WAsHISGroS, D. c., Dec. IS, 1866.
.Messrs. Editors Of The Free Press:
--l Equal suffrage is the all-sbsorbing
topic Of discussion among the people OF Wash
ton just now A fear that Congress might pass
law upon the subject at once, has been the
cause Of much excitement. In the Common
Council, the matter was discussed in a manner
that would have done credit to a Confederate
Congress The upshot Of the matter is that
special election IS to be held at once to obtain
the sentiments Of the people. II will not re-
quire prophet to foretell the results of such an
election. Hundreds will not go to the polls and
the vote will be Overwhelmingly against the
colored man
In the Circuit Court. we had a touch of the
old-time Southern chivalry last week-In which
Judge 0lin was called "a liar and a seoundrel"
by 9 Mr.. Bradley, who has been lawyer in this
city for several years. He was allowed to CON-
plete the case which was then on the docket,
but will be called to account for his rufhanism
Our Mayor has written long letter to the
Secretary Of the Interior, regarding tho inters
ests of the city. He gives plenty Of advice to
Mr. Harlan, and lectures Congress as though
he was pedagOgue and they the unruly urch-
ms of his flock. He gives two long weary col
umns to the market-house, while he dIsposes Of
the public schools in less than one-ffth Of the
space No doubt the former is Of vastly more
consequence to his constituents than the latter
He has not a word to say on the suffrage ques-
ton.
Gen. Banks addressed the the National Equal
Suffrage Association on Thursday evening, and
he will ably sustain the cause of the cOlored man
in the House
The recent annual report of the Chief Of PO-
lice in the city, shows that during the year
twenty-siI thousand four hundred and seventy
eight arrests were made II is sincerely to be
hoped that Congress may do something to in
crease the police force Of the District. 1t was
organized for a city Of fifty thousand people,
and numbers about one hundred and sixty men.
The population Of the city has nearly doubled.
and yet the force remains the same.

Restoration.

1t suits some of the papers, and more es
peclally the democratic papers, to assume
that the President and Mr.. Seward have set
tied for themselves and for the Country, the
Whole question of reconstruction. By the
withdrawal of the Provisional Governors
and the recognition of those elected by the
people of the Southern States, say these
journals, those States are brought fully back
into tic Union the matter Of their repre-
sentation in Congress is small affair, and
Congress will have to back down on that or
fight the President.
But it is evident that while the theory of
the President is that the rebel States were
never cut of the Union, he does not by any
means take the ground that they are now
restored to their old status. Mr.. Seward in
his letters to the new Southern Governors
says Il have the honor to tender you the
co operation Of the Government of the UNI
ted Strtes whenever it may be found neccs-
sary n efecfinq the early restoration, and
the permanent prosperity and welfare of the
State over which you have been called 10
preside.
The restoration of these States is, there
foreiore, yet to come, and in efiecting it, the
Administration can only cooperate with
Congress. And it is the duty Of Congress
not to permit such restoration except upon
clear and definite guarantees of protection
and equal rights to the freedmen, repudia-
ton OF the doctrines of State rights. of the
secession heresy, and of the rebel war debts,
and satisfactory assurance Of future loyalty,
on the part of the South.

fire at one O'Clock on Sunday morning and
the building was destroyed,-s very incon-

evening exercises in the Episcopal Church
hadto be omitted in consequence, and a gen.

sene and lamps. Loss $4,000, no insurance.

rently about 4 week old, was left at the

next found in the hall what she supposed to

was comfortably dressed What to do with
the unexpected Christmas present, was at
last accounts considerable problem in the

The Jamaica Massacre.

When the first accounts of the disturban-
ces in the island of Jamaica reached this
country, the democratic papers, and among
them the Burlington Sentinel, FASTENED to
describe it as an out break of barbarism on
the part Of the blacks, a wantOn massacre Of
the whites, and fresh proof of the incapac-
ity Of the negro for civilization. But the
truth concerning the whole of the horrible
work which has been going on in Jamaica
is coming to light, and should cover with
shame these calumr ia.ors of an unfortunate
and in this case ne in go many others, abused
and helpless race. 1t appears now that the
bloodshed in Jamaica has been almostwhOl-
ly the work, to use the language of HarPers
Weekly, "of men Of the same color as those
who perpetrated theslaughter of ST. Bartho-
lomew: who worked the guillotine and su-
pervised the September massaeres and the
Noyades Of the French Revolution who
blew Scpoys from cannon and starved pris-
oners at Andersonville-in fine, of the white
and not the black"
The simple facts of the case, as brought to
light from English official sources, appear to
10 that there was riot of the colored men
to rcsist the execution Of a warrant against
some of their number. The military were
called upon and fred into them, killing
several. The Infatuated rioters then closed
with the soldiers, and seizing their muskets,
slew some twenty Of them in turn, and tore
others in pieces. But Governor Eyre him
self admits that woman and children were |
respected. Only ono white man was subse- |
ouently killed, and the Governor farther ad
mits that there was no attempt at extending
an instruction. But panic instantly seized
the British authorities. They surrounded
with military force the settlement in which
the outbreak had occurred. summoned the
Maroons, tribe of wild mountaineers, do
scendants of the old Spanish slaves upon the
leland, and advancing upon the inhabitants
slaughtered them unfortunately.
The latest accounts through British chan
nels confirm the statement that upwards of
tBo thousand Of the negroes have been
executed, and from report made by the
officer in command it appears that many had
been put to death without trial or investiga-
ton Of any kind, there being, it is coolly ,
added, mo time for such forms - c

government investigation into these facts, q
