Ole measure, will soon be removed, if VIC
shall act promptly. We have learned, that
| several Senators who voted for The measure,
expressed regret that this disfranchising
feature was contained in it. It is so pal-
pably unreasonable, Us well as unjust, TINT
we cannot think il will last long.
Secondly, this measure extends to all
classes, The liborty, OF right to vote.
o This we believe to be an exceedingly m
Fonsistont and dangerous extension cf The
fright Of suffrage; and that will ultimately 2
result in tho complete ruin of oar Southern
country, unless it Shall DC CONTROLLED. TO
some extent at least, by those Who nrc pro-
pcrly Informed, and who entertain proper
views. For it should be remembered, that
tho right to vote, and the right to hold office
go together Now there is class among
Us, that arc neither fit for the one Ior the
other; but as things arc now, they have ex-
tended to them the right of birth, and un-
fortunately for us, this class is ia the ma,
jnrity, in our own State at least.
The question now is, shall we have them
exercise this right, under the direction Of
persons who would really elevate this class
aooTc "5, to our ruin; OF shall wo manage
san',srs so ns to have them exercise the
right. undor Tho direction Of those who
know what is best fer oN classes? We
should certainly prefer tho latter, and not
accordingly. SO doing, We do not believe
This extension Of suffrage, will be nearly
so Injurious as many have Imagined.
In the first place, many OF tho ahovo
named class know nothing about voting /;
and will care, after ali, so little about it, az
not to vote at all. In the second place,
many of those who will vote, know that it
would not DO to elevate ono Of their own
class to Office; nor viii they attempt it, un.
less misinGormed and influenced by our
encmics. Many Of this class Of persons
arc rs much opposed to an undue elevation
! OF persons Of ther own class as VIC are.
The writer of this article, witnessed an H.
| tnstration Of this recently. In convcrsa-
ton with prominent and influential colorcl
member OF one Of our country chuchcs, the
| writer asked him. whether ho know Of any of
| i'Ao SoiO' GA olC'HtCi WHO SnONCu II 01SU0Sl-
| ton, and who he though should preach, SO.
| hcrcplicd, 80, ycssir! know of good many
thct say they think they are called 10
preach; and have heard some of them try,
but, for my life, could not see any preach
ing IN il; aud no for my part, expect to
go where can hear somebody preach tha,
can preach" so he has Loue, and 50 I
hnd the better informed ones aro generally
doing. So too, VIC think they will act, in
rcspct to this matter Of voting.
At any rate, let us try to have it so and
let US trust that u Good Providence will Sc
ordcr things, that what appears to us TO be
evil, and nothing but evil, may DO oyerruled
for good. "Surcly the wrath of man shall
praise theo tho remainder Of wrath shalt
thou restrain" Q'sa. 7G: 10Y So David
said; so let US try to think.

do what they can to relieve The whites
from tho disabilities imposed upon
thom by the law. We believe that
thc action Of the Coumbia freed linen
is an index of what that class will do
throughout the South, if tho whites
only treat them fairly and dcccntly.
They arc an ailcctionatc, coniiding
and trusting people, anxious forpcacc,
quiet and contentmcnt, and with no
natural taste for political c%c5omcuts.
If they be made 20 feel that tho
whites are disposed to belricnl them,
they will do anything in reason TO hold
that friendship. 1.-Two were disposed

WASHINGTON NEws-TME CoNF is
CATION BoGUS.-Mr. Stevens, in his
bnncombe contiscation effort before the
House to day, betrayed great physical
debility. Ills voice was much weaker
than before. After reading the manu-,
script for about five minutes, he was
compelled to give it to the Clerk to
finish, evidently with great reluctance.
The hall was not so densely crowded
as it would have been had it been known
that the speech was to have been made.
Those who were present, however, did
no: manifest the same interest as they
would have done had Mr.. Stevens de-.
lvercd the speech in person. At the
conclusion OF the reading, the whole
subject was postponed until December
neXt.-Sun.
