ASHINGToN, july :.
The selection of BENZ F. Perry as pro-
visional governor of South Carolina gives
great satisfaction to the delegation now
here from that state. Although he has
filed the position Of confederate Judge,
the Presidents personal knowledge of his
ability and integrity, coupled with Gov.
Perry's earnest desire TO restore civil rule
in that state, subscryient to the general
government, overwcished the objections
whi:h were urged against him.

that it had paid the government tax,
claim that its seizure for failure to pay

BRUTE HUNTER.--The Dovlestown
{ Pa.) Democrat gives the following ac-
count of the President of the "Vigilance
Committee Court at Washington, Brute
Hunter. 1t says:
On his retreat from Lynchburg, last
year, 4 wounded sergeant of cavalry, who
had walked 4 long distance, one day over
took big niger with two horses. and
asked him to lend him one to ride to camp
lie refused, and the sergeant took the
rains of one, and sat down on the road
side, not having ridden the horse foot.
The negro reported to Hunter that sold
ier had stolen one Of his horses, when he
and his staff rode to the spot, where the
soldier still sat. Hunter, in his brutality.
ordered member Of his staff to whip the
soldier, which he did, in his mean subser-
viency, until great velts were raised on
his body. That night the negro was shot.
General Hunter has not yet been called
to account, but will be when the stars are
off his shoulders. The soldier who was
thus cruelty outraged lives but a few miles
from here, and himself and friends know
how to obtain satisfaction for great
wrong

1t is easy to perceive that the question
Of negro suffrage is to become an important
issue in the politics of the country, and
in congress during the next twelve months
Already the jacobiu phylanthropsts are
forcing it upon the people. Gen. Butler,
who has done SO little for the country and
SO much for himself during the war, has
announced his platform containing only
two planks, viz: Negro suffrage in the
south, and the division of southern lands
among the soldiers. This platform if once
adopted would make the white population
Of the south slaves to the negro element
there. Wendell Phillips demands negro
suffrage, and threatens in case of refusal,
the reputation of the national debt
Ashley of Ohio, Boecher of New York,
and the Tribunes of the press, are raising
violent clamor against president John
son for his refusal to espouse the Butler
platform, and are taking the initiatory steps
to organize new party in opposition to
his administration, the first duty of
which will be to bring a sufficient amount
of pressure to bear upon the next congress
to force it to grant the elective franchise
to Americans of African descent; and ex-
Governor ex-Secretary, now Supreme
Judge Chase, has been on tour in the
southern states making stump speeches as
the champion Of the new idea. An able
contemporary, discussing this subject, says:
"When it is remembered that negro
suffrage in Alabama, and South Carolina.
where the negroes are larger in numbers
than the whites, and are continually null
tiplying in more rapid rate, means the
subsection of the whites to negro domna-,
tion-then the question becomes another
thing altogether. There are many persons
in the north who could witness the SUBJ
lection OF the whites of the south to negro
rule with savage delight This class is
composed of doctrinaires upon whom the
claims of friendship, kindred and race
have no hold; and persons in whose bo-
sons the late war engendercd hatred for
the insurgent people Of which even the
spectacle of their utter humiliation cannot
quench. The former demand negro suf-
frage to satisfy an abstract logic; the latter
demand 1T to appease savage thirst for
vengeance
THE granting of the franchise to the
negroes of the south, we have said, would
enable them to outvote the whites and
domineer over them with brutal rule. 1t
would do more 1t would lead to mate
rial change in our whole system of govern
ment The negroes at the south would
become mere auxiliarcs of the north
would side with the north in every party
contest. and thus the southern states in.
stead of continuing states, would degener-
ate into mere provinces; while the struggle
of the white race, inferior in numbers
but superior in intelligence, and spirit
against the unaccustomed degradation
would make insurrecton an ever present
feature in our economy, and lead to per,
petual strife"

