The proposition from Senator Pom.
roy, OF Kansas, to amend the Consti.
tuition by establishing female suffrage
is to be subject of some discussion in
and out of Congress. But as year,
will pass before it can be seriously
entertained, tho friends Of the mea.
sure are preparing to demand of Con-
grcss tho trial of the experiment Of
woman suffrage in the district. Con.
gross is always ready to inflict any kind
of experiment upon tho district over
which they have exclusive Jurisdiction.
Hero they commenced tho abolition
of slavery. lIcre they gave suffrage
to tho negroes, and here established
negro supremacy in municipal affairs.
Here, too, Congress required that the
public schools shall receive blacks
and whites, unfortunately, and that
street cars, hotels, and theatres shall
open alike to people Of all colors.-.
Petitions for the cxtention Of suffrage
to all women in tho district are com.
ing in, just as of old petitions for
the abolition Of slavery in the district
we're manufactured and thrust upon
Congress.
The Massachusetts, Senators have
heretofore stated that they would not
consider tho policy of equal rights as
finally established, until a negro was
elected President. They are, Of
course, gratifiod by tho election of q
colored Senator from Mississippi
They will practically endeavor to give
him tho position of President pro ten.
of the Senate, which makes him the
contingent President of tho United
States.
Tho burdens Of tho protective poll
cy begin to be seriously felt in New
England as we'll ms elsewhere in the
country. Some able speeches have
been made of late by members from
that quarter, against protective duties,
which burden their navigation inter-
ests and thoir cotton and wool manu-.
factures. They pay heavy duties on
coal, iron, wool, hides and other ma
terial entering these Manufactures
The press is now denouncing the poll
cy of discrimination for protection
~ change in public opinion is going
on upon this subject. The tariff must

The POLITICAL OUTLooK-The Philadel-
phia Age (Democratic) has been looking over
the political field, and takes the following hope,
full view:
A glance at the political condition of parties
in this country at the present time shows the
drift of the current decidedly in favor of the
Democratic organization. The Radicals are
demoralized at the centre and the circumfer-
ence. They are worm-eaten with corruption,
overloaded with jobs, and paralyzed by the in
ordinate ambition of bad men in all sections OF
the country Their President is welded in all
kinds of schemes which promise golden re-
suits, and their Senators and Representatives
are bold. blatant defenders of misrule and ty-
ranny in the States and nation. This condition
of things has produced the usual restlts. The
party are dissatisfied and are letting that dis
satisfaction be seen in their actions in various
localities. In Allegheny county, in this State,
several hundred Radicals signed call for an
independent movement and convention. The
time has come" say the signers Of the call,
"for reform of our party organization"
Again they say: eve invite the cordial CO. CO.
operation of all honest Republicans who wish
to rescue their organization from the corrupt
ing domination of selfish, uHprincipled politi-
Clans" Such bubbles as this rising to the sur
lace OF party poll1Cs, SHo" 'n"' 'nSio 10
lively fermentation going on underneath.
Judge Kelly will have an independent candi-
date to face in his district, and Mr.. ONeill is
in like prcdicament. In Indiana the Radi-
cal soldiers complain of being cheated by the
wire-pulers of that party, and threats of ven
geance at the polls are heard in all portions of
the State. The Boston Journal, in speaking of
the political cam, .sn in Massachusetts,, says:
"In all probability the Republicans will have
as their standard-bearer Gov. Clatfin, the Dem
ocrats will again rally around Colonel John
Quincy Adams, and the Labor Reform party,
if they desert Mr.. Chamberlin, will put up MIR.
Colby, of Newburyport. There are evidences
that the contest will be exciting and without
doubt, it will in some respects be close one
Much will depend upon the action of Congress
and the acts which it can cOnsummate to bring
relief to an overtaxed nation" And it adds ::
"The Democrats purpose makinga strong effort
to carry the two Boston districts, and in one OF
these districts an effort will be made to induce
a third candidate to run. The reelection OF
Hon. Henry Wilson will depend upon the re-
suit of the State election, and the prizes there
fore of the next campaign will call forth the
best energies of our opponents" These are
few matters observed from the outlook, and
they are both significant and cheering. Each
day weakens the Radical party. Their load is
too heavy for them to- carry. On the other
hand the Democratic party is in splendid con-
dition for the fight, and must win the coming
political battle.

