AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 6. = Horace
Greeley has written letter to Gov.
Perry, in which he says the true basis
of settlement of our national diff
ealties is universal amnesty with i'm.
partial suffrage. He would have all
disabilities on account of rebellion or
color totally abolished, and trusts that
such basis of settlement will be fixed
upon in Washington this winter. The
response of Gov. Perry says the south
ern people will never consent to i'm
partial suffrage, as it would degrade
the right of suffrage, and demeralize
the government and society to allow
the blacks to vote The Governor
thinks a compromise to enfranchise
negroes who could read and write and
had property qualifications, without
disfranchising white persons, might
with reason and propriety be acceded
to by the southern States.
