On a Late Loss.

Hon. JOSEPH WARNER, Of Middebury,
died very suddenly, of an affection of The
heart, as the last day of the year 1885
was closing A favor WAS asked of him
by humble neighbor, as lie stood near
the side-gate uf his bouse-yard, after tea
Of that Sabbath day. He said he would
meet him to grant it at his barn, and
scarcely ten feet within the gate, he fell,
and expired alone. Of course, q village

stay and ornament of society, felt chief
"corner stone had dropped from the WALL"
and triends,a las numerous as acquaintances,
mourned the sudden calamity. His fu-
neral, on Thursday, testified the general
respect, and, by its touching services, af-
forded something of fitting solace to pri-
vate sorrow, but to the bereaved, the best
consolation is frCm above. Such is the
sentiment Of the verses here inscribed to
the memory Of one formed by nature to
enjoy and adorn prosperity, and, as we
hope, adopted. through the grace of life,
to the use of gifts thus benefcent.
see him now, with genial heart
And smiling lip, consent,
To bless the wish the weak impart,
As with them one ne went,
With that last chance Of love to start,
And fail, for lie was spent.
How sad the Angel Of the skies
Turned backward from her wstch,
To see her own unfit to rise,
Nor heavenly aid dispatch
Nor with such shadow Of surprise
CLEAN OF light to catch.
But now It's earthly love no more
That links his soul with liie,--
The wants that chequer this dull sfro1e
And gifts Of mercy rife
But love that feels no shadow DER
The death of friend or wife.
II CLEANS anew In all her fi>ce.
And mantlcs al her form,--
A beauty Of celestial grace,
And 10y returning warm
When, but forgiven In his place,
He comes, redeemed from harm.

Presidential "orgms," of late years. are
convenient institutions, when in the shape
of Washington newspapor--they can say,
or unsay, as the exigenoy may arise, what
the President may say. that is popular, or
have umsaid, if it don't take. The Wash
ington Republican is the reported organ of
President JOHNSON, and thus sets forth
ANDY's present negro suffrage status. We
reproduce it and only simply becausc-it
is Of NOT much consequence. We copy:
Suffrage should be conferred by the
States, the right being guaranteed to each
State by the Constitution. Andrew john
son is in favor of qualified suffrage in Ten
nessee as citizen of that State. He ali-
th0riZed us, in behalf OF the Chief ENecu-
tive of the nation, to urge qualified suffrage
| for three classes of colored men of this
District, In April last, and at his suggestion
| we renewed the proposition again In July
only about one week before Congress adj
jonrned. We took special pains to notify
several Radical Senators and Representa-
| tiYes who were anxious inquirers on the
| subject that the President was in favor of
the plan proposed in the Republican. The
| Radicals We're afraid to touch the ques-
tion, and went home 10 their several States
clared that he was opposed to extending
| the right of suffrage to the black man.
ANDREW johnson is in favor of more for
the black man in Tennessee, MS n citizen of
that state; he suggested to Governor Shar-
key OF Mississippi more for the colored men
| of that State, and requested and authorized
us to urge upon Congress, at the last ses-
sion, more for theg c0l0rea men Of this Dis
| trict than Charles Sumner, or Henry Wilson,
or any other congressman of Massachusetts
ever urged for the colored men of their
State. No colOred man who fought Ia the
Union army, or who owns property, no
matter how much, can vote in Massachu-
setts unless he can read and write Presi-
dent johnson goes beyond that lie
is in favorof granting suffrage 10 all colorcd
men, whenever the Constitution gives him
the power to do it, who can read and write,
or who served honorably in the Union
army, or who owns property to the ex-
tent Of two hundred and fifty dollars aud
upward.
| l'Phe only difference between the Presi-
dent and Congress is. that the former be-
lieyes that nader the Constitution, each
State has the right to settle the question OF
suffrage for itself. Congress assumes the

General JONATHAN TARBFLI- who was q
Colonel of New York volunteers during
the war, Is how settled at Forest, Scott
County, Mississippi lie has written let
ter. undet daic of October 10. 1861 giving
his views ofthc character and capacity Of
the blacks Of the South, and the PROPOSE
ton to give them the suffrage, from which
we take the following extracts:
'Negro suffrage Is q measure Of tic most
stupendous wildness aud hunbug OF this
or any other age. MOrmonism is fifty
compared to the deprayity Of the blacks,
but to these vices, add universal tbteving
and lying, ignorance, incapacity and u
total want of moral or binding obligation.
All the talk of politicians about the ioydi
blacks aud the brdre cOlOred soldier, Is an
insult TO the truth. The blacks We're not
lOyal to the South. and it Is not true that
tho colored troops fought bravcly any
where, or on any occasion. There was no
rising on the part Of the South, though In
whole counties and districts, for hundreds
of miles, there were no males ut home; IN
fact. they were kept In subicctlon, and ~

before Port Hudson, and knew their con-
duct was poor buFlesque on soldering, As
was General Banks complimentary order
on their bravery and good conduct. All the
speeches In Congress advocating equality
between white and black soldiers, were
keenly resented by every oilicerand soldier
In the army: but none dared speak out. No
matter Shat interested officers, partiSane,
politicians and demagogues may say. the
black soldiers did not earn their rations.
Tho Union owes them nothing to lts sup
port-as soldiers. They owe debt of
gratitude TO the Government for mhntain-
ing them from i1leness and starvation.
They have not the integrity, capacity or
education for voters aud will not have for
generations. As allies Of the Radicals they
would prove worse than useless, for they
10 not possess the faculty or Instinct of
combination, and they would disclose all
party secrets to iheir secession owners.

we can imagine what from his well known
