Grant ON Suffrage.
) The Heraldssays etitoriallysa We, learn
/ from the best attainable authority that
General Grant is emphatically in favor OF
50 amending the National Constitution as
/, to limit therein the President to one term,
: and to make universal suffrage, or suffrage
] to male CITIZENS of all races and eolors
/ above the age of twenty-One years, the
! supreme law of the land. With regard to
I universal Suffrage, we suspect the ,Cnnstis
tutional amendment, Article IA. WHICH
provides that the several States may Tegu-
! late suffrage, each for itself. but IN proper
tion as suffrage is restricted representation
shall be restricted, is not considered a set
| tlement by GraatTbut a RUIZ that Will re-
| suit in endless troubles; from the conflict
ing plans likely to be adopted among the
States; hence, no doubt, Gen: Grant has
concluded an amendment making ufifver-
sal manhood suffrage the supreme law OF
