Negro suffrage.

Democratic newspapers and StumperS
have much To say about Negro Suffrage.
and they are appealing to every passion
and prejudice to divert the public mind
from real issues. While protesting To bc
the especial champions of white men, and
in favor of having this government admin
iStercd by white men for the benefit of
white men. they are endeavoring TO thrust
into Congress thirty-two rebels and traitors,
the representatives of four millions of ne
grocs. General Shank>. Union candidate
for Congress in the llth District, diSpOses
of their falschoods as follows:
For effect, they tell YOU that |. whom
they all know to have been an ardent sup

tablish universal negro suffrage AMI negro

They are i'm the interest of treason. and in

Il am in favor of the proposed amend

question of who shall vote To the States

and when he is counted that Is all they do
with INN. His late rebel master. who is
no less rebel now, does the voting. and
the result is that rebel and negro is equal

Congress has no power TO control thu

the question of negro suffrage cannot enter

The Reason why.

"Why do you pass constitutional
to keep the rebels out of Con
gress, when the Test Oath law already
does it, inquiries Thomas A. Hendricks.
Because you and all the other Congress
men of your party will repeal it il you ev-
cr find yourselves strong enoagh to do So,
and your own State Convention recon-
mended that it should be utterly disre-
garde,l.
"Why urge an amendment of the
Constitution to protect the civil rights of
Southern black and white Union men,
when the Civil Rights bill, enacted
by Congress, already provides for that
chime in chorus the whole Copperhead
press. reinforced by the Philadelphia
johnson Convention.
Because your President denounces the
Civil Rights bill as unconstitutional, and
every reconstructed Southern Judge fol-
lows his decision. We want these meas
sures in such shape that rebel sympathl
zers can not repeal, nor rebel Judges null
lify them.-Jnd. Jonr. 8a

Our neighbor very much fears that John
Reynolds, Union candidate for State Sena-
tor, will buy up Democrats tqyote for him.
Ii is true that they are i'm the market, at all
times, and on96s 04,aetimes tempted to
use for it. John is not likely to spend his
money so foolishIy. when he is certain of
being elected by an overwhelming majori-

Mr. Reynolds, believing him to be a good
man. and one who will faithfully represent
his constituents.

An Invitation to be Accepted.

Mr.. johnson has been invited to visit
New Orleans. BY all means let him ac-
cept the invitation. AS victorious Gen
eral has a desire in after years to viset the
scene of his achievements, so, naturally.
Andrew johnson must feel desire TO Wis
it the scene of the recent tragic illustration
of his ''policy"--the bloody field of his
victory over helpless and defcnceless
white men and unoffending negroes. Ii
is said he has been invited by the leading
citizens. No doubt of it; for the leading
citizens. now, are the men who but recently
came from the slaughter of Union troops
on the battle-fields of the rebellion, and
whose hands were made red with innocent
blood in the 30th of July massacre. The
leading citizens, now, are the. Thugs and
murderers; who belonged to vigilance COM
mittees before the war, and made the hunt
ing down and assassination of Union men
their business and amusement, and some of
whom owe their lives to the mistaken Glenn
ency of General Butler. The lealing citi-
zens, now, are registered enimies of the
United States. They are the men who or
ganiZe and pre-arrange assassination. Jno.

ly butchery, will ring with huzzas for the
author of my policy" and DIR. Palmer who

dictions of rebel religion. The same po-

all means let Mr.. Johnson accept the invi-
tation Let him triumph at the grave OF

TWO TRAVELLERS.

4 man passed over the road
In the early days of spring,
When the grandest flower that ever bloomed
Was brightly blossoming.
And never a word he spoke.
And his face was marble-cold,
But millions of men above him wcpt,
And million bells were TOLD.
And the cities were draped i'm black,
And the towns were wrapped in gloom.
''For he is dead, the people said.
.'.Who made the flower To- bloom"
Down many a swarthy face
Cnnumbered tear-drOps flowed.
For nc is gone"--the bondman spoke
"Who lifted our weary load
And they buildcd him tomb aaI
Afar in the silent West, Peace
And that beautiful flower which men call
Spread its leaves above his breast.

Ere the summer days were dead. Tspring
And The leaves Ofthc flower that bloomcd i'm
He tramplcd with ruthless tread.
And many word he spoke
And his arrogant face was flushed:
And he laughed aloud with the noisy crowd
When the leaves of the flower were
crushed.
But down many n swarthy face
Flowed tears of bittcrcst pain.
For ne is comc"--thc bondman spoke
TO forge our chains again.
He must seek the tomb some time
Afar i'm the silent West. TPeace
But will ever the flower which men call
Spread its leaves above his breast?

BRooKLYS AND Her VETERANS or THE LATE

this number not more than onc-third, probably,

The FEMALs CLERKS OF THE TREASURY De-
PARTsESr.-It appears that the female clerks
Of the Treasury Department are considerably
exercised over the fact that the late disiribu-
tion Of moneys to the higher grade clerks was
not extended TO them; and II further appears
that they are actively electioneering, rs they
have the right to do for little extra pay. If
their claims have been overlooked, il Is doubt
less because Congress has been absorbed in
the superior claims OF Sambo. Still, we think
that the mother, widow, or orphan daughter Of
the Union white soldier who has given up his
life for the country has good clam upon the
government. Nor can we understand how II
Is that while Congress, in the Freedmen's Bu-
reau Extension bill, proposed TO squander mil
lions upon millions Of money for the encour-
agement Of idleness and insolence among the
liberated blacks, the two houses should find Il
proper to economize, TO the extent Of few
hundred dollars, in reference 10 the poor white
women industriously Of work in the government
service. Can the venerable Thsddeus Stevens

retrenchmenti We want 10 know.
