ted Rress, dated in this'city to-day. saysin ref
erence to the reported conversation between
General Grant and himself upon Mexican af
fairs, that Mr.. Smith certainly misunderstood
him n his version OF the conversation Is cor
rectly reported. Judge Cation says he never
was on train from Cincinnati with General
Grant to his knowledge, but that he did once
have casual conversation with that officer,
IN which Mexico was all1ded to. In that con-
versation, Gen. Grant in noway intimated to
him that 1t was the purpose of the govern
ment TO interfere with Mexican affairs.

ask, why notY We would appeal to them to
take this matter into their own hands; TO take
this political capital out of the hands Of the
Northern abolition faction, and TO use it for
themselves and a. Southern political balance
of power. It is not necessary to grant the suf
frage to the mass of the emancipated blacks
over twenty-one years of age. 1t may be
hedged about with the restrictions and limita-
tions imposed on the model abolition States.
The concession Of the principle OF negro suf-
frage is all that will be required to disarm the
radical abolition faction in Congress- and this
concession, astounding az it may seem to men
schooled under the old defunct institution OF
slavery, is q small thing compared with the
advantages which the now excluded States will
gain by their speedy restoration to Congress.
or all the late rebellious States taken In
hand de nouo by President Johnson, it is pos
sible that Mississippi may be the only one that
will have progressed by December to the cleo
ton Of members Of Congress- It is impor-
tant therefore, in view Of this contingency,
that Mississippi should come before Congress
so reorganised a. to secure her prompt adnis-
sion; for thus tho way will be made plain TO
all the other States in the same sassgory,' and
thus this question OF negro sui'fsge, which
threatens world Of agitation, trouble and
discord, especially in the South. will be quiet
ly settled, to the advantage Of the Southern
States in every way. We would earnestly call,
therefore, upon the Mississippi State Conven-
ton to lead or in this work Of restoration with
the concession of the principle Of negro suf-
frage, for, in ceasing TO be slave, the S0uth-
ern negro becomes man, whose political
claims must be recognized by the South, or
they will he used by our abolition agitatora
against the Sonth, and possibly to the disad,
vantage and Reorganization Of Southern socie'
ty. The two races in the South must be har'
monised by the South, or they will never be
harmonized at all.

FLORIDA. Al a. early period IS practicable.
The proclamations Of each and all these
governors 70 their people, In reference to these
elections and conventions. are Satisfactory. and
most Of them are admirable State papers, in
exposition Of the great revolution which the re-
beilion has brought upon the South, and OF the
ways and means for meeiing the now order Of
things. Governor Sharkey, Of Mississippi, for
example. distinguished for many years as an
authoritative expounder of the law, tells bis
people that slavery not only in fact, but in
law is dead. and that all their proceedings in
this business Of reorganization mus. start from
that initial landmark So with all the rest OF
these Provisional Governors; and they also I'D.
monish their people THAT the war has demol-
ished that disastrous Southern fallacy of the
right of secession, and that the sovereignty Of
the United States is paramount. But there is
one point upon which no step has been taken
by any Of these Provisional Governors. Not
one OF them has anything 10 say Of the neccs-
sity, The propriety or the expedioncy Of negro
suffrage, which, from the fierce agitation com
menccd in Its favor by the abolition radicals of
the North, may already be pronounced the
leading political question Of the day.
The Mississippi State Convention met yesser-
day nj Jackson. No imprr'rni business be-
yond organizing was transacted but we
presume that this convention will act upon
tho fixed and irreyocable fact that slavery
is dead, and will take care to secure
from the initial State Legislature of the
new dispcnsation the ratification of The con-
stitutonal amendment ebolishing slavery ~ a
sine qua non in view of the acceptance of the
new State government by Congress. We pre-
sumo that each of the States concerned will
recognize these concessions on their part az
indispensable to their restoration TO Congress.
But what will this Mississippi State Convention
do upon this ugly question Of negro sufrragef
The President has said nothing upon the sub.
ject. He leaves IL to the authorized white reor-
ganizers of the several States directly inte-
rested. Governor Sharkey has nothing to say
In favor Of any system Of negro suffrage. He
leaves this matter untouched, and the Missis-
sppi Convention, which we suppose assembled
yesterday, will probably aot upon bis example,
and follow In the wake of the State Of Tennes-
see, recognized under tho special supervision
Of President Ilncoln's Provisional Governor,
candy Johnson"

SOUTH AMERICAN ALLIANCE AGAINST Ev'
RoPE.-The South American republics are q
last waking up to the conviction that in unicA
there is strength, and that warfare among
themselves is destructive to all. The invasion
of Mexico by European arms has opened their
eyes to the danger threatening them from that
quarter, and thus we find that treaty was
entered into ct Lima, in January last--the text
of which we give in another column-betweeu
seven States-namely, Salvador, Venezuela,
Colombia, Bolivia, Chile. Peru and Ecuador-by
which they agree not to go to war with eaca
other for fifteen years, to settle any difficulty
which may arise by peaceful arbitration, moi
to permit troops nor munitions Of war to pass
through their territory to be used against any
one of the contracting States, nor to allow tho
vessels of any foreign Power which may DO 81
war with any Of the contracting States to rent
or obtain goods contraband Of war in .thsis
ports. This must be regarded asa defensive
treaty against Europe, and it had bees
adopted years ago South and Central Aneriea
would be In very different position today
The other republics are invited to join tn
alliance, and we presume that many Of then
will do 40.
