WHAT 1T MEANs.-The passage by
fhe House of Representatives of the
I'LL establishing universal negro suf-
frage in the District Of Columbia, is
of itself no very important matter,
hut as foreshadowing the ra lical pol
ley for the future, is of most startling
significance. The following extract
from late article in the n. Y. Times,
conservative republican, explains what
it means:
If this question were confined to
the District of Columbia it would be
of less importance than it is Con-
gress has within that District the un-
questioned power of exclusive legisla-
ton, and however oppressively and
unwisely that power may be exercised,
the injury inflicted is confined within
narrow limits. But this step is but
an entering wedge to general system
of legislation concerning the negro
race. The avowal has repeatedly been
made by those known as radicals in
the Union ranks, that its main purpose
was to establish principe in the
District which should afterwards be
applied TO the several States. The
a omission vi the recently emancipated
ayes to the right of unqualified, uni
versal suffrage i'll tho rebel States, is
put forward by them as an iadispen-
sable condition to the re-admission of
these States to the Union, Judge
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, the author
"a this bill, declared recently in debate
with MIR. kasson, of Iowa, that Con-
gress had tho right TO prescribe the
qualifications of voters 'lur the most
Humorous branch of the Legislature"
in every State in the Union-in other
words, thai, notwithstanding the ex-
plicit language Of the Constitution,
Congress had supreme power over this
whole subject, and he is prepared to
IN reduce bill for its assertion and
exercise. Mr.. Stevens has given notice
oi a bill to give every emancipated
negro homestead, eithor from the con-
fisoatcd estates of Southern rebels, or
from lands in the South owned by the
Government. A bill is already before
the House ignoring utterly everything
done by tho President toward the res
t,ration of peace and Federal rela-
tons in the Southern States, and pro-
posing to organize territorial govern
ments for them all. And the same
tactics arc to be employed to force any
and every one Of these measures upon
tie Union party in the House, which
proved 50 succe ssful ON this District
Of Columbia blu.

A TRAIN OF Cans FRozES rIS.-On
Saturday the trains from Mason on
the Jackson, Lansing and. Saginaw
Railroad, due here at 10 o'clock, AM,
MD not arrive. At 5 o'clock r. NJ, the
engine came in and reported the train
frozen in at a cut near Leslie. The
water from the thunder shower of
the previous night had settled in
the cut to tho depth of about ten in
ches, and thick coat of ice formed
on the surface. Upon the arrival of
the train tho conductor thought that
with extra speed it could be run
through. A full head of steam was
put on, and when in the middle of the
cut the train stuck fast, SO that il
could not be moved in either direc-
ton. 1t was with great difficulty that
the engine could be extricated. The
passengers returned TO Leslie, and
at last accounts the train still re-
NAMED frozen in the cut. Yesterday
q gang of laborers were sent to res
cue it. We presume, however, the
cars will DO running again to day

ZET The Racine Journal publishes
an account Of terrible tragedy that
occurred last Friday evening in Wal
worth county, Wisconsin. a farmer
living between Lyons and Geneva,
had sold his farm for $1,000, and on
the morning of the murder had started
west to purchase another farm. About
eight O'Clock in the evening three men
dressed in soldiers clothes, entered
the house, and murdered the mans
wife and child, and then proceeded to
ransack the house. a neighbor living
across the road, rushed over there,
taking with him revolver Upon
entering the house, the first sight that
met his gaze, was the bodies of the
murdered mother and child weltering
in blood. The murderers, in the
meantime, were up stairs, aud had
started down, when the neighbor faced
them and fired upon them, killing one
instantly, and mortally woundihg the
other two. The names of the parties
are ascertained.

POPULATION OF ILLINOIS, The State
censns has reached state of complet-
ness to enable every citizen of Illinois
to enjoy the announcement of the re-
markabe fact that we have now q
population Of two and half millions.
The changes yet to be made will not
greatly modify this figure. In 1860
the census showed that Illinois had
$1,000 inhabitants, This gives us,
therefore, gratifying proof that in the
past five years, Notwithstanding the
rebellion and the demands of the war
upon our people, we have received an
accession of 100000, growth of
thirty three per cent. 1t is n fact to
be reviewed with pride and with equal
wonder when it is remembered that
we have contributed within that time
to the armies OF the Union 256, 900
men, Chicado Tribune.
