dead on Village Greek, last week. The first
discovery Was mad. BY W. H. Grips, who
procured the assistance Of Thomas Hale. and
removed the bodyto the house of G. w.
Dobbs, about two niles south Of the place
where the body wasfound. An inquest was
held here, the verdict Of the jury being, that
the deceased came to his death in conse.
quence of the wager overturning and falling
upon him. The bdy was then removed to
the Court House in0ttumwa, and measures
taken to ascertain vho It was. The body
was subsequently, Identified as being that
Of Nathaniel Johnsn, formerly resident of
Eddyville, but lattsiy Of Schuyler county

The test proposed is philosophical. just.

whether he is of pure white blood. or

more than any other measure, exalt us

appreciate the necessity that exists for
having the negro votein State in which
the blacks are all loval and the whites
nearly all disloyal. But to throw open
the sufficient number of ignorant votes
to control Presidential election, might
elect Mr.. Phillips to the Presidency, but
it would add greater than all to the
dangers that have heretofore best the
Republic One of Mr.. Phillips, own
remarks eloquently illustrates these
dangers: France, after her convulsion,
lapsed into mere nation of pedlars in
the hands of Louis Philippe, and let him
do what he pleased. She rose again.
tore his throne to pieces, and struggled
to realize an idea. Napoleon conquered
it, and she lapsed again, contented

Misseme, dread and amusement" In
both these instances this evil wss caused
by the fact that the intelligent portion
of the French people were outvoted by
the ignorant. 1t was an universal and
mainly ignorant suffrage that created
Louis Napoleon's despotism. A similar
cause in this country might easily pro-
duce a like effect. No honest and intelli
gent white man, however, will see any
danger in permitting an honest and in
telligent black man to vote.
That we are not alone among those
who are denominated radicals, in the
views here expressed, is evidence by the
following paragraph, which We quote
from lengthy letter Of Hon. b. Gratz
Brown to the editor of the Missouri Dem
ocrat, date Washington, Dec. %, 1864 ::
Doubtless few, if any, contemplate
that all who are emancipated, either by
law or military orders, shall at once,
and without discrimination, be admitted
to n right of suffrage; for while there is
much cant in the common language about
not being prepared for freedom. yet
there are probations to the exersise of
a right of voting, recognized throughout
our political system, which it would be
proper to apply in this as in other in
stances The establishing in the Con
stitution of the principle is Of more i'm
portance than any question about Incl
dents. The latter in few years vanish,
or become exhausted; the former is per-
ennial, and always expanding its applica-
