Suffrage of Colored Soldiers.

THE OHIO STATESMAN seems to regard IL
as specially remarkable that Gen. Steed-
man, in his remarks before the Toledo
Board of Trade, should have taken the
ground that the right of voting should be
accorded to the gallant colored soldiers,
whose heroism and sacrifices have contrib
uted so much towards protecting the white
mans ballot. The Democracy OF that jour-
nal seems to be of a very peculiar stripe
1t takes no cogniZance Of personal merit,
whatever. A man may be as intelligent,
as virtuous and patriotic as the best citizen
yet, all these qualities amount tonothing,
If his skin is not of the right hue. "Men
who have proved true in camp, on picket
and on the field of battle" it would not
trust at the polls beside the most Ignorant,
vicious and untrustworthy white-faced
creature in the country.
We sincerely doubt whether the Demo-
cratic party of Ohio will see fit to plant it
self against the proposition set forth In
Gen. Steedman's remarks.-Toledo Blade.
The STATESMAN is not aware that it ex-
pressed the opinion that Gen. STEEDMAN's
advocacy of the extension of suffrage to the
colored men who had fought in this War
was specially remarkable" 1t gave the
remarks of the General touching this sub
iect as reported by The Blade and charac-
terized them as a bid for the nomination to
the office of Governor by the Administra-
tion Convention that is to meet in this city
on the 2lst ofJune We are glad to see that
The Blade resolutely unfurls the Negro Suf-
frage banner, and we hope its party on the
a1st of June will not hesitate to do likewise

Is the Conclusion an Improper
Onec

Malignants have said that because Presi-
dent LINCOLN was inclined to be too forgiv-
ing to the leaders in the Rebellion, it was
His pleasure that his earthly existence
should come to an end. Chief Justice
CHASE, in late letter to Rev. Mr.. TILToN,
gave it as his opinion that it is "a great ma
tional duty'' to grant "to the freedmen of
the South the right of self-protection by
ballot" ana that he had had an interview
with President LINCOLN on the morning of
the night in which he was assassinated,
touching this subject, and he found
him nearer right, according to his
(Mr. CHAsE's) "views of right, on that
last day of his life, than on any other day
before.n III the information that the Wash
ington special to The Ne,o York Tribune has
given to the public is not incorrect, Presi-
dent JOHNSON is not right on this subject,
according to the Chief Justices "views of
right" Now, ifDivinity had not sufficient
confidence in President LINCOLN to proper
Iy settle affairs with the South, and consid-
cred Vice President JOHNSON the proper
man to do it, is there any impropriety in
coming to the conclusion that He does not
deem it of vital importance to have the
privilege of suffrage conferred on the col
ored men at this time?

The Estimate in Which sherman
il Held hY his Officer and Men.

When the echoes of Secretary STANTON
were engaged in writing General SHERMAN
down because of his treaty with General
JOHNSTON, they alleged that when his offi-
GERS and men became acquainted with the
nature of that treaty, they were wrought
up to high pitch of Indignation. This
indignation is working out peculiarly. A
special to The Neoo York Tribune states that
the officers of SHERMAN's army demand
STANToN's removal, and that the rank and
file proposed, on the occasion of the grand
review at Washington City, to testify the
great contempt in which they hold Secre-
tary STANTON for his outrageous conduct
toward their brave and patriotic command
er. If these men, who have done their duty
SO bravely, had-felt that General SHERMAN
in his treaty with General JOHNSTON had
informally concluded dishonorable peace,
they would not be so particular to demand
the removal of Secretary STANTON or to
bestow upon him demonstrations attesting
intense displeasure.

The Madness Of south Carolina.

One would have thought that the terrible
and destroying march of Sherman across
the State OF South Carolina, cutting across
it a swath of desolation, fire and famine
forty miles wide, would have restored that
State to its senses and taught it the folly OF
further resistance. But South Carolina is
mad with madness which not even that
bitter medicine has removed. First in the
wild insanity of secession, it is the last TO
abandon it.-CleUeldnd Leader.
This does not, we confess, argue very
strongly in favor of the cruelties of War as
a promoter of Union feelings. Fire and
famine and the sword have, according to
.his Administration authority, failed to re-
generate South Carolina. Is it likely that
liberal use of hemp would be more eflica-
cious?