Persons are daily and hourly inquir-
ing of Us what news we have from .cfer-
son City. What additional returns have
been receivedy How does the vote stand
now ? Is the New Constitution adopted
or rejected? These questions are on
everybody's lips. They are prompted by
that manly interest in the preservation of
their liberties which American laws have
always encouraged American frecmen to
exhibit. But no answer comes to them.
We are utterly in the dark. The Secre-
tary of States Office is shrOuded i'll mystic
~, and darkness. His office is barred
against the people. The records and pa
pers, which are the property of the people,
are jealousy guarded against their scruti-
ny. What the vote whether the
Drake Constitution has been adopted or
rejected, are matters of which the Secre-
tary of State permits the people to know
nothing.
Was such an extraordinary spectacle
ever before witnessed i'll free country
Since writing the above. we learn that
the new Constitution has been declared
adopted by majority of 1900, and will
go into operation Immediately.

Eadicalism In Missouri.

Not the least odious among the fanati-
cal vagaries of the radicals of the present
day is the attempt on the part of Gov.
Fletcher, and Secretary of State, Rodman,
to foist upon the people of the State OF
Missouri what is known as the "Drake
Constitution" recently enacted by the
charcoal convention of that state. This
infamous document, by which no one who
is opposed to negro suffrage, and the
whole system of radical usurpations, Is to
be permitted to participate in the conduct
of affairs in Missouri, has been submitted
to vote Of the people, and condemned
secuted, spit upon and defeated by ma
jority of he.,voters, is nevertheless, BY the
scroundrel;em of Gov. Fletcher and his
political associates TO be declared the SUI
preme law Of the State. Secretary Rod
man for a time permitted the returns of
the election to be examined and telegraph
ed to St. Louis and elsewhere, but rs soon
as it was ascertaincd that by system of
fraud the returns could be 50 manipulated
as to afford an excuse for declaring in ia
vor of the new Constitution, he suddenly
discovered that he had no right to allow
any one except the Governor to see then,
or to know the result Of the election
His course in this matter is at variance
with both law and custom from time I'M
memorial, and there is no doubt but that
they intend by this manouvre to saddle
upon the people of that state consttu-
ton never adopted by them, and which
by it's terms will perpetuate the power of
the charcoals for long time to come.

These facts are many OF them known to

facts which more directly and personally

these is the refUs: of Rodman to allow

Geological Survey Of Iowa.

A commencement Of this important
work was made several years since
by Mr.. James Hall, Of Albany, New
York. Having been suspended du-
ring the rebellion. its resumption is
now demanded 10y the return of peace.
The report of Mr.. Hall was received
with favor among men of science, and
was honorable to the State, but it en-
tirely omitted the subject of economio
geology, and was of little practical
use to our people. It is of great inn
portance that this omission should
be at once supplied, and that the
great body of our people should be-
put in possession of accurate informa-
tion as to the nature of our soil, the
structure Of onr rocks. and their rela-
tions and adaptations to practical
uses. Ignorance upon these matters
has occasioned much waste of labor
among farmers and builders.
We trust the further prosecution of
this work will be committed to citi-
zens Of our own State, who combine
scientific attainments with practical
knowledge. 1t is a matter for con-
graduation and honest pride that
Iowa has citizens who have gained dis
tinction by laborious study in this de-
partment, and who have superior
qualifications for the service that re-
mains to be performed. DR.. Charles
A. White, of Iowa City, for many
years a resident of Burlington, has
been mentioned as a suitable person
to continue our Geological Survey,
and from our knowledge of his un-
wearied application aud devotion to
these subjects, and his eminent fitness
for the work, we trust he may receive
the appointment. We know of no
person more suitable to fill Profess
sorship in our agricultural College.
DIR. White has lived in Iowa moro
than a quarter Of century. All his
interests are in our State. He has
contributed number of articles to
the leading scientific journals Of tho
country. which have won high COM
mendations from prominent Geolo.
gists like Professor Dana, Of Yale
College. In Professor Hinrichs, Of
the State University, we have also a
chemist of eminent qualifications for
the analysis Of soils.
We should be glad to see the Trus-
tees of the Agricultural College take
action upon this matter at an early
day. 1t deserves public considera-
tion that the members Of our next Leg
lature may be prepared to act upon it
