Impartial suffrage.

The Columbus CO., Crisis thus notices
the foolish cant about impartial suffrage.
1t says:
"'Impartial suffrage is monstrous
humbug-it is a slang phrase of dema-
gogues, fanatics and political mounte-
banks. Impartial suffrage in Massachu-
setts is a humbug. A negro who can
humble few words of the Constitution
can vote, while an intelligent white man,
unable to read because of the misfor-
tunes of his youth or the poverty of his
parents, is disfranchised. The New En-
gland standard of education is a humbdg.
The mere reading and writing, unaccom-
panied with common sense, honor and the
sense of dignity as citizen and man, is
not such an education as should be made
qualification. The Barons, who wrung
the Magma Charta from the tyrant John,
could neither read nor write; and thous-
ands of the pioneers who redeemed the
West from its native savages and barren
wildness, and trained it into garden,
could neither read nor write. To dis
franchise such men, and enfranchise ne
groes, would be a monstrous villainy.-
The South will not adopt this humbug
under any circumstances. A people who
have shown such devotion to their princi-
Piles can not be bribed into self. .abase-
ment."

Much Dry About Wool.

The manufacturers. of woolen fabrics
are coming to grief. A number of wool
en- mills in Massachusetts, have suspend
ed operations, and it is understood that
the large factories at Cohoes,in New York
will stop running soon. The. reason al
legged for this course is the decline in the
prices of cloths, the present price being
about the same as that of the raw weol,
thus returning the manufacturer no pay
for his labor. While the general public
are not in the mood to weep over the
temporary misfortune Of the manufactu-
.ers who have amassed fortunes at the ex-
pense of the consumers ,,it has some curl
osity to explain the cause of this apparent
anamoly. It is the old story Of men dab
bling In what they know nothing about.
Congress, in its frenzy for the protection
Of home industry, laid heavy tariff on
imported cloths, and then proceeded to
impose a high tariff upon foreign wool,
the result Of which was, that while the
manufacturers were benefited by the for
mer, they suffered by, the latter. The
uool-grovers, however, complained thai
their interests we're not sufficiently pro-
tected, and, accordingly, obtained the
passage through the House, at its las
session, of bill imposing an increased
tariff upon foreign wool, which bill how
ever, failed to pass the Senate, but prob
ably will 60 through during the comm!
session. The general provisions of this
bill may be stated thus: Foreign wool is
divided into three classes, viz, clothing
combing, and carpet wools; upon the frs
aHo . duty is levied of ten cents pound
-sad ten per cent. ad ua1orens, if they ar
sot valued at over thirty-two cents
pssnd; but if valued at more than that
lhe dCty is to be twelve cents a pound ,an'
ten per cent. ad valorem. The duty o.
che third class was fixed at three cents
ponnd on WOOL worth twelve cents an
less pound, and six cents pound j

valued at more than twelve cents. A fur
ther provision was added that the duty
upon wool of the first two classes should
be doubled if imported washed, and treb
led if imported secured. Advantageous
to the wool growers as this bill is design
ed to be, it will prove ruiuous to the man
ufacturers, aud thus both parties will be
the lesser, for the high price of wool will
be no benefit to the grower so long as the
market is closed against him by reason of
this price.
There is another aspect of this subject
which the would-be political economists
of Congress appear to have forgotten
So long as the Southern States are de-
barred from their rights and privileges as
members of the Union, the uncertainty
of their future conditions will prevent
them from developing the resources at
their command. They are impoverished
and need help and encouragement. But
what inducement have they to labor to
retrieve their losses SO long as their local
institutions are liable 70 be overturned
by capricious Congress, and their State
organizations are likely to be replaced by
Territoriel Governments as duly recog-
nized by the Federal Government? Were
the South ern States admitted to full men,
bership of the Union, field for enter
prise would be opened at once, and the
market for Northern manufactures ST.
multaneously increased. This is some
thing for commercial men to reflect upon,
ere they set to work to increase the tariff.

Monroe and Holmes.

