Our Sentiments Exactly.

Agents are engaged in various portions
of the country, North and South, soliciting
subscriptions to Memorial chapels, cemete.
ries, monuments, &C., to commemorate the
heroic achievements of the Confederate
dead. Highly as we prize these objects,
important as they are, we believe that a
considerable portion of these charities
would be more appropriately bestowed in
relieving the wants of many of the Confed-
crate living. Thousands of Confederate
soldiers VINO fell in the field have left be-
hind them penniless widows, helpless or
phan children, or helpless parents who de-
pended upon them for subsistence. Every
county in the South we doubt not furnishes
instances of this sort, in no inconsiderable
numbers. We know of at least dozen
cases of the kind in this county, and we
would rate the charity and patriotism OF
the man who expended his gratuities upon
these memorials of the Confederate dead
considerably higher than if he should spend
them upon memorial chapels," &c.

Singularities of Suffrage,

A nice commentary upon the Radical de
mand for impartial suffrage in the South is
found in the fact that only eight of the
twenty two States controlled by the Radi
Gals permit such suffrage. Of the New
Egland States Connecticut IS the only one
that refuses the ballot to colored men,
Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire make
no distinction whatever in respect to suf-
frage, but Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
do The laws of Massachusetts require the
voter to be able to read the Constitution OF
the United States in the English language
and to write his name. Rhode Island like
wise indulges in little Known -Nothingism
in its suffrage law, by declaring that every
native male citizen may vote, In New
York negroes with certain qualifications
are allowed to vote; that is, such as are
worth two hundred and fifty dollars, and
have been in the State three years. In Wis
consin, negroes are allowed to vote by vir-
tue of decision by the Supreme Court of
that State upon technically. In Ohio the
greater part of the negroes vote, although
the law gives the ballot only to those who
have more than half white blood. Oar
keys who are as black as charcoal can vote
there in the Radical districts, under the
half white law. In nearly all of the other
States, however, the Radicals have declined
by tests in popular elections, to give the
negroes that which they so strendously in
sist the Southern people shall give them.

in Ohio and Kentucky, but in Tennessee
also, the wheat is moro extensive than is
usually seen, and promises an abundant

the wheat in Sangamon and adjoining
counties looks finely, better than during

past. Wheat and other cereal crops in Tex
as, of which all unusually large breadth has
been planted are looking splendidly, and
