Suffrage FOR the Blacks.

The New York 7rmes. Radical, has
very sensible article on the enfranchis
mcnt of the blacks, from witch We mak
the following extracts f
There is much less Of mere prelude
against the negro In the South tha
among certain classes in the North
Even before the abolition of Slavery, nc
groes were sure Of better personal treat
ment from Southern people than fror,
Northern The South very naturally OBJ
iects to vnipersai negro suffrage, because
they know very well that the great body
ofthe negroes are utterly unqualified for
it,-that they know nothing whatever Of
the questions which their votes may de-
tcrmme, and that they will inevitably be-
come tools in the hands of demagogues.
Universal negro sui.
fragc, with disfranchisement of the
great body of the whites, forced upon
the Southern States by military power,
and leading in nearly all those States to
the absolute supremacy Of the negroes in
the government, must Of necessity be
odious and intolerable to the white In.
habitants. Even IL forced to consent to
it, such step must implant in their minds
the most bitter resentment toward those
by whom the blow has been inflicted. Its
direct tendency, moreover, is to array
the blacks and whites against each other.
to make each feel that the other is his
enemy, and thus to SOW the seeds of fu-
ture collisions and hatreds between the
two races. Ifthe work had been done by
the people of those States themselves, the
result would have been very different.
That it must have been done sooner or
later is certain ri. #
The violent and arbitrary manner in
which Congress has seen fit to settle this
question, is unquestionably one very pow
erful element in the recent reverses which
the Republican Party has sustained in the
Northern States. ..r 5a7

PoLITlcAL PRosrEcTs.-We give below
an article from the New York Nation,
{ Radical, which, it will be seen, admits
that the democrats will carry New York
by majority of from seven to fifteen
thousand votes. 1t says:
The losses which the republican party
has sustained in every election that has
occurred during this year, amounting to
positive defeats in Connecticut, Califor-
MIA, and Pennsylvania, and loss equiv
alent to defeat in Ohio, make 1t necessa-
ry to survey the whole field, and consider
dispassionatoly what political course the
country is likely to take, what probabil.
ity there 10 OF the restoration Of the dem
ocrats to power, and what effect such an
event may have upon the country.
The actual losses Of the republicans
are q governor in each of the states Of
Connecticut and California, seven mem.
bcrs of the house Of representatives and
two United States senators. The dimin-
ution of the republican majority in tho
states which have thus far voted, as COM
pared with last year, is, in round num-
bers, 107 900, viz: 10000 in Maine, L.
500 in Hampshire, 2,700 in Vermont,
1000 in Rhode Island, ] 800 in Connec-
ticut, $4,000 in Pennsylvania, 10000 In
Ohio, 10000 in Iowa, and $4,000 in Cali
fornia. There is every reason to suppose
that the states which hold elections in
November will increase this figure to
100000. or about one-half OF the entire
republican majority in the northern states.
The result Of the election in New York
may easily be foresccn. The democratic
maiorities in New York and Brooklyn
will be reduced nearly TO- 900 by the light
vote; but the republican majorities in the
interior amounting last year to 70,0OO)
will be reduced by 10000 or 10000. In
each of the counties Of Albany, Rensse-
laer, and St. Lawrence there will be re-
publican loss of some 2 900 votes, in each
of a dozen strong republican counties,
such as Allegheny, Cuyuga, Chautauqre,
Onondaga, etc, there will be q loss Of
900 votes or more. and a smaller loss
in almost every other county. This
leaves the democratic ticket a majority in
the state of from 1000 10 $4,000, which,
unless some unexpected change occurs
before the election, it is tolerably certain

timony shall be transmitted to the Senate 70,

Mr.. SPAULDING inquired whether the
resolution contemplated any further continu-
ance OF this session.
Mr.. HURLBURD replied that it did not
Mr.. TABOR stated that, as one of the
minority of the Committee, he did not agree
to the report. The evidence, to his mind
was entirely insufficient to base such resos
lutions upon and be asked that it be read 10
the House.
Mr.. HURLBURD stated that the report
just submitted was based on the testimony
taken by the Committee during the last ses-
sion, together with the evidence of one wit
ness, who appeared before the Committee ol
the present Congress, and if the House
should require the reading of ell the testi-
mony il would probably occupy six days.
After debate the resolution passed.
Mr.. HURLBURD reported the following
resolution:
Resoieed, That il is the sense of this House
that Henry A., Smythe should be Immediately
removed from the Office Of Collector Of Ports
of the United States, and that the Clerk oil
the House cause certified copyof this reso-
luton to be laid before the President of the
United States.
Mr.. BUTLER opposed the resolution. He
said there was but one way BY which this
House shonld demand the removal of high
officer; that was BY impeachment; there was
no other way.
Mr. RANDALL expressed the opinion
that the resolution was unusual and uncalled
for.
Mr.. BUTLER asked Mr.. Randall, what
should be doneiftbe President refused to re-
move smythe?
Mr.. Mr.RANDALLreplied, that il the President
did what WAS right, be would tell the House,
il it passed the resolution. 10 mind its own
business. Laughter He concurred in the
OPT MON that Smythe should be removed, if
not for malfeasance, for un6tness.
The morning hours having expired, the re-
solution went over until tomorrow.
The House went into the Committee of the
Whole, Mr. Blaine in the Chair. and re-
sumed the consideration Of the Senate Joint
Resolution appropriating $1,000, 600, for
the relief of destitute people in the South.
All general debate being ordered closed in
few moments, Banks and Bingham with
their pending amendments. y

strike out of the joint resolution the words
sppropriating one million dollars and in
serting these words, "and that the Secretary
Of War be hereby authorized and directed,
through the Commissioner OF the Freedmens
Bureau, TO apply so much as he may deem ne.
cesssry, for the purposes aforesaid, of the
unexpended moneys heretofore provided to
supply freedmen and refugees with proyis-
ions or rations"

amendment and the joint resolution, declar
ing that it was intended to aid in way the
able bodied white rebels, who were loahng
around the corner grocery stores, refusing

CHICAGO, March 81.
A Morris fIll.) special OF the 10th says
that the trial of Joseph Iibbetts, for the
murder Of Thomas Page, which has been in
progress for the past week, suddenly came to
q stand still on yesterday afternoon. The
prosecution had finished all the testimony ex-
cept that Of Alonzo Tibbetts, brother of the
accused, upon whose testimony before the
grand jury the indictment was found, and
Joseph arrested. Upon being placed upon
the stand, he refused to testify, and the court
ordered him to Jail. This morning he was
discharged from arrest, the court reversing
the decision of yesterday, the witness still
refusing 10 testify, and no testimony being
offered by the defense. The case was sub
mitted without argument, and in half an hour
the jury returned verdict of not guilty.
There is considerable excitement throughout
the entire county in regard to this murder,
forwe must have the murderer of Thomas
Page in our midst.
