The Feeling In Washington.

A gentleman of this city, who is 9
keen observer Of men and things, and
whose inclinations have always been
decidedly conservative, has recently
spent considerable time in Washington
and communicates to us much interest
ing information relative to politics in
that city. He says much uneasiness
exists in regard to the state of affairs in
the South. 1t is apparent to all reflect.
Ing and reasoning men that the spirit
of rebellion still lives, and that it is folly
to place all the political power of the
Southern States in the handsgof men
who have so recently done all in their
power to destroy the Government. The
need of black voters is felt as keenly as
was the need of black soldiers one year
ago. AT the same time the difficulties
lying in the way of negro suffrage are
fully appreciated, and the danger of
placing the black vote at the disposal
of pro-slavery traitors is not overlooked.
1t is conceded, however, on all hands,
that it is safe, eXpedient and absolutely
necessary to extend the right of suf-
frage to black men who have borne
arms in defense of the Union. While
the general acknowledgements of the
blacks may be looked upon as a point
to be gained by gradual approaches, the
immediate investment of black soldiers
with the right to vote is regarded as
both right and polite. President John
sons efforts at reconstruction are
known to be only experimental and
the employment of such radicals as Carl
Schurz to travel in the South and re-
port the state of affairs to the Govern
ment is an evidence that the President
is not disposed to rely upon the state
ments of pro-slavery politicians.

An Iowa Fair,

/ The Loyal people of iowa have q shin
ing record In the war, and they are evil
IDENTIFY determined that the end shall
crown the work. There has been in
operation for the past year or more, in
their State, an institution known as the
Soldiers Orphans Home. 1t is already
demonstrated as a practicable and noble
means of relieving and protecting the
! little ones whom in most sacred sense
the war has made the care of the State.
| The success that has been already re-
allied in the Orphans Home, at Farm
ington, comes, happily, in time to give
direction to the generous sympathies of
the people of Iowa, when this newt
able relict and remaining duty of the
great conflict presses its increasing
claims upon them. The present Home
gives shelter and parental care to one
| hundred or more of these little ones,
but has already declared its inability
| to meet the present demand. Multi
| tudes of homes has the havoc of the
war left without a protector, and in re-
spouse to call for aid an Iowa Soldiers
Orphans Home Association has been
instituted. Hon. G. G. Cole, Judge of
the Supreme Court, is President, and
Ct. M. Woodbury., of Marshalltown, is
Chairman of the Executive Committee.
In aid of the enterprise, Iowa is to unite
in mammoth Fair at Marshalltown,
on the 18th of August. The location is
near the geographical center of the
State, on the Chicago, Iowa and Nebras-
ka Railroad, now the Iowa Division of
the Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way.
FOR this forthcoming occasion the
most liberal provisions are to be made.
1t is to be a grand patriotic gathering.
A large addition to the accommoda-
tons of the place is to be made by the
generous State loan of tents and camp
bedsteads, and a town under canvas
will be improvised for the visitors to
whom the hotels can give no accommo-
dation. The soldiers of Iowa are to be
invited to be present, and throughout the
State the utmost eXertions are being put
forth to secure for the soldiers orphans
a permanently broad and adequate en-
terprise.
We make extended reference to the To-
wa Fair because the Tribune sees many
Iowa households, and would impress
upon each the claims of the soldiers or
phans. And to all, in other pats of the
Northwest, the opportunity to aid the
Iowa enterprise should and will be re-
membered. TheeXample of Iowa should
be widely initiated. All that remains
of Sanitary work has taken this shape
of caring for those tho war has sent
to us MANNED, and the helpless little
ones Of those who will not come back at
all. We have given the names above of
the officers of the iowa Fair, and all
parties desiring to aid i'm the work, have
MIR. Woodbury's address as above.

