Black Suffrage In Pennsylvania.

An article in the Housua.. r-',ubic, y
Tritten by +. p. Penniman, esq.,, gives SO
clear an account of the history and present
bearing of thls subject, that we reproduce it
in full.
In 1852 Wiiiiam Penn promulgated '.The
Frame of Government" of PENNSYLVANIA.
under authority of the charter granted him
by King Charles II. In this document the
right Of suffrage is given, without restriction
to 'the freeman Of said province
In l7Ol Penn granted what is know as the
Charter of Privileges. BY this instru.
ment the right Of suffrage was broadly given
to 'the freemen of each respective county. "
The first constitution of PENNSYLVANIA was
adopted in l776. The contention that fram.
ed this snSrument was presided over by
Benjamin Franklin. 1t gave the right Of
suffrage to 'eyery freeman Of the full age of
2l years" The men cf the Revolution,
while asserting their OWE rights and iber-
ties against prescription, We're careful to
stand fast to the cardinal idea Of the polti-
cal equality of all men.
In 1890 a new constitution was framed
Thos Millljn presided over the convention
that made it. This instrument gave the
right to vote to every freemen over the age
of 2l years
In 1889 the constitution was revised. -
John Sergeant presided over the convention
The basis of suffrage was changed, 50 as to
include only ''every WHITE freeman ofthe age
Of 81 years H.H"r
For ore hundred aud frty.six years black
men, if black they were, voted in Peunsylya-
mia Oh precisely tAe same condition as white
men. None Of tho evils now prclic ted of
black suffrage were experienced. Neither
the mental or social equality of the two races
was thereby established. Amalgamation,
either through matrimony or without was
not encouraged. Not bluck man was made
Governor or Legislator Social order was
not subverted. The Government was not
made by white mer, for white men, but by
all white men, for the benefit of all.

CREDIT AND CoIN-BETTER PRosPFcTs. -
| The November coin interest is now about all
disbursedl aud nearly the whole Of it has been
retained in the country. IN addition to the
mass OF gold thus put upon the market, the
Sub'Ireasury in this city is, at the present
time selling at the rate Of $500, 600 per day:
and it would seem that the necessities of
the Treasury will require considerable sales
between now aHd the close Of the year. At
the first of the incoming year. or in about
month from ths date She Janpnry dividends
will fall due, and there will then be disburs-
ed nearly $4,000 600 in coin. Much the
greater part of this is due to American
boudholders, and we may expect that the
whole Of it will be retained in the country;
for the very large supply Of cotton already
at the seaboard will presently furnish an
amount of exchange sufficient to obviate all
danger OF our being compelled to make ship
ments of gold, 1t will unquestionable be a
difficult thing for the spectators to retain
the present high premium in the face Of the
immense outflow upon the market from the
L. easury, through nterest-disbursements and
current sales and their late spasmodic
movements and attempted combinations give
evidence of their appreheusions both for the
present and the immediate future. Even
after the heavy disbursements of the next
thirty or forty days, the Government will
hold very great supply Of gold in its vaults
the Official estimate on She subject beng,
we believe, 500, 00G In ate;, The health
and strength of the Treasury at the present
;ime, with the general condition of the f.
nances, and the national prospects, business
and political, are of nature to elevate the
public credit at home and abroad. IN. Y,
