The Negro to Have a Vote.

When Democrats have charged that it
was the purpose of the Radicals, as soon as
they obtained another lease of power, to
establish universal negro suffrage through
ont the United States, it WAS denounced as
q ''Copperhead lie" Let Us see what the
Radicals now say about it themselves
Since the election the \. \. TRIBUNE has
contained the following announcement
Cone of the first measures that viii be
introduced into Congress on its assembling
in December, will be constitutional
amendment providing for the regulation of
Suffrage throughout tie United States. A
bill viii go through without Il doubt, and
the Legislatures of two thirds OF the States
being Republican, the amendment will be
ratified, and the question of suffrage settled
forever. prominent member of Congress
has already prepared sTIch an amendment
IN the shape of bin, which lie will intro
duce on the first day of the session."
Forney, in his Press, sounds the bugle
call rs follows:
The colored man holds the bonds and
pledge of this country. Under the furnace
blast of wax we promised him freedom
We owe not the hollow promise, to the ear
and broken to the hope but the substan-
tlal thing good measure, fIlll, pressed
down. and runhing ont. Let us give it
now, and let the Fortieth Congress snatch
the honor. Common justice, common hi
manity, and common gratitude call on Us
now to enfranchise with the ballot the col
ored man in every State. 1t can be done
safely and successfully. We have no Pres
idential election to impeIil now We are
on the wave of success. Let us use it to
float the ship of state into quiet waters
quiet because they are the great deep of
justice and of right.
Let the Fortieth Congress, i'll December,
as their first and main work, propose an
amendment to the Constitution comforting
the power to vote for national purposes and
officers, on colored men, under equal con-
ditions with white, and submit to the peo-
pie, under the fifth article. Three-fOurths
of the States would rush to ratify it. and
another laurel, ever green and glorious,
would he added to the enduring honors of
our great party.
When it is remembered that this very
party announced in their platform that
in the North lie question Of suffrage be5onged
Of rigLt to he Suites eeciuSiceiy, it will be
seen how honestly their profession com
pares with their practice. Well, We did
our duty. We warned the people not to
be deceived by the specious declarations of
the Chicago platform, and if they can stand
negro suffrage we guess we can.-Er.

The Future of Radicahsm.

Gen. Grant will have in his power, dur
ing the succeeding four years after the
fourth of March. to give to the party which
elected him perpetuity "f power or to
consign it to defeat and oblivion. BY ta-
king the Federal Constitution as his chart,
and adapting his policy and acts strictly IN
accordance with it, exacting from all his
subortlinates rigid adherence to the re-
quirpments Of honesty, civilization and
christianity, and keeping the malignants,
the rorIuptionists, and the demagogues at
arms length from power, he can render his
party almost immortal The good of all
parties would flock to his support, thereby
strengthening him beyond overthrow whilst
the bad only would desert him The whites
of the south, now antagnistic to his party,
would hail him rs their deliverer, and strike
hands with him in eternal friendship. The
lands of the south would again TEEN with
haryests, and from pinntation To planta-
ton would resound the song of gladnesS,-
From the ashes of the war would spring up
all the lost industries. and amid the gener
al prosperity of that section, the Northern
people would come i'll Tor an abundant
share Besides this, instead of the national
debt increasing and weighing like mill
stone upon labor. it would decrease and
not be felt rs 4 burden. On the other
hand by acting outside the Constitution :;
surrounding himself with the harpies who
have already so greatly injured the country :;
and making himself the mere agent of the
R6mp fanatics in carrying out their des
picable plans tor individual aggrandize-
ment, he will assure,ily do6m lis party to
dissolution and himself to everlasting infa-
my.
1t remains to bc seen whether General
Grant Will have the nerve to DO right and
go counter to his political ASSOCIATES, or
whether he viii prove So weak or SO basely
biased as TO carry out their behests and
sink the country still deeper in ruin. As a
partisan We should desire 10 see him out
Herod his hackers in Radicalism, SO as to
Kill his Internal party, but, as Il patriot and
humanitarian, We must pray that he will
not do so. 1t is yet too soon to prognosti-
cate as TO his course, bat the best augury,
in favor Of the slIpposition that he will not
play the devil generally, rs hi, party lead
ers nave been doing for SO long, is that a
tremor of suspense and fear seems to per-
wade the Radical ranks throughout the
country, interfering very materially with
their loyal work of dividing mp the pro
spective spoils. Under the circumstances
We can only hope for the best, and, as good
citizens labor to save the country against
any sort OF Radical r;lsc;.iity that may come
after Bellefo"te ITGacHmo..

Progressive Loilty.

