Niggcrism and Its Results.

negro plot has been discovered o: Santiago
de Cuba. The course which the Jamaica
negroes took after emancipation, and when
much of the political power Of the island had
been thrust upon them, seems to have been
adopted by the Santiago negroes on the mere
rumor Of distantly approaching freedom. We
have no particulars yet beyond the fact Of the
discovery Of the conspiracy and the arrest Of
some Of the leaders In the present aspect OF
our political affairs, now that the radical
programme is to control the elections by the
niger vote, all these matters have personal
interest for us. In this view we republish this
morning, from the files Of the HERALD, q
curious chapter in the history Of negro supre-
macy among the sea islands of Georgia, which
may throw some light en- the goal to which
radical legislation is driving, W.

birthright-his vote But, then, if you must and
will punish, and in furnishing deprive these
hundreds of thousands Of Southern white men
OF their votes. what vote is that which you have
balanced by giving votes to the negroes
Not these votes that you have taken away
from Others Perhaps it may be that this bal
ance is to be used yet against the vote Of the
Northern white mantle splendid fellow who
walked through fire for four years to save the
country. The vote of man who lost his arm
at Antietam may be Dullifed by that Of stall
wart chattel. who hoed the corn that was
eaten in Lees camp at Spottsylvania.
These discrepancies in our plans Of recon-
struction, one balancing the white mans vote
and the other taking it away, were forcibly ex-
posed in the letter in question. General Sickles
showed that the two plans together secured too
much; that they guaranteed an unnecessary
degree of safety to republican principles, and
did it at the expense Of the good will Of
the whole mass Of the white men and The
best interests OF the country. His conclusions
were expressed in these words THE true
conservative guarantee against reaction is in
the addition made TO the loyal vote by the
enfranchisement Of The colored people. That
being done, the occasion for the disqualified
ton clause ceases Hence the true solution,
believe, is to declare with universal suffrage a
general amnesty, naming the exceptions. A
more liberal amnesty is, in my judgment essen
tial to the success of the Congressional plan of
reconstruction" In the came letter it was

are the words of a careful Observer man
who has wisely considered the circumstances
and condition OF the people and the country.
General Sickles was from the first the COM
mander who had the best appreciation of the
difficulties Of reconstruction, and his letter TO
Senator Trumbull touches the important point
in the right spirit Universal amnesty must
go with universal suffrage, and thus one class
Of Southern voters will rightly guide and check
the other; the niggers, perhaps, preventing
the disloyal tendencies of the whites, and the
whites preventing tendencies on the other side

The French Naval Roview-EuGenis and
Farragat.
In yesterdays HERALD we published long
and interesting letter from the pen of our
special correspondent at Cherbourg 1t will
be read and admired by many and by different
persons for very different reasons. Some will
read and admire it for the full and graphic
account which it gives of the brilliant display
made in honor Of the Empress visit to the feet.
France did not, like England, exhibit her tubs
and her iron-clads to the Sultan and his
dependent the viceroy of Egypt The French
feet, however, was not to be overlooked. To
overlook it. in fact might have been dangerous
1t Isl powerful and growingly useful branch Of
the public service. The army had been exhibit
ed and admired to its hearts content on that
almost fatal 9Th Of June: ald so, now that
emperors and kings and viceroys and princes
have each gone home, the Empress has gone
down to Cherbour0. a magnificent display has
been made and the French fleet, we have little
doubt, are now fully satisfied.
To u.s. however, the letter is interesting for
other reasons. 1t is impossible, in fact, to read
the letter referred to, especially in connection
with other concurrent testimony, and doubt
that the Empress is vastly popular with both
branches OF the public service, and indeed with
the great body Of the French people. The
enthusiastic rivas which greeted the Empress
must have proved source of rich gratif
cation to the Emperor himself: and
he. no doubt, consoled himself with the
thought, that so long as such receptions con-
tinued to be accorded to his august spouse he
could afford 10 be Indifferent to the virulent
attacks of such men as Theirs and Favre and
Berryer and the rest. Josephine was wont TO
boast-on one occasion the playful boast
assumed the form of q portentous warning
that she WIS the good genius of the first en-
pire; and, so far as we know the facts, we have
no reason to say that Eugene has been the
bad genius Of the second empire. Napoleon,
with all his resources, could i'll afford to dis
pense with the kindly influences which the
Empress has all along SO judiciously exercised.
There are few, we believe, on either side of
the Atlantic but will join us in the hope and
prayer that another and happier fate may be
hers than that which fell to the lot of her illus
trous predecessor.
1t would be unnatural to pretend to be in
different to the attention which is now being
paid to our great naval hero. We do not for
get tina. it has not always been 80. The
| American people, however, are not vindictive.
When the dmendc honorable is made we are
always ready to accept it and to hold out the
hand of friendship. We have neither kings
nor princes of the blood royal to send across
the Atlantic to represent us at the courts Of
Europe but we have citizens of whom we are
as proud as we could be of kings, and a kind
ness done to one Of them never fails to reach
the sensitive national heart We are proud OF
| him is kindness done to us.

