Has Not the Indian as Good Right to
Vote as the Negro.

Fanaticism in politics is as unreasou.
able and unjust as in religion. The radi-
cal and revolutionary politicians have
been crying out negro, negro, for years,
and have been properly called negro-wor-
shippers, because they have dwet con-
tinually on this one theme. We have
seen the consequences of their fanaticism
in the terrible war just closed Still they
are not satisfied. The negro is free, and
yet they are crazy as ever about him.
They have but one idea. They would
make this inferior race, ignorant and bru-
talized as it is by slavery, throughout all
ages the controlling power in the South.
Now, if there be such admiration for
dark-skinned men, and they are to be.
come the petted, fostered and privileged
class, why should not the original lords
of the soil, the Indians, be made full
voting citizens !? They are not as dark
as the negro, it is true and unless that
be an insuperable objection against them
they certainly are as we'll qualified. IL
seems, however, that the blacker the skin
and more woolly and crisp the hair, the
higher the people stand in tho estimation
of the radical republicans. If q protest
would be of any use, we certainly
should protest against the superior In
dian race being denied the suffrage, while
it is to be given universally to an inferi-
or race. Think of such man as the
gallant Col. Parker, Gen. Grants aid-de-
camp, and many other superior men of the
the Indian race we mig ht name, being
excluded, while Africans who hardly
know their right hand from their left are
admitted to political equality with the
whites. In fact if the negro is to be pla-
ced on perfect political equality with our
selves, we cannot see why the Indians,
Chinese, Malays and other races, which
are not inferior to the negro, should not
have the same privileges.-N. T. Her.

From tie Springfield republican, (Rp)
Congress May Persist too Long in this
Policy,''

ADMISSION OF SOUTHERN MEMBERS
TO CoNGREss -Untess some further
guarantees are to he imposed upon the
South in the shape of amendments to the
Constitution, and Southern members are
to be kept out of Congress until such
amendments are accepted by their States,
it is not easy to find justification for re-
iusing to admit them at once. The Pres
ident's positive opinions and earnest
wishes on til" subject are not left in
doubt, and they naturally have great
weight with the people, who believe in
his honest purpose to restore the Union
on the sound basis of loyalty and liberty.
The President has had such confidence
in his own views and in their acceptance
by Congress that he has persuaded South

while Congress should neither act nor

titled at least TO respect, and the reason
he urges for his policy should have due
weight with Congress, as they undoubt-
eddy will have with the people. Besides
if the Southern members are to be exclu-
ded for any length of time, the only con-
sistent course is TO adopt the extreme rad
ical programme, annul the existing gov
erment, and establish territorial or mill
tary government OF the Southern States.
To allow these States to maintain State
governments, and to give them such po-
sition in the Union that their Legislatures
may adopt or reject an amendment to the
United States Constitution, and yet to ex-
clude their loyal Senators and Represen-
tatives, is wholly anomalous, and can be
justified only as mere act of arbitrary
power, upon considerations of public me-
cessity or safety. 1t is quite possible

A Recruit from the Grave.

contested battle, party of soldiers be.
longing to the LIST Missouri took jaunt
over the battle. field, aud came up 10 the
place where the rebel dead were buried.
In one place the hair of mans head
was seen sticking out of the ground like
tuft of grass, and near by "a hand was
seen protruding upwards, which evident
ly belonged to the corpse that owned the
head of hair. One of the cayarymeu
remarked to his companions, in a spir-
it of thoughtless ltvity, Sec, there's

let's see what he wants In the same
spirit of wanton mischief, almost reckless
ness. the cavalryman took hold of the
mans hand and hauled the body out of
the grave, the loose dirt falling back into
the shallow hole Soon after the man
began to stir and manifest signs of life,
to the utter establishment and horror of
the resurrectionists. The man was taken

that he had joined the rebel army, and
fought the Federals long and we'll, but as
this was his second appearance on earth,
he would now join the Federals and
fight for them. He accordingly enlisted
in the LIST Missouri, did good deal of

THE CATTLE PLAGUE AND VAccIN-
ATIoN.-A few days ago we published
some speculations of an English medical
journal upon the probable identity of the
cattle plague with smallpox. The PAIL
Mall Gazette of the 9Th instant, publishes
the following account of an interesting ex-
pertinent, which seems to show that vacci-
nation is an actual preventive:
"Mr. Thomas Chambers says that a
London dairyman, Mr.. b.. has kept his
twenty seven cows all through the plague
unhurt, while those of his neighbors have
been perishing. When asked to account
for his immunity, Mr.. B., explained that
he had for years vaccinated every COW, old
or young, which entered his sheds, and
has never since lost one. Now here is an
opportunity of testing the value of the
prophylactic on great scale. Let the
cattle plague commissioners buy that sta
BILE, and place among the cows two or
three diseased beasts, and watch the re-
suit. If all escape death, and the MAORI
ty any seizure at all, the identity Of rind-
erpest with smallpox will have been en-
piricaIIy proved, and the plague will be
almost at an end. 1t will remain only to
vaccnate all cattle as we vaccinate all
/ children" Sun.

