The southern Votes Bill.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
with reference to the bill which has just
passed Congress, relative to votes of the
States lately in rebellion in the Presi-
Dental election, says:
1t is an undisguised political device,
designed TO make sure the election of
Grant and Colfax by throwing out of the
electoral college every Southern Demo-
cratic State. We doubt whether any hon.
orable man Of either party can be found
to apologize for or extenuate this scheme.
II realized il may achieve The sue
cess Of Grant and Colfsx, but it will

party which permitted 90 fragrant =

refuse to admit Southern electoral votes,

On the subject Of selecting eur Demo-

before the nomination, and gave a great
deal Of remarkably disinterested advice.
They were evidently anxious that We
should select Chase, in the hope Of
catching a few Republican votes. As
Chase was half Democrat, and half Re

position where their battle would be half

The Freedmen's Bureau is no great pet
with the Northern people. 1t takes too
much of their money to support it. 1t
costs too many millions of dollars, not
one in twenty of which the negroes, for
whom it is pretended to be kept up, ever
get. 1t is kept up for the benefit of Rad

Black river country, assisted by the Sec
ond Wisconsin cavalry. The Jew offered,
as was the custom, e.fourth the profits.
Grant wanted more, and at last the Jew
offered an eighth, which Grant accepted.
The cotton was got out and shipped to
Memphis, and sold. The Jew, faith
full to his promise, met Grant With the
proceeds of the sale, and gave the Gene
raj one-eighth Of the profits and de-
parted. Grants Adjutant- General, sur
prised at the smallness of the profits,
spoke to the General about it, who was
so exasperated on learning that one
eighth was less than one-fourth, that he
within that hour issued the order expel-
ling all Jews from the lines, and TO this
day has never forgiven the entire race for
his own stupidity.
