THE QUESTION OF NEGRO SUFFRAGE IL WASHING
TON.
WASHINGTON, December 21.-1n accordance
with the resolution of the city authorities, the
question as to negro suffrage was submitted t.
the citizens of Washington to-day About
1000 votes We're recorded against it, and only
about thirty-tlve in favor Of thus extendin:
the franchise.
It is said that the friends of the measur,
who abstained from the polls are obtaining
signatures to a petition, to be presented t.
Congress, preferring this mode, rather than thu
ballot, of expressing their wishes We STATED
several days since that this was the cours
recommended to, and by, the radicals
NEW SENATOR sUsTAISs THE PR EsIDENT.
Very unexpectedly 10 the radicals, MI Stew
art, one of the new Senator'S from Nevada
made 4 speech to-day in favor OF the genera
policy Of the President.
GOOD SIGNS.
tits good sign in that the radicals hav
lost temper Accordingly, when Mr.. Ray
mond spoke to-day, Schenck, Bingham, ant
one or two other malignants, violated tn
cOurt ever extended on the occasion of tn
first effort of a new member by interruption
every three or four sentences. Twas told b.
gallery that Mr.. Raymond's effort wa
strong that his &nterragators were not abb
70 break the thread of his argument az disturb
. his temper though the provocation was eXces
siye, nor catch him in any snare set by the tor
| mentors.
BEING AN EDITOR, HE WAS POSTED.
1t was freely said by experienced observer
and writers that almost any new membe
would have sunk under the storm that wa
lot loose upon Raymond. He has, however
as editor, been far more thoroughly poste'
upon politics in Southern or all aspects thar
his opponents, and having had a training as.
politician, writer, debater and speaker in tn
Assembly at Albany, was not to be easll
overmatched or Mastsred.
THE SPEAKER AGAINST HIN.
Mr. Colfax was very active upon the floor
engaged apparently, in stimulating the pro
scriptive faction. His course i'll this regard i
: unprecedented.
THE MILITARY IN THE SOUTH.
r It is stated that the House Committee o.
, Appropriations has cut down by one-half wha
has been estimated for by the appropriate de
partments. If SO, they can have no idea, !
reality, of keeping up military establishment
