hWhits Mans Government. |"

Our Democratic friends have been dis
posed until quite recently, to go into the
Presidential contest on the negro issue, or
in other words, that thisis ''the white man S
government" The negro prejudice, has
hitherto prevailed strongly in the Demo
cratic party, and has existed to some eX-
tent among Republicans. The abandon
ment of this issue by the Democracy, IS
already beginning to be made manifest; II
is seen that the basing of an issue on the
mere prejudice of color, can have no en-,
during success. Besides, new order OF
things is being reached, in which no such
issue can be Of possible avail.
The Southern States are being reconstruc-
ted by the adoption of constitutions, recog-
nizing negro suffrage. When these shall
have been re-admitted with constitutional
provisions for free suffrage, without re-
spect to color, no Democratic Congress
can change them; the power Of amend
ment will belong alone to the States
Some of the leading Democratic presses,
recognize the coming order Of things,
and are preparing to accept the situa-
ton
The New York World speaking Of the,
future policy of the Democratic party,
which will be necessitated by the admis-
sion of the Southern States, says; at is
too evident for argument that negro suf-
frage cannot be uprooted by the Federal
Government, even under Democratic con
troll When the Democratic party comes
into power, negro suffrage will be the ex-
isting rule of the Southern States; rule
which cannot be rightfully abrogated by
Federal authority" The World advise s
the Democratic party, to adjust its plat
form for the next Presidential cam paign,
in view of the state of facts which are soon
to exist. There are doubtless many thous
ands in the Democratic party, who viii
hold back and refuse for some time yet to
come on to this new platform, which the
far seeing the party, accept as manifest
destiny"

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL-A LONG dis
cussion occurred in the House of Repre-
sentatlves on Tuesday last, ON the bill
making appropriations for Rivers and
Harbors. The Committee on Commerce
had among other Harbors on the western
shore of Lake Michigan, recommended an
appropriation for the Harbor at Kenosha
the sum of $4,000 A vote was not reach
ed on Tuesday; below will be found the
concluding part of the proceedings:
! On motion of Mr.. Paine the item for the
improvement of Milwaukee karbor was in.
creased from SIS, 900 to S25, 900, and that for
the Racine harbor from $40 900 TO 500 600 ana
tnat for henosha harbor from $4,000 TO
| $40, 900.
Mr.. Ashley, of Ohio, inquired why no an.
preparation had been sported for the harbor
of Toledo.
MIR: Elliot replied that last years appro-
prlatlon for that purpose had not vet been ex-
pended, and that it was important that new
surveys should be made and a more perfect
plan OF improvement adopted.
Mr.. Spalding moved an appropriation of
S5O,O00 for increasing the capacity of the ship
canal OF Sault st. Marie. He did so in obedi-
ehce 10 the instructions of his constituents
After considerable discussion by Messrs.
Ssofeld, Pruyu, Blair of Michigan and briggs.
ana without disposing of the question, Mr..
Detano moved to recommit the bill with in
structions to the Committee to report a sub
stitute appropriating $500, 900 for the improve
lehs OF inc narbors on the Northern lakes
