Western Ira dc.

1t is undoubtedly true, that the means of
communication aud transportation between the
Atlantic coast and the great West, are alto
gether inadequate to the wants of both Sec
tions. Immense quantities of produce are ac-
cumulating at the centres Of lake trade, from
the want OF the means of iransp oraion to mar
ket, and also for return freiShs. But the war
has made such heavy draughts upon the capital
and industry of the country that trade has out
run the means OF transportation. And even
now the war is over, capitalists ird the expense
of all public works so largely increased, they
are slow to engage in new enterprises of public
improvement.
There is another reason that has good deal
OF potency. 1t is uncertain as ye, what are to
be he changes in the industrial agencies Of the
country, consequent upon the great revolution
in the southern half of the Union. That sec
ton is not only the great cotton field of the Uni
ted States, but capable also OF producing large
ly other articles for consumption or trade. Nu-
merous rivers run across that section, and rem
der access 10 markets comparatively easy Lands

JOHN STUART MILL FOR NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
Mr.. Mill the celebrated economist, has written
letter to Judge Dickson of Ohio, in which he
gives his views of the question now most agi-
tated III this country. He says -
"If it were not for your state institutions, the
case would not be so pressing; for those who
have made them free could keep Them so. But
once the war power laid down, and the regular
course of state government restored, what is To
prevent stste Legislature, chosen by their enc
mics, from making laws under which, unless
they resist by force they will have as little the
control cf their own actions, as little protection
for life honor and property, WILL in short be
except in few of the outward incidents OF sla.
very, almost as much slaves as before.
"a censorship will have TO he exercised over
all the acts, both legislative and administrative,
Of the state governments; the federal author
tiles will by military coercion, prevent or set
aside all proceedings calculated to Interfere
with that equality of civil rights which they are
bound by every consideration, both of duty and
of interest, to secure to the freed race. And
this military dictatorship will have to be con-
tinued for very great length OF time for il is
speaking within bounds to say that two gener-
aiions must elupse before the habits and feel
ings engendered by slavery give place to new
ones-belore the stain which the position oil

Does the constitution then delegate to the
States exclusive power over the elective fran
chiseP If there is any such delegation of pow
er to the States it is contained in the second or
fourth sections Of the first article of the consli-
tuition. The second section reads as follows
"The electors in each State shall have the qua
ihcations requisite for electors of the numerous
branch of the State legislature" This only
settles the question that the laws OF suffrage for
representatives to Congress and to the State
legislatures shall be uniform. 1t does not de-
termine by whom these laws shall be made.
The fourth section reads The times, places,
and manner Of holding elections for senators
and representatives shall be prescribed in each
State by the Legislature thereof, but the Con
gress may at any time by law make or alter
such regulations" Here the existence of the
reserved power Of Congress over the whole sub
ject is distinctly recognized The obvious de.
sign and import of the language employed is
TINS: In the absence Of any legislation on the
part OF Congress the States the nselves shall
regulate the elective franchise. But If circum.
stances ever arise demanding the interference OF
congress in order to realize the great ends for
which the constitution was framed, or carry out
its provisions the reserved right is in its hands
it may by law make or alter any regulations
Of the local Legislatures, and to its decision the
States must bow as the paramount law.
This power we now invoke. Let Congres,
then, at its next session. meet this question
boldly and assume the grave responSibilite,
which the constitution imposes upon it. Let
members not be satisfied with any temporar,
expedients to meet the present emergenc,
which shall leave the vital question yet unset.

How the CricISets Brought Good Fortune,

NV friend Jacques went into bakers shop
one day to buy a little cake which he had fam

whose appetite was gone, and who could be
coaxed to eat only by amusing him. He tho't
that such pretty loaf might tempt even tine

THY CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES
Some white men of this city were heard COM
planning the other day, that, owing TO the large
influx Of colored labor, they were unable TO
procure employment themselves. This is cer-
tainly an evidence that the colored man is able
to take care of himself, perhaps better able to
do SO than the white men who are complaining
of his presence. 1t is a remarkable fact that
here in Alexandria, where the colored popua-
iion will reach between five and eight thousand,
not a pauper can be found among them. II
they have poor and INDECENT among them
those who, by reason OF age or misfortune are
unahleto take care Of themselves, they are pro-
vided for by their own friends. While white
persons, both male and female, are daily seen
upon our streets begging, We have never heard
OF, much less seen, colored person asking for
aims. In almost every section of the State the
government is daily issuing raions TO the poor
aud needy, but so far as We have been able 10
learn, two rations are issued to white where one
is issued to colored persons. These facts speak
volumes in favor Of the negros ability 10 not
only take care of himself, but to provide for
others.-Alerandria Journal.

Taxation of Cnitcd States Bond-.

II mas ueea characteristic of isome political
organizations TO adopt any article into their
creed which can be made popular, regardless OF
its moral character Taxation of the national

the attention of the po Irer taxpayers with some
show Of fairness. To the farmer or lahoring
man who sees that his neighbor has invested
all his cash capital in seven-thirtes, and thus
is now Fl ee from taxation, while he on the con
trary feels the burden somewhat severely, il
seems a hard thing, when looked at from one
point of view alone. The opposition is aufully
