THE .CATo OUT ATLAsT.

During tue last canvass in this State,
We heard number of the bright and
shining lights of the party in power, air
their views before the people, and when
ever the question of Negro Suffrage, as
applied to orr own State was raised, they
one aud all declared themselves nnn.ter-
ably opposed to it. We took occasion
then to express our disbelief in the sin
certify OF their declarations, and cndcav-
ored to convince the people that the rndi
Gals. las Il patty were pledged to es'ab-
lisll Negro Suffrage, throughout the Uni
ted states. The issue was fairly made up,
and We were beaten. The radicals, rank
and file, denounced Negro Suffrage as a
myth, which had no existence, except in
the imagination of Copperheads. Now
what is the result!
The smoke OF the battle had hurdly
cleared away, until we see assembled at
/ tho Capitol ofthc Republic, the "Colored
Mems National Convention After the
/ usual palavcr, and much talk by the big
uigs, they appoint Committee to confer
with the judiciary Committee of the
Lower House OF Congress. The Cincin-
matt Commercials special gives the fol-
lowing summary Of the interview:
The Committee appointed BY the Col
ored Mems National Convention to wait
upon the judiciary Committee Of the
House, had an interview with the Com
mittee yesterday, and were received IN a
most cordial manner. Mr.. Weir ad-
dressed the Committee at length, stating
fully the wishes of the Convention and
people he represented relative to their
condition, and most respectfully urged
upon them the importance of taking
! speedy action in the matter Of the cnfran-
c!Iisemcnt of the colorcd population North
and West.
The Chairman of the Judiciary Com.
mlttec, replying to the address OF Mr.
Weir, assured them that Congress WA.
fully alive to the question Of equal rights
and would not fail to take action i'll TIT
matter i'll short time.
The Committee were right in assuring
their colorcd brethren that Congress wa.
fully alive to the question ofcqual rights,
and in proof Of this cinccrity they intro
duced modest little amendment 10 TIT
Constitution of the United States, tn,
next day, which declares that "AcrcgNc'
no S'ate shuN prtrent negroes fran ~
ting, or from holding ofiee !" This is
short, pithy and to the point, and at onc'
exposes the gentlemen who denounced
Negro Suffrage as n campaign dodge
mere lsmum .julmm used by the Demo
Gratis TO scare tinid radicals. The people
will find that this is not the only thing ii
which they have been deceived by thei
unworthy servants, when like the prcsen
instance, it has become too late to remov,
the evils.

armies annihila,ed, men in thous-
ands killed, wounded aud missing,
has not been seen since the terrible
days ofour own war. by estimate,
the Now York Sun, chief supporter
oftho rebels, has reported four times
rs many Spaniards killed % havs
ever been In the government army,
whilo II one.third tho number of
rebels similarly wiped out by the
other side ever existed with n grain
OF sand in their craw, tho Spanish
force could not hpld its position on
the ever faithful isle n week. Tho
last accounts are Of the landing of
1000 muskcts for tho insurgents,
which, TO say the least of il, is n
largo number Of weapons 10 DO land
cd in revolutionary country with
out loss. Tho result. of this all, so
far as ToXas and Louisiana aro con-
cerned, is favorable. 1t breaks up SUI
gar making in Cuba, to great ex-
tent, and is ono of the secrets of tho
great rise in valuo Of the Wnldich
plantation mentioned in this letter.
| take 1t, if this unplcnsantncss
keeps up in the island n year or two
longer, sugar lands here will be good
property TO own, or pay debts with.
When / tell you that Brazcria coun-
ty bonds have sold ut bankrupt sales
as low rs two cents on tho dollar,
you will have realizing sense of
how much an increase in valu5 in
something is requisite to place the
people Of that section fairly on their
feet. Yours truly
