THE PRESIDENT AND THE CUES
TION OF SUFFRAGE IN THE DIS
TRICTl


Discussing the probable result of the bill
which has recently passed the lower house
of Congress, granting suffrage to the negroes
in the District of Columbia, the New York
Herald says:
Whether two-thirds vote for the House
bill can be relied upon in the Senate is a
disputed point Should that vote be cast 1t
win, of course be useless for the President
to veto the bill, since the same vote can pass
it over his veto at any time. In that case he
will probably return the bill without his
signatuse, thus throwing the whole respop-
sibility upon Congress, and leaving the mem
bers to explain their action to their constitu-
ents as they best can But if the bill should
pass the Senate without a two-thirds vote
we predict that the President will veto it.
In his veto message he viii state his posi-
ton in regard to negro suffrage, and as he
understands the whole subject very thor
oughly, having been born and educated
among the non-slaveholding whites of the
South, the country will await this exposition
with the greatest interest. The President may
be opposed to negro suffrage upon the ground
of inexpediency; he may be in favor Of
granting the right of suffrage to the negroes
under a property qualification, as in New
York he may suggest an educational limi-
tation, or he may hold that only those ne
groes who served in our army during the re-
sent rebellion should be admitted as partners
with the whites in the government of the
republic. We do not pretend to define his
exact views upon the subject but still we
venture the prediction that his veto will
promptly follow the passage of the House
bill by the Senate, unless that passage be eff
fected by twS-thirds vote. The issue be-
tween the President and the radicals will
then be clearly and Enthusiastically marked,
and the people win have to decide between
them. We believe that the people are with
the President, and that the thousands who
are claimed by the radicals as ardent sup
porters of q negro suffrage law, unconditional
and universal, are just as mythical az those
thousands of abolition soldiers who, accord
ing to Governors Andrew and Yates, were
to crowd the highways and byways as soon
as the emancipation proclamation was issued,
but who could never be discovered by the
government, even after repeated drafts. We
are quite ready, therefore, to have the issue
made, because we beliye that the President
will be sustained. Indeed, for many reasons
we deem 1t better that the matter should be
forced at once to a conclusion. The govern
ment isnow disorganized and divided against
itself; the progress of reconstruction is inn
peded, and the country Is disgraced by these
squabbles, and suffering from the unsettled
condition of affairs. Let rs have some de-
finite settlement of the negro question, and
let the Union be restored without further
delay. IL 81 8

1t is an accusation often made against the
newspapers Of Cincinnoti that they do not
have enough to say OF the greatness of the
city, and do not set forth the Improvements
made here with the conspicuity that would
be becoming and profitable; and occasional
" we are pointed to the Chicago papers as
models in this respect. Perhaps they are,
but we regard them as models of bad taste,
and our opinion is decided that their inces-
SAINT and excessive pafery positively dam
ages the credit of the city. People are apt
to suspect the virtue of too much protesta-
ton.
But there is one department Of a nevspa-
per that to the eye Of the experienced OBJ
server, always tells the truth of the business
Of a city-the advertising department And
it serves perfectly, too, as an index for the
general public. Editors may puff the BUSH
meas of their respective cities until they lose
breath and conscience, but if the editorials
have not the Endorsement of advertisements,
they are all emptiness and vanity. That
which is true of cities Is true of smaller mat
tiers. People eagerly seek a puff in the edi-
torial and local column, of things which they
ought to know intelligent persons are aware
editors are not informed; and they think
such notices" as they can obtain by per-
sonal importantly, added to pecuniary in
ducements, in second rate papers, are of
more value than advertisements in a first
class paper, that will not make editorial APP
peals for attention to advertisements, in any
case, or prostitute its columns ostensibly de-
voted to reading matter, for money.
(. Herein they are greatly mistaken. The
people do not err when they look upon
fat puff as evidence of humbuggery. They
know the editor who declares some new
notion or novel nostrum the most extraor-
binary invention of the age, does not know
what he is writing about, and take ii for
granted he is paid to deceive them. And
We have no doubt many meritorions enter
prises have been prejudiced and failed
through puffery, that would have succeeded
if their proprietors had better appreciated
the public intelligence, and been so sagacious
as to perceive the superior value of legti-
innate advertising. es1E
So we say to the business men and active
population of Cincinnati, who think we
should be as noisy in praise of our city as
the Chicago papers are in setting forth the
wonders of the part of the world in which
their lot is cast, that in this greater, as well
as in many smaller affairs, advertising is
better than putting. No editorial elaboration
of the advantages we possess in Cincinnati,
and of the growth and activity of the place,
could so plainly tell Of the presence of a
great and busy city here, rich and stirring
with capitiI and skilled labor, as the third
page of The daily Commercial, where the
myriad pants of the people are advertised,
and Their. marvellous reciprocity appears.
And so, tor. in lesser degree of other de-
partments of advertising.

THE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY.
- CThe following is translation from an
ancient Spanish poem, which, says the
Edinburg Review, 10 surpassed by nothing
With which We are acquainted in the
Spanish language, except tho "Ode of
Louis de Leon."]
Oh let the soul it's slumbers break
Arouse it's se nses and awake,
To see how soon
Life, in ito glories, glides away,
And The stern footsteps Of decay
Come stealing on.
And while We view the rolling tide.
Down which our flowing minutes glide
-. Away % FAST 49,. =
Let Us the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream joy
Already past
Let no vain hope deceive the mind,
No happier let US hope to find
Tomorrow than day;
Our golden dreams Of yore were bright
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like hasting streams must be
That into one engulphing sea
Are doomed to fall
The sea of death, whose waves roll on
Der king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble rivulets glide
To that sad wave
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but starting place;
Life is the running Of the race,
And death the goal
There all our glittering toys are brought,
That path alone, Of all unsought,
Is found Of all
See, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those glittering toys of earth
That lure US Eerel
Dreams Of sleep that death must break
Alas before it bids Us wake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damp Of death can blight,
Tho cheeks pure glow of red sud white
Has passed away;
Youth smiled, and all was heavenly fair
Age came and laid bis finger there,
And where are they?
Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The step that roved so light and gay,
The hearts blithe tone!
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
Aud joy grows wearisome, and wo!
