their
duty toward these poor wanderers
Nearly two hundred men, women and
children had accumulated at the depot
at Greensboro on Friday, coming from
Charlotte and other places, trying to
reach their 'olr plantation in different
portions of the State and the Sounds
Here they were kept for want OF trans
portation the best part of three days and
nights exposed to the heat and rain, and
to be robbed and abused Ivy disgra;etul
scamps wearing United States uniforms.
Some colored men who had saved few
dollars were garrotted and their money
taken away; and Young women, and even
the sick, were outraged in the presence
of, and against the circumstances OF par
ents. There was no guard--or II there
was one, it wholly failed to protect them.
learned these facts from observation,
and from the abused parties themselves.
Among these persons We're sick children,
one of whom died-and the other extreme
cases requiring prompt and humane at
tentiOn.
Such is the state of affairs, and such
must it continue for some time to come,
that the United States Government must
provide directly for these freed people,
or they will perish in large numbers
They must have discreet and capable
friends, with authority to make provis.
ion for them; to have them transported
when necessary, or promptly furnished
employment, shelter and friendly care"
Here the result of emancipation is, that
the United States Government must pro
vide directly for the negroes, or they will
perish in large numbers, This is the end
of the humanitarian philosophy which
has been refined cruelty to the negro,
rendering him homeless, uncared-tor
wandcrer.

pulpit, in private conversations 1t is The
issue-almost the only issue-of the day.
We regret. therefore, that the State Con-
vention did not declare itself explicitly
and Enthusiastically upon it,"
A few days later, however, the Leader
discovered that the platform did really,
by Interpretation, pronounce in favor of
negro suffrage, and it gave in. its adher-
ence and was satisfied.
On the other hand. the conservatives
of the party, led by the Cincinnati Com
mercial, are delighted with the platform
because it does not recognize negro suff-
rage. The Commercial says:
"Gentlemen of radical tendencies, with
properuity to enlist under the banner OF
Mr. Ashley and proceed summary to
break down the President, were rather
conserved than otherwise when they
heard the news Of the action of the army
delegates, who unanimously adopted a
resolution instructing their representa-
tives in the committee on Resolutions to
insist upon an unequivocal Endorsement
of the Administration. There were no
words wasted in this resolution of the
soldiers. To instruct, to insist upon that
which was uneqairocal, meant business.
1t meant, too, that which we have been
telling the people for some time, that the
fighting men who had conquered the
South, were not in favor of reconstruct
ing the Southern States npon the basis
of negro suffrage. The soldiers who have
been at the front, NAV not be educated
mp as fast as some of those who have not
kept their company may desire; bnt
there they are. and they have spoken for
themselves"
The prospect seems to be that harmo,

The Ohio Platform.

The Republican party in Ohio is hav-
ing great deal of difficulty just now in
determining exactly what is the mean
ing of the platform adopted at the late
convention. The newspapers in the
northern portion of the State claim to
lind in the resolutions an endorsement of
their favcrite doctrine of negro suffrage
while those south of the national road
think IT means no such thing The radi-
Gals imagine that the affirmation of the
doctrine of equality contained in the
declaruion of independence. and referred
to in the platform, commits the party
eguarely in favor ofuegrn suffrage, while
the conservatives say that the cndoIse-
mont of President JOHNSpN'S admins
tration contained in another plank of
the platform is an explicit denial OF the
doctrine tc which thcIadicalN cling No
better proof could possibly he had of
the shutting and trading character OF
the platform aud the politicians that
made IT than Is Afforded by these widely
different interpretations.
The Cleveland Leader, reading the
platform without the negro suffrage III
depreciation, was at first dissatisfied aud
expressed itself as follows;
Our objection to the platform lies not
in what it says but in what it fails to
say We looked for bold and explicit
declaration from the Convention on the
subject of negro suffrage in the South
and of equal suffrage to whites and
blacks in the State of Ohio. We are dis
