President johnson ON Negro Suffrage.

Suffrage should be conferred by
the States, that right Being guaran-
teed to each State by the Constitu-
ton. Andrew Johnson is in favor of
qualified suffrage in Tennessee as q
citizen of that State. He authorized
us, in behalf of the chic executive
of the nation, to urge Qualified suf-
frage for three classes Of colored
men of this District, in April last,
and at his suggestion we renewed the
proposition again in July, only about
one week before Congress adjourned.
We took special pains to notify seve-
raj Radical Senators and Representa-
tives who were anxious inquirers on
the subject, that the President was in
favor of the plan proposed in the
Republican. Tie Radicals were
afraid to touch the question, and
went home to their several States and
blackguarded the President, and de-
clared that he was opposed to extend
ing the right Of suffrage to the black
man.
Andrew Johnson is in favor of more
for the black man in Tennessee, as a
citizen of that State !; he suggested
to Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi
more for the colored men of that
State, and requested and authorized
us to urge upon Congress- at the last
session, more for the colored men Of
this District, than Charles Sumner,
or Henry Wilson. OF any other Con
gresham of Massachusetts, ever
urged for the colored men of their
State No cO1CroI WAN ,,.1o
In the Union army, or who owns pro-
perty, no matter how much, can vote
in Massachusetts,, unless he can read
and write: President johnson goes
beyond that He is in favor of grant
ing suffrage to all colored men,
wherever the Constitution gives him
the power to do it, who can read and
write, or who served honorably in
the Union army, or who own proper
ty to the extent Of two hundred and
fifty dollars and upwards
The only difference between the
President and Congress is, that the
former believes that, under the Con-
stitution, each State has the right to
settle the question Of suffrage for it.
self. Congress assumes the right to
impose it upon the States, Constitu-
tion or no Constitution.
If Andrew Johnson had been rep
resented in the press, and upon the
stump, in the late canvass, with the
same zeal and ability by his professed
friends, that has characterized the
misrepresentation of his enemies, he
would stand to-day the peerless
among the most faithful in the Re
public. National Republican, (OH-
ciM Oryaa,) Norember 10.

population rapidly increased and soon became

intelligent population. Some twelve years ago 1t
applied for and obtained charter Of incorpora-
ton from the Legislature. The people immedi-
atcly organized a municipal government, and for
two or three years carried on the city of South
Nashyille-during which time they instituted the
first public aud high schools ever inauguratcd in
Tennessee. the expenses Of which were wholly
borne by the public. They subsequently united
with the city. and were afterwards under one in

prise was next displayed in projecting and build
ing a street railroad. II was an old idea, but they
were the first to apply it in practice This pass
ing notice of the origin of this enterprise We con-

to a committee of five. These resolutions set
forth that the rebellion was a wicked and cause

that all those who voluntarily bore arms in aid of
the rebellion should be excluded from the exer-
