With his accustomed readiness to answer

citizenship of all our countrylnen should
be retained. Itmay not be essential: bnt

wisely interviewer the Civil Rights bill
into her own code. Other States are
to follow. Let us have an end
OF all controversy concerning iiiggers and
their rights, so as to be ready to 90

they must go hungry and ragged if
they steal, they must be punished-not
as negroes, but as men. If they have

Wade RecOnstructIon.

1t is worthy Of notice that Senator Ben
Wade, in his speech in favor of unrcstrict
cd negro suffrage, openly and plainly de
clared that he would keep the Southern
States out of the Union until they gave the
right of suffrage to the negro, by the Leg
islaturcs or by the Constitutional Amend
mcnt,. or on the same principle that the
President and certain Senators did a good
many other things, just as tho President
compelled them to adopt the Constitutional
Amendment and ,cpudiatc the rebel debt
There was as much right to do one as the
other"
| This is, doubtless, the plan of the radi
Gals And regardless Of consequences they
will do all in their power to keep those
out of Congress and out Of the Union, un.
til their scheme can be accomplished. Theil
own avowals fully justify the assertion that
nothing can save our country from disorder
and countless other evils, but the utter pros
tration Of n party so bent on mischief. The
people, everywhere, warned by the history
Of the past, and admonshcd by the as
founding developments at the present,
ought to rise up at once, and demand that
IL stop shall be put to the folly and wicked
ness Of the dominant party.-pGm Dcalcr.

The vi,inipy rerpetrntcd.

TIC lower House of Congress has passed
the bill striking the word white from all
laws passed for the District Of Columbia,
aud giving negroes unrestricted right TO
vote, hold Office, &C. Efforts were made
to have the I'LL amended so as to require
the negroes to read; but this was voted
down, and the bill passed |y vote Of nc
10 SO.
The negroes cnfranchised by this ill are
chiefly of the lowest order of intellect and
the least cultivation They are mostly from
the rice swamp. and cotton plantations,
and were filthy ana ignorant camp fol-
lowers of the army. They have been ly-
ing about Washington in illeness and
dirt, and subsisting on the bounty of the
Government, the hanl Of charity and the
reward Of theft.
This outrage was unLlushingly committed
in the face of an almost unanimous express
sion ofthe people against it. Avote of the
citizens was recently taken on the question,
which stood So for negro suffrage to nearly
1000 against it, Bat it is violation of the
sentiments and wishes of the people all over
the country.
We expected the nfany to be rcrpctra-
ted and that Judge vTelker, from this
district would support it. We charged him
with being a ncgro-cqualityist when can
didatc for election, which at the time was
denied by his friends. 1t is a satisfaction to
know that his infamous records now made,
and that there will be no dodging hereafter.
Many voted for him believing that he would
not be guilty Of such an outrage upon the
white race. We sympathisc for them, and
hope that since the party is placed upon the
wash their hands Of it and hereafter vote
with white mcn.

The Outrage Perpetrated.

SO far as the House Representative at
| Washington is concerned, the Negro Suf-
| fragc abomnaton has been unblushingly
committed. Rejecting the proposed amend
mcnt requiring the negroes to be able to
read and all other notifications of the bill,
it was passed by vote Of llG to SO. I'm
able to extend the right of suffrage to the
same extent, in any State or Territory in

they knew to be the sentiments and wishes
Of an overwhelming majority of their con
sttucntS, those one hundred and sixteen
men, acting upon the assertion of Ben.

word white" from all municipal and con
grcssional cnactmcnts of the District, and
'at one fell swoop" to reduce the white
men of that most unfortunate spot of earth
to political level with the unmitigatcd
African! Everybody knows that the very
lowest and most degraded of the negroes
from the Southern Statcs-the droncs and
camp p-tollowcrs, who have, for obvious rca
sons, made Washington their city Of refuge,
constitute a large majority of the colorcd
people of the place. They are from the rice
swamps and cotton plantations of the South,
where ignorance and degradations have beer
necessities. But, maddencd by the restraint.

4 for the evil,
We are by no means disappointed at thi
result, On the contrary we derive sort o
melancholy satisfaction from the fact tina
the so called republicans have at last define,
their position on the question of Negro Sut
fragc, so that hereafter there will be NJ
dotg,ng of the issue. The people will nov
know Just where to find them, and exactl
what they are driving at. At the next tria
of strcngh in Ohio, they will find it difficult
if not impossible, to deceive the people an,
obtain their votes by false pretenses. An,

be fairly made up; and the intelligence o

A Contested Seat in Congress.

Hon. A. &. Baldwin, Democratic mem
Der of the last House, contests for the seat
of Hon. II. Il. Trowbridge, in the present
Congress, from the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict of Michigan. The case turns upon
the consttutionality of soldicr-voting law,
passed by the Michigan Legislature in the
winter of 1864. 1t is not disputed that MIR.
Baldwin received ma. ority of l25 of the
home vote. 1t is also admitted that this
ma jorty was more than overcome by the
votes of several hundred soldiers who sent
their votes home from the field.
The precise point Of constitutionality in
volvcd is, whether any person had any right
to vote for any Office to be filled by the cleo
tors of the State of Michigan, unless the
vote was cast in the township or ward where
the voters resided. This point has been
decided BY the Supreme Court of Michigan
already in similar case, arising under the
same act of the Michigan Legislature. The
Supreme Court decided the act of 1864, Civ
ing soldiers the right to vote out of the
State, to be unconstitutional. There was
but one dissenting vote in this decision
though all the Supreme Court Judges wer,
Republicans.
Mr.. Dawes, the experienced chairman o
the Committee ON Elections, who has 81
frequently upheld the sound opinion of tn
over riding force of State Institutions a
"organic law" and of the dutyof the Hous
of Representatives to regard its behests, in
terprcted by the highest State judicial au
thority, as decisive can hardly fail in thi
instance to ask the majority of the House t.
reduce its superfluous strength by one, an,
restore to his rightful seat one Of the mos
useful and hard-working members Of tn
minority. - World.
