Nom WoRDs.-Lot N. Morrill,, in his speech
in the U. S. Senato in defense of the District of
Columbia Suffrage Bill, gave utterance to the
following truthful sentiments -" We have put
aside the creed of the despot, the monarchist,
the aristocrat, and have affirmed the right and
capacity of the people to govern themselves, and
have taken the national life on the issue to make
it good in practice. Not that every man of all
races or of any race or people is capable of wise
administration of public affairs, legislation, or
Interpretation of the laws but that the aggre-
gate public virtue and intelligence of political
communities is the safest basis of government.
The masses may be trusted to select their rulers.
To deny any portion Of the American people
civil political rights common to the citizen
upon pretence of race or color is to ignore the
fundamental principles of republicaniSm.

A SURRATr WITNESS TURNED Up.
MIR John p. Brophy, who lately
resigned his position as Secretary
to Admiral Dahlgren, on the Pacific
squadron, and returned to Washing

that the distance and want of facil
tiles for communication made it i'm
possible for him to know what was
going on here in the matter Of Su-

ed to be an important witness for
the prisoner; but as soon as he acer-

A FLINT P1ANo.-A curious nov
city has been brought to London
and is about to be exhibited to the
public. It consists of a remarka-
ble-looking piano made Of Aints
suspended from an iron frame, which
are struck with short flint to pro-
duce the notes. The fints arc
about forty in number, and elong-
ated, but of various lengths and
thicknesses. They are arranged in
the order of their tone, and the la
Dor and investigation of years were
required before the complete scale
was formed. The tones are unlike
those of any known instrument, as
may be readily comprehended by
any one who knows the ring of a
piece of flint, and possess sharp
ness that renders the ring peculiar,
though by no means unpleasing.
The flints are. many Of them, very
peculiar in form, and it would be q
matter of no small difficulty to frame
any coherent theory Of the causes
of the variety of tones observable,
for they are by no means in the
exact ratio of-the size or weight of
the DETERRENT flints.

The Results of II Rule,
The fruits of Radicalism may be
briefly summed up as follows;
All law set at dafiance

The fruits of Radicalism may be
briefly summed up as follows:
All law set at defiance.
The legally elected Governors re-
moved at the will of irresponsible
satraps.
White men disfranchised and re-
duced below the level of the negro.
Brainless, stolid, semi savage
blacks invested with the rights of a
citizenship which they are totally
incapable of appreciating, or exer-
cising with judgment.
Immense tracts of country relaps-
ing into the wilderness, and the
most fertile plantations abandoned
for want of laborers.
A huge poor house system that
breeds idleness and pauperism and
utter decentralization among the So
called "wards Of the nation" whose
emancipation is the preliminary step
to their determination.
Murders and outrages, sanctioned
and encouraged by miscreants and
monsters like Brownlow and Flctch
er, sustained by cpauletted accom-
plices and ruffians.
National banks that plundcr and
rob the people of from twenty or
thirty millions of dollars per year.
The expcnditure Of one hundred
and fifty millions of dollars per year
for the support ola standing army,
exclusive of the cost of the other
portions Of our governmental machine
ry.
A Congress of reckless, despotic.
purjured partisans, whose principal
acts are violations Of the Supreme
law from which they derive their
authority and which they have SOL
emnly sworn to support.

How Louisiana was Made q
Negro Republic.

In 1860 there was only $4,000
negroes in New Orleans, free as
slaves. There were $50, 900 whites.
Now, under the radical policy and
manipulation, there are only forty
more white voters in New Orleans
than black. In the State there
were 347, 600 negroes, and it is es-
timated that by disease and priva-
tions at least one-third of them
have died, reducing their numbers
to $50, 900. But General Shcri-
dan has found in these $50, 600 ne
grocs SO, registered voters, or
one voter to every three inhabit-
ants. This. it will be admitted, is
pretty tall voting. The white pop
ulation is greater than the negro
in the State or at least is not in
ferior to it, yet only 100000 whites
have been registered to so, ne
groes. 1t is by such gross and pal.
pable frauds, perfected under the
rule'of Sheridan, that Louisiana has
been handed over to the negroes, in
whom has been vested its entire po-
litical control Cincinnati Enqui-
rer.

Importance Of the Coming
Ele CtiOnS.

