NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

The Springfield Republican, on able indie
pendent Republican print, lays bare in a mas
terly manner, the designs of the leaders who for
the present ignore negro suffrage. Such mem
beers Of the party as feel their seats insecure for
the next Congress are willing to let the ques-
ton have the go-by. But such men as Sumner
and Boutwell, of Massachusetts, are urging their
demands with increased impudence. The latter
SAYS ave shall demand that those States sew
orally, before they are admitted to representa-
ton on the floor of Congress, shall, By their orn
fundamental la,c, proride for the eafrancaiss-
ment Of the negro"
The longer the South is kept out of the Union,
the longer and easier the Radicals can rule (;
and nobody can doubt that they mean that the
country shall be disunited until after the next
Presidential election. The party, however,
will not be able to keep the negro subject out
of the next canvass, and they must abide the
result Stewart of Nevada has truthtully
stated that they cannot avoid the issue.

The West Virginia Election.

In the election in West Virginia, which took
place Thursday week, and the question of inte-
rest in which was the adoption or rejection Of
the Radical amendment to the Constitution dis
francbising all sympathizers with the Southern

were for the ratification of the amendment.

Whilst no philanthropist might be disposed
to find fault with the education Of the negroes,
it excites a very natural inquiry, In passing by
a negro school house, as to the fund from which
the expense is paid2 What clause Of the Con-
stitution Of the United States authorizes the
appropriation ofmoney from the National Trea-
sury for the education Of negroes
The law establishing the Freedmans Bureau

the negroes, but to educate them. This is done
whilst the children of the white soldiers are left

THE FENIANs IN CANADA.

Il is somewhat difficult, from the sensational
heads in the newspapers, to tell our readers
what is exactly the result of the Fenian enter
prise into Canada. There has certainly been
some fighting, and it is certain that there has
been some interruption of the movements, by
the United States military authorities, under the
neutrality laws.
But there is much enthusiasm on she part Of
the Fenians, and ifthey can have discrete lead
ers they may give the British forces some hot
work before long. How all this is to benefit
the people of Ireland, we are not at presentable

WILLIAM PRESCOTT SMITH.


The nomination of this gentleman as Collec-
tor Of the Third Collection District of Mary
land. Including Baltimore,l was confirmed ON
Thursday last by the Senate. No appoint
ment ever made by the President could meet
with higher degree of appreciation than that
Of Mr.. Smith.
With all the business qualifications necesss-
~ for prompt and satisfactory action, Mr.. 5.
has the innate attributes Of a gentleman-a
pleasing address and a kindness of heart which
makes him universal fayorite. The follow
ING paragraph from the Baltimore American is
a Just tribute to his character and abilities:
"William Prescott Smith, Esq, Master Of Trens-
pOrtation of the Baltimore and ONO kaiiroao,
position he has acceptably filled for many years,
SSas ON Monday nominated 10 the Senate by Pres-
dent Johnson as Collector of Internal Revenue for
Inc Third District of Maryland, in the place OF J:
Y. L. Findlay. Esq, whose nomination was rejected
by the Senate. Mr.. Smith is not, we learn. ap-
pOinted as a politician. nor for political services
but as one well qualified for the responsible and ar
duous duties Of his Office and the public will concur
with Us when we say that his appointment Is good
one, and meets very general approval There Is no
doubt that il will De promptly confirmed py the
Senate. -
Mr.. Smith some weeks ago resigned his position
as Master Of transportation of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad the resignation to take place on the
LIST Of July, proximO. That resignation was deter
mined upon before he had any prospect or indeed
any thought, of the position to which he has been
appointed Though we congratulate him on his
new Office we must also regret his severance from
the railroad for which his lsbors and abilities have
achieved much, and in connection with which his
pleasant personal characteristics and universal pop
ularity smothed many Of the rough points that will
always occur between great railway corporation
and the public"
The Baltimore Sun also says:
"Mr. Smith appointments in no wise political
one and was neither favored or opposed by any on
such grounds Indeed, it is understood to have been
accomplished without any of the usual processes Of
party ordeal in such cases, and il would be well IL
appointments for important business positions con-
neoted with the public were more generally made
in the same way. Mr.. Smith rendered his resigna-
ton to the railroad company some time since, to
take effect the LIST of July, and they will part with
him with regret, and we are assured not without,
on the part of the president and directors such for
NAL expression as becomes the occasion"

Az an early hour all the available space in the
large rooms on the east side of the Hotel Buildings

by the proprietors-was filled by an intelligent and
appreciative audience, drawn from all portions Of
the County by the promise which the know must
cal taste and talent engaged gave for most attrac-
tive and enjoyable entertainment. view OF the
assemblage alone representing the youth the beau
ty. worth and intelligence Of the community would
have amply repaid those present for their attend
ance.
The performances, comprising trenty-one pieces
for both vocal and instrumental rendering, and
which were selected with admirable judgment,
eyinced complete mastery of some Of the rarest,
most difficult and delicate attainhents in the Art Of
Music.
Where all, without exception, faultlessly succeed

make any distinctions in the merits Of the perfor-
mances BY generally expressed desire, however,

an exquisitely fine instrumental Duet, Listen TO

other repettions would have been requested butfor
the commendabe consideration Of the audience of
the severe tax they would necessarily have inflicted
upon the strength of the performers.
The substantial aid which this Concert has afford
ed the Christian Association will embslm those who
were engaged in it in "fragrant memory" as
benefactors of the community.

Death and Funeral of Lieut.. Gen.
Scott.

That venerable hero, LIEU. GENERAL WIN
FIELD ScoTT is no more. He breathed his last at
West Point, N Y, at FIVE minutes past eleven
o'clock Tuesday morning 10Th, at an ad-
vanced age of nearly eighty years. The name
asd fame of General Scott viii long live in his
tory. His brilliant and heroic achievements on
many a desperate battlefield, and the lustre he
has given to the American Military character
throughout the world, are justly appreciated by
his countrymen, who will always hold his men,
ory in grateful remembrance. Although the
event was not unexpected, his death will create
profound regret.
Gen. Scott was born June 18th, l7e6, near
Petersburg, Virginia. He was descended from
Scotch family, who were obliged to take
refuge in America after. the rebellion of l745.

and eminent civilians. 1t is estimated that a.

SION The Newark Advertiser has the subjoined
account of the solemnities:
The religious services took place in the chap
Ell, but the building was too small to admit
more than small portion of the thousands who
were present. The ceremonies within doors
were only the simple and solemn office for the
dead Of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and
were participated in by the more distinguished
of the persons present. Outside the chapel the
procession was formed in readiness, with the
grim. eaglefa faced Gen. Meade at its head. Soon
the doors were opened, and the splendid coffin
containing the honored remains of the old hero
was borne out and placed in full view on an
open catafalque of most appropriate construc-
ton. 1t was an artillery carriage with grace
fully drapped platform, the " fifth wheel lock-
ed on behind as usual, being one that had served
through Mexico in Duncan's battery. and hav-
ing the names of the battles in which it had
taken part painted upon it.

ANOTHER MoNsTROsITY.

bin TO regulate the admission Of the late rebel

Of which is to insult and degrade the Southern

power in the hands Of the Radicals.
The preamble declares that the eleven States
have forfeited all their rights under the Cons:i-
tation. and can be re-instated only through the
action Of Congress; and the whole drift Of the
measure is to dislranchise two-thirds Of the
white people. and enfranchise oil the negroes.
All male citizens above the age Of twenty-one
years who have resided one year in the State
and ten DAYS within the election district, arc to
vote.