Clay AND PRENTIcE.-John Russell Young,
of the New York Standard who attended the
Associated Press Convention in Louisville, thus
writes of two Kentucky celebrities:
ave saw much of Louisville, which is an
interesting city, with its substance and shadows.
The shadows of Clay and Crittenden and Tom
Marshall, and the men of '9S and all that race
of fine gentlemen who once stalked these streets
and made Kentucky power in American pol
itics. Here Clay lived his noisy, bubbIing,
rapturorfs career-the same Henry Clay ABOUT
whom we SO loudly sang-actually dead, ana
never song to his memory-his work over and
forgotten Door foolish day-dreaming work as
much of it was-and -drifted far into silence
and night, the gaudiest sea bubble that ever
CAUGHT the sunshine long on the crest, ever
raudy and shining, only to break at last into
foam. No party, no policy, no one living
speech, no one hearty deed, only his bright
cherry Kentucky smile, a bubble once and
only foam! We stood in the room where
Prentice worked and slept-a kind of journal
istic monk; where he cooked his steak on
ramrotl until it was half done, and baked po,
tatoes in the Goals. We saw the cupboard
where he kept fresh bread and raisins and nuts
where day and night he lived and labored, IN
the aroma of ink and dampened paper. we
stood by his grave on Cave Hill, the greenes.,
and sunniest spot in Kentucky sweet, quiet ano
peaceful, but grave quite forgotten, 1or mo 2
stone marks his tomb. A simple, sodoeo
mound. with fresh June roses struggling over
f. and only known to the eyes of affection and
friendship as the resting place of George D.

LIVING BEYOND THEIR MEANs.-Bulwer
says that poverty is only an idea, nine cases out
of ten. Some men with ten thousand dollars
year suffer more for the want of means than
others with three hundred. The reason is the
richer man has artificial wants. His income IS
ten thousand and he suffers enough for being
dunned for unpaid debts to kill sensitive man:
A man who earns dollar day and does not
run in debt, is the happier Of the two. Very
few people who have never been rich will be-
lieve this but it is true. There are thousands
and thousands with princcly incomes who never
know a moments peace because they live
above their means. There is really more hap
piness in the world among the working people
than among those who are called rich.
This living beyond ones means, is the cause
of more decentralization and woe in the human
family than any other of those indiscretions in
which it seems man is inclined to indulge. Es-
pecially is it SO in the cities of the world where
vicious temptations in so many varied forms
abound. Bulwer, more than any other Of the
popular modern writers, seems to understand
what poverty really is. He is poor who lives
beyond his means, while he who lives within
them is not. And this will apply to the mil
lionaire as we'll as to him who has to labor for
his daily bread.

President Grant and the Southern Emigrants
TO Brazil.

