General Steedmaa for Negro Suf-
frage.
WASHINGTON. December

WASHINGTON, December 9.
General Jim Steedman may be an
nounced as among the converts to
the new Democratic doctrine of ne
gro suffrage. Not a new convert,
either; for he made speech in ia
vor of it two years ago. What he
said, if / recollect right, was that
every negro who had been in the
Union army ought to have the right
of suffrage. He new comes out
stronger than ever in favor of this
doctrine, and is rather proud to tell
his friends at Wizards and else
where that he was the pioneer of the
whole arrangement. He forgot to
boast of this in his speeches last
summer, but that makes no differ
ence. Nobody will doubt his De
mocracy, l hope. At least, it won't
do for Van Trump and other re
constructed Know Nothings, who
now lead the Democratic party of
Ohio in opposition to the Chicago
Times flank movement, to doubt it;
for while they were giving their grips
and pass words, and drilling for the
determination of the men whose
votes they now go on their knees in
the Fourth Ward of Cincinnati and
other such places to obtain, Jim was
-apologizing to the Irish fellow citi-
zens for the accident of birth on this
side of the Atlantic, and encouraging
them to be COED Democrats, and vote
straight tickets. He never was a
Gaddis Democrat like Pendleton, eli.
ther; but has always been of the
straight-eut, pure, unadulterated
stripe.
The Chicago Times wants impair
tial negro suffrage for the South
Well, let us have it and on Steed.
mans basis. Let service in the
Union army be the basis of suffrage
down South. 1t is fair and Impair
tial-not like the photographic quail
ficatien, which is neither In the
South, we all know there has not
been an equal chance for all persons
to learn to read and write; but there
has been an equal chance for all per-
sons to enter the Union army
Blacks and whites had a fair start
in this matter, if in none other. If
the darkies knew better than their
late white masters, now their white
brethren, which was the right side
to fight on, SO much the better fo=
them. Impartial suffrage is just the
thing, If the question of suffrage is
to be interfered with at all in the re-
construction business. The only
point essential to make il work well,
is to see that it is not founded on
some sham or artificial basis. To
be in truth as well as IN name impair
tial, the test must be one for which
all have had an equal chance to quail
ify. Reading and writing won't do
as test in section where they used
to hang q man to q tree or a lamp
post for teaching a negro to read or
write. Steedman's proposition is the
best, and, besides, the Radicals will
all agree to it. So let the Democratic
party wheel into line under Steed
man, if they want to win

Aristoeracy.
BY John @. SAKE.

Ofan the notable things on earth,
The queerest one is pride of birth,
Among our " fierce Democracy"
A bridge across an hundred years,
Without prop TO save from sneers,
Not even a couple of rotten piers:
A thing for laughter, sneers and jeers,
IsAmerican aristocracyl
Depend upon il, my snobbish friend.
Your family thread you can't ascend,
Without good reason to apprehend
You may lind it waxed at the other end,
By some plebeian vocation:
Or, worse than that, your boasted line
May end in q l0opof stronger twine.
That plagued some worthy relation.
Because you flourish in world Affairs,
Don't be naughty snd put on airs,
With insolent pride Of station;
Don't hc proud and turn up your nose
At poorer people in palmer clothes.
But learn for the sake Of your minds repose
That xealth's bubble that comes and goes,
And that all proud flesh, where'er it grows,
i subject to irritation.