Fernando Weed md the Next Charter Eiec.
1t ia very evident that>the next charter elec-
ton in New York will be controlled by the
two democratic elements OF Irish whiskey and
German lager beer. The only question is, in
what direction will their strength be thrown
and under whose leadership viii they marshal
their forces for the fghte They cannot 60
with the republicans, as matter Of course, as
In them they recognize natural enemy, with
their heavy license fees, their blue light Sun
day laws, their peep-hole prying and spying
informers, decoy ducks and arbitrary arrests.
They will not go with Tammany, because there
they fud party that has always been hand
and glove with the republicans in the Legisla-
turc, and ready to sell out their votes for
police bill, health bill, an excise bill, or any
other oppressive and arbitrary measure, for
the sake of securing their own Offices. There
is no other single political organization in the
city of sufficient strength or importance to
render separate combination with them
worth the consideration of these two great
democratic elements.
1t is pretty evident, then. that the whiskey
and lager beer democrats, to make their power
properly felt and to render their united move
ment successful, must put themselves under the
leadership of an individual and not of an
organization It's this necessity that occasions
the sudden and remarkable prominence in our
city affairs Of Fernando Wood, who just now
looms up in manner that at once startles and
alarms all the wire-pulling politicians who have
hitherto supposed the game to be all in their
own hands. He is the natural friend, ally and
captain of the Irish whiskey and German lager
beer democratic legions, and hence, without
any effort of his own, he stands prominently
forth in bold relief as the only man who is
likely to be selected by them as their champion
in the approaching fight, which is so full Of
Importance to them. The chances now appear
to be that the magnificent rascal will hold the
whole Irish and German element in his grasp
at the next charter election, and that he will be
in position either to make his own bargains
and combinations or to bid defiance to all
opposition, and sweep the city for Mayor, as
he did in 1859, single handed, with all the
republicans and all Tammany Hall fighting
tooth and nail against him, and with Hoffman,
Tweed, Sweeney and the whole band of painted
warriors yelling their war-whOOps in his ears
and brandishing their tomahawks about his
head.

TEE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT
The leading Republican journals do not ap
prove the action Of the House of Representa-
tves on Monday, IN adopting the i'm peachmeht
resolution; basins their opposition to the meas
ure mainly on the delay in Important lexisla-
tion which 1t will probably cause, and the dis.
astrous effect upon the finances and business
OF the country o. prolonged struggle between
the Executive and Congress. The New York
Tribune thinks nothing Is to be gained by urging
impeachment, and adds by way of warning:
MAY we not put precedent upon our stat.
ute books which will give any Democrats
majority Of the Senate and House in future
yesrs the right to revolutionize the Govern
nent In the interest of slavery! Let Ms walk
slowly, and survey the ground as we 60 Let
us not lay violent hands upon the Executives
once until we find that no other coprse re-
MAINS Tor the honor Of the nation. PERHAPS
we are wrong; but it does not seem to rs that
ths time for the sterner alternative has come"
The Timss says the suject is q source of an.
frehension and alarm, particularly among
business men, saying:
The course that has been pursued upon the
Impeachment business, the spirit tina: has been
displayed In its treatment and the progress
within few days In making it a mat
ter Of practical Legislation and action, have
ended greatly TO these apprehension n lie
.0o,ea az upon as such gratuitous disturb
Prolopging OF our political dinicuIfies, such
an uncaiied for interference with our progress
towards harmonious relations, and such an
snnerehty dangerous procedure, that il can
be regarded only as the work OF those who
care nothing for the public welfare, and are
intent only upon their own selfish ends
ne formal charges that these parties pro-
pose TO prefer against President Johnson in
tneir articles Of impeachment are no more than
those with which we have become familiar
from the speeches OF his ASSISTANTS. Nearly
all Of them would be dismissed at once bv any
court, and II they ever come before such body
rs the Senate, we have NJ doubt OF the dispo
sitIon that will be made OF them"
