April 2, 1867.
To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:
| am writing this article for the purpose
of calling your attention, and through
your columns that Of the public generally,
10 an EXPRESSION so often heard now eSca-
ping the lips Of men from whom we might
expect better judgments, for il is an ex-
preston traught with the greatest danger
TO our community and TO our state were
the purpose ii contains carried into effect :
"If the negro is allowed to vote, shall
never go to the polls ag&in.'
These, MesSrs. Editors, are the words
which We hear now in every community,
al every gathering, on the roadside, and al
the corners.
Surely the men who have thus deter
mined have never given one moment ;
thought to the consequences were their
doctrine universally adopted, otherwise
they would at once perceive what mis-
taken idea they entertain as to what is due
to self-respect and true pride. Is 1t nobler,
more trustworthy, TO stand by idle and
see our State degraded, our rights diSre-
garded, our offices OF trust filled by men
who are more lit 10 rule ticndS in hell than
men on earth, than to struggle maniully
for selfprcservation, that we may live in
a:ety; that justice may be meted out t"
all that ruin may not stare us In the face
on every side that We may retain home
10 live at q house TO shelter us Surely
not. Then let us adopt the latter course,
though we may have to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the freedmen to cast our
votes.
The Acknowledgement of the negro was
neither our work nor our choice, but the
will of our cOnquerors, to which We must
acquieSce and where resistance is impoS-
sible, submission can neither be degrading
nor a shame therefore let us the un.
alterable situation, and be determined so
to act under all circumstances as will best
promote our welfare and the interest OF
our State. The best policy for US to adopt
is not only TO vote whenever there IS
choice to be made between bad and good
men, but TO exercise all the influence we
possess over the freedmen in persuadlng
them to follow our lead. Let US, by kind
words, lust treatment, and honest dealings
convince them that we are their best
friends, and natural instinct will soon teach
them that "home-folks are yet to be
trusted more than these Yankees who
lust come here to tell them all sorts of lies
Just TO get their money and their vote"

An Editor on tho S,and-'mpar'i"i suffrage
in the Nor,h--Thc Temperance hc'or"'' ~
WASHINGTON, April 3, 1861.
The subcommittee on the judiciary
have not relaxed their energy In searching
mn impeachment evidence; but, on 'ne
contrary. continue at work with the sauio
vicor TIA, characterized its members eve.
n ,ba nalmiest DAYS of the impeaclliuoa'
fever. The idea certainly Is 10 NV .
tors ready for an emergency, a"u 1o"s.

nssnr.;on made by Butler recently with
roGercnce TO the pardon of number
Of descrters, so that they might vote
the Democratic ticket at an election
in Western Virginia, was thought fitting
source of proving the political principles
Of Mr.. johnson, and in furtherance of that
object the editor of the Constitutional
Union of this city Colonel Florence) was
before the committee on Friday last, ana
responded to several questions from mehi-
bcrs of the committee to the elect tha'
the President was not the author oil any
thing which had appeared in the columns
of that journal, which is one OF the SertO'S
charges brought against him. Several OF
the extreme impeachment men are sun
here, suggesting and regulating the cohduc'
of the committee; but everywhere !'oo II
Is conceded that their favoritc idea Is eX-
tipct SO far as its resurrection al inc heA'
meeting of Congress is concerned.
The principle of impartial Suffrage III
the northern States is daily growing III
favor with the Radicals, who, all through
the last session, were afraid TO moot II.
They attribute their defeat in Connecticut
TO the absence of any such law, and fear
for the other States. The election which
occurs in Rhode Island to-day eXcites no
interest. 1t will, OF course, 60 Republican:
but there are many who really are not
aware that this was the day for the State
election. The result will be one out of
which the Republicans will be able to make
no capital.
Notwithstanding the Senate refused to
confirm the appointment of }. &. u. Ken
nedy as Commissioner in the Agricultural
Bureau. Mr.. Newton will not be retained
in that position. Several candidates
some of them strong Radicals-are on the
ground, and it is probable that one VIII be
appointed who can receive the approVal ol
the Senate before the week is over.
There are indications that the tempe
rance movement which has been inaugu-
rated as Republican party measure Will
not be carried out any further. Already
the fever is on the wane, and their politi-
clans saw that il will kill the party to
tackle on any such moral principles as
that. 1t would do, perhaps, in New Eng
land; but in the West the people think
differently. The only strong feature III
the Radical platform is the inevitable
negro; and as he is about used mp, and
impeachment is dead, the fortunes OF the
party are dying fast. TIMoN.

NAM vv,tb the President.

