Gen. Howard ON Colored Suffrage.

We make the following interesting extract
from an address recently delivered in Wash
lnaton by Gen. o. o. Howard, giving an &C
count of his observations on one of his
Southern tours:
A meeting of colored people, held at Mont
gomery during my stay at that place, was
reu,arka able one. A large room was filed
with men from the city and from different
parts of the State. After various speakers
had depicted to me somewhat in detail the
poverty sufferings, and ill-usage to which
they ha been subjected by proud, naughty,
domino ering, selfish men, I asked them sud-
denly What's the remedy2" Some an
swe, ed, "Give us the right to protect our
selv es.'' 1 then said: DO you wish the col
saicl ives" But one of their number, very
int lligent, educated negro, stepped to the
fror t and said 6 1 don't want the colored
PEG; ole to vote for five years, for I want the
Rad icals to remain in power. Here, and for
twe1 ,ty miles away, they'll vote right, but
fartf Ter off they'll vote for Mass. William
and Mess. John, to get their good will. -
Her eul,on an old negro, with gray hairs and
deeply furrowed brow, with broken, pro-
vine: aI speech, called out with great energy ::
Ev cry creature has got an instinct-the
calf goes to the COW to suck, the bee to the
hive Yves poor, humble, degraded peo-
pie, but we know our friends. We'd walk
fifte, IN miles in war time to find out about
the battle; we can walk fifteen miles and
more. to find how to vote" The question
was put, when an overwhelming majority
votec for Immediate and universal manhood
suffra ge.
Sc, 7eral called out: d" What does the gen.
eral think? 2" "What does the general
think 2" I answered, as do now, according
to the strong convictions of my judgment,
reinfo reed lately by the complete success of
the G, georgetown election, " believe the bal
lot is the poor mans protection" However
humb lie, however simple, however friendless,
it bege It's for him quite a modicum of inter-
est-a n interest on political capital offered
him by every aspirant for Office embraced
betwee n the Presidential candidate and the
town constable With the ballot, his neigh
bors al e sure to recognize in him the ele-
ments of manhood. Without it, certain OF
them al .e apt to derive him directly from the
monke. ! and the baboon. "But," it is asked,
do yo u believe in ignorant votinga" No
but the remedy is to remove the ignorance
RENE. ly which every true-hearted American
will wo rk for.

The Bitter Fruits.

Since the Alexandria election. some fifty
negroes who participated in that movement
have been discharged by their employers.
BARRIERS who were conspicuous in follow
ing the Sharks find that their customers are
decreasing day by day, and already the idle
and dissolute begin to collect at street cor
ners in excited groups denouncing in bitter
terms their former employers. 1t foreshad-
ows war of races between those who, fleft
to themselves, would soon establish the old
kindly relations, and calls for the gravest
consideration on the part of the authorities,
State, municipal and military-Nort0K Tr-
ginian.
What quiet way of telling the colored
people that if they vote to give themselves
liberty, eternal rest from their bondage of
soul rs swell as body, we, the rebels, will dis
charge you just as the rebels in Alexandra
are doing. You, colored BARRIERS and Others,
dependent upon labor or custom, will starve
to death if you undertake to exercise yolr
rights as citizens of the United States, is che
gentle hint given by the Virginian. And
then it goes on to declare that all tbs lore
shadows a war of races"
What logic There is not sensible color
ed man in Virginia but can easily understand
this humane argument of the Virginian. 1t
virtually says, if you, colored people, walk
up to the polls and vote, we (the rebels will
go to work in systematic manner and starvs
you to death, and we shall do this even at
the expense of war of races. So, colored
people, be careful about this voting business
Don't trust the " sharks" Union men, don't
have anything to do with the people or the
nation who waded through sea of blood,
shoulder to shoulder with two hundred thou
sand colored soldiers. to save the nations, life,
and to break the shackles of four million
slaves. o, no! culored people, don't have
anything to do with these people Bali Mr..

The Radical Convention at Huntsville,

the recent measure of reconstruction by Con-

to another, to be held in May, whereat the
loyal men of the State will proceed to recon-

heartily in favor of the movement, the pros
pect seems to be good that Alabama will
