Negro Suffrage in tho District
of Columbia.

Under date Of January 10Th, "Mack,"
Washington Correspondent Of the Gin.
cinnali Commercial, says: g
The passage of tho District Negro Suf.
frago Bill in the House, yesterday, by o
vote of llG to 81, with but three Repub-
icans in the negative, marks the advent
Of a political revolution in exactly the
wrong place. 1t can not be regarded as
u triumph ofprincplc under democratic
form OF government, inasmuch as those
to lie mot nearly effected by it, did not
concur in it, but, on tho contrary, ex-
pressed themselves, very recently, against
it. Very few of those who voted for the
measure would advocate similar propo.
sition III there own States or districts; or,
if they did, judging from the results Of
the last State elections, nine out Of ten
would be defeated. | am decidedly Of
the opinion that, before coming here to
force the negro suffrage upon an unwill'
ing people and to enfranchise twenty
thousand colored vagrauts, who have
come to Washington 10 the rear Of our
armies, from time to time since the war,
the majority party in Congress should
have secured suffrage for tho intelligent,
cnterpaising and industrious negroes
born and bred in the Northern States,
who do not require the protecting wing
of the Frcedmeu's Bureau 10 bo thrown
between them and absolute starvation
No two measures are more irroconeilable
than those which constitute the promi,
nent features Of Congressional legislation
this winter, the Freedmen's Bureau Bill
and the colorcd franchise. In the one
the helplessness ofthe recently.emancipa
ted negroes is admitted, and in the other,
which follows so closely upon its heels,
their capacity for the exercise Of the high
est privilege Of American citizenship, is
avowed and maintained. II may be, that
to cast an Intelligent vote upon great ma,
tioual questions, a smaller degree ofmen,
tai and moral capacity is sufficient than
is requisite to oior the colored race 10
the Sonth, but those who entertain diff
ferent opinion have at least good reason
for the faith that Is in them ' "a

much poorer than it was before. And
since March, 1861, the United States
have actually consumed and blotted cut
of existence, property equal to nearly one
third Of the real and personal wealth own
ed by the Government>aud people OF the
United States, without taking into ac-
count the losses caused by the ravages of
war.
Political economists advise the l0vying
of one of the following kinds of tax, and
to exempt from taxation all other objects:
1st. Either on capital, as in Ohio.
I'd. Or on Income.
3D.. Or on Consumption--all tha. is

proceedings, notes, bills, &c , &c.
Prior to the Inauguration Of President
Lincoln, with the exception Of the sales
on public land, aua the postof6ce, the
revenue of the Federal Government,
principally accrued from an indirect tax,
called tariff, on the consumption Of i'm.
ported articles; and it was so light that
the people did not feel that q tax was
levied. But now we arc taxed on in
comes we are taxed on consumption; we
are taxed on Legal proceedings and our
rulers have copied from England the long
and detested, and justly od;ous stamp tax;
and thero-are thirty five hundred speci-
fed articles upon which there are differ.
grades Of taxation. Nor is>this all: we
are taxed three times, ut least, on every
article we wear On the leather from
which your boots are made, there is tax
before it leaves the tanner, who adds the
tax to the value of the leather, before he
sells it to the bOotmaker; and wien the
boots arc made they are taxed six per
cent. on their value, which tax is added
by the bootmaker to the price Of the boots,
which have already been taxed opce and
whom you Luy the boots, the seller is tax
ed on the profit he makes on them, which
tax is also added to the price of the boots,
and thus on tho same pair of boots, you
have been taxed three times,> which, in a
degree, explains the reason for the high
price you paid for them. But although
in the price Of the boots you paid the
tax assessed on the tanner and boOtmaker,
they also are sufferers; fog the higher
price of boots or hats, or coats, or dress.
