NEGRO SUFFRAGE,

Let the people of Pennsylvania bear in
mind that the Republican State Convention
recently held in Williamsport, lodged the
question Of Negro Suffrage. During the
last hour Of the Convention, Mr.. Newlin, a
delegate from Philadelphia, offered reso.
luton in favor Of impartial Suffrage, -
which resolution was referred to the appro.
pirate committee without debate; and Il,
the bosom Of that Committee IL no,o rests
the convention having adjourned without q
report on the resolution being made. The
conve ntion was AFRAID to face ths music.
It may do for the abolitionists to cram
negro suffrage down the throats Of the
people Of the subjugated South, but they
ore not quite prepared to attempt the thing
with the sturdy ycomaury Of Pennsylvania.
This attempt, however, may be made soon.
Let the people watch and work.

sURRATT's TRIAL.

The evidence for the prosecution in this
case has closed. To the minds Of unpreju.
diced, thinking men, there is no evidence IA
connect this young man with the killing Of
Lincoln. He may have been, at some time,
connected with plot to carry off the old
gentleman and keep him concealed until
something would turn up" but that plan
seems to have been abandoned, after which
isdoss not appear that Surratt had anything
to do with any conspiracy Of any kind The
defence opened on Monday, and it is expect.
cd that it will be shown that Surratt was
away from Washington at the time Lincoln
died, and had no connection with the party
who shouted so be It to all tyrants, on the
boards Of Ford's Theatre.

It was coppcrhcad prediction that to free
the slaves was to incite to murder and every
ether crime. But the prediction has not
yet been verified. Since their freedom the
blacks have behaved themselves peacefully,
and are, for the most part, industrious citi-
zens, needing only education to make them
ten fold more valuable to the society Of which
they form part.-RepuJiican.
Has not been verified? Look at the case
Of Mrs. Long, who was brutaily ravished
and then murdered, in her own house, last
month, in North Carolina, by three negroes.
hook at the case Of Miss Weston, an edr,
Gated and highly refAed young lady Of
Georgia, who was lately dragged off her horse
while taking an evening ride, by four negro
soldiers attached to the Frecdmcu's Bureau
and kept by them two days and three
nights in swamp, and subjected to sici
pollution as makes the Imagination revolt.
We might continue this horrid catalogue,
but We reflect THAI littls, good caa be done
to CUR readers by giv;sg details so disgusting
% human nature. When Dr. John says
that the negroes since their freedom have
behaved themselves peacefully, he either is
ignorant of the facts, or is attempting tc
deceive his readers.
