A SAD SToRY.-"Are there any human be

the tepmost garrett Of one Of our over-ctowd-

one, and alas there are many like it OF
which the world never hears. The poor
woman's husband was in the Lexington
Avenue hospital, give up by the surgeons.
One OF lis legs had been mputated, and a

The garrett on which they found her was

scrption. She lay shivering upon a piece

child only a few days old beside her. She
was dying of exhaustion and exposure, with
no creature near to save her waiing babe

"There are plenty of beings" said the un-
fortunate woman, "wheiher they are hu,

Ii was TOO late 10 save her, bui she was
made as comfortable as possible, and died
with s7mpaIhiz:ng faces leaning over her
pillow and in the full assurance that her
infant would be- cared for. The husband

1t seems incredible that in a house con-

Negro Suffrage aud Equality.

The question OF negro suffrage is begin

pie, and, Judging from the outgivings OF
Chief Justice Chase, Senator Sumner and
other leading Aboltionists, will be the lead
ing issue in our Stale elections and in the
next Presidential election. The question OF
African Slavery, having been settled by the
war, can no longer trouble Us. II is now
out of politics. With lis departure the
country has a good riddance, and the :hirty
years. controversy about the institution is
ended. But the Aboliionisfs are not sais-
fed with this. They are rot content with
the Abolition OF slavery, so far as Presiden
tial procIamalions and Congressional enac:-
menis can abolish il. They must also, for.
sooth, have the negro upon a social and
political equality with the white man; they
wish TO give him the right OF suffrage and,
per consequence, make him eligible 10

The entering wedge 10 perfect equality
between the black and white races is this
very question OF African suffrage. Open
the ballot boxes TO the negro, and the next
step will be TO seat him in your Jury boxes,
in your city councils, in your halls Of legis

very grade. Then will follow social equal>

and all The disgusting and abominable con-

is this question that will be determined by
the people Of Pennsylvania in October next.
Ii is forced upon public attention by the
actions of The leaders OF the Republican
