MERRLY.A HINT.

We ask the faUor, that each one of our
present subscribers use his influence to
get us at least ONE MORE. Our sheet is now
one of the largest in the State, and at the
commencement of the next volume we
purpose enlarging it by the addition of a
column to the page, making thirty-six col
umns altogether, which viii compel us to
incur an additional expense of at least FIVE
hundred dollars year; but we look con
fidently to an increased circulation for re-
endorsement. The price of paper is still
double what it was before the war, and our
bills and expenses have to be paid in cash: /:
The cash system has been generally adop-
ted in all kinds of business. 1t is the true
and only a0ay to do business justly. The
farmer does not trust out his wheat corn,
butter, eggs, chickens, DC, in little sums
of So, all over the County, so that the
cost of collecting sinks more than his prof
its. We make this suggestion so that
subscribers will remember to enclose two
dollars when they renew their subscrip-
tions, or write to order the paper.

SUFFRAGE IN THE DISTRICT OF CO.
LUMBIA.

Congress has passed the bill granting
the right of suffrage to every male citizen
of the District of Columbia, without re-
gard to color, excepting only those who
were engaged in the rebellion, or who have
been convicted of crimes which disqualify
them. While we heartily rejoice at the
fact that the principle of equality is to find
practical recognition at the National Cap
ital, We yet think it would have been wiser
to have adopted impartial suffrage instead
of universal suffrage. We would impose
the condition of intelligence in all cases of
enlarging the suffrage; making the knowl-
edge of reading and writing an essential
requisite. Voting is a sacred privilege,
and its safest exercise for the good of the
country is in the hands of intelligent,
thoughtful men. 1t seems to us that it
would be almost mockery to place the
ballot in the hands of the ignorant plan
tation negroes of the South; but this ex-
pertinent may prove otherwise, and we
shall watch It's results with interest, hoping
that it may demonstrate the practicability
of universal suffrage.

THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AGAIN.

A report of the action of the meeting
Of Monday evening to organize Library

columns. The Association is now fairly
organized and measures have been taken
by the Executive Committee to secure and
fit up the necessary rooms, and hearty
and liberal support from the reading men
and women of the city and vicinity is al
that is necessary to insure the establish
ment of first class Library and Reading
Room which will fully meet our wants.
The fee for membership has been placed
SO low that its privileges are within the
reach of all A thorough canvass will be
made to secure names and donations, and
no pains will be spared to place the asso-
citation on permanent basis. Let us not
do this work by halves. The enterprise
is worthy of the earnest. support of every
public-spirited citizen. 1t will furnish our
young men with a profitable place of re-
sort for their leisure hours, develop in all
classes love of reading and healthy sem
timent, encourage public enterprise, and
forward every real interest of the commu-
nifty, whether material, social or moral.
Let every one help on the good cause.

THE CzAR OF RUSSIA.

The President on Monday last presented
to Congress the reply of the Gar of Rus
sia to the resolutions of Congress on the
occasion of the failure of the attempt to
assassinate him. The Gar writes a very
graceful letter, and expresses high opin-
ion of the American people. He says the
marks of sympathy from this country
moved him sensibly; they attest once
more the sentiments that bind the Ameri-
can nation to that of Russia The two
people have no injuries to remember, but
only good relations under all circumsaan-
ces, and he hopes to see America grow in
strength and prosperity

AFTER HIM.

The resolution offered in the House last
Monday, by Mr.. ASHLEY, of Ohio, to ap-
point committee to enquire whether any
officer of the Government of the United
States has committed high crimes and
misdemeanors, is after President JOHNSON.
If it be known that the President has ac-
tually been guilty Of crimes and misde-
meanors, within the meaning of the Con-
stitution, then the appointment of such a
committee, with power to send for persons
and papers, or the adoption of such other
measures as would enable Congress TO
investigate the evidence, would be imper-
ative; but in the absence of that knowledge,
any action on the part of Congress to
hunt up evidence, would produce turbu-
lence and bad blood, and end only in fail
ure.
