MANHOOD SUFFRAGE IN THE SOUTH
The Lynchburg Virsinian oc the 18th ult
has an article On the proposed fifteenth
amendment TO the Constitution, establishing
manhood suffrage in all the States of the
unicn. The Yirginian does not admit any
change in its opinions On the subject Of
negro suifi age, but intinates that if the pill
we're only sugar-coated with universal
smnesy Virginia might make out to take it.
The proposition that the Northern States
should adopt the principle as well as the
Southern is also producing its natural effect.
and if we would convince the Southern peo-
pie of our sincerity when We declare that
manhood suffrage IS not an evil but bies-
+. NJ, We must show them that we are not
afraid to try what we recommend. The Vir-
sinian SAYS:
For ourselves. We may say that we have
fo-ght this m after on principle, never having
been able 10 view it in the light Of erret!iea-
- but ii we are to be overborne by the
rs,morseless ma iori;y of the North, and they
all apply tbs principle to themselves. we
shall have much less right to complain.
e-en though larger share of the evil of
unlimited negro suffrage will fall to US. In
that case we should accept it, for better or
for worse.

THE RESULT IN WEST VIRGINIA.-The
West Virginia Legislature consists of sixty
one Republicans and seventeen Democrats.
OF the vote for President the Wheeling In
telligenccr says:
Returns of the Presidential vote in the
State from thirty-two counties show gain
over the vote for Governor in October of
3,4i3. The Republican majority in October,
as reported elsewhere, in hfty-two counties
is 4.755. The county to be heard from will
make it 4,SO0. If the twenty-one counties
not heard from on the Presidential vote go
just as they did in October, Grants ma oritJ
is already S,243. We shall not now be sur
prised if those twenty-one counties gain near
a thousand on their Republican majorities
in October. We therefore estimate Grants
majority in the State as not far from nine
thousand.
How are you, Democratic majority of

TIIa FORTS AT THE GOLDEN GArE.-The
San Francisco Times thus describes what
has been done and is doing in and about the
fortiications at the entrance Of the Bay:
Operations al the great fortifcation on the
northern side OF the entrance to San Fran
cisco. under the snperiutendency of Colonel
Mendel, are about to be suspended, owing to
the exhaustion Of the appropriation made by
Congress several years since for that pun
pose 1t i believed. however, that an ad-
ditiCnal appropriation will be made this win
ter. In these piping times Of peace there
wodld seem to be no immediate necessity for
a vigorous prosecution Of the work. especially
as the fort on the opposite or San Francisco
side OF the Golden Gate is a formidable affair
and commands the entrance to the harbor
eifectualiv, The brick masonry, however,
which constitutes that work and which was
before the outbreak of the war Of
the rebellion, ard consequently before the
present ST. le OF heavy guns was brought into
use, it is thought would not be proof against
the attack of au ironclad fleet. The fort at
Lime Point VIII be of the most Tremendous |
sire myth. 1t will consist mainly of water |
batteries. bat there will also be a grand |
array Of heavy guns in raSemate. The water
batteries will mount the heaviest guns known

wenty Inch monsters there, in such posi-
ion as 10 deal out inevitable destruction to
however numerous fleet might attempt to
.un the awful gauntlet. With these two
orts San Francisco may be regarded as the
Iibralter of the Pacific, and in a condition
. defy attack from seward. Inside the
larbor the works at Alcatraz Island and
hose at Angel Island and Black Point are
more familiar to the public. Government
ne ineers on this coast manifest deep in
crest in TIE completion of the Lime Point
ort. 1t is essentially work of national
Importance. When fully constructed and

THE [. s. BRANCH MINT IN SAN

| THE I. s. BRANCH MINT IN San FRAN
CIsco.-1he San Francisco Bulletin Of the
9Th instant furnishes the following facts
relative to the proposed new branch mint in
that city:
1t is generally known that several years
since, the 100 vara lot on the westerly corner
of Mission and Fifth streets, was purchased
by the United States Government fer site
for a new Branch Mint, in place of the con-
tracted premises on Commercial street. The
price paid for the land was about so 900.
An appropriation for the Branch Mint was
made by ongress-lS64-6-o $500. 900, bat
it is presumed the cost will exceed that sum-
Colonel J. I. Morse, the Architect of the
Department on this coast, has received in
structions from y. 3. Mullett, Supervising
Architect Of the Treasury Department at
Washington, to make a series Of experiments
by boring, with a view OF aScertainIng the
depth and character OF the formation eff sand.
etc, on this lot. The result Of the examina-
ton, so far as made, shows a depth Of sand
of twenty seven feet; then stratum of four
feet of hard clay: then depth of ten feet OF
hard, compact sand, without water. Some
doubts had been expressed TO the nature
of this foundation, report being CIRCULATED
that it rested upon an old morass. The ex-
animation already made shows c1nclusively !
that there can be no better foundation short |
of solid rock, similar to that under the |

"THE RIGHT SPIRIT"
READ AND CONDEMN
The Right Spirit.

