VIII Have IT.

The powers that be are determined to ex-
tend negro suffrage over the Union-North
rs we'll as South-as per House resolution
lately passed by a vote of $50 to AZ Most
Of the latter were Democrats. Can we ex-
pcct to escape? If we have to take poison,
it is mighty good to have the antidote at
had. 1t is our opinion that the bittcrest
men of the Radical party do not care fig
for anything else but negro suffrage. 1t is
what they have been fighting for and they
will have it, The following is the bill:
Be it resolved, &c, (wo thirds of both
Houses concurring) That thefollowing article
be proposed to the Legislatures Of the several
States as an amendment to the Constitution
o. the United States, which when ratified by
three fourths of said Legislatures, shall be
held as part of said Constitution, namely:
t''-iA ARTICLE----, t..,l
Section L. The right of any citizen Of
the United States to vote shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States, or any
State, by reason Of race, color, or previous
condition of slavery Of any citizens of the
United States.
Section 2. The Congress shall have pow:
er to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the
provisions of this article.

!, The Great Endorser.

:. Nj. A, H. II. Stuart said, during his un-
answerable speech at Staunton, "THAr GEN.
LEE Ner ONLY HEARTILY AGREED WITH TaE
+" NEW MOVEMENT" BUT. WAS AMONG THE
F1Rsf TO SUGGEST TIE IDEAS WHICH CON-
troll IT."
It was to lave been expected that General
LEE would have agreed with the thinkers Of
Vlrginia-tor he is man that can render a
reason for what he says and does. He knows
that negro suffrage exists now, and that it can
never be taken away. He would save the
honor Of his State from degradation; he
would prevent her from being trampled under
foot by the negroes and the plunderers who
have been thrown into power by revolution.
We presume that Gen. LEE is about as
true Virglnian as exists, and we should like
to see these men who are sneering at the eff
forts Of the Committee of Nine, dare to i'm
pugn his motives for taking tho stand he has
taken. We know not how the opponents of
the only reconstruction possible will be able to
prevent their bark from sinking under this
shot between wind and water, fired by the old
warrior, who, on the retreat to Appomattox
Court House, served a battery with his own
hands,
The support of such man as Gen. lee is
worth all the sentimeptaism of all the old
fogies that are opposed to the new movement
that is to- save Virginia-yes, it is even more
potent than five epistles in two columns each
From all that we can learn, both from per-
sonal knowledge and from what we read in the
papers, the masses of the officers and soldiers
of the Virginia army are in favor of the true
interests of their dear native State. It was
to be expected that they should be; for they
fought for WHAT they believed to be right
were conquered, and now wish to get the best
possible terms from the conquerors.
The endorsement of GEN. ROBERT E. LEE
was the only thing lacking: We have it now,
and who will dare to dishonor it Norfolk

,ASoUTHERN SCALAwAG ON CARPET BAG
GERS. Hupnicutt, the Richmond chief Of
the Virginia scalawags, expresses his opinion
Of .,caepet bagggets n..this- fashion:
These lnjsoreant adventurers, having no
character Of their own to lose, and no prop
erty to tax,sand no responsibilities resting on
them nieanly, basely and cowardy seek to
build up reputation with the colored people
by lying and OBTAINING and trying to prl..
down the good names of gentlsluen who
would scorn any association with them what
ever. 5cse,ssars, they seek their fortunes by
whining and crying for Office. Producing
nothing, they would suck the last drop Of
blood from the veins of every Virginian to
fill their own empty pockets, and then, in
justification of their own base acts, would
fitch from them that which is worth
more than all the sordid wealth of the earth
their fair reputation, their good name
These ravenous, devouring wolves in sleeps
clothing, who go poking about throughout
the country, whispering, writing, publishing
and circulating infamous lies and ISLANDERS
against the true and tried men Of Virginia,
merit the execration Of all good men and
the eternal anathemas of just and righteous
God. Their sins will find them out, and
they will be brought to shame and -infamy at
| last.

dictator in concluding an editorial on the
church question says :: eve take occasion, as
but simple act of justice, to correct an err
ror into which the Dispatch, and others of
our exchanges have fallen j, in reference to
Mr.. Phelps. He can not be denominated a
"carpet Dagger" as he is native of Frede-
rick Co. Va, owns a farm there and we learn
has spent the greater portion of his life in
this State" 4,e
We were under the impression that Mr.
Phelps was from Frederick county, Md. and
do most sincerely regret that our good old
county Of Frederick, the home of our faith,
er's house has sent forth, not ;scarpct-
Dagger" but "scalawag"of such proportions
BY the way we call the attention of our readers
to the letter of Phelps to the Richmond Dis
patch, with editorial comments on said letter
on the outside. The concluding remarks Of
this scolawagery are worthy Of the man.
