NORTHERN PERKS.
The Southern Negro TO Have the Bal
Rnce of Power

Rnce of Power.
From the New York Herald, June IA.
We desire TO invite the attention of ev-
cry right-thinking man to the way in which
| Congressional reconstruction, if allowed to
stand, will react upon the North.
In the first place, 7l5,948 ignorant ne
groes will be brought in to legislate, not
alone for the South but the North too.
They will elect twenty (2O) Senators and
fifty 800 Representatives, and WELD in
one solid body the entire political weight
Of ten States Seventy legislative votes in
Congress and seventy electoral votes out,
will hold the balance Of power in any
question of policy or a President, and
the balance Of power, when cast, becomes
the ruling power. In a tie vote it IL the
casting vote that wins, and 20, ON anything
like an equal division hereafter, these
7i5,9 Africans will rule America.
In the next place the Constitutions
validated by this Congressional reeonstruc-
ton DISTINGUISHED many hundreds of
thousands of Northern voters by making
suffrage dependent on an oath that afiiant
accepts the civil and political equality of
all men. The bogus Constitutions of Ala
bama, Louisiana, Arkansas and Virginia
do this in sc many words, and the rest by
direct implication. Here, then, is a point
to be considered. II the South becomes
quiet, and Northern men who do not be-
lieve in negro equality wish TO move there,
they cannot do 80 without divesting them
selves Of the highest privilege Of American
citizenship they can neither vote nor hold
office; they are DISTINGUISHED Just as the
secession leaders are DISTINGUISHED, and
this, though they may have fought knee
deep in blood for the Union.
IL these Infamous governments are 20
stand, they will 1isfranehise from Southern
citizenship 255. $40 voters in Ohio, $3.50
in Minnesota, Is, 42l in Kansas, HOS 10
Michigan-all States where this exact
question Of negro equality was voted down,
not 20 speak Of the further djsfranohise-
ment Of 81 ,F54 other voters in the North
who have, in less pronounced form, put
themselves on record a. against the abomi-
nation that this infamous Congress il seek
ing 10 crystalline into organic law
Other points there are to be noticed here
after, but these two in especial, AZ coming
more directly home, are particularly COM
mended to the candid thinker-that Con-
gressional reconstruction will make the ne
groes the balance Of power in this country,
and that two, and perhaps nearer three
millions Of Northern voters are debarred
from Southern citizenship unless they be-
lieve and will swear they are no better than
s negro.

WinGOW al sleeping woman.
About two o'clock yesterday morning
some dastardly ruffian fired a bullet through
the window of the bed room occupied by
the wife, niece and child of NJ Mallory, a
fireman, belonging to No. 4 engine com
pany.
Mrs. Mallory, the niece and child were
IN bed at the time and were aroused by the
shot and the crash Of the bullet On arising
and striking a light she found that the
missile, either rife or a very large pistol
ball had passed along within two inches Of
the sleepers, and buried itself in the door Of
the wardrobe standing near the head ofthe
bed, showing that the wOuld-be murderer
knew very closely where is intended vic
tins were in the habit of lying.
We are informed that this is the second
time that murderous attempt has been
made upon the same partiea, and Mr..
Maiony has not the remotest idea who it is
that bears him and bis family 30 deadly a

he should be treated TO "loDg rope and

The difficulty between Grant and Butler
is hot yst adjusted, notwithstanding the
announcement heretofore of a reconciEa-
ton. Through the services of mutual
friends there has been preliminary effort
to bury the Ratchet or uneork the fgura-
tive hagon. As the case now stands, it
rests with General Grant to determine
whether the matter shall be pursued to an
amicable termination, or Wheihr a defiant
attitude shall be maintained. The friends
Of the General are exceedingly anxious for
an adjustment, in order that, in accordance
with his suggestion, they may work for his
election until November, and they are be-
ginning to affirm that Buffers investiga-
ting enterprises are dilatory tactics, in
which he takes savage pleasure as a
means of delaying the adjournment and
the partisan friends of the Gen
eral from participation in the canvass. The
way has been opened for General Grant to
hasten settlement of the difficulty be-
tween himself and Butler. The latter has
kept his part of the contract, but he will |
