The COpperhcad press have for months
represented that immense numbers OF white
men were disfranchised in the South, some
of them asserting that in several States a
majority of that class were denied the right
Of voting. According to figures recently
sent to Congress by Gen. Grant, we arc told
that in Virginia the whole number of whites
registered is 100, III, and the whole number
who failed to register, judging from the tax
list and other data, is l6,333, making the
total white male population of voting age
l86,454. There is nothing to show with
certainty the number disfrsnohiscd, but it
must fall considerably short of the number
failing to register. Yet assuming that every
man registered who could do so under the
laws, less than twelve per cent of those who
did not register are distranchised. or 12, 25S,
then less than nine per cent of the whole
are disfranchiscd. This is probably very
near the exact figure. In North Carolina
the number of whites of voting age is about
l26, 200, of whom II ,6s6 are disiranchised,
or little more than nine per cent In
South Carolina the figures are Whole
number of whites, $3.50; disfranchsed
s,2i4, or a little more than fourteen pei
cent. Georgia: Whole number of whites
ia, ,933 disfranchised, 10000 or q little
less than nine per cent The reports from
the other Rebel States do not show tho
number DISTINGUISHED. We are told that in
Florida but few are disfranchised, and nearly
all were registered and have voted 1t i.
altogether probable that the proportion dis
| iranchised in the other States is not greater
than in the four States above named. The
average in those States is but trine oyeI
ten per cent. That is, one in ten of tho
white men of the Southern States are dis
iranchised on account of their participation
in Rebellion.-N Y. Tribune.
