Negro suffrage In the south.

The late elections have fully ~vindicated
the policy of negro suffrage in the rebel
States. Neither the white or black vote
vas cast sIl on one side. Taking the rep
RESERVATIONS Of the Democratic papers for
authority, both were divided-not in the
middle, OF any where mar i, perhaps
but some blacks went TO the Democrats,
snd probably more whites went with the
Radicsls-and the divisiondestroyed what
ever ground there was for the clamor pre-
yiously raised about the whites being ar
rayed agsinstth the blacks, war Of races, etc.
The result, in every instance has been
the adoption Of g free Constitution, where
BY five States will shortly resume their
proper places in the Union, the election of
loyal State officers and q large majority Of
Republicans TO Congress. The loyal whites
could No. nave achieved this alone. It
was BY reinforcing them with the no less
loyal blacks that reconstruction has been
carried forward almost TO completion, and
in the interest Of the principles Of Freedom
and Progress, against which the South re-
belled. Herein was the necessity, and the
result Is The complete Yindicstion of the
policy of Congress. The negro, armed
with the ballot, has done a serEiceof which
nobody else was capable. The ballot was
given to him as the musket had been-to
help pat Tia rebellion down. But for such
snecessity, it isto be doubted whether the
South would have seen universal suffrage.
The previous condition of the blacks nat
urally suggested grave doubts; but the sug-
gestion OF the alternative, that is. the u
premacy Of the rebels and the re enact
ment in variety Of ways, of the old slave
code, instantly dispelled them. If the
blacks were so utterly ignorant, they must
have learned rapidly; for the result shows
that 3 vast majority Of them have voted as
intelligent men. The result proves every
thing. We have only to reverse the case
and consider, for moment, how it would
have been had not the loyal Southern
whites been thus reinforced. The worst
element left alive BY the war would be in
the ascendancy in the South. No loyal
man would dare TO raise his voice there,
and ali the Southern States would to-day
be ruled 5y men bent On nothing so much
IS the redemption of the lost cause. All
this wa foreseen, and the country has
abundant reason for expressing its graft
tude to Congress for arming the blacks
with tie ballot, IS It armed them with the
muskeiin the dark days Of the rebellion.

The wastefulness, extravaganza and excess

ChardOn.

Chardon, the village that suffered the
entire destruction of its business quar-
ter on Saturday morning last, is the
county seat of Geauga county. 1t is %
miles northeast of Cleveland, and 10
miles south of Painesville. The vii.
lage was laid out in 1908, by Peter
Chardon Brooks, of Boston-then pro-
prietor of the soil-and is beautifully
situated upon a high ridge 600 feet
above the lake, Chardon contains about
1,500 inhabitants, and is one of the most
deli ghtful villages in the State. Situa-
ted in the midst of the great cheese
county of the United States, the trade
in that commodity has given marked
impetus to the business of the vii
lage-flling it with profitable activity.
The question of moving the county
seat from Chardon to Burton has been
much moo.ed of late. and it might seem
probable, at first thought, that the great
disaster that has destroyed the court
house and Jail would of itself cause the
removal. There is no doubt, however,
thatiit will have precisely opposite eff
feet. The sympathy of the citizens
about Chardon is aroused in its favor,
and the county seat will not be moved.
We understand that the burnt district
will be rebuilt soon, and it is possible
that the fire may eventuate in profit to
the village, as did the two fires that de-
vastated Painesville few years ago.

The /" CoyTeo," of Vera Cruz states
that a Mexican died recently in that city
1o4 years old. A San Francisco paper
also speaks of a Spaniard, now living
in Todos Los Santos, in Lower Cali
fornia, who was born in 1874, and is con-
sequently in his hundred and twenty
fifth year. This patriarch, whose name
is Simon Avilos, served in the Spanish
army more than century ago. He
was a member of the guard which ac-
companied Padre Junipero Sierra to AL
ia California, and saw the Holy Cross
planted in the village of San Diego,
about one hundred years ago. Not,
withstanding his advanced age, he is
said tosretain his memory in excellent