"LoyaI Negroes Not Allowed to

The country has been telegraphed: ut
has transpired that the forthcoming Presi-
Dental Proclamation will not permit Loyal
Negroes to vote!"
Should this statement prove true, it will
encourage large portion of our people to
hope that President JoHNsoN's proposed
policy of Pacifcation will not be so objec-
tionable as they were led to fear it would
be. The President maintains that no State
has been out of the Union, and If he shall
refuse to give support to negro suffrage,
the Radicals are beaten on two points, the
latter of which they hold to be primary
point.

CAUTION FROM THE

II having come to our knowledge that limitations
of the American Watch have been put upo til
market in great number, calculated by their utter
worthlessness to iDjure the reputation of our gems
uine products to protect our interests and the
public from imposition, we again Publish the
trade marks by which our Watches may ayinvariably
be known. .t' a'
We manufacture four styles Of Watches.
The FIRST has the name .9tG. sis

All the above styles have the name American

The FOURTH bas the name , .,... p, .tg-

All the above described Watches are made Of va
rious Sizes and are sold in gold or silver cases. as
may be required. fsfUa- ,4a
It's hardly possible for us to accurately describe
the numerous limitations to which We have alluded,
They are usually inscribed with names so nearly apt
preaching our own as to escape the observation Of
the unaccustemed buyer. Some are represented as
made by the Union Watch Co.. Of Boston. Mass"
no such Company existing. Some are named the
Soldiers Watch" tobesold as our Fourth or VIM.
Ellery style, usually known as the Soldiers
Watch" Others nre named tho Appleton Watch
Co." others the "P. s. BARLEY" instead Of our
"P. s. Bartlett;" besides many varieties named in
such manner as 10 convey the idea that they are
the veritable productions of the American Watch
Company.
We alsocaution the public. and particularly SOL
diers against buying certain articles CALLED watch
es, so freely advertised in illustrated papers as
Army Watches" Officers Watches" Magic
Time Observers" "Arcana Watohes." &c. the
prices of which are stated to be from seven TO six
teen dollars. good watch, in these times, cannot
be afforded for any such money.
A little attention on the part Of buyers will pro-
tect them from gross imposition. - .,e

far As can be learned. JEFF Davis will be

Why not Turn the Experience of
Others 10 AccOuns?

Dreadful tortures and wholesale execu-
tions in England did not reconcile the Sax
ons to the Norman Rule. For assassinations
they were no intimidation. The vengeance
of the Saxons was only abated toward their
enemies, when, after three generations, the
Normans RELAXED the rtgor Of their rule.
We submit whether this piece of history
might not be profitably studied by those
who insist, that the Pacifcation of the
South is to be promoted by confiscations,
tortures, disfranchisements and wholesale
executions. It took the Normans three
generations to learn that people can not
be conciliated and induced to be well affect
ed toward Government by cruelty. Why
not turn their experience to account?

PrOOrpSS.

The LeauenuOrth Conservative says:
The Republican party can never be true
to its teaching, true to the nation, true to
its great dead leader, unless it follow its
doctrines to their logical, necessary result
negro suffrage. However distasteful it
may be, however reluctant to meet it face
to face however deep-seated the prejudice,
the question now comes up, and in a manner
that admits of no cajolery, no indefinite
postponement demands that we accept the
conclusions that reason, experience, hu-
manity and God have forced upon us. Any
attempt to dodge, to hesitate, in the light OF
the past, is crime. The blood and treas
ure that have been spent will have been
spent in vain, if we do not proclaim" and
qire "liberty to all in the land"

Notes Of all the denominations named will be
promptly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions.
The Notes of this Third Series are precisely SINH
lar in fol m and privileges to the Sefen-Thires al
ready sold, except that the Government reserves to
itself the option of paying interest in gold coin at
per cent instead of 3-lOths in currency. Sub
scribers will deduct the interest in currency upto
July 18th, at the time when they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series of
the Seven-thirtcs will commence the lstof June,
and will be made promptly and continuously after
that date.
The slight change made in the conditions of this
THIRD SERIES affects only the matte of interest.
The payment in gold, if made, will be equivalent to
the currency interest of the higherlato.
The return to specie payments, in the event of
which only will the option to pay interest in Gold be
avaed of. would so reduce and equalize prices that
purchases made with six per cent in gold would be
fully equal to those made with seven and three,
