States Senate, in the largeness of his
heart, and as late crop of those early
Free Soil principles, he says, he would
go farther even, than the plan of recon
struction agreed upon by both houses
allows him to go; that he thinks the
plan does not come up to the mark of
doing full justice to the negro.
Can it be, that after this, any sup
porter Of Mr.. Morrill,, will find it in
his heart to openly state, or slyly in
sinuate, that Judge Polandis politically
unsound? The truth is, he is an older
Republican than Mr.. Morrill,, having
been one of the earliest teachers of
Republicanism in Vermont. We have
shown that he was a Republican in
1S48. At that time, Mr.. Morrill,, as
an old Wing, probably supported Gen.
Taylor; whowas one Of the heroes OF
the Mexican war, and whose admins
tration, completed by Fillmore, passed
the fugitive slave law. 1t must be
borne in mind, that the old wing par.
ty under the leadership Of Clay and
Webster, was quite as often subservi
ent to the slave power, as was the
Democracy; whichnot until lS56,too

If the negroes were allowed to choose

choose between their former masters
or others like them and men like the
senior Senators from Massachusetts
and Ohio, which would be elected? 7
would be willing to wager well on the
success of my friends here. think it
perfectly just for US to say,"If you will
not let these people vote you shall
not alone represent them, but we will
do it jointly. We believe we have
their true interests at heart quite as
much as you; we believe we under
stand their wants quite as well, and
we are satisfied they will be more con-
tent under our joint representation
than under yours alone"
Does this amendment do justice to
the colored people of the South? Mr..
President, | am sorry to feel COMPEL
ed to say that | do not think it does.
| cannot feel satisfied with scheme
of reconstruction Of these rebel States
!, which gives no direct and immediate
, benefit to the only class of loyal peo-
: pie in them. When | remember
: how loyal and faithful these people
l ever proved; how they fed, clothed,
, concealed, and guided our prisoners
l who had escaped from rebel prisons
, and starvation how faithfully and tru-
7 ly they brought US information and
2 guided our troops and more than all,
how gallantly they fought by the Sue
!, of our men, and how nobly they yield
4 ed their lives to save the nation, | feel
b that something more direct should be
0 granted to and done for them.
t | should be much better satisfied if
the right of suffrage had been given
e at once to the more intelligent Of them
n and such as had served in our Army.
o But it is believed by wiser ones than
T, myself that this amendment will very
e soon produce Some grant of suffrage
d to them, and that the craving for pO-
1, litical power will ere long give them
II universal suffrage. Such l know to
l. be the opinion of many intelligent
s. Union men of the South with whom
g have conversed. | trust the result
d may be as they predict, and that the
d day may come when in all the nation,
lie as in my own free State, the law shall
t. make and know no difference between
n men on account of race or color. Be
y lieving that this amendment probably
d goes as far in favor Of suffrage to the
ID negro as is practicable to accomplish

The Child of saonewan Jackson.

A fair correspondent sends the Richmond
(Va.) Examiner the following delicate PEN
and-ink portrait of the only Living scion Of
the late General T. J. Jackson, She is
evidently in love with her subject:
al had recently the pleasure of seeing the
child Of Stonewall Jackson. She is bright
little cherub, about three years old, with
fair hair, blue eyes, and a complexion OF
mingled lilies and roses-the lilies, however,
greatly predominating although, perhaps,
she does not look very robust. For the
benefit of curious mothers l will describe
her dress: She wore Marie Louise blue
merino trimmed now with black velvet
ribbon, edged with white. Her little cloth
cloak was of light drab color, ornamented
with bands of silk and fancy buttons. Her
hat was of English straw, trimmed with
blue velvet and white feathers. A tippet,
and muf of ermine, completed the costume
Of the little fairy, and she looked as any
mothers darling need look. She was borne
in the arms of colored nurse of whom she
seemed very fond, and to whom she was
prattling with exuberant gaiety. The dark
eyed, sad-looking lady who followed her, in
widows cap, and garb of deepest mourning,
completed the picture of sunshine and
shadow"
The daughter of Stonewall Jackson, odds
the Examiner, may she live to perpetuate to
future generations the lineal blood of her
immortal father.

