Tue COLORED SUFFRAGE AMENDENT is vo-
ted down in Ohio by near fifty thousand major
ity. Cur colored friends can thus learn how
much their Northern friends really care
for them, and what is the value Of their
professions There are only six thousand or
seven thousand colored males, 81 years old in
Ohio, and this is the verdict on colored suffrage.
We know the colorcd orator says that the
Radical party stands by us. We reply the
Radical party loses its majority wherever it
advocates colored suffrage in the North. And
we,reply that the people OF Ohio, call them
what you will, have rcpudiated cclored
suffrage by fifty thousand majorlty-and the
people of the whole North will do the same
thing We advise our intelligent colored
friends to think about this matter. = Lharl0ttes-

FOREIGN News Dispatches have been re-
ceived from Paris which state that affairs in
Italy are very grave. 1t is the general belief
that the whole nation will follow Garihaldi in
his efforts to restore Rome to Italy. King
Victor Emanuel, it is said, will soon pass The
Roman frontier, and proclaim Rome as part
Of the Italian kingdom.
The London Times denies that Earl Derby
has resigned his position as head Of the Minis
try, or that he contemplates doing so.
The North German Gazette, semi official
organ, and which is believed to reflect in some
degree the views Of Count Won Bismarck, says
that it is firmly convinced Of the sincerity Of
the French Emperor desire for peace.
A bill for aboIishing the Concordat has been
introduced in the Austrian Reichsrath. The
ground that the Concordat is q treaty.
1t is stated that the liabilities of Messrs
Cam pbell & Son, who were recently announced
as having failed will reach g250,000 sterling.
The Fenian alarm stillcontinucs. The police
Yesterday made 4 descent on an establishment
which was used Us the headquarters of the
Feoian Brotherhood, in Liverpool, and arrest
ed six persons accused of Fenianism. A rising
war feared at Limerick, but the precautions
taken by the Government prevented it.
Much fault is found with the selection Of
Edward Thornton, Minister to Brazil, to rep
resent Great Britain to Washington. The
opinion generally expressed is, that none but a
diplomatist of the highest rank should be sent
to the United States
The apprehensions of another Fenian land
ing, caused by the reports that suspicious
vessels have been seen off Kerry and other
portions Of the Irish coast, are subsiding. The
vessels which have been guarding the southern
and eastern coasts of the island for some time
past, will soon be withdrawn, with the excep-
lion of one or two iron-cads. i!s

made q speech in Chattanooga, in which
be challenged Gov. Brownlow to publish
or authorize the parties holding them to
publish certain confidential letters Of his
-" in regard to the assistance he would
have given the Southern Confederaey."
And he particularly specified letter to
the late Gen. Polk, promising to aid the
rebellion as soon as he could do so with
decency, and letters Of similar purport
to Robertson Topp and Jeptha Fowlkes
Brownlow has published two numbers Of
his paper since this speech was made, but
he does not even allude to the matter
Does not this fact show that Brownlow
had committed himself to the secession
cause by writing the letters which Col
James in effect charges he did write ?
