The Colored Vote.

The Charleston correspondent Of the
New York Times writes:
/ II is very clear to any one who has
watched the political current in this quar-.
ter OF late, that the coored men will not
vote as unN. There is quite a large
number Of them who were free before the
war, aud who hold themselves partially
aloof from :he rest. tThese, to a man.
announce their determination to stand by
the old white residents in whatever action
they may take. On the other hand, there
Is more numerous party, com posed
chiefly OF lders from the plantations, who
nave found their way into the city, where
they live from. hand to mouth, who are
convinced that their release from daifv
toll wa, accomplished by the radical
party Of the North, and who may, there
fore, be relied upon to vote and act with
the men who represent and are endorsed
by that party. But the mos, numerous
class Of all is made up OF sensible freed
men, who are now earning a living by
honest labor, who are intelligent enough
TO thiuk for themselves, and to act as
they believe their own interesH dictate
Perhaps if they followed their own i'm.
pulses merely, thew might initiate the
example of their shittlsss knd mprovident
brethren from the country, and give their
support 10 the radical candidates. But
it must he borne in mind that these men
derive their subsistence almost entirely
from white employers. and they will take
heed bow they put their livelihood in
jeopardy, for the sake Of what, to them,
is now mere political abstraction. In
view of these facts, find tina, the shrewd,
est observers here. are of opinion that
either majority Of the blacks vii! he
found supporting the whites Al the pons.
or that il this should not be.the case. the
heedmen's vote will be divided so as 10
become n matter Of little comparative i'm
POrtaucs. If this be tue in Charleston
aud along The SEA coast, it is even more
so In the interior, where the freedmen are
less exposed to the influence Of political
Agitators. The gatherings Of negroes that
have lately taken place, to listen to Lar-
angues from orators, white and black,
were rather tame affairs, having been
gotten up in the interest Of a few would
he leaders of the colored population.

extraordinary Revelation in Connec-
ton with the Wirz Yragedy-Wirz
offered his Life ifhe would Implicate
Mr.. Davis,
The astounding revelation made by
Butler concetning the suppressed diary Of
Booth and the consequent official murder
Of an ihnocert woman, is followed BY
another little less astounding or disgrace
ful to the parties embraced in it, concern
ipg the !awloss trial and execution OF the
unfortunate Wirz The disclosure is made
In letter from Richmond to the New
York World, bearing date March 9th.
1t is as follows,
is, perhaps, not GENERALLY known that
during the Incarceration of Wirz and
Major Windsr in the Capitol Prison they
occupied adjoining cells, and enjoyed IA
cilities Of communication, one to the other,
by word Of writing. through an aperture
not observed doubtless, by the iaiIor.-
No one was permitted to see either unless
ey special privilege from the Secretary of
War. On the bight previous to the ex
ecution Of Wirz three men entered his cell,
Of course by permission of Stanton, and
proposed TO him, that Il he would agfee
10 implicates JEFF. Davis in the alleged
conspiracy to stsrse the Northern prison
ers confined at AndersonYie his life
would lie spared Wirz replied that he
would not save his own life by sacrificing
that of another innocent man. The par
ties ,hereupon left the cell, and Wirz i'm
mediatelv communicated all that trans
pired to Major Winder. The Major somo
time after met Mrs DAWN in New York,
and revealed to .her what is here stated,
backing il up by an affidavit, which be
gave her, and which sire now holds -
The. rial Of Davis would involve revela,
tons which would shock humanity, and
test 10 its fullest whatever sense Of Justice
or feeling Of national pride Is still left at
the North. 1t is rot unreasonable to
presume that popular Indignation wot,Id
be aroused TO a pitch that would render il
unsafe for Che concoctors Of the vile plans
devised 10 secure the sacrifice Of Davis's
life, to prolong their residence among a
people whose lame and character they so
grossly outraged.
should not the names Of the trio who
made this Infamous proposition to Wirz
I've traced ont by some meansi II the
World would initiate some movement to
that end, 1t is probabla that some light
might he obtained Which would fix the
identity o. these villains. The time is
em'nenly auspicious for such an enquiry,
now that the rogues are divulging each
o,hrrs iniquities. II may he that Major
"inder has some information which
would give clue to the names Of the
parties. II he has. he should he induced
TO Furnish it and then the wretGhes should
