The Suffrage Controversy.

There are many signs that the de-
mnnd for educated suffrage is rapid
ly supplanting the wild cry for univer-
sal suffrage. John C. Fremont, in his
letter to tho colOred celebration of the
18th nt Washington, hints distinctly ut
this when he says: "You may feel as
surcd that it will give general satisfnc-
ton to learn TINT you propose to make
education your corner stone, on which
to rest the social and political standing
of your people," Governor Andrew,
i'll his letter to the same celebration,
says: For myself Tam sure that equal
rights and impartial liberty will vet be
accorded to all who own this for their
country and home. am sure that no
rule or doctrine less fundamental will
be tolerated by that grand conservative
sense always prevalent ut the last, Let
dcspOts and slaves demand despotism
or submit to it; there is logic in their
doing so; but let frccmen ucccpt no
place nor franchise as an order of priv
uege, nor permit it to another"
In Kentucky the papers opposing the
anti-slavery constitutional amendment
collect up all the violent and unrcason-
able things said by the advocates of ne
gro suffrage, and use them against
emancipation. The Louisville Journal
fears that this appeal to passion and
prejudice will have great effect.
POrson Brownlow of Tennessee de-
clarcs i'll favor of allowing the better
class ofnegrocs to vote, "on the ground
that n loyal negro is more worthy than
II disloyal white man." But he thinks
the negroes are destined to rapid OK
function. He says: ''Tho negroes, like
the lndinn tribes, will gradually be-
come extinct, having no owners to care
Tor them, and no one owning property
IN them, they Will cease to increase in
numhers, cease to be looked after and
cultivated, while educated labor will
take the place of slave labor" Idle
ness, starvation and disease will re-
move a majority ofthc negroes in this
generation"
Henry Winter Davis delivered mn cl-
oquent address in Chicago on the 4th.
He took strong grounds in favor OF
negro suffrage and tho Monroe doc
trine.
James Redpath, who has charge OF
eight colored schools, with $3.50
scholars in Charleston, says in a recent
letter: 81 see no hope of educating the
vast multitude of white adults in the
insurrectionary States, who can neither
read nor write, except by the adoption
by Congress of law restricting, while
extending, the electoral franchise to
those only, and all those, who can read
and write"

GERS belonging to that regiment, ana IN
/ that list was omitted the name of Capt.

been overlooked by the Chaplain in
arranging his pamphlet; but the mis-

names of forty-six men, to leave out
three.
1t NAV be that We are not in the

THE London Times has an interesting

THE London Times has an interesting
article on the changes which are likely
to be effected in the membership of the
House of Commons at the coming cleo
ton. a contest is expected in almost
every county and borough. In many
places there is split in. one or both OF
the parties. Candidates are rcmarka-
bly, numerous. Never before were
there Al larger class of men who ,nre
willing to subject themselves to the ex-
pense of an election and of living hall
of the year at London with no compen-
sation but thnt which they get from the
honor and from the consciousness OF
aiding their country by their counsels;
But so much money is required to carry
contested election that the number of
rich London merchants, who are
brought forward, is larger than ever
before. Before the barrister has earned
enough to enable him to enter the lists
with Il long purse, his contemporary,
who engaged i'll mercantile life, has ac-
ouired fortune, and can present him
self confidently to some one of the
waiting constituencies. The Times
says:
The knowing election agents criticise
the physical, mental and moral Qunli-
tications of applicants with the eye of
Il purchaser, and no one who does not
unite long purse and plausible
manner with local interest has much
chance of being accepted. a "strOng"
candidate is one who possesses these
virtues in perfection, and If he can
make n dashing speech, so much the
better; n ''wcak" candidate is one who
stands on political capacity alone, and
is not good for more than certain
number of hundred pounds.
That journal inIers from the tenden-
CIV of things that the mercantile and
banking class will form an increasing
element i'll the Imperial Parliament.
But it is generally conceded in Eng
land that fewer young men of
mark than usual are coming for
ward as candidates. Its theory for ex-
planning this fact is worthy of notice.
II SAYS that the brilliant scholars in the
Universities are no longer generally of
the wealthy or aristOcratic class. When
the sons of the rich and noble families
bore of the Academic honors, not only
NNlt lAAN SAStAb IsAAI AStANN ~
take them up ut once, but the young
men could afford to enter Immediately
upon political life. But now rs the
choice scholars are for the most part
sons of professional men they have their
way to make in the world, and cannot
devote their time to public life. 1t is n
striking confession for the English pa
per to make, that the sons of peers and
wealthy land-holders do not now fur
nish theirproportion of the best men at
the Universities. Itwould seem, there
fore, that either the aristocracy will find
its influence in Parliament declining,o or
the Parliament itself must decline i'll
intellectual power, orelse there must be
such change in the English system
that the brilliant professional mon of
moderate wealth can afford to become
members.

