The Deficiency bill was considered in
the Committee of the Whole, and the
appropriations for custom-house and
postoffice at Nashville were rejected.
A motion to reduce the Quartermas-
ter's appropriation from two million hive
hundred thousand dollars to five hun
dred thousand dollars, was rejected.
After long discussion on the action
to pay back salary to the Minister at
Portugal, it was struck out and the bill
was reported back to the House and laid
aside for future action.
The reports of the Conference Com.
mittee on the Naval Appropriation bill
and on the bill in reference to the pay OF
deputy collectors and assistant assessors
of internal revenue were made and agreed
to, and the House then took up the
amendments to the Legislative Appro-
priation bill.
The Deficiency bill finally passed, and
after some other unimportant business
the House adjourned.

Cuban Insurreetion.

HAVANA, February 27.-The volun-
teers who have been modified are pre-
pairing to take the field. Some mer-
chants from Cienfuegos have purchased
arms for the defense Of their city. The
Government has also supplied them with
rifles and artillery. The authorities OF
Havana refuse a clearance to the Ameri-
can brig J. D. lincoln, from Sierra,
Morocco, because that port has been
declared closed.
Reports from Trinidad say that the
troops who have been operating against
the insurgents have returned with q
number Of prisoners. In the engage

Our course ON Negro sufFrage.

The stand which we have made bold
TO proclaim in opposition to the right OF
negroes to hold Office and exercise
the privilege Of elective franchise has
everywhere all over the country -
met the views and appreciation of South
ern men. We are coutinually-almost
every day : receiving letters from our
friends commendatory Of the policy
on this question maintained BY the
LEDGER. We would in a line return
thanks to all our friends for the kind
words spoken of us through their letters
and feel doubly asshed of our being
right, since the position of the LEDGER
has accorded with their views on this
question of suffrage, which underlies
our entire system of republican polity.

leading papers of Kentucky, speaking
in words commendatory Of our course
had the following editorial a few days
since:

tiny, and the watchdog bays the moon
when nothing less remote disturbs his
vigils.
The question at issue is not the errors
and shortcomings Of the Southern peo-
Die. That unfortunate people have &C.
cepted the results of war, and the mass
of them are truly endeavoring to remain
ouiescent, and to get back to the old
condition of things. None but fre-eaters
and Radicals are thrusting obstacles in
the way of such contamination. This
end can only be attained by removing
the grand results of our mutual errors,
known as the National Debt We are
paying $3.50, OOO.O per year as interest
on this debt, which, when paid, does not
reduce the principal single cent. This
interest does not benefit the mass OF the
people-the laborers, and producers, and
tax-psyers-but goes to the untsxed
bondholders who, personally, is of no
more benefit in the sustensnce OF the
Government expenditures than the man
who earns nothing. These bondholders
are the droues in the hive, privileged to
subsist upon the industrious class who
make all the honey. 1t is to be hoped
that the busy bees will soon set upon
the drones and thrust them from their
plethoric resorts.
If this niger whistle can divert Its
attention for moment from African
electioneering, we suggest that it con-
slider the question under discussion. 1t
is useless, as we'll as weak, and smacks
of schoolboyish resentment, and babyish
petulance, to gable over past errors
which cannot be remedied no more than
the color of Ethiopian idols can be
transformed into snowy white. We
have read such articles hundred times
before, and have got to that state OF
mind that we can say with Butler, OF
Bingham's effort, that we always did
like that speech" But, as it was their
only stock in trade, it has become stale,
and it would be interesting if those
delectable sheets would, for one issue, at
least, be something else than the trum-
nets of the negro millennium.
