the franchise. The effect will be,
if ratified, to excluded from voting
all who fail to pay poll tax, or
have been convicted of larceny.
We had a law making payment of
poll tax a condition precedent to suf-
frage, but for want of backbone
in the legislators, the law was repeal
ed. Sound policy demands Its re-en-
actment and, if compatible with the
constitution, it should also be enacted
that conviction for larceny shall bar
the exercise of the franchise. Virtue

our free institutions, must have some
advantage over ignorance and vice al

government are blessings that should

to maintain an abstract idea that was
not entertained by the fou nders of our
government.

THEgame of the hard money men is to
disconnect the government and the cur
reney. and this is to be done by selling
interest bearing bonds for the where
with to redeem legal tenders and thus
leave the country with no other cur
rency than that furnished by two
thousand national banks. The oppo-
nents of this policy desire to dispense
with all these banks and make green
backs the currency and the treasury of
the country responsible for it. The
leaders of the administration propose,
perhaps, to make the banks nominally
responsible for the disasters that are
TO follow contraction, and thus white
wash policy designedly corrupt and
ruinous.

ALLis yau,tv. saith the preacher

ALL is vanity, saith the preacher;
yet how few, in their eager pursuit. Of
wealth and fame, pause to reflect how
brief their sojourn on earth-how little
the game they are playing is worth the
candle-thatt the shrcud has no pockets,
and the grave no ear for the peans to
posthumous fame, for which so many
have pawned the brightest jewels Of
earth to be redeenled-when? and
where? and how? The Unsuitable
character of ambition is fully Illus
trated by the career of the late Andrew
johnson, who. beginning with the
humble Office of village Alderman,
climbed by successive gradations to that
Of President of the United States.
When he could get no higher, instead
of retiring to the quiet enjoyment of
private life, his ambition prompted
him to step upon lower round of the
ladder for the purpose of climbing
again to The highest. The antagonisms
of political life possessed charm for
his restless spirit, and nothing save the
hand of death could still the pulsa-
tions of an ambition that never slept
and fixed no limit to its aspirations.
In some respect remarkable man, he
long played prominent partin public
affairs whether for good or evil. pos
terity will decide. An impartial crit
icism of his acts and doings is not
now possible, as his opponents will I'M
derrate, as much as his friends will over
rate, his services 10 official life. He is
resting now from all his labors-iet the
good be may have done live after him,
and the evil be buried out of sight.
We hsve said that Mr.. johnson, in
some respects, was a remarkable man,
and IN nothing more conspicuously so
than in indomitable will and untiring
energy; in the absence of greed when
those around him were plundeFing the
people and amassing fortunes. without
regard TO the means employed. and in
the magnetic power he exerted over
those brought within his influence.
Through the instrumentality of these
leading traits, he won political friends
who adhered to him with a fidelity
bordering on worship, thus gaining a
commanding influence over every 2o-
litical movement of parties within the
State. And whilst We have failed to
see wherein be has been distinguish
ed benefactor of his country. he has
left behind him a noble example of
honestyin private and official life. He
will hold conspicuous place in his
tory, and his memory will be held in
respect by his political opponents and
warmly cherished ly his friends.

ALREADY the would be- philanthro-

elephant they acquired as the fruits of
the war. Notwithstanding their con-

proclivity of the negro to vice and
crime, Incidence and improvidence,
even to a greater extent than is appa-
rent in those who were once slaves.
