There has been more Of a feeling
in the South than has been generally
acknowledged, that the governments
erected by johnson we're icticious,
temporary, and not to be depended
upon. The Mobile Advertiser puts
it very candidly, as follows:
"And after oil, we do not lose much
In the loss of the system Vf State sell
government, which has beon fal
more shadowy than substantial since
the close of the war. Our Governor,
our Judiciary and our Legislature
have been little more than puppets
playing their pantomimic role, when
all the world knew that there was an
unseen master hand pulling the wires
a Presidential ukase, or a general
military order, has been sufficient nj
any time to arrest the entire farce
just as IL is now being done by a Con
grcss that represents q minority oI
the American people"

The Richmond Times howls pite-
ously over the new reconstruction
act 1t is in the judgment of that
organ of treason, an unmitigated
evil. In its weeping and woiling and
gnashipg Of teeth, II reaches the eli
max by saying:
"Thc most mdeous and revolving
feature of that invention Of the devi
the Sherman bills that whcth
err we consent TO return to the Union
or prefer to remain at the mercy o
the military, we cannot avoid Tho
the outrage of negro suffrage
The Times states tue case very
clearly. Negro, or rather impartial
suffrage, is what the rebels must sub
nit to, and they may as well make
up their minds to swallow the dos,
quietly.

Rather Heavy.

The news was received on Wednes
day nigh! that Gen. j. s. Robinson
Of Kenton, and Clogs b. Wilson hai
been respectively appointedto the Off
ces o. Assessor and Collector of this
District. Why the two names should
have happened to be IN such close
proximity in nomination and coniir-
nation is not known but there is a
general feeling among Union men that
there was n square bargain and sale.
To Gen. Robinson we have no objec
tions; but to Wilson we have many.
He is most thorough and bitter en-.
emy of the party that has given him
the office; and throughout the war
he failed in no way to carry ont Cop
perhead measures Ills confirmation
is an outrage upon .hc Union party,
and on insult entirely uncalled for.

ence to the refusal Of the Republican
Legislatures in certain Northern
States, to strike the word white from
the Constitution. The Times is purely
Conservative, and a rebuke coming
from it, such as given below, is worthy
of notice
"Missouri and Minnesota, through
their Legislatures, have affirmed the
principle of impartial suffrage In
Ono, Illinois, and Michigan the Leg
islatures have refused tu obllteraIe
caste distinctions, by the adaptation
OF their Constitutions to the altered
circumstances of the country. These
adverse decisions are inexplicable,
in view oil the action of the Republi-
can party in Congress, and the posi-
ton it has assumed on the suffrage
question. Alter eulranchising tile
colored citizens OF the District OF
Columbia, and forcing upon the South
their universal eniranchisement, it is
difficult to imagine any principle with
which the Northern States may Justify
the pI esent disability ON account OF
color. Certainly there is no cousisten
cy in the course OF tue Legislatures
controlled by large Republican ma
Ijorities, alter the formal promulga-
tion OF the Republican policy in the
halls OF Congress. Ii the party has
any distinctive principle, the principle
OF impartial suffrage must be con-
sidered peculiarly its own. 1t has
proclaimed it part OF the groundwork
oi national reorganization, by enact.
ing it wherever Congressional au-
thority extends. Aud the States
composing Congress cannot decently
refuse To ratiiy in their individual
capacity the principle to which they
have given effect BY their aggregate
authority. 1t the blacks OF Georgia
are entitled to vote, and are entrusted
with them without any disqualified
tion. on what pretcnse are the blacks
OF Ohio, Illinois and Michigan, to
remain branded withpolitical inferior.

The Election I'm Omaha.

The Omaha Republican. Of March
5th and 7th, contains an account of a
gross outrage perpetrated upon The
rights of the colored citizens in the
Second Ward OF that city, at,the mu
nicipal election on March 4th. The
facts are briefly these: IL being gen
orally understood that the colOred
men of the city, in the exercise of
their rights as electors conferred ON
them by the organic law Of the Ter
ritory, by the statutes of the Terrific
ry, and the recent acts of Congress,
would offer their votes at the charter

morning of the day OF election, post

Late in tue afternoon Of the same
day some 400 armed Democratic
roughs, led by two noted bulIies, as
semblcd in front OF the Second Ward
polling place and declared that no
colored man should vote in that
Ward. Shortly afterward some twen
" colord men appeared, to offer theil
votes. Upon approaching, they were
driven away by the Democrats who
drew their revolvcrs and declared
their intention to prevent their No

bers OF the Police present were ap

but r, fused to act. and declared thu
negroes "had no right to vote and
should not vote" In this condition
