A FARCE.

The Hon. Mr. CREswELL, of Maryland,
reports Mr.. SEWARD as having character
lied republican government as farce.
That person is thus reported;
II has long been known to all men who
have enjoyed the privilege of converse
non with Secretary SEWARD, that he has
no faith in the people or in republican
corernment-ihat be is, in fact, moR-
aIchist When the electors of Maryland
cast the last vote at Annapolis, they paid
a visit to Mr.. LINCOLN, after which they
called upon Mr.. SEWARD. He said ::
We'll, re hare gone through the farce
Of another Presidential election.
We were naturally surprised, aud
/ asked him what he meant
by it-that | thought the ELECTION of
Mr.. Lincoln was as fair an election as
was ever held in the country" He re-
piled Yes but then you know the best
of us have not more virtue than will save
US, and the mass cannot be expected to
be better than the individuals composing
it." The original expression was pos
tive assertion, which showed the conclu-
SlOu VI ulc uC
election as "a farce"
Elections, under the laws of disfran-
chisement and intimidation, are some
thing more than farce; they are an
outrage If this is to be the system Of
governing the country, and be adjudged
to be republican, then we, for one, de-
clare that we are not republican. In
justice, under what name soeyer desig-
mated, cannot command the respect Of
good men. Disfrapchisement places
power in the hands of the worst class Of
people, who use it for their own personal
ends Witness the State government Of
Tennessee. Minorities cannot constitu-
tionally rule in this country. They be-
come despotisms, and have nearly al
ways, in the history Of nations, been
overthrow by revolutions at home, or
conquered by neighboring nations. In
this country minority cannot, under
the forms Of republicanism, rule any con.
siderable length of time.

sIR JOHN FRANKLIN.

The captain and part of the crew Of
the American whaling ship Antelope,
which was lost last October near Mean
tick, it is said, have arrived at ST. Johns
The Commercial Journal of that town
says the officers of the Antelope bring
interesting information of discoveries
made by Mr.. C. F. HALL, respecting
FRASKLIS's expedition. Mr.. HALL has
in his possession gold watch, some sill.
yer spoons, and other relics supposed to
have belonged to the Franklin party
BE also learned that the remains of some
of FRAEKJK's men we're lying under a
boat in Commit Bay, where they had been
placed by the natives after death. The
natives would not permit Mr. HALL TO 60
on to examine, but as several vessels
will winter in Repulse Bay it is believed
Mr.. HALL viii secure assistance and push
his way to where the remains are situa.

IT'S WEAKNESS.

The New York Tribune enumerates
the following papers as in favor of the
constitutional amendment;
The Tribune and the Homer Hiad, in
Louisiana; in Georgia, the Savannah
Republican and the Loyalist; in South
Carolina, the Charleston Nescs and the
Journal in Tennessee, the Nashville
Press and Times; in North Carolina
the Newbern Times, the Raleigh Stand
ard and the Charlotte Democrat; in
Texas, FLAKES Galveston Bulletin, the
Austin Southern IatelRgencer and the
San Antonio Express; in Virginia, the
New Nation.
Commenting upon this statement, the
New Orleans Crescent remarks: From
the representatives of Louisiana opinion
above quoted we may judge partially OF
the rest. There is not an able or infu-
entail paper among them. Almost all
are conducted either avowedly in the
special interest of the negroes, or they
are owned and edited by Northern men,
and sustained by Northern capital. The
Savannah Republican has greatly modi-
fed its support of the amendment, and
the Charleston Nelos has completely re-
canted. The Loyalist is edited by man
who has been arrested for swindling ne
groes the Raleigh Standard (HoLDEs's
paper) represents an inconsiderable
faction, and so of the rest Some
of the radical journals perceive
the absurdity of assuming such papers to
be in any sense representative of South
ern opinion, and admit the fact that the
people of the South are unanimously
hostile to the amendment. Such, indeed,
is the truth. There never has been more
unanimity than there is in the South on
this point The amendment will not be
ratified by a single Southern State. Mis-
sissippi has already pronounced against
it-so has Texas; HOLDEN admits that
in the North Carolina Legislature there
are not twenty members in favor of it;
Gov. PERRY, of South Carolina, has de-
clared against it; in the Louisiana Leg
islature it cannot get ten votes.

