The Effect OF General cOx's
Letter.

The Washington correspondent Of the Co
lumbus journal, The central Republican or
gan, say that opinion is much divided in
regard to General Cox's letter He adds
"Pro.sayery Democrats and secession
sympalhisers rejoice at the recognition OF
their peculiar views by an avowed Abolition.
ist, OF course, ultra snti-slayery men differ
from him widely, and repudiate his doctrines.
IL is noticeable fact that the really Union
men from the South, who have been Tor some
time the persistent advocates OF universal sui.
irage do not agree with General Cox in his
expressions upon that question. Il His
theory OF separation OF the races is, however
generally deemed wild.
In this connection, we give an extract from
the Troy (N. " Times bitter Republican
sheet, 1t says:
"As for the blacks, they were born on ths
soil, by the grace or God, General Cox to the
contrary notwithstanding, they shall remain
there No living man has the right, nor can
acquire the right to expel them. They are
charged with no offense, and consequently
can be punished for no crime. Their birth
and residence we're in voluntary, bat whether
in voluntary or not they are entitled TO all
the privilege that birth or residence may
give,
Ave are disposed TO be lenient to General
Cox, for he was for several months with
Sherman's army, and cut of from the ordl'
nary source OF intelligence. Yet, after all,
that is not sufficient excuse for his falling
back century or more into the grave Of
exploded theories.
We further quote from the Eastern Repub-
lican papers
| The Boston Traveller is sorry to receive
such testimony as this from q Republican
General, standing 10 such prominent poliii-
cal position, and hopes that /; may be found
he is mistaken in his views. His plan is one
which, II not entirely impracticabIe, is one
for which many years would be required TO
carry into effect, and one which could not
come into full operation until the black race
has diminished greatly in number, and even
then there Is but little hope that it would be
beneficial TO the blacks, who would be thus
separated, or even prevent their ultimate ex.
tlncton, surrounded as they would be ~ a
more restless, daring and enterprising, not to
say reckless white population
With this view the Springfield Msssachu
sets Republican seems to coincide as fol
lows
"Ghe course Of General Cox is much 10 be
regretted twill probably secure his election
| for he will obtain more soldiers votes by il
than he will lose from the radical Republi
cans, But his election ON such u platform
puts the Republicans OF Ohio in false posi-
ton, and increases the embaTrassments OF the
party elsewhere. Ii Ohio can not go fol
equal suffrage what Western State can p
The New York Tribune thinks if Cox had
not written snch a letter his majority woulC
have been larger than it will be now.

A New Orleans letter to the Mobile News
says 81 am very correctly informed that
Sheridan, although at the commencement of
the of war an enemy Of Abolition and Aboli-
tionists, aud most likely negro hater by iu-
stnct, distinctly announces himself 10 favor
of negro suffrage, Journal.
The above appears in the Journal with
ont comment, and must therefore be taken
as an expression of the sentiments of the
party organ. The Journal says General
Cox is opposed to negro suffrage yet it
never fails to advocate the equality doc.
trine, when it can, by copying without
disapproval articles in its favor, and TINS
assisting time in demonstrating the "logic
OF events"

The PluCk Of the Radicals Of
the Reserve 10 be Tested.

The New York Sun, speaking of Cox 5
''Ropef proposition, as set forth in his "ver-
bose" letter, says:
"The thirteen counties comprising the
"Western Reserve of Ohio are radical to the
backbone, and Oberlin, in political sense,
governs them. These counties are always
pretty sure for not less than twenty-five thou,
sand majority for the candidates they support,
and they are all at the present time welded
to negro suffrage, 1t is therefore almost
certain that il General Cox fails to conciate
these radicals by some kind of concession,
the latter will either put candidate of their
own in nomination, and run him upon the ne.
gro suffrage platform, or else they will refuse
to support the present nominee at the polls"
II is said that demand is to be made upon
Gen. Cox to "modify" bis position if be does
not, then a new candidate is to be put in the
field against him, who will be more "explicit'
upon the subject of negro suffrage, and op
posed to the colonization plan What a
mudde our "Union" friends are in.-Plaia

EHeckS of war.

The New York Tribune, in late article,
tells some truths, which it iS well to keep be-
tere the people. 1t says;
but whether the currency shall so be ap'
preciated sooner or later, or even though it
should be fully restored to soundness to-
morrow, or had never been deprecated at all,
it is certain that living will, ior the poor, in
the average, be less easy in this country for
some years than it was before the war. We
have been destroying property to an enormous
amount, and the nation is poorer by the sum
Of its value we have for years been hiring
Tor promising to pay an average OF one mil
non men to do that which was indispensable,
but which produced no bread and butter, aud
we have thereby run in debt some three thou.
sand millions Of dollars, of which we must
pay the principal some time, and the interest
at all times.
Owe Of the cities, and especially men of
large incomes, have to shoulder the heavy
end of the load but all our people, whether
rich or poor, must help carry it, live where
they may. Hence we know and should never
fail to consider that more industry or greater
economy must henceforth be evineed by the
roor than formerly. This is the fact let rs
look it square in the face. Taking our country
through, a hundred days labor in whatever
capacity will not buy so much food and cloth
ing since the war as it did before; aud the
state of things must continue until either we
shall have paid of our National debt or until
the progress of invention and machinery shall
overbalance that debt by making American
labor in the average considerably more etfici
ent than it was in 1860.
