SUFFRAGE In NEW JERSEY.

A, report has been presented to the
New Jersey Legislature, by Mr.. Murphy,
of Newark, in favor of change in the
State constitution by striking out the
words white and male" thus confer
ring upon the women and negroes the
right of suffrage. There seems to be a
strong feeling on the part of many mem
bers of the House, both Democrats and
Republicans, to strike out the word
white, but not to entail upon the women
the duty of going to the polls.

President Lincoln once told a friend
that the secret Of power as public
speaker is for the orator always TO assume
that bis audiercs is wiser than be is, and
therefore to say the most sensible thing
he can; the people viii not misunder-
stand it Hisa great mistake that many
men make when they think that the mass
Of the people are ignorant The people
generally know quite as much as those
who profess to lead them.

RADICAL BENEYoLENCE.

The Radicals are boasting of their
benevolence, and adduce as evidence of
its existence the fact Of Radical Con-
gress having "voted million to keep
the South from starving" But they say
never word about the millions the South
has paid and continues to pay into the
Treasury of the Government in which
they have no title of voice or represen-
tation. This is benevolence with ven
geance

LIBERAL SOUL.

Mr. Upton, the new Senator from the
State of Nebraska, made his debut in the
United States Senate the other day by
opposing a vote of thanks to George Pea
body for his donation of two millions of
dollars to aid the cause of education in
the South. Mr.. Upton couldn't vote for
it until he knew how Mr.. Peabody stood
during the rebellion. They have some
very liberal and large-minded men in the
West, we presume, but they don't send
them all 10 Congress.

GENERAL PRICE.

A Missouri paper says: ION FriSey
of last week, by some means, the report
was circulated that Pap Price, late
General in the rebel army, would pass up
the North Missouri railroad on his way
to Columbia, and preparations were &C
cordingly made to receive him by his
rebel friends. At the depot in this place
we learn that about two hundred of them
congregated, among whom was the Mex
leo silver cornet band, playing Prices
Grand March, and other similar airs, on
the arrival of the train. At Centralia,
in Boone county, similar scene was
enacted-the 'graybacks of Boone and
Monroe being assembled in full force.

This mountain of flint rock rises on the
western shore Of Moosehead Lake about 800
feet high from the water level. 1t is situated
twenty miles from GreenvilIe, about midway
of the lake. The water at It's base is said
to have been sounded 1900 feet and no bot
tom found. Be that as it may, this upheaval
of flint rock Is singular formation, and pre-
sents bold and imposing front to those who
pass up and down the lake in the steamboat
on a raft of lumber, or in smaller craft. The
name, Kineo, is musical, as Indian names gen.
orally are when properly pronounced. Some
two years ago when we visited this lake. we
felt quite a curiosity to learn the meaning ol
the name the Indians had given this smgu-
