NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

Negro suffrage, thougbrevolting to the
present age, is no, entirely without precs
dent in this country. According to the
Augusta Press, IL prevailed at times in all
the old original thirteen States. excert in
South Carolina. In New York, which
cow forb'ds negro suffrage, they voted
whsr 1t was slave State; as thew also
did in Maryland until 1901. AID in North
Carolina until 1885, and until nearly that
time in Tennessee. IL is stated that Hon.
JoHs BELL, Of Tennessee, ran FxrIx
GRuspY on, Of Congress. in the Nsshrihs
District, bt negro +o,es; aud in the Old
Dominion, in tlse' earlier davs, this class
were not dsffanchised. II there were
found TO be good teasons Tor modifying
the suffrage laws Of those States, may we
not feel satisfied that tho abuse Of the
privilege vii! be attended with like moH
fications in the future! 1t would not
surprise us to sec the first mo, ers for q
repeal Of the recohs,ruction bill nom the
ranks Of those who enacted 1T ; for, in the
language Of Virginia paper, united
and h"rmonious white population will
suffer litpe inconvenience from btitsrsa!
suffrage. A little kindly conciIia,ion and
patient teacfihg oh our part will soon
enable the .ne* ly enfranchised colored man
to see that his own interest requires him
to CO operate with his formur it,asier, and
after al, his best f,isnd, rather than to
follow the lead OF desi gnine deceivers. who
would rob him Of his palrs saving, and
lure him into destructive contest o.
races.

The following is Geu. Bsaursgard's
response to the call made By tho New

New ORLEAxs,LA., March %.
VIM II. C. Hing. Editor Of the New
Orleans Times, New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir: You have done no the honor
to call for my opinion relative to lbe action
Of the South under the military bill -
Having seldom taken any part in politics,
do not feel we'll qoaliied to advise on so
momentous a question nevertheless, as
the Same desire ts oblaiu my views .lias
been manifested from vsrious quarters, I
shall not shrink from the responsibility of
expressing them, in the hope that they
may tend TO quiet the public mind, so
Justly alarmed t this moment.
In my humble opinion, we have but
one Of two things to do-resist or submit
The first is itsdmissihle. in our painfully
exhausted condition. Four years Of a
desperate war have taugh. us that the
argument ofthe sword" can no longer be
resor,ed to by US to redress our grievances.
We must, therefore, submit; but with
that calm dignity hscoming. oun M anhood
snd our LOST independence. e
Having been ovs,porered in the lsts
struggle, We can submit to the harsh and
ungenerotis Conditions OF our conquerors
without dlshonor. and We must adopt The
least oftwo evils futile resistance would
only cause our rire,s TO he driven closer
we must then acquiesce or leave the
country Bat we love too dearly rhe
land Of our birth 10 abandon it in its hour
Of severe.t trial We. should avoid. also.
bringing it. nv internal dissepsions, to the
condition Of poor Mexico ana the unfor'
tuna'e South American Republic. .
With regard TO the suffrage Of tho fresd
men, however ohjectionahle.it it NAV he at
present. it ia an element Of strength for
the future. II properly handIed and d,
rected. we shall de'eat our adversaries
with their own weapon.
Tho negro ia sou,hsrn born; with r
little education and some property quail
| fications. he can be made to take sufficien,
infereM IN the affairs and prosperity OF
the South to insure an intelligent vote on
his part.
IN our fmuts political c6htes's with the
North. on pio,ecrivs tarifs. intetnal i'm
provemsnts etc. the freedmen Of the
Sonth will aide with the white, Of the
South and Of the West and thew will
thus contribute tosgive MS back The iufu
ence We formerly had in the Councils o.
the nation.
Our pecpls shoull understand tba, the
radicals can remain in power only so long
ss tho public ercii-'nen, !. kep, up; as
with the turhid waters Of the Mississippi
River. the ss6imentsry particle. are kept
up At the sprfacs ONLY 80 long as the
