within close limits, and postponed the
expenditure of the money that was
needed to save the Southern forts, but
this delay is not vet numbered among
the patriotic actions OF the unhappy
public functionary, as he was pleased TO
term himself.
Mr.. Seymour alleges that large part
of our expenses are incurred by sup
porting the Ereedmen's Bureau, or, as
he phrases 1t, 'to feed and clothe the
negro" This statement could hardly
have been made by mere mistake.
Every report of the Freedmen's Bureau
exhibits the fact that the charities OF
the nation, distributed by the officers
OF the Bureau. are largely absorbed by
the Impoverished whites OF the South.
We had either to aid them until they
gathered in crop, or see them perish
by the thousand and tens of thousands
in the agonies of famine and naked
ness. The cry TO help them came up
from every district of the South, from
our military officers and from former
rebels of every grade, and those who
relieved them are now accused of ex-
trayagauce and negrophilism. We
can afford tolOse every vote which such
appeals to prejudice and passion can
influence.

How THE FEET SHOULD BE CLAD.
Long shoes that lace close to the in

are the best. II the shoe is short and
loose, the foot presses forward, the toes
are cramped, then comes bad nails, or
other complaints are the consequence.
So far as remedies are concerned, there
are no remedies worth the time IL takes

surgeons, physicians, and drug dealers

WHINE Ohio refuses suffrage to her
handful OF negroes, there appears to be
growing willingness on the part of
some prominent Southerners, even of
the conservative" class, to concede po-
litical rights to the freedmen. We
copied, a few days since, portion of a
letter from Roger A. Pryor, in which
the propriety OF complete enfranchise-
ment WAS urged, not simply as mat
ter of expediency, but of right. Wade
Hampton, the last OF the chivaIry to
lay down his arms, and the candidate
for Governor OF those who thought
Governor Orr too we'll disposed towards
the Union, has written a letter, in which
he says:
"On late public occasion l ex-
pressed my perfect willingness to see
impartial suffrage established at the
South, and believe that this opinion
is entertained. not only, byiH large ma
jOrity of the Intelligent aud rejecting
whites, but also OF the same class
among the blacks. deprecate univer-
sal suffrage, not only on general prin
ciples, but especially IN the case before
MS, because Ideny the right of Congress
to prescribe the rules of citizenship in
the States. The Supreme Court has
decided that negro Is not a citizen oil
the United States, and Congress cannot
reverse that decision by an act. The
States, however, are competent TO con-
fer citizenship ON the negro. We. have
recognized the freedom of the blacks,
and have placed this fact beyond ali
probability of doubt, denial, or recall.
Let us recognize in the same frank
manner. and as fully, their political
rights. For myself, confess that 1 am
perfectly willing to see constitution
adopted by our State, conterriug the
cisely the same terms as it is 10 be ex-
ercised by the white man, guarding
against the abuse of this principle by
establishing a slight educatiOnal and
property qualification for all CLASSES"

PEOPLE unfamiliar with the ways of
the political world sometimes ask how
money raised for elections is spent.
Committees are not in the habit of pub
fishing full reports of their transactions,
but occasionally secrets will leak out.
We may divide the purposes for which
moneyfis tisbursed in carrying cleo
tions into two classes. We will call
them for convenience sake the whole
sale and the retail. The wholesale pur-
pose is legitimate one, the latter is
not. The former seeks to influence
men in masses by the employment OF
speakers to present the arguments, by
the publication of tracts, or by the cir
culation OF newspapers. The latter
strikes for the individual voter and
holds out personal inducement to
each to cast n particular ballot. The
Democratic Central Committe OF Penn
sylyania adopted the latter course, but
endeavored 10 veil its retail business
under wholesale guise. In ''pri-
vate" circular issued short time be-
fore the election occurs this paragraph
which shows great skill in the choice of
phrases, but whose meaning it is not
difficult to gather:
sin the very slow districts, would
suggest a special contract with active
men thus; In 1855 the district pOlled
100 Democratic votes; in 1865, l2o Dem
ocratic votes. Now, for every Demo-
cratic vote over u Ito polled, We will
pay you fixed sum the day after the
election. This is simply an incentive
10 bring men out, for the vote OF 1867
shows that they are there. See that
your agents have all Democrats as
sessed, naturaliZed and their taxes
paid. Let me know what 1 can do for
you. Send forward the lists rapidly"
