REPUBLICANS TAUGHT BY FOREIGNERS. -
That very excellent and faithful newspaper,
the Washington Patriot, calls attention to
the remarkable fact that distinguished
foreigner, Senator CARL SEIZURE, should
stand up to defend the American Constitu'
ton against infraction from native Amerl-
cans. The Patriot very pithily says:
"The spectacle Of Il foreign-born subject,
now distinguished citizen of the Uuited
States, addressing and appealing to an
American Senate to defend our Constitution

political associates to check the ruinous

SENATOR VANCE CENsUBED. = Governor
Vance is severely criticised by Democratic
Senator's for not resigning and allowing Q
Democrat to be elected who will be allowed
to take his seat. They are sure that his
disabilities will not be removed oshang-
ton dispatch to Louisville Ledger, 25th.
And he ought to be. His conduct In
clutching after what is palpabiy beyond his
reach-meanwhile standing in the place Of
another good Democrat who might reach
for and grasp what Vance cannot-is In
the highest degree reprehensible. It is
an injury to himself, TO the. people
he seeks to represent, and to the cause
Of Right in its battle with Wrong, in
that It keeps one more recruit from being
added to the ranks Of those who fight for
right in the United States Senate. We do
not believe that Governor Vance's course
has the approval of his constituents, and it
is certainly not In accord with the pledge he
was said to have made them when they
elected him-vlz: that II he failed by Jan
uary to have his disabilities removed he
would resign, and let them elect another
man who could take his seat at once

Negro Sufrage-A Republican View

Negro Sufrage-A Republican View.
The conterring the right of suffrage
on the negro, just out Of servitude
and utterly incapable of properly under
standing or exercising the right, was an act
of unparalleled folly, and nothing but vim
dictiveness and selfisbncSs could have led to
IL. Viudictiveness could not alone have
sustained it. That passion required the
motive Of party interest to back it to carry
ont the measure SO abhorrent to every re-
flectine and sober mind. No true states
man would have dreamed Of such an act.
Time was needed to educate the negro and
prove his claim to be made equal with the
white man in all his political relations. But
no; the Republicans were neither states
meG nor sober, rejecting men, and they
rushed into acts of madness that have in
flicted incalculable injury upon the whole
country, and are now the source OF the ran
cours and strfes which keep the nation in
a fcvereish condition, incompatible with
order, peace, and prosperity.
An evil su apparent canrot fail to be seen
and felt even by the Republicans. Occa-
sionally we hear the most remarkable con-
LESSONS from the more sensible and frank
amongst them. VIC are especially struck
with the following remarks, taken from the
New York Commercial IdUertiSer, Re-
publican newspaper Of high standing and
influence. THURLow WEED is its principal
editor. The Comm ercidl. commenting upon
the condition Of the country, says:
"But the questions arise Does the negro
really appreciate his position? Is he capa-
bic of comprebending the Drodlgious step
forward he has made, and all the grave
responsibilities and duties imposed by 1t Z
Here these questions are not Of very great
Importance. The negro vote in the old free
States is Of small account. 1t is in the
South-in States where the vote il control
ing. or where 1t is n decided balance of
power-that these inquiries press for Il
solution. Take South Carolina as an
illustration. There the negro vote remains
both Ignorant and arrogant, and in the
excess of its redundant power it commits
acts that shame the most reckless purposes
of white majorities in their widest partisan
excitement. Those who forced this black
suffrage on the country owe it to their own
honor and credit that they should insist
upon better behavior On the part Of their
wards. They should demand from these
negroes industry, education, tolerance,
moderation, and degree Of decency that
would Mt accept dishonored Congress-
man as their pet candidate for his former
seat. No doubt the advocates of negro suf-
frage have blusEed for these pets who CALI
not blush for themselves. but they must do
more, or this day OF jubilee will be the
brondest farce ever played under the cope
of heaven"

The Virginia Iron Mines.

It Is expected that there will be a smart
reconnaissance of iron property in Virginia
the present year. The extensive operations
Of Mr.. FIRMsroNE, Of Pennsylvania, and
others near Clifton Forge, and their sue
cess in turning out the finest iron known in
the markets, have increased the interest felt
by practical miners in the property along
the James river in its mountain section.
The determination OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad to continue its main line
down James river has stimulated this pros
pecting In mineral property, and we antici.
pate that considerable investments will be
made the present year in Allegheny, Rock.
bridge, and Botetourt counties. Augusta,
too, is rich in minerals, and will come in for
her share of attention.
In the mountain division of james river
there Is great amount of water-power,
with the most favorable sites for its use.
With the railroad along the river the great
est advantages will be afforded to enter
prise there, and we may look for the con-
centration In that division of an immense
manufacturing interest.
We may hope that the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad Company will turn Its atten-
ton to the extension of its line from Clifton
Forge down james river immediately after
the completion of its track to the Ohio. That
extension will give the company a great
business, that will be created along James
river, and it will wonderfully increase the
resources Of the State. Mr.. HUNTINGTON is
as much alive to the importance Of this ex-
tension as any man in Virginia-nay, we
suppose he has better idea OF its peculiar
advantages to his company and the public
than any one else. So we feel satisfied that
he will not be slow to push it forward with
ali possible speed.
