Tho London Times on the Negro

The London Times, in dilating on the
subject of negro suffrage in the United
States, says
Why cannot the negro be declared o
citizen and invested with all the rights
of a man? The real answer is that he
is not citizen, and cannot be made a
citizen by proclamation or law. We
have unfortunately had little expe-
rience of our own in this matter. We
gave the Jamaica negro, in common with
his white master, civil equality and the
right of selfgovernment, and see how it
has ended. All the negro instincts and
habits go in the other direction. He is
careless, credulous and dependent; easily
excited, easily duped, easily frightened;
always the ready victim of the stronger
will. He is material for the hands of
anybody who wishes to make use of him.
Invested with full political rights, the
race must be magazine of mischief
In Jamaica it appears that the negroes
would imbibe, at day s notice, any alb
surd delusion as to the authority and
wishes of the British queen, of the COM
missioners, or anybody else; but what
they were always looking for was some
thing to be given, or something to be
done for them, or some law to make
them all rich, happy land owners, and
tax free forever. Such men are not citi-
zens, call them so as we will.

FELONS.

The Chicago Post says that mo ieion
can be admitted to seat in Congress,
which means that no man connected
with the cause of the Confederate States
is.entitled to honor or respect. On the
other hand, says the Louisville Courier
the people of the South maintain that no
man who lived in the South during the
war, and for four years pretended that he
sympathized with the rebellion, and is
now willing to come up and take the IRON
clad oath, is fit to represent any honora-
BILE constituency. The men who were
true to a falling cause, when they could
have made their fortunes by going over
to the other side, when they pledge their
faith to the Government can be safely
trusted. They are men who have staked
their lives in vindication of their opin-
ions, and the man who calls them felons
is scoundrel who would dishonor a
felon's cell.

GOLD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

A gold mining company of Hartford,
CT, with capital of 100000, have
bought 1900 acres of land in the noun
tain district Of New Hampshire, and have
sunk a shaft seventy feet deep. They
claim to have taken out 900 tons Of
quartz, which they say yields from $40 to
$1,000 in gold per ton. New Hampshire
may possess gold, but it is quite strange
that the people of that State, who are
noted for their acuteness and industry,
should not have discovered it before now,
and that when the discovery is made,
Hartford, in another State, should reap
the benefit of IL.

BURBRIDGE.

OF Gen. BURBRIDGE, who committed SO
many atrocities while commanding in
Kentucky, the Maysville Eagle says
Hated by the people of his native State
whom he oppressed and robbed, despised
by the politicians, whose miserable in
strument he was, but who now shun his
society, with the money squandered in
vice which he extorted from peaceable
citizens as the price OF their liberty, the
ghosts of his murdered victims crying
out against him from their graves for
vengeance, let the wretch live on with
the terrible consciousness of his own
misdeeds as his only punishment, and as
an evidence that those who misuse a
short-lived power for purposes Of tyranny
and murder rarely profit by their crimes"

The North responds with Radlcel major.
tiles. Not an inch of ground has been
yielded by loyal votes and, III view OF
whatever good work may remain to be
done, the North is resolved to maintain
its standing army of loyal majorities.
The Herald remarks that the general
results of the late elections, from Massa-
chusetts to Missouri, are overwhelmingly
in favor Of the constitutional amend
ment as the ultimatum Of the victorious
North to the Southern States rescued
from the rebellion. This great issue Of
the conditions essential to the restora-
ton of said States is now fixed to the
end of President Johnson's term, in the
two-third Republican vote secured in
both the houses of Congress, as they now
stand, until the 18th of March, 1869. This
is the grand and all important lesson of
these November elections "a lesson
which the administration cannot safely
disregard, if so inclined, and which the
States unrecognized by Congress will do
to accept as their only alternative.
The extreme Radicals in the next
place have been emphatically admon-
ished in all these autumnal elections
from the Atlantic to the Pacific that their
revolutionary schemes of reconstruction
are utterly repugnant to the people of
the North, and therefore utterly imprac-
ticable.
The Commercial asserts that the ques-
ton at issue was the policy of recon-
struction and the decision is against the
policy of the President and in favor of
that of Congress. The people have vir-
tually ratified the amendment, and they
have virtually said to the South accept
these terms and come back to the Union
with loyal representatives. Congress, by
admitting the Tennessee members have
shown a willingness to affirm this method
Reconstruction, and the contact with
the people will strengthen them in this
conclution. 1t also shows that there is
feeling in favor of strong guarantees
from the South, and if the South should
turn its back upon the amendment, and
sulleuly fall back upon what it deems its
dignity, there are men in Congress who
will be stimulated to enact severer con-
ditions, or to reopen the closing wounds
made by the war
The Erening Post puts it in this light:
The Republican party, by these elections,
retains power for two years more. Mr..
Beecher said, very truly, that well man
aged, it might retain power for half
century; but to achieve that, or even to
keep the country with it during the next
two years, it needs to act prudently, to
put its ablest statesmen forward, to show
that it possesses moderation as well as
vigor, and that it knows of other inter-
ests in the country besides that on to
which all discussion has fixed it hitherto.

THE BURIAL OF LATINE.

During the recent visit of the editor Of
the Mssissippian to New York, he saw
a beautiful picture" the Burial of La
TINE, the Confederate Soldier" 1t rep
resented, says the editor, an open grave,
and near it bier, on which lay corpse
% a Confederate soldier, as was mani
fest from the uniform which was thrown
over the concealed figure. Around this
bier and this grave stood a group of per-
sons, the most conspicuous being a lady,
at the head Of the grave, in simple
matronly attire, with NEST serene and
noble face uplifted toward the sky, while
she held an open volume of the Common
Prayer. To her left we're several ladies
and very young girls, all with most
tender expressions of sadness and
grief upon their faces. To her right
was a group Of servants, women and
men, one of the latter of whom rested
upon the spade with which he had been
digging the new made grave. The whole
grouping was impressive. 1t was a rep
resentation of the burial of LATIYE.
Having once seen il, we felt sure that it
would be in our memory forever. The
wonderful Chickahominy raid conducted
by the gallant STUART, in the summer Of
1862, and known in current history as
1.-The ride around MCCLELLAN" was full
of peril and romance 1t gave General
STUART brilliant fame, which filed the
country, and excited the admiration Of
foreign lands The saddest incident in
this famous ride was the death of Capt
LATHE, Of the Essex cavalry, who was
killed near Hanover Court House.

message, Acknowledgements political sit

chewing political excitement, studiously
avoiding all conflict with authorities not
chosen by us, but placed over us, and
employing our active energies in re-
building our own waste places and de-
veloping our neglected resources. Whilst
others rage and wrangle over ephemeral
issues, let us be busy with the real, abb
ding concerns of life Thus shall we
emerge from this period of ostracism,
wiser, more thriving, and more respected