Brother Hubbard, of the Marisn DEM
ocrat, goes off in the following style on
Monroe and Holmes:
Monroe county gave Democratic ma
jority of 1779. 1t ought to have been
precisely 1776, for it is favored with the
patriotism of that glorious era. God
bless Monroe! She is worthy of the
Virginia statesman whose name she bears.
We used to sing with slight improve
ment on John Howard Payne
"Holmesl Holmes! Sweet, Sweet Holmes!
';There is no place like Holmesi There is
no Place like Holmes!"
{ 9But Monroe county now divides our
affections.

Heathen.

Rev. Willard Spaulding, of Salem, on
Monday evening before the election, at
Town Hall, in that city, said:
"We shall tomorrow send Butler to
Congress with an impeachment document
in one hand, and halter in the other, to
first hang President johnson, and then
next every Democrat in the United
States
That is rather heavy contract, but we
have no doubt it would afford the Beast
great pleasure still to witness the per-
formance. Commend us to a Reverend
for bloodthirstiness and malignant re-
yenge!

To PREVENT RATS FROM DAMAGING
LEATHER.-It is not uncommon to find
in factories that where the machinery is
stationary, rats gnaw the leather betting
where they can get access at it. A cor
respondent of the Scientific american
states that rats will not taste any thing
containing castor oil or what is covered
with it, and he recommends that the belt
ing be rubbed with the oil. Any leath-
er exposed to the depredations of rats
will be preserved by this remedy.

IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE.-This phrase,
which has been coined by the Radicals,
means simply this: to allow negro who
can read and write to vote, and refuse to
a white man who can not the same priv
ilege. In other words, the negro in such
case is to have superior rights to the
white man. The "impartiality" turns
out to be partially for the black race.

Great Feniam Excitement i'm New

EOrk over the news from lFe-
land.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-When at late
hour last night, the Worlds extra ap-
peared on the streets, with the exciting
news from ireland, the effect upon the
city was unequaled since the news of the
great victories of the rebellion. Places
Of amusement were thinned out by per-
sons anxious to hear and discuss the
events. Hotels and other places Of con-
gregation were thronged by anxious and
excited crowds, who freely INDUCED in
congratulations and hopeful expressions.
Fenians rushed to the meeting places of
their circles, hoping to get additional in
formation. kilograms were. sent to CIR
cles in distant cities,and instantly enthu-
siastic responses were read. Stephens,
the Head Center, was invisible, and it is
confidently believed that he reached Ire
land. 1t is said the treasury Of the Fe-
mans was never in better condition than
at this moment. The same excitement
which existed in this city last night pre-
vailed in Brooklyn. Irishmen of that
city were excited to fever heat, and con-
tinued appeals were made fer fresh dis
patches over the Atlantic Cable.

Anticipated Rising of Irishmen
ON Their Native Soil.

New York, Nov. 28.-The Worlds
Queenstown correspondent, writing Nov.
II, says: I send you to-day an inkling OF
the most important news which has come
from Ireland for many long day.
The blow is abou. to be struck atthe
power of great Britain. Within month
you will hear of the rising of the Irish
people from one end of this unfortunate
land to the other. The time has long
been laid; the arms are here; the men are
ready; the officers appointed; the organi-
zation is perfected. The movement upon
Canada was really feint, for all the
while the iobject was steadily kept in
mind to create an outbreak upon the soil
of ireland. Will this be an unreasona-
BILE outbreak If you illagain attract the
attention of the whole world to the chro
mic misgovernment of Ireland by the En-
glish people? We now suffer and are
compelled to leave our native land. A
few Of us may be killed, but we can be
no worse off after the battle is over and
Fenianism is once more crushed. En-
gland will not do anything for us by
peaceable agitation; that has been tried
Every effort made to induce the govern
ment Of Great Britain to be just to us
has utterly failed. We are .powerless;
our arguments are unheeded; our prayers
are unanswered; for our suferings, there
is no pity. Is it not better for us to try
to show the English Government that j
does not pay; and if they will not do u
justice we will make Ireland clingins
curse to her?
