Representation In the south In
creased by the Emancipation
Of the slaves.

That the basis of representation for. Com
gressional purposes, has been increased by
the manumisson Of the Slaves, is fact
that is beginning to dawn on the minds OF
the Aboltionsts Before this event took
place. in the basis Of representation five
slaves were counted as equivalent to three
free men. Now. these same slaves, by rea-
son ofhaving had freedom conferred on them,
count woflths more, they count as mucha a.
the corresponding number of white NEIL
Therefore, in short time the South Will be
able to throw a larger representation into
! Congress than heretofore. And tins fact l.
urging the abolitionists forward in the adj
vocacy of the extension of Suffrage to the
Southern Negroes. They affect to believe,
among other things, that if Suffrage Is moi
extended to them, a large delegation will be
thrown into Congress from the South who
will act politically, with the Democratic
| Members, and between them they may play
the deuce with the abolitionists and theil
high protective Tariff notions and their pa
per money fallacies and their class legisla
tion generally.
The abolitionists., no doubt, desire to pc
riodicaly renew their lease Of power. W,
apprehend however, that if they shall force
Suffrage on the Blackssep the South, cithe
by direction or indiretfon, they will yer.
mnch over each themselves, In the lat
Civil War, the Democratic party has beer
of no manner of use to the South. 1t ha
given to the South no aid in either men 0
money. Men who were called "War Dem
ocrats' voluntarily went into the army
while anti-War Democrats generally CAV
money and furnished substitutes to escap
the draft themselves or to secure exemptio
for their sons or friends This was givin
practically aid to the Administration in put
ting down the Rebellion. The people {
: the South, therefore, do not feel themselve
: under obligations to the Democrats, eithC
War or State Rights. They are completed
at the mercy of the Administration. The
are bereft of resistance; the Democrat
party can render them no assistance; bl
the administration has it in its power t
make friends and supporters of that pee
pie. All that it has to do to secure resu
50 desirable, is to treat them with the great
est magnanimity and to allow them TO d
, their own legislation; but it can t be don
by extensive hanging, contiscation, expG
triation and making voters out Of the Nc
groes. - Statesman.

PUNCTUATION. Previous to 1920, there
were no stops in books, and all language.
whether printed or in manuscript, were, like
the Hebrew, without punctuation. The
Germans punctuate great deal more than

capital letter as did the earlier English
authors. The use of capital letters is con-
tinually growing.

A New Party.

Ii is now well understood in Washington,
in well informed circles, that the President
is determined to do what he thinks is right,
no matter how he may be assailed for it, -
He does not believe that an unsuccessful re-
belion has destroyed the rebellious States,
and their constitutions, and he will leave the
question of suffrage to be decided by those
who have the right to decide it, 1t would
not be at all surprising if au Administration
party should be formed out Of the recent
political parties, which will give to Mr..
johnson S Administration very much of the
vigor and strength that characterized the
Administration Of General Jackson. N,
