WEATHER.-If any of our readers were
of the opinion that general thaw was
at hand, we presume the temperature OF
yesterday cased the idea to vanish. Old
Boreas did his best yesterday, and gave
us a first class winter day.

SINGuLAR1T1Es OF SUFFRAGE A nice
commentary upon the Radical demand for
impartial suffrage in the South is found in
the fact that only eight Of twenty-five States
controlled by the Radicals permit such sut-
frage. OF the New England States Connec-
ticut is the only one that refuses the ballot
to cclored men: Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont make no distinction whatever
in respect to suffrage, but Massachusetts
and Rhode Island do. The laws of Nlassa-
chuetts requires the voter to be able to read
the Constitution Of the United States in the
English language and to write his name
Rhode Island likewise INDUCES in little
now-Nothingism in its suffrage law, by de-
claring that every native male citizen may
vote. In New York negroes with certain
qualifications are allowed to vote that is,
such as are worth two hundred and fifty dol
lars, and have been in the State three years.
In Wisconsin negroes are allowed to vote by
virtue of decision by the Supreme Court
Of that State upon technically. In Ohio
the greater part Of the negroes vote. although
the law gives the ballot only to those who
have more than half white blood. Darkeys
who are black as charcoal can vote there in
the Radical districts under the half-white law.
In nearly all Of the other States, however,
the Radicals have declined, by tests in popu-
lar elections, to give the negroes that which
they SO strenuously insist the Southern peo-
pie shall give them. Ne0 York SIN.

CHARCOAL FOR FATTENING TURKEYs--"I
have made an experiment" says writer,
Gin feeding charcoal to fattening turkeys,
and the result surprised me. Four turkeys
were confined in a pen and fed on meal,
boiled potatoes and oats. -Four others of the
same brood were also, at the same time, con-
fined in another pen and fed on the same ar
ticles, but with one pint of very finely pull
verified charcoal mixed with their food
mixed meal and boiled potatoes, They had
also plentiful supply of broken charcoal in
their pen. The eight were killed on the same
day, and there was difference of one and
half pounds each in favor of the fowls which
had been supplied with the charcoal, they
being much the fatter and the meat greatly
superior in point of tenderness and favor

LETTER FROM GEN. JOSEPH r. JOHNSTON.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston of the late Confed
crate army, publishes in the Selma GALA
bama) Messenger, letter of five columns
correcting certain statements contained in
Prof. Dabneys Life of Stonewall jackson,
and correcting sundry errors in its report of
events at and after the first battle of Bull
Run. He says that the reason why the Fed
eral army was not pursued after that battle
by the victorious Confederate cavalry, was
that the cavalry (of which they had but a
small force) was driven back by the strong
rear guard of the United States army, and
that it would have been utter madness to
rush upon the Notifications on the Virginia
side of the Potomac, which were strong and
heavily armed, especially, as a river mile
wide would have still interviewed between
them and the capital, which they had no means
of crossing. Gen. Johnston says the victory
of Bull Run saved the Confederacy, which
was all it could reasonably have been expect
ed to do. Most of the Rebel troops regard
ed it as deciding the whole question and end
ing the war, and thousands of them left the
army and went home. The Union army, he
says, was &c less disorganized by defeat than
the Confederate army by its triumph"
