The Capital of the Southern Steamship
Company.

IF the investment of six hundred thousand
dollars in steamers to the South will be profit
able, the investment of million would be bet
ter. The first sum is the proposed capital of
the company soon to be chartered, and is, we
have no doubt, sufficient to establish one first
class line to the chief ports of the South
But it is not in proportion to the wealth of
the city and her commercial interests. We
accept the present subscription as an evidence
of renewed spirit of enterprise. 1t is a noble
beginning, but it would be folly to consider it
a satifactory conclusion OF the great work our
merchants have begun.
One million Of dollars, promptly subscribed,
will at once place Philadelphia on an equality
with her commercial rivals. 1t will enable
the company to build or buy steamers unsur-
passed for speed, strength, and size by any in
the country, and will give it the great advan-
tage of a capital sufficient to meet any emer-
gency, aud use any opportunity. Philadel
phia, in undertaking such work, should
employ all her resources; and one million of
dollars is but moderate price to pay for the
immeasurable benefits of direct communica-
ton with the Southern ports. We are in
formed that the 100000 are nearly subscribed,
and that the company will soon be ready to
begin active operations. This is not the time
for the committee to abandon their labors.
The success they have met should inspire
greater energy, for if six hundred thousand
dollars can be raised in few weeks to esta-
blish these lines, certainly four hundred
thnusand moro pan hp obtained IN innrnosn
their power and usefulness. 1t will be proud
day when the first steamer leaves Pbiladel-
phia for Wilmington or New Orleans, for from
it will be dated a new commercial era for the

How THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE BILL
PASSED THE HoUsE.-The New York Times
of this morning, in an editorial evidently
penned by its editor, Hon. HENRY j. RAY
MoND, the mouthpiece Of the President in the
House, explains the manner in which the re.
cent bill extending the privileges ofsuffrage to
the colored residents of the District OF Colum-
bia was passed; and the explanation, il true,
a majority to succumb to their views. 1t
would seem that Judge KELLEY, after NOV
ing the bill in the House, discovered that the
difference of opinion in the Union ranks on
the propriety of its adoption would render a
caucus action necessary.
The bill, therefore, went before a party
caucus, in which, 'by vote Of two to one, it
was decided to so modify it as to rendera
knowledge sufficient to read and write, and
property qualification, necessary before the
African could be allowed to vote. In order
that such an amendment be made, it was
essential that it should be recommitted to the
Judiciary Committee. When, however, the
House met and the motion to refer was made
the Radicals-so says conservative RAYMOND
voted with the Democrats, and defeated its
recommitment. The question was then sub
mitted eitLer to oppose the extension IN toto,
or else to vote for the unmoditied bill.
The members of the party preferred the
former, and hence the bill passed in its most
radical form. The Raymond faction are evi-
IDENTIFY sore over the result, and design to kill
the bill by securing the veto of the Executive.
The New York Times thus makes bid in
in that direction when it says:-
1T is we'll enough to bear IN mind, moreover.
that President JOHNSON has never committed
himself IN any way to the principle of universal
negro suffrage, either for the District of Colum-
bia or for any State; and that is the principle
which, If this bill passes the Senate, is to be pre-
sented for his approval. 1t is possible, there
fore, to say the least, in our Judgment.
that President JOHNSON may withhold his
signature from this bill. We distrust the
expressions of confidence of his appro
val in which these gentlemen somewhat
ostentatiously indulge. In these days of diff
Guilty and danger-when the peace now dawmng
may be dispersed by temDests still more terrible
than that whose 1rlghtful tury stul SOUNDS In our
ears, we cannot look upon indifference to the
fate of the Union party as consistent with love
for the Union or devotion to the welfare of our
common country. This is not the time eoben ne,o
ISSUES can be forced upon He nation, ooithout
Imminent danger Of reOpeTiRg those the nation
has Just decided"
AS the sympathy existing between Mr..
RAYMOND and the President is known to be
perfect, the utterances of the Times, there
fore, have value which they would not under
other circumstances possess.

Governor Worth.

THE message OF Governor WORTH, OF North
Carolina, is one Of those plain, practical, COM
mon sense documents which can be under
stood by everybody, and is not an attempt by
unmeaning Verbiage to cover up want of
idea and total lack OF valuable suggestion.
The Governor plainly states that the time has
come when every State must prove its un-
questionable loyalty, and the sooner measures
are taken for this object the better it will be
for all concerned. The best policy for the
States lately in insuTection is to make the
best Of their bargain, and submit to the
DEGREES of fate. The rebellious citizens of the
South are hopelessly overthrown, and pru-
dence dictates that they should succumb as
gracefully as circumstances will permit. Gov
ernor WoRTH's advice is most opportune, and
we hope it will be acted upon. No good can
possibly grow out OF a conflict with the
national authorities, and perhaps much harm
may accrue to individuals if contumacious
spirit is exhibited by those lately in rebellion.
The whole OF President JoHNsoN's course
shows determination on his part to see that
the Federal authority shall be respected, and
in this loyal people will always sustain him.
His closing sentence is one that may be profit
ably pondered by all who still indulge the
vain hope of future Southern Confederacy.
He SAYS
II pray God returning sense of patriotism