THE South Carolinians object strong
" to having their state garrisoned by
negro troops. They say they are will
ing to hire and pay the freed negroes,
but do not want to he under the sur
veilnnee of black soldiers. Gen. Hatch
has issued an order Mt Charleston de-
claring null. and void all contracts by
which the negroes agree to work out
debts that they may hereafter incur,
which Gen. ley:tch, declares system OF
peonage. The order also says: ''COn-
tracts will be simply wOrded; while ac-
knowledging the freedom of the coll
ored man, such expressions as "frced
by the acts of the military forces
of, the United States" will not be
permitted. The attempt to introduce
ANYTHING into the contract which may
haze the appearance of an intention, mt
some future day, TO contest the ques-
ton of the emancipation of the negroes
will be reported to the commander of
the sub-district, who will examine into
the antecedentS of the person making
the attempt, and report upon the case
to district headquarters" The planters
are much Disguised Mt this order, and
say there was no occasion for it. They
believe that General Hatch has been
misled by dangerous and designing
men, to keep alive the sentiment of
hostility against the State to subserve
their own purposes and obtain n new
lease of power.

Speech of the Provisional Governor o
GeOrgin.

Georgia.
Governor Johnson, of Georgia, ad-
dressed the citizens of Savannah on the
I'd inst, concluding as follows:
eve should all lay aside our animos-
tiles and meet the north again ms friends
and brothers. You need not allow
your pride to influence you against it.
Cannot individuals in private life give
up opinions when their leaders, their
prominent men, those who help form
and control public opinion, have given
up theirs? All your leaders are will
ling to give up their passions and pre-
JUDGES and go back to the Union under
which we prOspered, and in which we
had no serious calamity until we were
tempted to forsake it. That same GOV
ernment which gave us security, COM
fort mt home and respect abroad, will
still continue to afford us protection
and prosperity.
''There is, then, no renl objection to
going back to the Union. Why should
we not? Our young men wish to be
educated. Some will take to the law,
some to medicine and some to merchant
disc, to share the honOrS and aClvanta-
| ges of the Union. BY taking this course
we can open Congress to them, some of
them can become ministers, VIC can
once more be represented among the
| lnw-giVers of the nation, and Georgia
have her influence in the general Gov
ernment, and stand redeemed and re-
generated.
''There is another important consid-
Grafton. Do you want your city built
up, labor employed, capital protitably
invested? Then you must be advocates
of the Government. Unless You are.
capital, ever timid, will stay abroad:
you must give security by law to prop
crty, and become advocates of law, and
what is true of Savannah is true of
every town and city of Georgia, and OF
7 the State itself.
81 believe have spoken on all the
important points. Now arc YOU pre-
iGeorgia from her difficulties by taking
the oath of amnesty and establishing
your own government?
''Ihuve conversed with General Gill
more and the military commander in
this city. A provost judge is to be APP
; pointed in every district to administer
, the oath, give Al certified COPY to the
person taking it, and send the original
to Washington. Every opportunity is
: to be given. Come forward and do il
: yourself, and take your ncighbOr by
, the arm and induce him to do so, Pu,
yourself in the right position, and there
will be no difficulty. IfGeorgia is the
first State to return to the Union, it will
not only confirm her right to the title
of the Empire State of the South, hui
/ give herncw claims to honor and glory
a Redeem her, and State after State will
!. wheel into line. After the waste and
n ravages both armies, she will sbud
/ and blossom us the rosc.' five cuIti.
n waite further luminosity we shall become
4 hateful to others and ourselves, calam.
n ltN after calamity will come unon rs
:. and we shall live still under militnrv
o burdens. Your destiny is in your own
hands"

ton of suffrage to the educated. The
Stats Zeitung argues with the President
that the suffrage must be left to the
States, and regards period of appren-
ticeship as necessary to educate the
freedmen for their political duties.
The Philadelphia Press, one of Col.
Forney'spapers, doubts the honesty of
the attempt made to show that Mr.. Lin
coin favored the enforcement of negro
suffrage by the general government
and says:
"There is nothing clearer to our mind
than that the late Iamented president
did not favor, indeed that he sincerely
doubted the wisdom of the effort organ
lied and conducted by Mr.. Chase to in
duce Congress and the executive to in
terfere with the subject of suffrage, and
to bestow it upon the multitudes of sud
denly liberated people in the heretofore
seeded States. When we reflect how
steadily Mr.. Lincoln was urged to sane
ton and second this effort, the words
he used whenever he wrote or spoke
upon it assumed the dignity and force
ofrespectful prOtestations."

This distinguished officer has 80 disposed
his troops as to afford ample protection to
the County Of Augusta. Their continuance
in their present position will depend on the
spirit which may be manifested by the peo-
pie. The Army must be fed. Tho peo-
pie have the means of doing it. II they
wish prote stion for their families and prop
erty, they must supply their defenders with
the neccssaries of life. If these cannot be
furnished. the troops must be removed, and
the country left open to the incursions Of
the enemy An enlightened self-interest
therefore. (to say nothing Of patriotism
demands that the farmers should act with
lberality. One fifth Of their surplus will
maintain the army. Common sense would
dictate the propriety of even giving that
much to save the residue: But this is not
asked. All that is required is that they
shall sell, at moderate prices, a small part
of their crops, to ensure the safety Of their
families and ircsides.