On the elections this fall may de-
pend the crisis of our country's fate.
They may determine the question
whether we arc to have a united
country under a common Constitu-
tion, guaranteeing equal rights and
liberty to all the States and all the
citizens thereof, or whether we are
to have onethird of the States blottcd
from existence, and the whole coun-
try consolidated under one central
despotism, and ruled and enslavcd
by a bonded aristocracy.
On the result of the elections this
fall, we may confidently predict,
will, in great measure, depend the
result of the Presidential campaign
next year. That election will prob
ably seal the fate of our country for
veal or for woe for generations, if
not for centuries, to come. Should
the Radical Disunionists and Des-
pots succeed in that election, we
may bid farewell to the hope Of a
speedy restoration Of the Union, to
liberty and prosperity, and to all
expectation of relief from the bur-
dens under which the people grcan.
Such being the case, no man who
values the prosperity ef his country,
its liberty and free institutions,
should fail to cast his vote and use his
utmost influence in the elections
this fall to secure the triumph of the
party in favor of a speedy restora-
tion of the Union, of maintaining in
all their vigor the guarantees Of lib
crty and equal rights in the Federal
Constitution, and of light taxes, and
an economical administration of the
government. If the mass of the people
will but vote according to their hon
est convictions of right. the country
may yet be savcd.-Cleveland Plain

Negro supremacy.

A negro Of New Orleans, La,
named Brown, has addressed a let
ter to the New Orleans Times, from
which the following is an extract !:
eve intend to show to this city,
State and the world tina. we arc ca
pable of governing, not only our
selves, but white men. My former
master (and he was good man)
told me that white men would gov
ern, take care of and protect the
niggers, because God gave them the
right and made it their duty 50 to
do. We are willing to do the same
by you. We shall have no use for
Goldman or NAPLES, or any of their
class after our next election. 1t is
not an easy matter to disfranchise
us after we have the elective fran
chise. Hancock will be powcrless
for evil if we only keep up our Sc
cret political organization. We have
commenced organizing our FIRE de-
partment, and one year will find the
$12O, 600 per year now paid to white
frcmcn transferred to worthy recon-
structcd citizens of African decent.
In few years it will not be qucs-

The Government.

The old Washington GLOBE, the
newspaper organ of General Jack.
sons administration, bore at its
head the motto:
"TuE WORLD IS GOVERNED TOO
Much" AT the present time this
country is governed too much: In
former days the National authority
was confined to three departments
the Legislative, the Executive
and the Judicial-each of which
departments had appropriate and
distinct duties to perform. Until
lately, these different departments,
keeping in it's own sphere, perform
ing it's own duties, and not med
ding with the work Of others, or
either of them, have been carried
on smoothly and tremendously.
Recently, mems minds have be.
come unsettled by a great war, and
one department of the Government,
the Legislative, or a Congress from
which one third of the States are
excluded, is drawing to itself more
power than legitimately belongs to
it. The present Congress is striv'
ing to take from the President GER
tain powers that the Constitution
confdes to him and him alone. The
merits or demerits of the present
President have nothing to do with
the question. The Constitution
must be obeyed, and that instru
ment prescribes the functions Of
each department Of the Govern
ment. The power of the natior
consists in the purse and the sword
Congress holds the purse and ii
grasping the sword. The Southern
States are now under military gov
ernments, which it is claimed. arr
subject to Congress alone-and il
those states the DEGREES Of the U
, S. Courts are suspended by the or
der Of Brigadier General.

who was Right!

Some of the most sagacious and
patriotic men in the country de-
clared, during the late struggle,
that the war would not result in a
restoration of the Union; while 9TH
ers denounced such men as traitors
and affirmed that the war would
not only restore the Union, but
that war only was the true means
of restoration. Well, the war ter
minated in the complete triumph Of
the federal arms, and every obsta-
Gle to restoration, so far as the
war could accomplish it, was re-
moved. And now we ask, is the
Union restored? Has the war res
tored the Union, as we were told
it would? On the contrary, have
not the obstacles to a restoration of
the Union, under the Constitution.
been increased rather than dimin-
ished! We were told, also, that
the object of the war was to en-
force the Constitution; but instead
of enforcing the Constitution upon
the people of the South, it is now
denied both to them and the peo-
pie of the North. Instead of en-
forcing the constitution the Radi-
calls in Congress habitually disre-
gard it themselves, and are using
every artifce in their power to des-
troy it, and to revolutionize the
government which the Constitution
set up. Enforce the Constitution
indeed! The radicals pay as little
attention to the Constitution when
it stanos in the way of their revo-
lutionary schemes, as ifit had no ex-
istence. The Constitution is the
very thing they are trying to dcs-
troy, not enforce. Bluffs