from such source, ought to convince
even the most skeptical of the disposilion
of the South to accept, frankly and hon.

to allow that section of tie country to re-
sumo its old relations with the Union.-
Gen. Longstreet says
III see that some of the public men of
the North are still inclined to doubt our
loyalty at the South, and to hold us in
our present condition for further guaran-
tees. What can we do to satisfy them ?
We are willing and anxious to do any,
thing that is wanted of us, provided that
we are allowed to get on some constitu-
tional platform. do not suppose that
there are a thousand men in the South

Views Of Ex-Governor Wise.

The Hon. Henry A. Wise delivered an
address few evenings ago, before the
Richmond Blues, military company
which has been reorganized 10 that city.
The following sketch vf portion of his
address is from the Richmond Republic
"He said he had surrendered IN good
jaiM and was a paroled prisoner of war,
but that, being above the rank Of colonel,
he could not apply for pardon without TAX
ing test oath, aud that he could not do
He advised the young men who heard
him TO let their surrender DO likewise in
good faith. Their duty was to endeavor
to reipstate our beloved commonwealth in
her former grandeur and glory. Talk not
of leaving her she is still the most de-
lighttul and dearest portion # all the
earth. fIe warned them not to encourage
any thought of establishing separate
government. If they fought again they
must fight under the stars and stripes
1t was his flag; it was their flag. He
said that when more than four thousand
miles from home that flag was the shelter
agis that protected him. 1t was still the
symbol of liberty to the oppressed of the
whole world, for it was only this country
that afforded an asylum from despotism.
"He had heard some young men talk
flippantly about the prospects of foreign
war, such as might result between the
United States and France, in regard 10
Mexico, in which event, they said, they
would take sides with the enemy. Lei

Freaks of Lightning.

One of the most remarkable freaks of
lightning ever recorded took place at the
house of Judge Mcneil, in The town of
Middleport, Ill.,, on Friday, the 9th ult.
The family circle consisting of Judge Nc
NELL and wife, little son, his stepson,
Mr. Lucien A. Tatman, stepdaug Inter,
Mrs. Elder and hired girl, were seated in
the family dining room, and little grand
daughter was sleeping in an adjoining bed
room. A reverse explosion sent three
distinct columns of the fluid into the
Judges house. One ran along the brick
foundation to within a few feet of the door
of the room in which the group were sit
ting, and then followed up joist some
fifteen inches and burst through the plas-
ter to the bottom of the leaf of table
which was standing against the wall !;
thence over the table upon Mr.. Tatman's
shoulder who sat leaning against the Ia
BILE.
A portion of the fluid ran over, and
portion under his arm, and, uniting, ran
down his leg, and leaped upon Judge Nc
NELL, first striking him on the buckle OH
the back part of his pants, coursng its
way down the thigh and leg to the foot,
where, bursting open his boot, it escaped
to the stove on which his boot was rest
ing at the time he was struck. The
Judges little son was thrown from his
chair in which he was sitting, but without
being hurt; nor were any of the others in
the room injured. The other two col
umns of fluid performed almost equally
eccentric maneuvres. Each of the gen.
tlemen had pen-knife in their pockets,
which were completely polarized. No
one was seriously injured.

A Northern Mans Experience With
Freed Negroes Down South.

A Macon (Georgia) correspondent thus
writes to the Cincinnati Enquirer:
will briefly relate to you my expert
ence for the past four months with free
darkies. The first one hired was Jerry,
agreeing on my part, to pay him fair
salary, and Jerry STIMULATING to attend
to my room for at least one month
or no pay, and the declaration that he
would stay with me all the time. At the
end of the fourth day Jerry broke into my
trunk, stole one hundred dollars worth of
clothing, and walked forth into the street.
In few days, by dint of persuasion and
the promise OF sig per month, hired
John upon the same terms and general
stipulations had with Jerry that is no
pay until the end of the month, and moth.
ing if he quit before that time. He work.
ed the month out faithfully, and was
congratulating myself upon the good luck
of having found faithful and an honest
servant. Ipaid him off and was SO much
assured of his honesty that | entrusted

sum. He stole the money, and put him

portunities, agreed 10 release him pro-
vided she would bind him to me for five
months to work it out. This she did

Inext hired Arch, who came with plen-
ty of recommendations that he was hon.

my Office one morning only. About ten
O'Clock ! was called upon by Captain
Night, Waterman at the general passenger
depot, with Arch under arrest. Night
stated that after Arch lett my Office that

menting on the report that Jefferson Davis
will shortly be tried before military
commission the Richmond Dispatch says:
We believe that Mr.. Davis would ask
no better tribunal before which to be

Generals Grant, Sherman, and Meade
And we would wager "our dukedom
