tAa u4a
THE people of Ohio have this year
had the question of negro suffrage
before them. and, on vote, have
given it decided negative. This de-
cisigu as not inconsistent with their
support of the reconstruction law
embracing negro suffrage in the States
lately in rebellion. The cases are
entirely different. In the South. it
was not the question of eelor that
they were admitted to suffrage, but
one of loyal tyTthe. only basis on
which civil government can stand. A
few loyal whites have been found in
the cSouth-few, compared with the
rebel 'element-but not enough to sus-
tain themselves against the over
whelming odds, and not enough to
constitute the State Governments re-
specially republican in form. In
this 4 anomalous condition, the en-
franchisement of the entire loyal peo-
pie, without distinction of, color, was
a necessity. As this manifestly just
and wise measure embraced the large
proportion of the negro race, it falls
into the same category as their eman-
cipation and their enlistment, as SOL
diers-to save the Republic from det-
riment.. The question decided in
Ohio is altogether different, and rests
on entirely different grounds. The
decision, of it cannot, therefore, be
interpreted as opposed to the recon
struction policy of Congress. and there
is no Inconsistency In voting against
the Ohio Amendment and at the same
time supporting the Republican policy
of MISUNDERSTANDING Com.

MANUFACTURING IN THE ,SoUTH AID WEsrA
Among the changes which are likely to result
from the late conflict between the North and the
South. those of commercial and manufacturing
character promise to be the most conspicuous.
Before the war, the natural course OF business
was to send cotton from the South to the Moth
ern Atlantic cities for the purpose OF being
manufactured or reshipped to Europe, receiving
in return such goods as the planting States con-
surned. Now the tendency is to l0calize the
business of the South-to produce there, as far
as possibls, the manufactured goods required
for home consumption. Meanwhile, the natural
effect is for larger proportion OF Southern pro-
ducts to find a market at Baltimore than syer
before, and this viii probably continue to be the
case. With the growth Of manufactures IN the
South, the advantages Of cheapness, resulting
from having the raw product on the spot, viii be
realized, and eventually she may underseI others,
and send her surplus direct to such foreign mar.
kets as ar q in need. of them. As symptom OF
this introyefsion of trade it may be noted that be-
tween seventy and eighty cotton mills ore now
said to be in process Of erection in the Southern
States besides sundry woollen ones, all tending to
the change in trade and business to which We
have adyerted. Nor is this tendency confined to
the South solely, but seems to be actuating the
people Of the Western States also. There, too, in
creased attention to manufacturing enterprises is
manifested, promising changes in commercial! al
fairs not anticipated ten years since. These have
been expedited in the South by the late conflict in
arms; while in the West they are the result OF
views antagopistic to those entertained by the
manufacturers Of the Atlantic States. &zN
