NEGRO SUFFRAGE ArrHE SOUTH.


A correspondent of the Chicago Republi-
can, writing from New Orleans, after put
ting several things together, is not as favor
ably impressed with the situation as he
might desire. After stating why the ne
groes are disinclined to labor-bad crops
and no pay-the writer says:
'The facts, together with negro suffrage,
is fast widening the gulf of discord into a
sea Of troubles, political and industrial. l
think that if Congress had limited repre-
sentation TO actual uoterS in the South, al
lowing each State to give the ballot to the
blacks, gradually, when educated, and thus
increase their representation in Congress
at their own option, that we should have
had no trouble with reconstruction. 1t is
folly to attempt TO force negro rule upon
the South.
at can only be done by military power.
What Ohio, New York and Illinois will not
accept for themselves, they should not i'm
pose upon the Southern States. The pill
is too big and too black to be taken down
en- mGsss. 1t should have been sub
divided"
And even if the blacks of Ohio, New
York and Illinois were admitted to the
polls, that would not justify bestowing
suffrage on the newly-emancipated from
slavery, says the Cincinnati Enquirer; for
the negroes of the Northern States are, as
a class, far more intelligent than are those
of the Southern States. Well may the
writer to the Republican say that the indis-
position of the blacks to labor and negro
suffrage are "fast widening the gulf of dis
cord into a sea of political troubles, politi-
cal and Industrial"

New YORK, March 2l.-The snow
storm continues unabated and travel is
much impeded. Considerable damage was
done by the gale, many buildings being
injured and windows broken. The rafters
of the new markethouse, at the foot of East
street, was blown down while the workmen
were at dinner. The pilot boat Edmund
Blunt went ashore and bilged. Two Jersey
ferry boats collided but were not material
ly injured. No trains have arrived on the
Erie or Harlem railroad to-day. Those on
the Jersey Central aud from the South are
much behind time. The Eastern trains are
stopped entirely.
The Albany Journal Of last evening states
that the Governor has finally decided to
refuse pardon to young Ketehum.
The Erie directors are at Taylor's Hotel
in Jersey city. No further attempt has
been made on their liberty. An injunction
has been granted by Judge Clark, restrain
ing the Receivers appointed by Judge
Barnard from acting, but has not yet been
served upOn them.

RADICAL GOVERNMENT GOVERN
MFNT OF FORCE

The New York Journal Of Commerce is
showing that the immense standing army
the Radicals are quartering upon The South
making slaves of taxpayers North
can be for no other purpose than TO aid the
tyrants and traitors in the capitol to pro-
long their power, in spite of the people.
Well may the editor ask
"Why shonld we keep over $4,000 men
in uniform, at an expense of hundred
millions year? Last year the cost was
more than that. Between January 1st and
October Doth, 1867, (ten months) it
amounted to 500, 8O7, OOO-all of which
went for nothing, barring few millions
for some clumsy Indian work. This year,
the estimate, including a deficiency, is
81, l24, 707 but government estimates are
always too low, and we must not expect to
get off under the round fat figures of $780,
100000. Again we inquire, why is this
costly army kept mp, in the face of every
fact-and every argument against its neces-
sity ?"
Why? Any man with half an eye can
see and understand why.

A Washington telegram of the 10Th
inst to the Cincinnati Gazette says the
Presidents counsel say they will be quite
ready with their answer on Monday; and
it is also stated that Mr. Evarts is prepar-
ing an argument for a considerable post
ponement of the trial The dispatch con-
tains the following:
"On the part Of the managers, the case
is advancing rapidly. Butler is to open,
and is preparing bis argument. Bingham,
of course, by virtue of his position, will
close. There is a virtual understanding
that the House will suspend all business
during the hours of the trial Managers
will be ready by Wednesday to pass their
replication through the House The pro-
liabilities COW are that the trial will be or.
dered TO begin the following Monday"

IMPEACHMENT LEADS TO REPUDI
ALTON.


The impeachment of President johns
son, it will be observed, says the New
York Herald, is producing a depression
of our government securities in Europe
They have an idea over there that this
thing means a revolution outside the es-
tablished order of things, while here We
feel comparatively easy because we all
know that the impeachment even Of the
President of the United States is con-
stitutiOnal proceeding But for all that,
considering the extraordinary circum-
stances under which the Radical party
in Congress hold the power of impeach-
ment and the purposes they have in view,
this impeachment of Andrew Johnson is
revolutionary movement, from which
the government NAV be so radically re-
constructed as to leave our five~twenties
and ten-forties as worthless as the Rebel
bonds of jeff Davis, payable one year
after treaty Of peace between the gov
eminent of the Confederate States and the
United States of America" This inn
parchment is thing which, carried out
to the removal Of Johnson and the pro-
motion of "Old Ben Wade" to his place,
cannot fail to produces political agitation
and confusion of ideas in regrrd to what
the government is, what it was, and what
it is to be, which will swell the ranks of
the rising reputation party, East and
West, till they hold the balance of power
in Congress. Even Wall street, we ap-
prehend, will begin to feel a pressure Of
this sort before the 4th of March, 1869.

The Freedmen's Bureau is not as pop,

passage in the Senate is regarded as i'm
probable" 1t is added in the dispatch

Whatever may come oft, these changes,
accomplished without necessity and with

where everything is brought in question
after three-quarters of century. The
Congress which iabors to-day for the Radi-

WASHINGTON, March 20-Gen. Han

condition of the fifth military district as
healthy aud improving. He thinks it doubt
full if the convention has been carried in
Texas, but if it has the revised registration

adopt or reject the Constitution. General
Hancock says it is by no means certain
that negro constitution will be adopted
in Louisiana, all whites entitled to registra-
ton having been allowed that privilege by
the registrators.
The General says he sapposes he was
ordered here for consultation in regard to
affairs in the fifth district, but the impress
sion prevails that he will command the
Atlantic department.
1t is announced that Gen. Gordon Gran

Horace Greeley is here on a political

Chase this evening. The Radicals are
alarmed at certain Presidential movements
here, in which Chase's name has been used,
and Greeley was sent to still the troubled
waters. The Chief Justice is indignant at
the treatment of the Radical party, and
positively refused TO be identified with the
movement in favor of Grant, which Gree
ley plead with him to do. His refusal also
to become tool of the conspirators against
johnson in the impeachment trial meets
with bitter denunciatiOn from the conspira-
tors and other rascals.
No doubt is entertained Of the result of
the Connecticut election. The question of
the right of negroes to vote enters the
canvass, and this alone will defeat the
Radicals. The Democratic majority it is
claimed will exceed two thousand

THE MEMPHIS JEFFREYs.

The Louisville Courier has a special
dispatch from Memphis, from which we
extract as follows:
"The notorious Radical Judge Hunter,
Brownlow's pimp, turns out to be a de-
faulter and Jail bird. An official docn-
ment furnished the Avalanche, from Muen,
Ohio, where Hunter resided in l847, shows
him in his true light. The court records
prove him to be a defaulter to the county
while acting Trustee to the amount of six
thousand and some hundred dollars. He
was imprisoned in the Celina county, Ohio
Jail, in 1856 for embezzlement, and served
out a term Of one year, and served out an
other term il the Muen Jail for larceny.
They are the kind Of men Brownlow Sc
lects for political tools. Hunter undertook
to suppress the AuaIonehe, but the Ara
lanche has suppressed him and his court.
There are probably errors here as ia