EDUCATION OF FREEDMEN IN
GEORGIA.
From the Macon Telegraph

rum tho hdCOh 1clSbl apu.I
More.than four thousand colored people,
of both sexes and all ages, are enjoying the
privilege of instruction in the schools in this
city, established since the advent of peace
by the charitable people of the North, and
under the supervision of the Rev. Mr.. II.
Eddy and Mr.. Rockwell, assisted by ten or
twelve ladies from the Northern States.
These ladies are the teachers and they are
said to evince energy, zeal, and talent in the
management Of the schools. .'-."
There are four morning schools, one in
each of the four African churches there is
one afternoon school, embracing the more
advanced pupils of the morning schools; and
there is one night school, where the freedmen
of every color, size and age, of both sexes,
meet to learn.
In the morning schools about 600 attend;
and as many as $50 sometimes attend the
night school, which indeed may be denom-
mated mixed school, on account of the het-
erogeneous character Of the pupils; for from
old men of 20 down TO the mere child, and
from the old married dame to the sprightly
yellow lass, all sizes and all ages may be
seen there.
1t is a common thing to behold the young
freedmen going to and from their schools,
Webster in hand and it is to be hoped that
by the proceedings good seed is being sown.
We must confess that we experience feel
ing of commentator for those who have left
home and all its comforts to come so far and
engage in a work so essentially of mission
airy character, and we hope that all our citi-
zens will encourage those efforts to benefit
and improve the people who are to live
among us whether We will or not, and to
whom we are to look for faithful servants.
Let us not now show ourselves unwilling to
behold the elevation, mentally and morally,
of those who were once our slaves but, on
the contrary, let us prove ourselves, to the
extent of our ability, to be the real friend of
the negro, and his best well-wisher. The
Southern people are eminently a missionary
people; let them not be so proud as to con-
denim or animadvert upon those who are
engaged in real missionary work which
thr fortunes of war have placed it ont of our
power properly to perform.

PLAN FOR CROSSING THE PLAINS IN
SAFETY.

ST.. LOUIS, Friday, March Major Gen.
eral Pope has issued general order detail
ing a plan for the safety of travellers when
crossing the Western Plains. Forts Ridgely
and Abercrombie are designated as posts Of
rendezvous for all trains from the Minnesota
for the Upper Missouri, yellow Stone, or
Block Hills and Powder River regions.
Fort Kearny is designated as the rendezvous
for trains TO Denver City or Fort Laramie,
iva the Platte River route; and Fort Riley
trains TO New Mexico and Colorado by
Smoky Hill or Arkansas River routes.
At these points all trains are to be organ
lied and equipped for defence and no train
of less than twenty wagons and thirty armed
men, under properly appointed Captain,
will be allowed TO proceed. The same ar
rangement viii be required of all trains.
Commanders Of all military posts are re-
quired TO inspect all trains and compel COM
pliance with these orders. Military escorts
will be furnished, when necessary, and, in
case of attack, render prompt assistance. No
travellers viii be permitted to cross the
Plains eccept in accordance with this plan.
The details are fully set forth in the order.

The New York Herald has started Genera
Grant as its special candidate for the Presi-
dency. If the General has any such aspira-
tions-wh;ch we do not believe--this will
efiectually defeat them. Bennett kills what
ever he touches. His great ambition for the
past twenty years, has been to get up a party
Of his own, but he has always failed, and has
only succeeded in jumping upon the train of
the successful party, after much doubtful
wriggling and duplicity, and at the very
last moment, when his endorsement was too
late to affect its credit.
If Bennett really desires to establish a
select party, and to have candidates in con-
sonance with his own reputation and princi-
pies, we would advise him to adopt the fol-
lowing ticket, and he will be sure of his
usual success.
For President-Bottled Butler.
For Vice President-Dead Duck Forney.
Butler, being blear-eyed, would take Ben
nett's view very naturally, and Forney, being
an unscrupulous editor, would chime in adj
mirably with his satanic bottle-holder.
Let the Herald take our advice, and it
may blaze away without danger of hurting
anybody, as Butler has been safely bottled
up by General Grant, and Forney, having
been already well stuffed, is in fine condition
for preservation.

Capt. J. ". Read, formerly of the 55th
Kentucky Volunteers, was fined $4,000 by a
jury in the Circuit Court of Campbell
county, Kentucky, at Alexandria, on Thurs
day, on two indictments, charging him with
preventing legal voters from voting. Being
unwilling to pay the fine, he was committed
TO Jail. Captain Read claimed to have
acted under orders from General Palmer, in
