The New York Tribune says that among the
four millions Of negroes in the country at the be
ginning Of the war, there were not more than a
thousand who were not Observation-Disclosures
the negroes ought to be endowed with the right of
suffrage. Perhaps the Tribune is right But were
there thousand who were Unionists? If the Tri-
bune had said there were not a thousand negroes
who were not Athanasians, or Arians, this state
ment would have been just as correct as the other
simply because there were none who were anti,
Arians or Athanasians They knew just as
much and cared Just as much about the theoIogicaI
differences involved in the one case as they knew
or cared about tile political differences involved in
the other case But admitting the statement to be
true in all its length and breadth, and admitting
too, that it follows that negroes ought thence to
be allowed to vote it seems that the right of suf-
frage is not BY any means natural right. but
flows from agreement in political opinion with Mr.
Greeley. That seems to be the upshot Of me
whole business those who believe as the radicals
believe would make splendid voters, while those
who oppose the radicals have no business at he
ballot-box.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SuHaIARY--G Gold
sold up to l29491293 yesterday under advices of
an improvement in the New York market. Ope-
Fations at the enhanced figures were very light
however, and the amount Of subsequent slight

in the evening papers, created a marked reaction,
as may be Inferred from the closing rates, which
were 12T1G12s, against l261@l27 on Wednesday
evening.

Washington special to the New York Tribune
contains the following:
A loyal Georgian just arrived here urges the
radicals in Congress to Withdraw all Federal com
troll, assistance or restraint, from any one of the
late rebellious States for thirty days. aud leave
the reconstructed citizens entirely to themselves
He says the experiment win not only satisfy North.
eTn conservatives, but cause wall for gnocor 10
come up from the people themselves, He thinks
that in less than ten days they would imppfe to
be saved from themselves. He states that the
entire South is unit in its determination to force
a recognition OF their war debt or a repndiation
Of ours.
The gentleman who gave this precious bit d
information may be loyal Georgian but he
is likewise loyal idiot. The idea that the South
ern people, il LEFT to manage their own affairs
would implore salvation from their own suicidal
procligities in less than ten days, is peculiarly
suggestive. It means, we suppose, that the
Southern whites require to be taken care of by
New England politicians, or Intelligent contra
bands, Of BY this loyal Georgian and his
small circle Of friends, little while ago 1T was
necessary to held the Southern white people in
aubjdgation to keep them from numbering the
blacks. Now It il necessary to restrain them
from making away With themselves. And yet it
is strange, N view Of this necessity, that for
seventy years they managed to conduct their
internal affairs Without calling On New England
fer assistance. However, that Is inst what's the
matter II is the height Of presumption in any set
q people TO suppose that they can get along
Without the care and guidance Of the political
