WHAT STARVATION Mr.. DAVIS ENDuREs.-
The despatch from Fortress Monroe, print.
ed in another column. giving the regular bill
Of fare furnished for Jefferson Davis, is per-
haps the best possible answer to the non
sense of the Copperhead press about his
dreadful sutferings. Here, for instance, is
his Sunday starvation
Breakfast-Veal outlets, poached eggs
(two,) wheat and corn bread, butter, sugar,
milk, and coffee.
Dnner-Broiled chickens, stewed oysters,
potatoes, onions, bread, butter, coffee, sugar
and milk
And so through all the week. Not one in
ten of the honest workingmen Of the country
can afford such bill Of fare. 1t is
about time to stop the manufacture of sickly
sentiment over the condition of man who is
treated more like prince than prisoner

EMIGRATION from Europe continues. The
Liverpool Post says the influx OF German EN-.
igrants at that point, bound TOR America,
shows no abatement The chief difhcuity u
20 find lodging places for them, on account of
the annr.bensions Of cholera from over
crowdinp. Similar accounts come from Ire
land. The peasantry appear to believe that
there is nothing to be done IN the Old Coun.'
try. and are getting away as fast as possible
TO the New World.
According to the Cork Examiner, for many
weeks past the emigration from that port has
been increasing, until it has now reached the
startling figure of l 800 per week. This, I'M
fortunately, is only a. part of the loss which
the country sustains. Other ports send out
emigrants, though not to the extent OF Cork.
1t will. however, be safe TO put the present
rates of emigration down at 1000 per week
and, however gratifying, the prospect OF I'M
provement may be to these young people, it
is melancholy to think that so many of the
most valuable members of society should
quit the land of their birth.

On the reconstruction plan the 7r,bunes
Washington special says:
1.-THE passage of the reconstruction plan re-
ported to the Senate has been delayed by the /
death of Gen. Scott, but 1t will 60 through |
early next week, precisely as reported. Mr. I
Stevens does not like it. but it will pass the |
House Notwithstanding, and he will vote for t
it. The Copperheads see in this foreshadowed
result the defeat of their plans. Mr.. John
son cannot oppose it without running himself.
Congress desires the President to remain in I
the Union party, and if he refuses, the res
will fall upon himself and crush I
him.

The States where Negroes Vote.

The States where Negroes Vote.
The Albany Argus, in a comprehen.
sivc statement ofthe existing condition
of this question in different States de-
nies the truth of a statement lately
made by Il Worcester paper, that ne
groes vote in Massachusetts OH paying
poll tax.
There are only two States in the
Union where the negro is allowed to
vote without property qualification.
They are Vermont and New Hnmp-
shire, the former of which has eighty
negro voters, and the latter one nun
drcd and ninety.
In Massachusetts every voter must,
within two years, have paid State or
county tax unless excused from taxa
ton.
In Rhode Island voter must own
real estate Of one hundred and thirty
four dollars value. or of the clear year
ly value Of seven dollars over any
ground rent,
a co!orcd person is not allowed to
vote in New York unless he has resided
in the State three years, and is free.
holder in value Of two hundred and lif.
ty dollars. and paid taxes thereon.
Massachusetts, which does not at
home allow any man to vote who does
not pay a State or county tax direct,
for they all pay it indirectly, is very
DESTROYS that the Southern States shall
allow negroes to vote without such dis
elimination. She goes in for universal
black suffrage at the South, while de-
nying it to poor whites at home. This
is Massachusetts philanthropy, or pref
ercnce for negro to white.
