The democratic state convention of Penn
sylvania, assembled at Harrisburg on the
18th instant, passed resolution opposing an
amendment to the constitution of the state
so as to give negroes the privilege of voting.
From this, sundry republican newspapers
have inferred that the democracy as ma.
tional party is opposed to the extension Of
Suffrage to negroes. 1t would be just as
reasonable to inferthat because in any state
where the republicans are in power the
blacks are excluded from the ballot the par
ty as whole is opposed to giving them the
elective franchise.
The position of the democracy onthis ques
ton is plain. They insist that every state
shall determine for itself who shall bevoters
If Pennsylvania does not want negroes tt

vote in that state. Sumner says there are ne

Judge Trumbull, of this state, who has

The effect of the late state election in
Connecticut has been very salutary in the
way of infusing little decency into aradical
legislature. President johnson, it is known,
is about to visit Boston to aid in Masonic
ceremony, and it is telegraphed that both
houses of the Connecticut legislature have
passed resolutions of welcome to him. This
is quite astonishing. Last summer the radi'
Gals at the capitals Of Indiana and Illinois
hooted him down and would not permit him
to speak. Connecticut elected democratic
governor last spring, and streak of decen
CT seems to have come over the radicals Of
that state. Let US try, next year, to cleo
democratic governors in Illinois and Indians
and see if it would not inspire the radicals
of Indianapolis and Springfield with a LITTLE
decency.

Friday and Saturday last, travelling twenty
miles an hour for nearly two days, must have
extended at least five hundred miles in q
southwest direction. 1t is easy to see that a
general warning of this and all other storms
could be given several hours in advance by
means of the telegraph and csnnon.
This storm was not as heavy, and did not
last as long, as many that occur during har
vest, and yet if it had come on in the midst
of harvest, with large quantities of grain and
hay cut down, the damage would have been
very great, amounting to millions of dollars
most of which could be saved at a very tri
fling cost by the general adoption of the fol
lowing simple plan
When a storm commences in any part Of
the country, and is travelling in a certain di
rection, the first telegraph station over which
it passes is to send the news Immediately tt

The Chicago Times says that most of the

it incumbent on them to growl because the

reason for growing, excepting that it is
loyal habit whenever any loyal person hap
pens to be choked off from the public teat
In the case of this military state agency
at Washington, there never has been any
use or occasion for it. The governor says
the agent has never received much pay; but
whatever he has received has been more
than his services were worth. 1t is hard to
wean loyal nurseling, bat it has to be done
occasionally, for the public good.