,r,,r CLAYTON County Journal profess

THE Clayton County Journal profess
es to be strong Union paper. 1t pro-
fesses to advocate the Union sentiment
of Clayton county, and is supported by
Iepx:,,scasl patronage. Itdislikes Gov.
Stone. however, and feels very much
aerricvcd that he should have been re-
nominated in the very face OF that
dislike by a vote unanimous and there
fore insulting. 1t has marked out q
course of revenge, and in pursuance OF
that course publishes such words as the
following.
"Sunnose then, the Democrats nominate for
f;nyernor n good strong man, with Union an
tecodCnts and ii is doubtful which VIII peaI.
For our part we shall care but nttic WntcB
wins provided the Democrats nomlhateaSooo
man."
This indicates we fear the extent OF
principle actuating the Journal. 1t is
quite plain that if the Democrats were
as strong as the Republicans the Jom''-
al would not be found in the reckoning
OF the Union party. But then, if in the
vicissitudes of war it should desert to
the enemy, ii is satisfaction to know
that there is not another journal in the
State which could be more conveniently
spared, or which would do moro toward
damnins the prospects of the Delnocra-
cy.

Trouble In Virginia COurts--.TGstlmOny
of Negroes Refused.
The New York Tribune, i'm it's Wash

Inc New YORK 1TtOuRe, In ltS WASH
ington special dated 2lst inst, says:
The Mayor and most of the magis-
trates of Alex:0lria, boldly declare their
determination TO adhere to the old State
law, and say that sooner than receive
the testimony of a negro in their courts
they will resign their offices.
A case in which the testimony of col
ored men was refused, recently occurred
in that city. A well to do negro was
arrested on complaint of a white man,
and when introducing, as his only wit
nesses, several colored men, was inform
ed that their dispositions would not be
heard by the Court.
On communicating this fact to the Of
ficer of the Freedmen's Bureau, station
ed in Alexandria, that gentleman i'm
mediately repaired to the court room
and moved a continuance of the trial on
the ground that under a circular from
Gen. Towards headquarters, the local
courts have no jurisdiction in such cases,
the officers of the Freedmen's Bureau
being instructed, by said circular, to adj
Indicate all difficulties arising between
negroes, or between negroes and whites.
The Justice still persisted in proceeding
with the trial. The negro defendant
not appearing in Court, in accordance
with the Instructions of the officer of
the Freedmena Bureau, the Court then
gave judgment in favor of the plaintiff,
and issued an execution for the seizure
Of property of the colored man, over
whose residence guard was at once
posted by an officer of the Freedmen's
Bureau, to prevent the civil officials
from executing the orders of the Court.
On learning the circumstances General
Howard Immediately addressed letter
to the Mayor, earnestly requesting him
to transfer all similar cases to the Off
GERS of his Bureau, in accordance with
the provisions Of circular number five
! from his headquarters. Should similar
cases occur the military authorities will
be called upon to enforce Gen. How
ards order.

"Nlgser Equality" or Southern FREEDOM
nance.

In 1860, when the ratio of representa-.
ton was about one hundred and TWEEN
ty-seven thousand, the South had, by
the three-fifths rule, the right to eigh-
teen more representatives in Congress,
and eighteen more electoral votes, than
it would have had, if only free persons
had been counted. The emancipation
of the slaves will give it twelve more
for the blacks will now no longer be
constitutional fractions, but constitu.
tional units. The three-fifths arrange.
ment was monstrous anomaly: but
the five-fifths will be worse, if negro
suffrage Ike denied. Four millions OF
free people by the mere fact of being
inhabitants of the Southern territory
confer a political power equal to thirty
members of Congress, and yet have nc
voice in their election. 1t has been
computed by the Hon. Robert Dale
Owen, i'm a paper on the subject, pub
lished in the New York Tribune, THAI
in some States, where the blacks anc
whites are about equal in number, and
where two thirds of the whites shall
"qualifyo as voters, this new condition
of things will give the Southern white
voter, in Presidential or Congressional
election, three times as much political
influence as a Northcn voter.
But this great power, welded by q
population imperfectly qualified to vote,
| in the name of a population which dc
not vote at all, "a power equivalent to
thirty members of Congress and thirty
! electoral vOtes,-will be directed aS
much against Northern interests as
against negro interests. Added to the
power which the South will derive from
its voting population, it will enable that
| 30, .,l % al l.
| votes in the House of Representatives
and, says Professor Parsons, " if they
stand together, and vote as unit, they
will need only about one sixth more to
get and hold control of our national leg
islation and all our foreign and domestic
policy Our political experience has
unfortunately not been such as to JUST.
