in 1858, Lincoln said II am not, and never have
been, In favor Of making voters or jurors Of ne.

Negro Education.
DR.. Elliott Coues, an officer connected with thu
garrison at this post, has written some capital let
ters to The Round Table, upon the education o
the negroes in the South. .... ~.
He takes the position that the negro mind i
both different in kind to that Of the whites, ant
inferior in quality and hence shows the necesat!
of separate schools for the education Of the tw'
races This he shows would be better for both tn
negro and the white. The curriculum of studie
for negroes should be, at least forthe present. him
tied to reading, writing and arithmetic, with SOM
general ideas of geography and Of the form Of on
government. The whites Of the South are no
able to educate the negroes, and the United State
government ought to pay for doing it; this espe
cially because the United States Government is re
sponsible for the present condition Of the freed
men.
The tone, style, and matter Of these letters ar
all fine; and they will have, We trust great infu
ence in correcting the vague maduess-the negro
mania in the northern mind. $50 -'"f ''
The journal in which they appear-1ke Roun'
TaJle-is clearly the ablest weekly published ii
America; and this fact will 60 far to give Dr
Coues' views the respectful attention to whicl
their merits SO eminently entitle them. -.

The Baltimore American says that General
Grant has already, in private conversation, express
ed the hope that the adoption of an amendment to
the constitution proclaiming universal suffrage,
without distinction of race of color, will be one OF
the first acts of the approaching session Of Con
gress. ...s- - ..i>"l,ls4 !. -- ...i
The aggregate vote of the State of New York,
in the recent election, is put down at $40, O00-an
increase ofl2o0O0 votes over the election Of 1865
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes that the late Democratic Legislature Of O.
hio having enacted that no device of any kind
should be printed on the ballots-nothing but the
bare names of candidates and the Offices for which
they were supported the Democrats Of Mon
roe county having headed their ballots 'The White
Mans Government" the State Oanvassers have
been constrained to reject them all, returning the
Republican candidates elected in that stronghold.
Negro suffrage was defeated iu Missouri by
the German voters 1t lost by 20, 900 majority,
while the radicals carried the State by very hea-
w majority. In one ward in St Louis, where the
German vote was strong, Grant got 65S majority,
with majority of 1921 against negro suffrage.
In another, there was Grant majority Of CTS,
with majority against negro suffrage vi I,ooV.
These Germans believe that Gen.. Grant continues
to hold the opinion he used to express that negro
freedom does not include negro suffrage. '..
The New York Herald says: General Grant
recently expressed to an army friend his utter con-
tempt Of the statesmen who are urging their own
merits as otice-holders on him. He said that he
would make up his Cabinet after he received a
certificate of election, and then no one would know
whom be had decided upon until their names got
into Print. It's no use planning campaign until

THE LINCOLN COUNTY SENAToR.-With
regard to the matters of doubt involved in
the election Of one Senator too many, the
Reese River Reveille says: The Enterprise
calls attention to the fact that the Lincoln
Senator, being the twentieth member. is in
excess of the number of Senators allowed
BY the constitution, which is to be not more
than half the number of emblylnen-at
present thirty nine, Mechanically, the
half of that number is nineteen and u half.
Now whether the Lincoln Senator proposes
to halve himself in his senatorial capacity,
half pay and vote half a vote, or whether
he intends not to appear a. all, we are not
advised. At the most, he could be but half
Senator, filling but half an office, and his
constituency, but half represented in the

RENO THREATENED VITA \ CoNFLAGRA-
rIoN.-The Reno Crescent of last Saturday
says Last Monday morning the house of
Harry Moves was discovered to be on fire.
When seen the roof around the stovepipe
was in blaze and the destruction of the
building and with it good portion of Reno
seemed inevitable. Fortunately the flames
were not SO far advanced as to defy the
labors of few gentlemen who ran to the
rescue, though one or two of the men were
badly burnt about the hands. The fire was
occasioned by one joint of stovepipe slip
ping down over the one below il, thus per-
hitting the fire and smoke to strike against
the roof. People ought to get their stove
pipes riveted, our town is as dry as powder
magazine, and if a good fire is once kin
died here, good bye Reno.
