NEGRO SUFFRAGE

As was anticipated, the Senate yesterday
beld TO their heretofore action on the District
negro suffrage bill, and by a vote OF 20 to 10
passed the bill by the requisite two thirds
majority over the Presidents veto. The
House to-day will undoubtedly pass it by
two-ihrds vote The Presidents message
was CONCEDED by republican members gen.
orally to be a TEN perste, disnified document.
and not few admit the great force Of IN.
objections urged 10 the indiscriminate an ffrage
extended by the bill, but do not seem inclined
to detach themselves from the maiority who
have wiiled to establish celored suffrage hers
without qualification. Congress having thus
reiterated its psrpose In the matter, the cit.
izens owe It TO themselves to acquresce with
good grace in what is beyond their control.
and aid in giving the experiment fair trial.
