AIMNER ON SIEFRAGE.

fit be true, as the telegraph reports, that
the President yesterday expressed to the dele
cation of colored men who waited on him, his
apprehensions that Impartial Suffrage would
lead to a war Of races aud perhaps to the ex'
termination Of the Blacks, he bore harder on
the Whites of our country than facts will war
rant. We have entire faith that they, as well
as the Blacks, will generally obey the laws OF
the land, even though they may not entirely
approve them. Nobody imagines that the
Colorcd People will be mpelled to initiate "a
war of races" because they are enfranchiSed-
they will have no conceivable motive for so
doing-and we have that faith in men OF our
own color that fixes US in the belief that they
can obey equal and just laws as well as negroes
can. We shall not yield this faith to anything
but absolute demonstration.
The Erpress says that Mr.. Sumner "iinds
perfect government in Negro Suffrage" That
is a very unfair and essentially false state
mcnt. Mr.. Sumner finds true government
to be one ,cherdn ALL The people are fairy rePre-
scented. His authorities for this are the Declara-
ton of American Independence and nearly
every writer Of note in opposition to Olgarchy
and Despotism, from Plato down TO Mill. Is
not this the manifest TRUTH Is it not clear
that either Democracy or South Carolina is
radically wrong in the matter Of Suffrage
And if so, is it not natural that believer in re-
publicanism should hold South Carolina to be
in the wrong!
Mr.. Summers speech is an elaborate eXposl-
ton ard defense Of Democracy, or Government
by the People. If it is right to be Democrat,
then Sumner cannot be wrong If you are q
rational being you must agree with him or with
Hobbies, Sir Robert Filmcr and Louis Napoleon:
there is 10 middle ground.
Surely the ghost of Tom Paine must smile al
the spectacle of the fundamental radical truths
he taught when among us concerning the Rights
of Man being quite as thoroughly, and even
more deliberately, set forth by a representative
in Congress Of Boston-a successor OF Fisher
Amcs, Josiah Quincy and Harrison Gray OTIS.
Tom NAV have ayerted his gaze during our four
years Of struggle and carnage; but II he hears
that democracy of the most radical type Is
incucated by the leading representative OF Mas
saohusetts in our National Councils, he must
realize that our world moves, even though he
has left it, and that the spirit OF Sam Adams

1--WE pretend to no special inspiration respecting the
purposes OF the Secretary OF the Treasury
We assure our neighbor that no special nor
even general L" inspiration" is required. If you
can read with reasonable facility and average
comprehension, and have Mr.. McCailoch's Fort
Wavne Speech and Treasury Report at hand
YOU can dispense with all reconcile or super
natural interpretations. The Secretary'S ''pro-
gramme" is briefly this:
!. Whoever owes money that is overdue
should pay it so soon as he can.
9. A dollar ought to mean exactly ten silver
dimes or four quarters and be at all times con-
yertibe thcreinto at par. A false dollar-a dol
lar that was worth 20 cents yesterday. is worth
% to-day, and may be worth 60 or - to-mor-
row-may be good for spectators and currency
brokers, but is very bad for honest producers OF
wealth.
3. Whatever is wrong-in government, cur
rency, or anything else-should be made rish'
so soon as may be. 1t is neither polite, For
honest, nor safe, to perpetuate shaun dollars
a single moment longer than memorable neees-

All this seems to US but the application OF
the Ten Commandments to Finance and Cur

lochs policy. lie means 10 ntarn to Space

NAPOLEON,s SPEECH.