When the war closed large number Of
Southerners- -downcast, disheartened, and, it
may be, Observation-Disclosures their old homes
and sought q refuge in the South American
States. 1t needs not to tell how miserably
they fared In land of strangers; with scan:
ty resources; regarded, too often, with jeal-
ousy or downright dislike-they toiled on
wearily, month after month, winning only dis
appointment, and earning nothing but regret.
Too many of their women and children laid
their bones on the shores of Brazil and the
hopeful sturdy colonists who deserted the
South when Its crimson flags were furled, were
speedily changed into a care-worn band OF
feeble and heartbroken laborers, whose sole re-
naming hope was that, one day, they might be
able to drag themselves back to the South.
The more fortunate did work, or beg, their
way to the Southern States. There were many,
however, who were wholly destitute. Their
own people could not aid them, and but for
the humane and generous conduct of the Uni,
ted States Government, they must have dragged
on in life, without the faintest expectation of
relief
The facts connected with the condition of
these poor Southerners were brought to the
attention of President Grant, and an order was
at once issued directing the officers of the South
Atlantic Squadron to extend passage to the
United States to all destitute voluntary ex-
iles'-as they are tenderly called. This order
was in some way misunderstood, and second
order was issued, as follows:
instructions have heretofore been given to
the commanding officer of the South Atlantic
Squadron to extend passage in any vessel re-
turning home to destitute voluntary exiles from
the United States, who desire to return, and
who are approved by the minister to Brazil.
''The department renews these instructions,
and you will please regard them as embracing
such exiles, whether in Brazil, the Argentine
Republic, or other States of South America
within the limits of your station-they being
approved by the United States ministers respec-
lively
"You will also consider the instructions as
applying to the vessels of any squadron touch
ing on the Brazilian or Argentine coast en-
route to the United States"
The order is, we need hardly say, obeyed in
spirit and in letter. This, indeed, is shown by
the manner of the treatment of the destitute
men, women and children, whose arrival at
this port from Brazil, in the Quinnebang, has
already been noticed.
The conduct of the Administration in regard
to the Southern emigrants to Brazil is worthy
of all praise, and the humane generosity of
President Grant, in enabling these unfortunates
to return to their homes, will be appreciated as
warmly as it deserves by the whole Southern
people, Charleston Ns,cs.

WHY the Confederates did not Advance After
the First Manassas. 1.-The Truth Of History
Vindicafed.
From tile Savannah Republican.

In the second volume of Mr.. Stephens ellis
tory of the War between the States" the author
declares as a fact that President Davis "was
responsible for the failure of the Confederate
troops to advance after the first battle of Manas-
sas.' We have no doubt of Mr.. Stephens be-
lieved this to be true when he wrote it, indeed
that he is incapable of wilful misrepresenta-
tion; but that he was mistaken in this state
ment when he wrote it, and depended more
upon rumors current at the time and set atoat
by persons unfriendly to the President than
upon sound authority, we did not doubt when
it first fell under our eye. We also feel quite
we'll assured that Mr.. Stephens will be prompt
to correct the statement as soon as he shall be-
come convinced of its error, which is now
placed beyond all dispute, and by the very
highest authority-the General who command
ed the Confederate army at the time.
The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion, edited by the
able and talented Barksdale, contains the fol-
lowing correspondence which is conclusive of
the long debated issues. 1t will be seen that
General Joseph E. Johnston takes the entire
responsibility of the failure of our army to
march on Washington after the signal victory
and rout of the Federal army at Manassas, and
that he bases his decision on the military situ-
alton at the time:
RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 81, 1861.
Gen. j. E. Johnston, Commanding Department
of the Potomac:
S1R-Reports have been and are being wide
ly circulated to the effect that / prevented
General Beauregard from pursuing the enemy
after the battle of Manassas, and had subse-
ouently restrained him from advancing upon
Washington City. Though such statements
may have been made merely for my injury, and
in that view their notice might be postponed to
a more convenient season, they have served to
create distrust, to excite disappointment, and
must embarrass the Administration in its fur
ther efforts to reinforce the armies of the Poto-
mac, and generally to provide for the public
defence.
For these public considerations, call upon
you as the Commanding General, and as par
ty to all the conferences held by me on the 2lst
and 22d of July, to say whether l obstructed
the pursuit of the enemy after the victory at
Manassas, or have ever objected to an advance
or any other active operation which 1t was fea-
sible for the army to undertake.
Very respectfully, yours &C.,
JEFFERSON DAVIS

The Survivors, Association:

