NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

Our opponents in this State, of late,
have become very sensitive on the above
subject; and have mustered up courage
enough to say, in the face of their col
ored allies, that they do not mean to
agree to equal rights of that kind. If
this is only sincere in them we should
congratulate them on getting their eyes
open so far, and for their independence
in pronouncing, on one point at least,
against the dictate of the Northern law
giyers.
There is, however, strong ground to
doubt whether the virtuous Indignation
expressed by them on this point is all
real or not We are inclined to think
that very many of them will soon show
q disposition to kick out of the traces,
and that the party North will have some
thing to say yet on the subject. They
have everywhere in this State endorsed
the action of Congress, and the position
of Congress is clear beyond doubt
Congress has passed law for the gov
eminent of Territories in which it was
provided that, inveting no distinction of
color was to be regarded. A bill h:s
been passed by the House of Represen-
tatives to allow colored men to vote in
the District Of Columbia, against the
wishes of nearly all the white residents
ofthe District. This bill was voted
for by our Representative ex-Gov.
Thomas, and he has been publicly en-
dorsed by the Radicals of Carroll county.
This bill has been delayed in the Senate
because it was known it would be We
toed, and they have not yet got two
thirds vote in favor of it certain.
Again, the late Report of the Com
mittee on Reconstruction proposes to
deprive the South of representation for
their colored population, unless they
shall agree to give them the right of
suffrage. This would deprive Maryland
of one fourth of her representation in
the lower House, unless she would ex-
tend to her black population the right
of suffrage; and yet this legislation is
openly endorsed by the radical Union
party of Maryland, who at the same
time resolve that they are opposed to
negro suffrage. To show what is in
tended by the party in Congress We give
the following remarks of Senator How
ard, made but few days ago. at is
not to be disguised-the committee
have no disposition to conceal the fact
that this amendment is so drawn as
to make it the political interest of the
once slaveholding States to admit their
colored population to the right-of suf-
frage. The penalty for refusing will be
severe. They will undoubtedly lose,
and lose SO long as they shall refuse to
admit the black population to the right
of suffrage, that balance Of power in
Congress which has been SO long their
pride and their boast"

The FENIANs ASKING FOR DAMAGEs.-It is
said that some Of the Fenian prisoners, who
are citizens Of the United States and were re-
Gently acquitted in Canada. are abowt 10 petit
ton Mr.. Seward to demand damages for false
imprisonment from the Canadian government.
We do not see that our government has got
anything to do with the matter. II is the affair
entirely OF private citizens. But the Fenisns
ought by ell means 10 SUE the British govern
mcnt for damages, and, for the matter Of that,
for their cigars and brandy as we'll. We
should be delighted to see them get good
round verdict from John Bull, aud we are sure
that Mr.. Seward would have no objection.
There ought TO be enough Of the poor Irish
chambermaids' money left in the Fenian trca-
sury 10 pay the law expenses, and il the poor
fellows who were locked up in jail for six
months are Of sufficient consequence in the
estimation Of the men who bounded them on
to their dismal incarceration, to get any as
sistance from the funds II might be well APP
piled in this way. However, let John Bull be
sued for damages, no matter who pays the
lawyers.