AN FsTABLIsHEp RELIGION

When the irresistible Radicals shall
have consummated all their politica
monstrosities, may we not expect them to
turn their attention to religion ? We
don't mean religion of the heart, but
religion on the brain-that sort Of re-
ligion which compels the neighbor on
one hill to think as the ncighbor on
another hill may dictate-that sort OF
religion which shall discover disloyalty
in one form of prayer, and heresy, hell-de-
serving, in another form of worship. The
spirit that dictated the law which dooms
ministers of the gospel to fine and i'm
prisonment for preaching without having
taken an oath to the false God of Radi-
calism, will pause at no outrage which
may be deemed necessary to the thorough
subjugation of the human mind. We
may look for an established religion.
We had something like it during the war,
and the fire of the war is not allowed to
abate, but is kept burning We have
recently seen the faggots hurled upon it,
and the fire mount mountain high,
searching with its tongues of flame what
ever dared to oppose it. Look at New
England. Is not every pulpit misno-
mer, every church a sort of political club
room, and every preacher party
spouter2 BUTLER says if BAAL be COP,
serve him. And is not BAAL rising to
the dignity of God ?

TO RE TESTED.

Negro suffrage under the Civil Rights
law is to be tested in the Courts of New
York. A Northern paper says: "For
the purpose of bringing before the courts
some questions relating to colored men.
growing out of the Civil Rights bill and
the Constitutional Amendment abolish
ing slavery, colored man in the city of
New York took some preparatory steps
during the recent registration of voters
in that city. This man came to be reg
istered but the election laws of that
State prescribe property qualification
fer colored voters, he was asked some
questions concerning what property he
had, and he declined to answer, so as to
make up such case as could be brought
before the Supreme Court. 1t would be
well if all political disputes were sought
to be decided in the same lawful and
temperate way.

MISSOURI

In Missouri, the prosecutors of preach
ers have carried the election, sweeping
all before them. They first DISTINGUISHED
the majority, and then had an easy time
in outvoting them. The war on the re-
turned Confederates has been bloody and
relentless. 1t can be endured no longer.
The result is that they are leaving the
State in great numbers for Texas and
other States. Another tide, wholly from
the North and West is setting in to take
their places. These new corners are all
right on political issues, and can vote.
OF course, DISTINGUISHING laws have no
reference to Radicals. The newspapers
Of the State are encouraging both move
ments And SO Missouri must be clsssed
hereafter with Massachusetts, in political
matters

was a success to the Confederates, de-
laying Gen. GILLEM, who had as many
thousands as Col. LOVE had hundreds,
and causing the enemy to take another
route to Asheville, then the headquar-
tiers of the military district known as the
Western District of North Carolina. "
To this the Mississippian adds /;
Subsequently to this, however, Col.
Love had skirmish with Col. W. q.
BARTLETT, commanding United States
forces in HAYWOOD county, on the 9th OF
Nav, 1865, and negotiated terms favora-
bic not only to his own command,
but to the citizens Of the district,
in the surrender on the day following, at
'Almau's Mill which terms were con-
iirmed by Brig. Gen. J. G. MARTIN and
Col. w. Ii. Thomas This was the last
regular surrender this side of the Missis-
sippi river-Gen. Dick TAYLOR surren'

nsn- Climate is wonderful, and so is
distance. The following telegraphic con-
versation is reported: Sydney, Cape
Breton, to New Orleans-"You come

Orleans. It's showing hard here" New
Orleans to Sydney-"Its quite sultry to-

We believe that, by an act of the body
of men who assemble at Nashville and
style themselves Legislature, Federal
soldiers can vote in this State. BRowS-
LOW thinks black soldiers have been sent
to the penitentiary because they are
black. If bill shall be passed by the
said body of men allowing negroes to
vote, would not the black birds of the

GOVERNOR WELLS,

The New Orleans Crescent says of this
patriot: We understand that Governor
WELLS has been formally requested by
parties specially interested in the welfare
Of the State, to issue writs of election, in
order to FIJI the FIVE vacancies now eI-
isting in the State Legislature. He,
however, declined, alleging that when he
issued writs to fill vacancies in the [de-
funct] Convention of 1864, his mandate
was wholly disregarded by the SherifTs Of
the different parishes, and he did not
wish to afford them second opportunity
of acting in like manner And this is
the Governors sole excuse for neglect
ing to perform one of the plainest duties
of his Office. He should recollect that
there is no parallel between an illegal
Convention and Constitutional Legs
lature.
