PUBLIC LEDGER.
AFTER THE IRI,H.

The negroes of Brooklyn, New York,
have held a meeting to demand their
rights. They claim to be members Of
the Radical party, and as such, demand
seats in the meetings and conventions.
They declare their complete eufranchise-
ment is necessary to cut down the ma
jority of forty.nine thousand in the city
of New York. They are Disguised with
their leaders, and speak Of them in no
moderate terms. Rev. Mr.. Williams
(colored) delivered speech denuncia-
tory of the Republican leaders in this
country. The speaker called them hypo-
critics, and said they acted towards the
black man like sneak thieves; he was
peculiarly eloquent when speaking of the
deceit of the Republican party, and he
said that the only checkmate for the
Irishmans vote in this country was the
black mans Acknowledgement The del
egation from New York is two-thirds
radical. The State is radical, the people
are radical, will force negro suffrage on
the South, but exclude the negroes from
equal privileges az home. A bill Is now
before the radical Legislature Of Miehi-
gan declaring in effect, that drop of
negro blood in mans veins, shall ex-
clude him from the ballot.box. Yet,
Michigan demands that negroes in the
South, black as the ace of spades, shall
vote, and other people, whose skins are
white as snow, shall be excluded. If the
undyihg enemy of man, who persecutes
the immortal soul from the cradle TO the
grave of the body that contains 1t, had
constructed platform for the ruin OF
this county, he could not have contrived
one better adapted to his ends than that
now enforced by the statesmen who gov
ern America But the point we set out
to make is, that the negroes Of the North
are to be used to put down the Irish The
antagonism is,bitter, and may result in
disorder occasionally. There is one re-
source, however, for the patent negro
elevators. Why can not the Radicals
disfranehise the Irish in the North Let
them study the tactics of Brownlow, and
give up their old fogy ideas of equal
rights for all men. Surely, ifTennessee
can disfranchise eighty thousand citi-
zens, New York can take the ballot
from one hundred thousand Irishmen.
If the Northern States find that they
have not sufficient colored population for
their uses, let them take enough from the
South We will freely contribute for
that purpose But the truth is, our rad
ical elevators, will not have anything to
do with the colored people, beyond Sc
curing their votes, and they begin to un-
derstand this. 1t is beautiful mess,
the way the thing now appears. May it
grow in beauty and enhance in odor, till
the end comes.

THE DISTRICT COMMANDERS.

WASHINGTON, March l0.-A report has
been telegraphed from this city to several
leading journals North and South, that a
difficulty or controversy has taken place
in the Cabinet relative to the appoint
ment of military commanders under the
new reconstruction act. lam authorized
TO saw that there is not one word OF
truth in the above report; nor IS there
any doubt that the members OF the
Cabinet will agree with the President in
the selection of commanders for the five
Districts Upon more careful reading
of the act, it is found that the law does not
require that the commanders shall be
of the regular army. The terms simply
direct that these officers shall be selected
from the army, and not be of lower grade
than Brigadier General Under this
CONSTRUCTION Gen. Sickles, who is Major
General of the army, would be eligible,
though his grade in the regular army is
that of Colonel, and there is reason to
believe that be will be one of the five
commanders to be- selected He will
probably supply the position suggested
for Gen. Mcdowell, who was named in
my first dispatch on this subject As
matter now stands, the officers for com
mand of districts will be Generals Sher.

the Jamaica Ginger, has become one of the most
popular domestic remedies for all diseases of the
stomach and digestive organs.
AS tonic, it will be found invaluable to all
persons recovering from debility, whether pro-
duced by fever or otherwise, for whilst it imparts
to the system all the glow and vigor that can be
produced by wine or brandy, it is entirely free
from the reactionary efforts that follow the use
Of spirits of any kind
1t is also an excellent remedy for females who
suffer from difficult menstruation, giving almost
immediate relief to the spasms that so frequent
ly accompany that period.
1t gives immediate relief to Nausea, caused BIZ
riding in a railroad car, or by sea-sickness, or
other causes. 1t is also valuable as an external
application for Gout, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, etc.
