INTELLIGENT SUFFRAGE

To secure thesupremacy of the 'Ioy-
al" party, forever, Thad. Stevens wants
the Southern negroes to vote. Hesays:
IF they the Southern States should
grant the right Of suffrage to persons OF
color, | think there would always be
Union white men enoughin the South,
ojded By the Uack&, to divide the repre-
sentation, and thus continue Republi-
can ascendency."
Almost in the next breath he tells us
how well fitted those blacks are for suf-
frage.-He says:
"The internal laws Of slavery% have
prevented them the blacks from ac-
quiring an education or from m7der-
staJ3diag the eommoRegt lars Of coRtract
or from managing The ordinary 6usiaess
Of i5e.o
But this Is no matter-the blacks
would all vote under loyal dictation.
But if a sufficient number of blacks
could not be marshalled to keep up the
ascendancy Of the "Ioyap party, why
the horses and cattle could be counted
in, also, and voted through agents OF
the Freedman's Bureau or other radi-
calIy loyal avenues. 1t is well known
that neither the equine nor the bovine
classes understand the commonest
laws OF contract, and are incapable OF
"managing the ordinary business OF
life" They are therefore not likely to
vote any more intelligently than the
blacks, 30 faithfully photographed by
Stephens. Such plastic "Republican'

ROMANCE AND REALITY.-Many Of
the citizens of Pottsville no doubt re-
membera handsome, dashing young
officer Of the heSeventeenth United States
Infantry, Lieut.. Ed. Mcconnell, who
was formerly stationed here on the re-
cruiting service. "Lieutenant Ned"
was brave and distinguished officer,
and being fine-lOoking, and Of a gay
and festive" turn generally, he was
quite a favorite with many Of the la
dies and fast men here.
Some time after leaving here the
Lieutenant rose to the position Of a
Major, and was appointed Provost
Marshal of st. Louis. In the mean
time he contrived to be in Harrisburg
frequently, and became too intimate
with the daughter Of Gov. Curtin to
suit the fancy Of the Governor, who fl
nally ordered him to discontinue his
visits.
One day, however, Major Mcconnell
and the Governors daughter stepped
into the Office of some magistrate to
the Governor unknown, and were mar
ried. The bride returned home, and
not long after the Major called to see
her, when the ''atern parent obiecting,
he was made acquainted with the true
position of affairs. OF course, he Sex
alted the antique Nicholas" generally,
but finally cooled down and proposed
to send his daughter, who was rather
young, to boarding school for year
before she entered into the responsible
ties Of housekeeping, etc. This plan
was carried out, and the youthful bride
was sent off toa distant seminary.
Major Ned, becoming dissatisfied
with this arrangement, carried the
young lady off again. But Major Ned
/ the gossips say, was inclined to fast liv-
ing, and the "course of true love" did
MT run smooth. The Governor went
1 to sea for the benefit of his health-Cu-
pid did the same, probably, and the ro-
mantle union of the Major and his
/ partner ended in a most unromantic
/ sauabble. Last week a bill of divorce
in their case was passed by the Legisla-
ture at Harrisburg, and the illy-match-
ed pair We're separated as suddenly and
as much to the surprise of the gossips
as they had been united. Major Ned
is sagaina gay single man, and the young
lady a miss; and both parties will
doubtless be a little more cautious next
time about 'tying the knot with the
tongue that can't be united with the
teeth. -POtsUiije Standard.

WEDN EsDAY. Jan. "A, 1866.

w EDN ESDAN, Jan. "a lSOb,
The Senate was called to order at II
o'clock, a. M, by Speaker FLEMING.
Prayer was offered by Rev. James
Colder.
ANNUAL REPORT OF BLIND ASYLUM.
The SPEAKER presented the an
nual report of the Institution for the
instruction of the blind. Laid on the
table.
The resolutions offered by Mr.. Ian
DON, Rep, yesterday, approving of the
action Of the Republican members of
Congress from this State, in voting for
the act granting the right of suffrage to
the cOlOred men of the District Of Co.
lumbia, and instructing our Senators
TO vote for the same, came up on third
reading.
Mr.. DUNLAP, Rep, moved to re-
commit them to the Committee on Fed
eral Relations.
Mr.. LOWRY, Rep, hoped the mo-
ton would not prevail. The Senate
understood this question as thoroughly
as the committee possibly could. The
Senator from Bedford Mr. HOUSE
HOLDER) yesterday had an 0pportun-
ity of voting on these resolutions, but
declined to do so. He wished to know
if this motion was to allow the Senator
to further screen himself; also. Wheth-
er he desired to ''change sides" on this
measure. He wanted Senators to meet
the issue like men.
Mr.. HOUSEHOLDER, Rep, said he
would vote on the question when the
proper time arrived.
Mr.. LANDON moved to postpone
indefinitely.
Mr.. DUNLAP said that his object
was to allow Senators who We're not
present yesterday to examine the res0-
lutiOns and give them an opportunity
to speak on the same if they desired.
Mr.. LANDON replied that he did
not want to see these resolutions smOth-
cred. He thought every Senator read
the papers sufficiently to properly un-
derstand the question.
Mr. HOPKINS, DEM, hoped that
the resolutions would be allowed to lie
over. He was ready and anxious 10
meet the question openly before the
Senate but thought thar time should
be given for both sides to discuss the
same.
Mr.. LANDON, wanted the issue met
! fairly and squarely.
Mr.. DONOVAN, Dem, was ready to
vote for any day the Senator might
name 10 consider the resolutions to
show him he did not desire to evade the
issue. He thought there were too many
friends of the red and black men in
this Senate to attempt that. Laugh
ter.
Mr.. LANDON then modified his a.
mendment making the resolutions the
special order for tomorrow, which mo-
/ ti0n was adopted.
