NEGRO SuFFRAGE.-A portion OF the
Abolition papers and leaders are zealonsly
urging that the right Of suffrage be extended
TO negroes by the United States Government
They very naturally fear that abolition rule
must soon end if white men alone are allowed
to vo,e-lhat it can be perpetuated only 10y
a class of ignorant and idle stipendiaries who
can he made to understand that in voting for
the Abolitonists they vote for their own
support in idlencss aud soth. President
johnson, it seems. does not really embrace
this new doctrine-ndeed it is reported that
he is inAexibly opposed to IT. lie believes
with Douglas that "lhis is a white mans
government, founded 10y white men, for the
benefit of white men and their posteri:v forN
ever" He claims to be q State Rights Dem.
ocrat Of the jackson school and processes a
regard for the Constitution. and that instru,
ment seems to stand in the way of any and
all Federal interference with the question of
suffrage. Section 2, article !, OF the Consll.
tuition reads as follows:
The House of ReprcseN Natives shall be COM
posed of members chosen every second year by the
people Of the several States. and the electors in
each State shall have the qualifications requisite
for electors OF the most numerous branches of the
State Legislature"
Now" saws the New Yorka World, and
it appears difficult to escape the argument
Now, if the Federal Government canno,
prescribe the qualifications for the elective
franchise in the election Of its own officers
it cannot prescribe the qualifications or the
election of the officers of State" The
President of the United States takes the same
position. He says, and all right thinking
men agree with him, that "the States, an'
not the Federal Government, must regulate
the elective franchise. - Mountain Democrat
The Placer herald., 1865-07-22

Its- President Johnson, it is said, has de.
clared himself opposed to the trial of civil.
ans by military commissions, because it is in
direct violation of the Constitution which
guarantees to every citizen charged With the
commission of crime, trial by due pro,
cess Of law. His oath of office certainly re-.
quires of him that he should not only bs op.
posed to but that he should prevent the hold.
ing Of such commissions for such unlawful
purposes. How can he claim to maintain.
protect and defend the Constitution when he
permits, within sight Of the capitol, an un.
lawful assemblage of men to Try for their
lives the socaled consprators, and by per.
hitting them to proceed with their fagiti-
tous work, the President defiles his official
robes and treats his oath of office with coni
tempt. BY permitting one of these unaw.
fu tribunals to act he sins beyond rsdsmp-
ton, and furnishes his official honor beyond
repair. 1t is his sworn duty to crush this
military commission conspiracy, and if he
fail to do it history will not hold him guilt.

Hon JonN MINOR Boris Richmond cor
respondence thus alludes to the views of Hon.
John Minor Bolts on the subject of Recon
slruction" in Virginia:
"Ilou. John Minor Bolts arrived in this
city last evening, and was welcomed 10y a
host of his old politca friends and associates.
1t was hoped he would address the people on
his arrival; but from some cause or other he
was prudenily silent. The rumor isvery prev.
aent here that he means to oppose Pierpont's
Administration, the basis of his opposition
being, it is understood, the new Governors
advocacy Of continued division of tie State.
Bolts is said to favor strongly a restoration
of the integrity of Virginia and whoever
opposes that will have to encounter his wrath.
Bouts is proyerbially great at breaking down
and in this instance, should he pursue the
policy attributed to him, his efforts will, in
all probability, be attended with more than
usual success. A the dscontented elements
will readily combine to accomplish that end;
for, besides the intrinsic popularity of the
phase Of the issue advocated by Bolts, there
exists in the peculiar composition Of the
Government and its outside appendages, a
strong incentive to vigorous action in opposi-
ton to it. Bots policy will, doubtless, be
fully developed before he leaves here; and it
may be safely said that as that policy is de-
termined, either pro or con, in regard TO the
administration Of Pierpont, will it be sue
cess or failure. Bolts friends are already
canvassng in behalf of bis election TO the
United States Senate"

