SUFFRAGE ~. TIE DISTRICT OF COZ



No measure that has been before Con-
gress for many years has caused SO much
interest among the citizens of the District
of Columbia IS that enfranchising the
black men of the District, all Of whom
are thoroughly loyal and heartily
sympathised with the government in the
late contest with rebellion and treason,
while the great body of the white inhabi-
tants are VIGOROUSLY disloyal, and during
the progress of the war sympathised with
and as far as possible aided the rebellion.
In the House the contest was brought TO
a close last Thursday, and the measure
passed that body b. an overwhelming
majority, the vote standing yeas 1l6, nays
"a. The Ohio Republican members voted
yea in solid phalanx. Mr.. Huboell, our
member, was detained at his room by
sickness when the vote was taken, but the
next day asked and obtained leave to have
his vote recorded in the Affirmative
There IS little doubt of the passage of the
bin by the Senate, and it is said the Pres
ident has announced his intention to sign
it when passed. The following Is a copy
Of the bill as it passed the House;
Be Il enacted by tie Senate and House

ed and annuIled.

"A White Man, who fed the country
and took up his abode in Canada to avoid
service in Lincoln's slaughter pens,
stopped at this place, Tuesday, on his
way to his home in the north part of the
county, and determined to cut several
fourishes that would astonish the natives
In general and returned veteran soldiers
IN particular. His first exploit was at the
barber shop under the De Puy House,
where he made bill of ninety cents, and
when asked for the cash, 1Ohite man like,
repudiated, drew a revolver and drove
the barber from the room. He next in
dulged in a dish of oysters at one of our
saloons, and, as before, repudiated.
From here he went to the billiard aa-
loon, for the purpose of amusing himself
by a display of desperate feats acquired
10 putting into practice the Democratic
theory of a year ago. He was addressing
the audience there assembled on his per-
sonal bravery, and how like a sausage
grinder he would mince meat any man
who would say . Canada " to him, when
a soldier, who had carried one Of Uncle
Sans muskets from first to last, and had
just heard Of the White Mans exploits,
entered the saloon, c0llared the gentle
man, and exercised his muscles on him
for a minute, then led the sneaking cow
ard to the barber shop, and compelled
him to apologize to the "darkey and
fork over the ninety cents he had refused
to pay an hour before, conducted him to
the pavement and kicked him several
times about six inches below the battons
on his coat behind. He left town on
double quick, forgetting before starting to
mention to the boy in blue, that he car
ried a revolver and was fighting man.

CONGRESSIONAL APPoBrroNMEvr

CONGR RESSIONAL APPORTTONMENT
A proposed amendment of the Consti-
tuition. making voters instead of popula-
tion the basis of Congressional represen-
tation. having been reported in both
branches of Congress from the recon
struotion committee, it may be taken for
granted that it will be adopted in some
shape by the requisite two-thirds MAORI
ty and go to the State Legislatures for
ratification. We believe it to be founded
in equity and justice, and doubt NOT it
will soon become part and parcel Of the
Constitution. twill remove the existing
inequality Of representation between the
North and South, which would be greatly
increased by the liberation of the slaves,
as instead of the three-ffth rule applying
in apportionment, as was the case with
slaves, the whole number Of free blacks
would be counted, giving that section a
large increase of members, and making the
vote of one white South Carolinian rebel
rs potent in eleeting Representatives as
those Of three loyal white men in Ohio. It
will be holding out to the Southern States
the powerful motive of self-intersst to
deal fair and honorably by the blacks;
and If they persist in disfranchising them
they take the consequences in diminished
representation in the National Legisla-
ture while at the same time it will afford
q happy solution Of the suffrage question.
It will also hasten and simplify the work
of reconstruction. In the language of
cotempOrary;
While reconstruction without proper
guarantees is madness, no one can deny
that the delay of reconstruction one mo-
ment longer than is necessary for the peace
and security of the nation and all Its IN
habitants would be wicked and hurtful.
The sooner the South can be safely re-
stored to civil law and to representation
~ the Federal government, ths better for
herself and for US. Any measure which
Wlll give US an opportunity to restore law
and order In the Southern States should,
Tor that reason alone, be regarded with
favor And we are inclined to think that
this measure, together with the other
guarantees which will be enforced by
Congress- will be accepted By the Presi-
dent, by the people, and by the South, as
forming the proper basis for the read
mission Of the Southern States. 2