The New York World, referring to the
passage of the Electoral College Bill and the
idea that it is the purpose OF the Radicals
to have Grant for President, whether the
people say or not, declares with significance
and emphasis:
''No outcry about revolution" will deter
the Democratic party from doing its whole
duty. We have borne with patience much
that we would not have borne at all, but for
the expectation Of relief in this Presidential
election. The time has now come when
majority of the people of the whole coun-
try will assert their right to control the Gov
eminent of the country. If the Republican
party are majority of the aoaoIe country,
we will submit; if they are not a majority
of the whele adult male population, they
SHALL SUBMIT, or else "aoe wH know the
reason aohy." If they exclude us from the
polls, Or refuse to count our votes, we shall
be none the less majority in consequence
of such exclusion, and being "a majority, and
having the preponderance of physical
strength, the Democratic party will not be
found so wanting in manhood as to be ruled
by reckless, usurping minority"

The Prospect in North-Carolina.

If a peaceable election is permitted in the
State in the coming fall, there is no doubt of
a majority for Grant and Colfax of at least
twenty thousand. The entire Supreme Court
bench; all the district Judges, with one or
two exceptions, will support this ticket.
A great many solid citizens, who have
heretofore called themselves Conserva-
tives, are going to vote with us
because they are well aware that the
future peace of the country and their
own individual happiness and that of their
families depends upon the election of Grant
and Colfax. The people are beginning to
find out that the alarm of war which the
Republicans are sounding is no vain alarm.
The people want peace; Grant wants peace;
hence the people are for Grant. Rebel poll:
tlcians, who are bankrupt in character, in
fortune and in hope, are endeavoring to in
cite war, in comparison with which
the horrors of the "tomahawk and the
scalping knife would appear legitimate
warfare These desperate and wicked men
have nothing to lose. They have lost their
all (Which was not much) but what is worse
they have already brought the people to beg
gary and ruin. The people will take care
that these creatures, carried away by so
much ambition are not allowed to march to
an infamous notoriety, through fire and
slaughter. The prospects in the State arc
bright. There will not be so hard battle
as was fought over the Constitution. And
then, the people were so wretchedly deceived
by men who had formerly the reputation of
men of truth, that they will hardly be the vic
tins of such palpable lies again. The ques
ton of mixed schools and militia is settled,
satisfactorily to all in spite OF all the lies of
"our best men," The ''nigger" is notsin the
field this time 1t is Grant and peace and
prosperity, or Seymour and war and ruin to
every property holder in the South.
Let the Legislature speedily pass the Po-
lice Bill. Give us the means of securing
fair and free election and all will be well.
II no such force is provided, intimidation
and starvation will do the work and Repub-
licans will have no one but themselves to
blame when they see the State government
in the hands of armed rebels, and see them
selves driven in disgrace from the country
or throwing their lives away in a vain strug-
gle at home.

Let US have Peace GEN. GRANT.
PLAIN Talk.

The Sentinel is cooling around Oliver Deck
cry, Esq, member of Congress, elected by
the Radicals of North Carolina. The same
rebel journal extols Nathaniel Boyden to
the skies for his activity in having the disa-
bilities removed from rebels. Now the Re-
publicans have no claims upon Mr.. Boyden
whatever. On the contrary, he has lost US
thousand votes in his District and, in fact,
has been the only disorganizer who has been
able to do us any damage. His relief of
rebels who have engaged in and en-
couraged mobs to break up Repub-
lican greetings and insult Republican
speakers, has endeared him to all rebel
hearts, and estranged him from all the good
and true. We expect all this from Mr..
Boyden. He is the open and avowed
enemy of the Republican party; he wishes
to see that party destroyed root and branch,
and hence his insidious attacks upon it.
As we said before, we expect nothing but
opposition from MI. Boyden. But with MIR.
Oliver Dockery it is otherwise. He was
elected Republican, and we call upon the
Sentinel for the proof that Mr. Dockery has
deserted the North Carolipa Republican ale
gatiation and gone over to Boyden and the
enemy. Republicans have seen too much;
they have suffered too much to place in the
hands of their enemies the rod with which
they are to be beaten. The Republican par
ty can afford to spare any man, and be
gamer by the transaction, rather than have
his diluting influence inside the party. Once
for all, the party is infinitely stronger with
fewer men who are of true pluck, than with
a house full of -kneed brethren. Let a
sharp lookout he kept in Republican eau
cuses, and if any man thinks a resolution
aimed at him, which is only intended to
purge the party, let that man be watched.
