JArAN.-Admiral Rowan, commanding the
Asia;ic squadron, has sent dispatches to Wash
ugtou, dated at Yokohama, July %, giving
interesting information concerning the civil war
in Japan. After narrating the movements of
the hostile forces, he says the country is now
at peace and likely to remain so. The Tycoon
is voluntary prisoner at his own castle, and
his family, the most powerful and influential
In the empire, has been deprived Of much of
Its income BY order Of the Mikado, at the in.
stance, no doubt, Of the southern Princes, who
combined and deprived the Tycoon OF the al
most supreme power which his family had held
for hundreds OF years.

SPANISH FINANCES. The financial exhibits

interest on the national debt is So, 900, 900,
while the other national expenditures are set
down Sill. 900, 900, making total OF $l49,-

revenues are only Sl07,000,0 900, leaving GER
tain deficiency Of S42 900, which may pos
sibly be still larger, even without further out

to forty cents on the dollar, and that was taken
by Spaniards rather as matter OF patriotic

these arguments this reply: All that
YOU saw is well enough when applied
to a country inhabited by a cultivated
and HOMOGENEOUS race, but it fails TO
convince when applied to the colored
people of this country. They are, and
must ever be. subject race, nor can
the highest function of the citizen ever
be exercised by them without danger
| TO the republic.
ITO this we reply that we were not
acknowledged as citizens until we had
undergone q long probation of more
than two hundred years. In that time
we watched at your bedside when you
were sick, wept when you died, tolled
at your side when you labored, died at
your side when you fought. In that
| time you had a good opportunity to OBJ
serve and estimate our industrial worth,
our intelligence and our patriotism.
Having observed and estimated, you
admitted us to the rank of citizens can
you now consistently withhold the cit
liens sure defense-the ballot! :"
"Our detractors assert that we would
only work when the masters whip
drove. Let.the millions of pounds of
cotton ripening this moment under the
southern sun, planted, tended and to be
gathered by free negro hands, serve to
give the lie to that charge. As for our
| intelligence, let our hundreds of teach
ers and thousands of pupils, our hun
dreds of ministers and thousands OF
communicates, our professors, our ply
sicians, our editors, our lawyers, our au-
thors, and above all our names of men
and women who understand and play
their part creditably in this complicated
American civilization, answer. And for
our patriotism, go to Fort Pillow, to
Milliken's Bend, to the sands of Wag-
ner, to Petersburg, to Nashville Hill,
and ask our heroes who died that the
nation might live, whether we love our
country.
The disposition TO make the govern
ment really Democratic republic
should be gratified. Neither as individ-
uals, nor as States do you force negro
suffrage upon them, but majority of
the citizens of the United States decide
that justice requires the establishment
of the rule of manhood suffrage, and
the minority submits, as is proper
every amendment to the Constitu-
ton, and the Constitution itself had a
minority opposed to it, yet they are now
the laws of the land, and there is no talk
of amendments having been forced upon
unwilling States
