The Jehnsou. stanton Isbrosiio-The New
Issue Of southern Negro Supremacy.
The rupture between President johnson and
the refractory and defiant Secretary Of War,
considered in connection with recent events
and developments bearing upon Southern re-
construction, brings forward the new issue Of
Southern negro supremacy into bold relief. 1t
Is morally certain that under the stringent
anti-rebel and universal negro suffrage policy
Of reconstruction now pursued in the South
the ten excluded States will be reorganized and
reinstated in Congress by the predominant
negro vote. Let us see what is the inevitable
drift Of this business, as now progressing, from
the facts and figures befbre US.
From the registration of voters completed In
Louisiana the blacks have o recorded ma
jority Of over forty thousand, and a. none but
registered voters are to be admitted to the cleo
tons for the State reorganization, the blacks,
counting all the registered whites against them,
will have the State by forty thousand majority;
for we may safely assume that they will all come
up to the polls. But as they will be supported
and managed by considerable number, say
from fifteen to twenty thousand radical whites,
they will probably carry through the recon
struction elections Of Louisiana by Afty, sixty
or scventy-fve thousand majority. This, II
Sheridan's registration is to be adhered to, is
simple matter Of arithmetic for the Ten
ncssee election establishes the essential fact
that the Southern blacks are en- masse with the
republican party and with Its EXTREMIST radi-
Gals. In Virginia, shorn Of the new State of
West Virginia, there Is, perhaps, allowing for
the losses Of the war, an aggregate population
of eight hundred and nfsy thousand, Of which
the whites have . majority Of perhaps one
hundred and fry thousand. But under the
rebel acknowledgements Of the reconstruction
laws Of Congress, and universal negro suffrage,
and the disgust OF many Of the whites, the radi-
Gals boast that they are sure Of the State, ac-
cording TO the books Of registration, BY some
thirty thousand majority. We dare say, too,
that they are not very wide Of the mark in their
calculations. They are equally sanguine Of
securing North Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabams, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas,
with the solid negro vote. An for South Caro-
lima, with its aggregate population Of seven
hundred thousand, made up Of four hundred
thousand blacks against three hundred thousand
