Negro Suffrage.

The general debate in this country up
on negro suffrage is beginning to attract
widespread attention abroad. The last
English mail contains articles from the
leading journals upon this matter, the
gist of which is summed up in the follow
ing sensible remarks of the London SIT
wday Reriew:
The numerous statements which pur-
port to prove the moral and intellectual
aptitude of the ommcipated slaves may
be dismissed as simply incredible. Phi
Lanthropists ought to understand that, if
a liberated Southern slave were really fit
to share in the government Of the repub-
lic lie would furnish an unanswerable
apology, not only for the systcmin which
he was trained, but for the slave trade on
Which the institution was originally
founded. Mr.. Wendell Phillips himself
would scarcely propose to admit heath
en- African savage to the electoral booth;
and experience has shown that neither
missionaries nor traders can make 4 per-
ccptblc impression onindigcAions barbar-
ism. The distance by which the freed
man is separated from the Ashantce meas
urcs the benefits of American slavery
and if the colorcd population is now
worthy of sovereignty, the cotton planta-
tions must have been the most efficient
schools of religion and morality which
have hitherto been established on earth.
A scrunulous conscience would feel the
urgent duty of kidnapping the remaining
population of Central Africa, to pass them
through Che process which has refined
and sublimatcd their happier kinsmen he
yond the Atlantic. 1t is not necessary to
answer moro seriously foolish women and
cffeminatc rhctoricians who affect to vim
dcate the equality or superiority of de-
graded race. There may be some anom-
alics in republican system which ex-
cludes from all share of power third OF
the Southern population; bnt wise states
men arc rather anxious for results than
studious of theoretical symmetry, and it
Is always easy to furnish sound reasons
for measures which are found to be prac-
tically incxpcdicnt."
Governor Morton, of Indiana. express
cd very much the same idea in his recent
speech, with the additional point added
that if Republicans believed freedmen fit
for political power without preparatory
educ.tion, then were all their former ar
gumcnty against slavery false, and they
were moreover guilty of gaining political
power by the most outrageous misroprc-
sentations of what must have been a civ
ilizing institution.
In truth, the advocates of universal ne
gro suffrage at the South have no argu-
ment at all. .Constitutionally they have
no right to insist upon it, and practically
it would be the extreme of folly. At the
New. York election the people will pass
upon the question. We have no fear of
the rcsult.-N. Y. World.

Exit the Colored Troops.
Under Instructions from Preside

Under instructions from President
Johnson, General Grant yesterday issued
orders to muster out of the Federal service
all that remain of the coiored troops. By
the time Congress meets there will not
be a solitary negro under arms in the
country.
This should be considered good news
North and South, as it marks an impor-
tant epoch in the history of the pacfca-
tion of the country. Apart from the un-
necessary drain upon the Federal trcasu-
ry for their maintenance, these negro
troops were source Of special social dis
turbancc at the South. Their presence
CALLED and irritatcd the whites, while they
fostered insolence and idlencss among
the freed negroes. The disbandonmcnt
of these troops will do more to pacify
the South than any other single act of
President Johnson.
After the negroes arc got rid Of there
will yet remain scvcnty-fye thousand
white troops in service. 1t is the in
tention of the President to reduce this
number to fifty thousand as soon as is
practicable.
The disbanding of the immcnse'armcs
of tie North and South within the space
of five months will be justly regarded
hereafter as ono of the marvcls of histo-
ry. In no other country than-thc United
States would it have been possible. Not
q little of the credit for this miracle justly
attaches to the wise and conciiatory pol
icy Of President Johnson.-Ne York

PREb1crIoN OF Mn. DAVIS RELEAsE.-
The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
Let me ropot prediction I gave You
n month or so ago, that tho rclca:-s of
Davis is only question Of time" From
sources of information which cannot
dispute. learn that the President has no
idea of bringing him to trial, but as soon
rs all the States arc in harmonious work
ing order with the Government, the pris-
on doors of Davis will fly open, and he
will be free man.
This, am assured, was the intention
of his Exccllcncy long before the pell-
tions from the respective States were
poured in for his release, and these, with
the action of tho Mississippi. Alabama
and South Carolina Conventions, looking
to the same end, have morc than confirm
ed the President in his belief that the
trial or further disgrace of the rebel lead
or is not demanded either for the ceuntry's
rood or the vindication of its honor.

TIE Holy LAND.-Tkerc is an inter
esting movcmcntnow being made in Eng
land for the moro thorough survey and
exploration of Palestine. Ages of civili-
zation lie beneath " the holy city," which
no proper effort: has yet been made to cx-
cavatc; and the same may be- said of a
large portion of the land cast Of the river
Jordan The most interesting regions
arc filed with mounds, Which, when fully
opened, will doubtless contribute largely
to complete Or illustrate the long and va
ried history or-thc jewish people. Enough
has already been brought to light toshow
the Importance ofsuch excavations. The
expedition now on foot will be q purely
scientific and archaeological one land it is
supported by the Archbishop of York, the
Bishop of London: and Lords Russell. and
Derby. with the patronage of the Queen.
It will be carried or by men whose tastes
and studies have peculiarly fitted them
for the work, and the result may not only
be a great service to the history of civili-
zation and art, but the reflection of much
valuable light upon the Holy Scripture.
TIE P.sRDoS Bus1SEss-Th issue of
pardons at Washington continues daily.
The President, in few days, it is believ-
/ cd, will dispose of all the acquisitions for
pardons now before him Which have been
made out at the Attorney-G Generals Office.
By the use of q stamp, with a fac-simile
signature of the President, the Warrants
OF pardon can be signed with great rapid
ity; in fact, the whole system Of consider
ing and acting on pardons has been i'm
proved, so that there will not be much de-
lay in future whenever the party is enti-
tied to receive onc. All the pardons re-
commended Governor Sharkcy for Mis-
sissippians .ha7e been granted, and were
yesterday sent to that gentleman for dis

alist Presidents have been elccted-Gen-
erals Harrison and Taylor, and MIR. Lin
coin. Each one of these died in the Pres.
idcntial Office, and the Vicc:Presidents
who succeededto the ofice in each case
was a Dcmcrat. So that, during tho
whole of these sixty five years Democrat
ic principles have been in the ascendancy.

publicans who look for the finger of God
in everything, do not see what a provi-
idcntial disponsation It is2 No Demo
