England and France have agreed
upon a note, to be forwarded to the
Porte, in which the Ottoman Empire
IS counseled that the course of the
Porte should be so shaped in its
dealings with the Grecians and the
Eastern complication as to conserve
the peace of Europe. The note
plainly intimates that the quiet of
the continent will materially rest on
the action of the Porte upon these
important questions.

a New. Suggestion.

a New. Suggestion.
A letter addressed to the Legisla-
lures Of the Southern States, from
81. Fl. Blackwell, appears in the New
York Ecening Post, and suggests a
novel mode Of reconstruction. We
make an extract:
Now the radicalism of the North is
actual, organic and progressive. Re
cognize the fact.
But if Governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed'-if taxation without rep
resentation is tyranny''-and ION
these two commandments hang all
the (Repubhcan) law and the pro
phets then these propositions are
as applicable to women as to negroes.
CONSISTENCY is u jewel" The
principle is SO broad that, if you ac-
cept 1T i'll its entirety, you can afford
to lead, not follow.
The population Of the late slave
States is about $4,000, ,00O-S, 900, 600
white, 100000 black. The radicals
demand suffrage for the black men
on the grounds named above. Very
good. Say to them, as Mr.. Cowan
said to the advocates of negro male
suffrage in the District: 'sApply your
principle! Give suffrage to all men
and women of mature age and sound
mind, and we will accept it as the
basis Of State and national recon
struction.
Consider the result from the South
ern standpoint.
Your 100000 of Southern white
women will counterbalance your
100000 Of negro men and women.
and thus the political supremacy of
your white race will remain un-
changed.
Think well of this. 1t is a calcu
lation of the relative political infiu-
ences Of white women and of ne
groes which, perhaps, your people
have not yet considered. Let us
make the statement in figures. Esti-
mating one male voter to every five
persons, your present vote is:
White males / GOO OOO
Total white voters 200 600
Negro males. 500. 900
Negro females. 500
Total negro voters. rs..........1, ], GOO, 900
Suppose all the negroes vote one
way and all the whites the other
