g- The registration returns in South
Carolina show the negroes to have a ma
jority of $4,000 in the State. This, of
| course, settles the question of colored Off

in the Convention, Legislature and other
political bodies of South Carolina, admits
of no doubt. ~
w The Iribune's special says: "The
President will keep quiet now till after the
fall elections. No Cabinet changes will
take place till after the Pennsylvania, Ohio
and New York elections. It is probable
that the President will suggest to District
Commanders that the elections at the
South should all take place on the same
day. JiIJ w o1olVLO "
gY By an act of the Nebraska Legisla-
ture, passed June "a, 1857, women of law
full age are allowed to vote at the district
school meetings. The first elections under
the law will be held in October The
Omaha Republican suspects the entering
wedge is thus driven for universal suffrage
in Nebraska. y Lucy Stone and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton had better look to it.
eB- The Albany Eueni,Y journal says
| that on the Gath the Hon. Horace Greeley
"packed up his duds," shook the dust of
the Constitutional Convention from off his
! feet, and left that body in disgust--accom-
panying his departure with an explosion
of epithets good deal more forcible than
polite. The especial occasion of this
divorce was supposed to be the refusal of
the Convention to accept his advice, and
come to vote ON the financial article at
once.J 9nfl2iaTU / 2JG9IJ In
W The first occasions of negro voting
in Tennessee and Virginia, under recon
struction, were at Memphis and Richmond
respectively, and In both cities the question
was non-political, viz: In Memphis, the
improvement of streets by Nicolson
pavement and in Richmond, a stbscrip-
ton to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
The Richmond Vhig, speaking of the
election in that city, accepts as an atspic
ious fact that the negro vote was " first
cast upon a great question of peaceful de
velopment," while the Dispatch and the
Examiner admit that the negroes voted
right, but object to them, having voted
at ALL, ,~r
eB In his speech at Syracuse, United
States Senator Conkling contended that if
it became evident that the President is de-
termined to obs.ruct the laws and there is
no way to restrain him save by the extra.
Constitutional expedient of q permanent
session of Congress, it will become the
duty of the nations representatives to
seek the only remedy that then remains.

resort. But if it becomes the alternative
for anarchy or autocraoy, the Republican
party will not hesitate to accept it..
Is The Copperheads of New York
have calculated on carrying that State this
fall on the prohibition and Sunday dicta-
ton issue. Having no prospect of success
on national questions, they have been in
dustriously pushing forward local ques
tons involving the right of the people to
enjoy public or private recreations and
pastimes, and to eat and drink what they
like on Sunday as well as on any other
day. They had reckoned confidently on
the Republican convention endorsing the
inquisitorial and impracticable scheme of
the prohibition advocates. But the con-
vention committed no such blunder, but
gave the Copperhead dead-fall a wide
berth, and resolved TO contest the field on
national grounds. 1t was unanimously
resolved "that no person should by law
be deprived of the right to public or pri-
vate recreation or pastime on any day of
the week; provided that no person in ex-
ercising this right shall violate public |
order and decorum, or the proper respect
due to public worship; and that the ex-
else law. and all other existing laws be
ameLded accordingly" This resolution |