In THE STATESMAN this morning, we re-
produce from the columns of the Nea0 York
Citizen. of the 23d inst. detailed CONVEX
sation between President JOHNSON and the
writer. We ask for it perusal. The views
expressed by the President are worthy of
all commendation. Truthfully does he say
that the Constitution as it exists is adequate
for all purposes, and his arraignment of the
Military Reconstruction bill is most just.
"It violates the constitutional provision
guaranteeing Republican form, of Gov
ernment, and substitutes military despot-
ism over the lqtely revolted States. 1t dis
franchises nearly all the intelligent
Whites, and gives universal suffrage to the
ignorant Blacks, thus overriding the pro-
vision that each State shall determine who
shall be entitled to its suffrage. 1t also
utilities the Constitutional Amendments,
by practically declaring the existing Gov
ernment of the Southern States illegal, so
that their adoption of the Amendments
must be without validity" The circum-
stance that .'all legislation proposed for the
South, proposes to maltSply Offices at the er-
pense of the General Government, soEile not dd-
ding the productions of Southern industry to
the general stock for the redemption Of our Ma
tioRGl debt and the support Of our Gnnxat bur-
dens," should attract the attention of our
people, who are now taxed to a point al
most beyond endurance.

Eating Dirt.

At the last session of Congress, Hon.
COLUMBUS DELANo, who is prominently
mentioned in connection with the Republi-
can nomination for Governor, in his place
in Congress. publicly denounced the poll
cy of the Radicals toward the people of the
South IS being more oppressive and detest-
able than the rule of Great Britain over
dOwn-trodden Ireland. This same CoLUM-
BUS DELANo, in his place in Congress, on
the present scheme of the Radicals to rule
the Southern States with the sword.
Is Mr.. DELANo eating this dirt to propiti-
ate the Radicals and secure a seat in the
next Congress against the plainly expressed
wishes of the people of his district or, is
he thus stultifying himself to secure the
support of the Radicals for the Guberna-
torial nomination? 1t can scarcely be for
the latter purpose, since in the same
speech to which we have referred he pro-
claimed himself in favor of universal suf-
frage, and the Republican Legislature, now
= in session in this city, does not deem the
universal suffrage question sufficiently
popular to justify them in submitting the
proposition to vote of the people of the
State. .3
i, There are men in the State who would
not have believed, one year ago, that Co.
LUMBUs DELANo could ever be capable of
thus violating his well known convictions
of right and duty for official position. But
who can be Republican and be consistant
in principle?

A Protest Against the Cupidity of
1f. New EnRland.

T. The Pittsburgh Commercial is protection
ist organ OF the most inveterate kind. 1t
has just entered strong protest against
the selfishness of New England protection
lists, who warp and use legislation to SUBJ
serve the interests of their own section ex-
clusiyely. 1t demands of them that they
be more generous to the manufacturers of
other sections. Perhaps after awhile there
will be a general realization that the poll
ticians of the dominant party in New Eng
land are Just about as selfish as men possi-
bly, can be, and that they will make out of
the people of other sections hewers of
wood and drawers OF water for them, Just
as long as it is in their power to do SO. TE--

The Republican Members of the
Legislature DOnning the White
Feather.
Despite the urging of the Radicals, of
the Reserve and the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaf; despite the fact that the Republican
members of Congress have committed the
Republican party in favor of negro suff-
rage; only thirty-eighthR Republican mem
bers of the Ohio Legislature coul
muster courage on Tuesday afternoon
tokvote in favor of the joint resolu-
ton amending the constitution of the State
so as to allow negroes to vote. For the
Whites in the District of Columbia; for the.
Whites in the South, and for the Whites in
the Territories, Negro Suffrage is just the
Nthing, and without it there is for them no
political salvation; but it is not the thing
for Ohio. After this exhibition Of coward
ice onsthe part of Ohio Republicans to ex-
emplify their faith in the Negro, we hope
we shall hear no more about the Democrats
being opposed to Negro Suffrage on the
score of comprehension that if the Ne
groes are allowed to vote, the Negroes
will rise superior to them. Did the Re-
publican members in the Legislature
who voted against this proposition so vote
because they were fearful the Negroes
would rise superior to them if they should
be elevated to the distinguished position
of voters3 The Republicans, after this ex-
hibition of want Of pluck, had better shut
up shop and call upon their Grand Army of
the Republic to dispose of their arms and
ammunition, and cease to talk about down.

Avowedly, the purpose of the Grand

but simply an Organization, invested with
the charm of secrecy, "to promote the

all legitimate and proper influences, the
general welfare and interests of the sol

just seen the original letter of which the

am directed to forward to the Army at

fifty (l50) of the approved breech leaders
for the use OF your encampment, which
shall be subject to your order.
Please sign, the above receipts and re-

A. s. KRIMKLE,
Chief of Ordnance Department of Ohio.
The foregoing letter was mailed at Napo-
leon to a'gentleman now in this city. The
presumption is, that "approved breech-
leaders" have been forwarded to all the
Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic.
There is here in Columbus a credited re-
port that within two or three days, there
have beenissqed 1900 fixed cartridges from
the Headquarters of the Grand Army of the
Republic at this place. Can satisfactory
explanation be given for all this? Is this
warlike preparation necessary "to promote
the cause of active loyalty? ?'' Is this one
of the Legitimate and proper influences -
that is requisite to contribute to ''the gen.
eral welfare and interests of the soldiers
lately in the U. S. Army?" Would not
"care for. the interests Of the widows and
orphans of our fallen comrades - be better
shown by the conversion of the funds in-
vested in "approved breech-loaders" and
in fixed cartridges, into food and raiment
for the INDECENT " widows and orphans of