The following circular is now being sent to
soldiers of the Confederate army, with view
of gathering statistical information from such
sources as are now plentiful, but which in a
few years will disappear from the stage of ac-
ton. We trust that the appeal of Gen. Hamp-
ton will not go unheeded, but that all will feel
it duty to promote this object; ihitself praise
worthy, but Of iHcalculable value to the future
historian and deeply interesting to posterity;
The State Survivors Association desires to
collect, preserve and publish the personal his;
tory of the troops furnished by South Carolina
to the Confederate service: The Association
desires first to publish the names Of all entitled
to place upon that glorious roll, and next, as
far as possible, the history of each and every
one so enrolled
Taking up the work commenced by Professor
Rivers during the war, the Executive Commit,
tee proposes to 20 on with ito obtain and
perfect the rolls of companies, the records of
regiments and the history of brigaaes for inn. ;,

the general and staff departments, to-wit; gen

of the originals remain, but, as the companies
were each formed in distinct neighborhoods, it
it is believed rolls very nearly correct can now
be made by the survivors from memory, If they
will only seriously undertake the work.
The Executive Committee of the State ask
that you will make out from the original rolls
or from memofy of your comrades and yourself,
rolls of your company or staff department, up
on the blank forms furnished herewith; and
when completed, transmit the same to Colonel
Edward McCrady, Jr., Chairman Executive
Committee State Survivors Association, at
Charleston.
I appeal earnestly to all who were in our ser
vice to cooperate with the association in the
object it has in view as it is a matter of great
historical importance, and should be one OF
pride, that the name of every man given by our
State to the Confederate service should be en-
rolled and preserved. Several of the Southern
States are now preparing similar rolls, and 1t
will be o subject of emulation among all to as
certain which of them gave most freely to our

Strength Of European Armies.

In view of the Disqualification Europe, it is
interesting to know what military force the
nations concerned can put in the field. France
has 414, ,632 soldiers on the peace footing and
647, ,271 in the field, total of nearly 100000.
Of these, 10000 men are ready to march on
the tap of the drum.
Austria has 27S, men on the peace estab-
lishment, S3S,700 of war strength, or 100000
fully prepared to move. Could the South Ger
cured on the same side, they have $3.50 men
on the peace or 1S4,406 on the war footing,
with 1O7 900 of these prepared for instant ser
vice. Such coalition would give France the
control of 1000 fighting men at once, with a
reserve of 1856, LOG trained soldiers.
On the other hand, Prussia has 1850 men
on the peace or 1,266, 900 on the war footing,
with 100000 now ready for operations on her
western frontier. North Germany, going with
Prussia, 315,529 on the peace, 55l 1893 on the
field or 944,321 on the war footing, of which
$4,000 are instantly available. This would
place at Prussian disposal 846 900 men, for the
first moment and 1,364,321 in reserve. Thus
she would have, instantly, $4,000 men more,
and, hereafter, 231,785 less than the French
alliance. Should she be able to manage South
ern Germany for her cause she would have
1853, 900 men, or 176, 900 more than France to
move at once, or quite enough to cope with her
and Austria together, for the time being, with
all the advantages of common language and
position This would leave Prussia still a re-
serve of 1.441,727 men, or only 154,379 less
than that of France and Austria coalesced, a
difference swamped to the extent of nearly
10000 men by her superiority of immediate
force.
Italy, out of force of 376,721 on war
footing, with 1877, 900 of reserve, or 573,721 in
all, could spare, possibly, 100000 men to op-
crate on French frontier or hold hostile corps
in check. The direct and open participation of
Russia is hardly to be expected unless circum-
stances should force her into the melee. In
that case she could dispose of about 25O, 900
men from about 900 composing her army in
Europe, including the Cossacks. She could
take no other course by family alliance, posi-
ton and the recollection of Crimean wounds
than to aid Prussia Sweden and Denmark
would, if they dared to move at all, have to so
in the same direction, with about $4,000 men.
Thus Italy, the Car and Scandinavia would
bring King William 100000 men-a force that,
with South German aid, would place him 43O,-
900 ahead of France, allowing England, Bel
gium, Holland and Switzerland to remain neu-
trail.