Nix. DAVIS DlseursA 1t is to be /

MR. DAVIS Discuss 1t is to be hoped
that we have heard the last Of this silly
falsehood about the disguise of Mr.. Davis at
the time of his capture. 1t has now played
its prudent part, and should now be consigned
TO that charitable oblivion which sympathy
provides for so many of the weaknesses and
weaknesses Of men. The illustrated papers
have exhausted the resources of cheap engra.
wings in varying the positions Of the captive;
euerprising photographers have flooded the
country with highly colored and extremely
imaginative representations of the exciting
scene; dignihed Chadbands have beamed
over with bandes. smiles while ravshing
orthodox audisnres with en'icng particulars,
and the manned and medling genius who does
the machine wit for the Louisville Journal
reves in exuberent bon mots over story so
admirably in unison with bis delicate and
discriminating taste.
Unfortunately for the point of these pro
duclions Of pen and pencil, the official report
of the capture of Mr.. Davis has been made,
and the commandant of the party who effect
ed the capture, has in person, given his
account Of the details 10 the worthy function
arv whose name was invoked to father the
original faIsehood, and not word is said
about petticoats
Colonel Prltchard presents waterproof
cloak and shawl to Mr.. Secretary Stanton,
and informs him that he was told by his
soldDs ;hat Mr.. Davis had these things on.
For lis own part, be did not see him in any
disguise?
The hoop skirts, the volumnous pet'icoats,
the handkerchief lied around the head TO
conceal the features all turn out to he simple
lies, invented for effect and coolly discarded
when they had served their dirty turn.
AS everything has been made out OF them
that could have been contemplated by those
who originated them, and everybody has
profited by them who had purpose to
serve rom the seller Of bawdy pictures up
wards, we beg in the name OF decenry, that
the miserable forgery be now nailed to the
counter, and new sensation vouchsafed.-

Mr.. Lincoln. lie assures us, had expressed
himself as opposed to this "oligarchy. before

not "enlighteued." and there is Imminent
danger that he will break all the abolition
urockery, which Mr.. Sumner has been collect
ing together for the past four years, 10y his
stupid laundering. OF course the pious soul
of Sumner is greatly moved therea', and so
he falls hack upon his Greek, and hurls

For four years past there have been thres
classes those in the North who sought to

latter who, in a blind and foolish effort 10
escape such doom, sought to establish
Southern Confederacy,' and those, both in

PoLI1Ics IN YuBA COUNTY. A correspon-
dent of the Grass Valley National, writing
from Marysville, under date of the 18th inst
says:-
The anti negro suffrage party will hold a
mass convention at Browns Valley on the
22nd. The Lincoln men from the country
sent to the city yesterday call signed by
three hundred names. In two hours forty
of the most prominent Lincoln men in the
city signed their names to the call, and men
are actually engaged in circulating the call
fpr signatures. AT some precincts two.
thirds of the Union voters are putting thor
names to the papers. Now, as we are on
the outside, let us calculate the chances of
success. Last year, the majority in Yuba
was five hundred and twenty-five, then there
were two companies Of volunteers recruited
in MarysvilIe, detained here for some time to
secure the vote, say one hundred and fifty
voters; then there were at least one hundred
and fifty voted for Lincoln through policy,
or coercion of employees, as they declared
the only issue was Union or Disunion. The
termination of the war has ended that issue.
These men will under the new issues, be
against the negro elevators, which will give

RouGH ON DEGENERATE YANKEEs.-AN
OPINION BY UonAcE GREELEy.-In Il late
editorial in the Tribune, Mr.. Greeley uses
the following language:
We hear that many Of the blacks, thorough,
ly distressing their old masters place all cont
fIence in the Yankees who have recently
come among them, and will work for these
on almost any terms. We regret this; for
while many of these Yankees will Justify
that confidence, others will grossly abuse it.
specimens of the human race, and along with
these. some of the very meanest beings that
ever stood on two legs-cunuing, rapaclous
hNpucritical, ever ready to skin flint with
borrowed knife, and make (or ohers) soup
out of the pealings. This class soon become
too well known at home-.!run out" as the
phrase is-when they wander all over The
earth, snufiing and swinding, to the injury
and shame of the land that bore them and
cast them out. Now let it be generally pre-.
sumed hY the ignorant blacks of the south
that a Yankee, because Yankee, is necessarily
their friend, and this unclean brood will over
spread the South like locusts, starting schools
and prayer meetings, getting hold Of con-
fsc;ied or abandoned plantations, and hiring
aborers right and left, cutting timber here
trying out tar and turpentne there, and
growing corn, cotton, rice and sugar, which
they viii have sold at the earliest day and
run away with the proceeds, leaving the
negroes in rags and toodIess, with winter just
coming on. Trust thyset" is the very first
maxim to be impressed on HE ignorant blacks;
take n mans fair words as substantial verities,
but insist on being paid as you go.