! VIM. ID. Kelley, member Of Congress
Philadelphia. proposes to introduce on the
first day of the session an amendment to
the Constitution providing for universal
suffrage" The plain name of Mr.. kel-
leys project Is, Negro Suffrage i'll all the
! States.
Our Radical masters interpret the late
elections As sanctioniug the movement of
Mr.. Kelley. They do not see, i'll the elec-
tion OF General Grant, anything )ut an ex-
preston of the people III favor OF giving
the Negro absolute political dominion in
South
Although the amendment, il successful
extends to all the States, it Will be of no
consequence in the North, as far as politi-
cal power goes Where there are few ne
groes or none at all their votes will change
nothing-effect nothing. 1t is not intend
ed by Kelly and his co-workers that it should
affect the Northern States. The object is
only to give the Negro the reins of govern
.ment in the South-to give to the Gospel
of Hate a practical application and field
upon which It's banner may be erected.
Even this scheme to prop the failing dy-
NASTY of Radicalism will he abortive. 1t
could succeed only by attaching proviso
to kelley's amendment that the Negro
must vote the Radical ticket. For the in
stincts of his race viii teach him to shun the
carpet -baggers and scalawag who ask his
suffrages, and who now represent the Radi-
cal party in the South. Amendment or
no amendment, the more respectable and
refined of the Southern negroes will vote
the Democratic ticket. There is to them
nothing lovely in the lantern-jawed carpet
baggers who roam over the South hunting
for Congressional vacancies and Guberna-
torial chairs under the presnt bayonet rule
The old masters of the negroes, if they
were harsh and exacting, were at least gen.
tlemen. Under the new regime, the negro
knows that his lot is cast with the white
people who have grown up with him that
as they prosper he viii prosper that even
equality does not consist i'll making him the
master of his late master but that a recon-
struction which takes away bayonet Kule
and restores confidence between the Two
races is as beneficial to him rs to the white
man. Knowing all this, the negro in Geor-
gia, or in any other Southern State, is not
going to fuse with the first Massachusetts,
yankee that comes into his neighborhood
and wants to represent his district in Con-
gress.-Er

A Negro Offce-Holder.

1t seems that Gov. Geary has determined
not only to carry the load which his Dep
uty Secretary of the Commonwealth, Cara,
laid upon his shoulders in his letter to the
recent African convention in this city, but
to weight himself even more heavily by is
suing a commission of office to negro, in
defiance of the constitution which he is
sworn to support.
One Peter Smith, an African, has recently
been commissioned by the Governor, as con-
stable, or policeman, for tie torn Of Helfe,,-
stein, Sctuy!k:iH county
The Governor, by this action, has set at
naught the constitution of Pennsylvania,
which, as every one knows, does not recog-
nize the negro as qualified either to vote or
hold Office. He has deliberately broken
his solemn oath to maintain that constitu-
ton, as well insulted every white man in
the State by issuing that commission
Doubtless the Governor imagines that the
course he has seen fit to pursue, will rec
ommend him to the radical party for re-
nomination. But we are much mistaken
if there be not men, even in that party, to
whom such bid for the favor of the ultra
radicals will bring nothing but disgust
Perhaps the Governor will find out, some
day, that the white men of PENNSYLVANIA
are not, after all, so very anxious to take
the negro into political partnership. If
the coming Legislature dare to cheat the
people out of the right to settle the suffrage
question for themselves, the Governor will
learn, to his hearts content, what it is to
stand upon Negro Suffrage Platform in
the Keystone State.-Hmris5uy Patriot.

De- Geary's refusal to award commits
sion to Hon. Henry ID. Foster, the regu-
larly and fairly elected member of Congress
from the 23d district is one of his charac-
teristically small ones, and he perform
about as small an act as any public man in
the State. Mr.. Foster had majority of
the votes of the district and received his
certificate Of election from two of the three
return Judges The other judge, no doubt
prompted by the great alligator" or his
friends, refused to put his name to the GER
tifcate, but refused to give Covode a sep
arate certificate. Geary takes advantage of
the captiousness or rascaGty of this return
judge and plays scamp also by withholding
Mr.. F's commission. Covode, it is said,
viii contest before the Rump House, where
he knows Democracy and honesty never
had the ghost Of chance against any ras-
cally scalawag of his negro party.

SILVER PLATED WARE.

D McKOwn respectfully announces TO the people

Silver put the gods, the cheaper it is done

SO or 46 OF. would be far economical Yet
OF plate is called good plate by the trade and.
poor as it is but small portion of all the goods
made come up 10 this standard. "0unce plate" ;" in
paters language means the number Of ounces OF
silver To- the gross of table spoons All other sur
faces are estimated by these For example, des-
serts estimated At 34 and tea sIoons at l-2 the

forks. II TO the gross of dessert spoons forks
and 8 or to the gross of teaspoons This quality
Of plate will cost On the Average, twice much rs

on it, Thirty-six OF. plate will cost about three
times as much as OF and will contain nine times
the amount Of silver it. Thirty-sx OF. plate is
the ghtest that will allow the engraving it, Of

four times as much as plate, and will contain

about e-hals much solid silverware of ordi-
dinary weight and for every day will be more

solid silyerware is made much too light to be durs-
bic in constant use. The terms double treble