An American Presidents Message, once truly
remarked The Times (London,) always used to
have an exulting. strident, triumphant tone
to read as though it were set to the music OF Hail
Columbia. The French Emperor, on the con-
trary, always writes as though he felt that his
political system needed pallia,ion. He Is
eternally apologizing, pettiiogging, white-wash-
ing His new Speech from the Throne emf
nen,ly illustrates this tendency. If he were
personally on trial for having stolen the liberties
of his people and sought to hide them
where they could never be found. he would
make no other defense than that he addressed
TO his legislators on the 22d ult. He is more
mentary-to the American People. This IS
well; yet il compels us TO remember that, when
such gracious assurances would have been use
full TO us, they were withheld. He is sweet on
italy; but when be talks of 1.-THE Indispensable
maintenance Of the power Of the Holy Father"
he fails to indicate whether he means that power
over the recent Ecclesiastical States which he
has lost, or his spiritual power, or power to hold
in yassalage the one or two millions Of Italians
whom alien force holds in subsection to him
sorely against their will. He wishes Us to ac
cept his assurance that his expedition 10 Mexico
is not opposed to our interest, when We cannot
forget his former declaration that its object was
- the rehabilitation Of the Latin race in Amer
Ica-borne down by whom He tells the French
working men that they shall have meetings and
discuss "ther industrial and commercial inter
ests, outside Of politics But who author
lied him to decide that their political interests
are not also worthy Of Discussion He asserts
that with a Chamber mistress Of the fate
of Ministers, the Executive is without authority
and without spirit" what, then, is the siguiii-
canoe Of q Chamber which has no control and
no right even to initiate its own measuresl He
adudges political discussions "no longer use
full" and alleges that France is tranquil
Within" as she well may be when she is not
permitted to be otherwise. A steamboat with
fity-six over her safety-yalve, will be "tran-
Gull " for time. In short, he writes through.

SPECIAL GEGIsIATION,

Hon c. j. Folger has submitted to our State
Senate measure of simple justice TO tax
payers, which we trust will become law.
This bill proposes to tax all private bills passed
by the Legislature as follows:
Acts OF Incorporation, 500. aud one per cent on
the capital; escheat bills per cent the value Of
the lands, and claim bills five per cent. the amount
We, it is known, have no prejudice against
corporations. We esteem them neither better
nor worse than other partnerships, and often
conducive to the general wcll.ceing. Still, the
primary object ofIlost corporations is to make
money for their stockholders; and why should
the non-ncorporpted be taxed to dcfray the
expense Of creating corporations Doubtless,
one effect Of such an act as Mr.. Folger proposes
will be- 10 diminish the number OF applications
for special charters; hundreds who now seek
them contriving to organize under our general
laws where they find that they must pay for a
charter. We pray the Legislature to amend
the bill, lift needs amendment, but be sure To
pass it in tho best shape possible.

Our Albany letter gives full report OF the
caucus held on Tuesday evening, at which 1t
was determined, by the decitive vote of Ga TO
II, to give the nomination Of the Health Com
miSSionerS to the Governor No less significant
than this vote is the fact that the OppoSl-
ton. as represented by Mr.. Littlejohn,
declared that "thc caucus was not con-
vened on a party or political measure
The decision was evidently made with
that understanding, the Ga members emphatic
ally declaring, by their vote, that inasmuch as
the Health bill, as it came from the Senate, ,edS
a partisan measure, its character should be
changed at their hands. They met for the pur-
pose Of signifying their intention of dealing
with the subject in accordance with their
sense Of duty to the public. and not as poll
ticians; and that feature of the BILL therefore,
which put so important a matter into the hands
of a political clique, they throw overheard
That this view of the case is accepted by
that clique and its friends is evident enough
from the tone Of The Albany Erening Journal
which INDUCES in unSiinted abuse Of those
who are determined to defeat, if possible.
this attempt to make the Board Of
Health a mere political machine for
partisan purposes. The bill will

essential features unchanged, save in the con-

NEUTRALITY LAWS.

The Government Of the United States has just
been called upon TO enforce the provisions OF
the international law concerning neutrality, to
the disadvantage Of n nation for which the
people of this country unanimously feel the
warmest sympathy. In the war now going on
between Spain and Chill, all political parties OF
this country, without, we believe, solitary
exception of note, side with Chill. This SYM
patty, however, does not exempt our
Government from the duty to prevent,
within its jurisdiction, a violation of
the neutrality laws by Chill, no less
than by Spain. When it, therefore, became
known tina, Mr. Is. V. Mckenna, special,
though not officially accredited agent of Chill,
and Mr.. Rogers. the CHILEAN Consul at New
York, were engaged in fitting out torpedoes and
torpedo-boats TO be used by the Gillian Gov
eminent in the war with Spain, the District-At-
toney of New-York promptly intericred, and
secured the indictment and arrest of the incrm-
mated parties, who, from present indications,
will be placed on trial in few days.
The officials Of the United States. in enforcing
compliance with an international law, however
unpleasant its application in a particular case
NAV be, have been true to the traditional and
unvaryng chief principle of the foreign policy
of the United States. The honesty and eff.
cheney of our application Of the neutrality laws
has been. on former occasions, acknowledged
by the Governments of England, Spain and
Portugal. The English application of the same
laws during our late war, was less ehectual
ONLY because il was less honest.
